Recorded remotely at the historic Interlachen Country Club, this is our first ever podcast live on the course! Our guest who Karissa Dunham get's to sit down with? None other than Dr. Luke Benoit — founder of Ryp Golf, creator of RypStick, and one of the leading minds in golf swing mechanics, motor learning, and speed training.Dr. Benoit isn’t just a coach — he’s a Ph.D. whose research dives deep into how golfers actually learn and retain better mechanics.

In this episode, we unpack some game-changing ideas that form the foundation of his new book, “The 7-Step Swing Change™”, and the newly launched Ryp Ignite Coaching Program — a powerful one-two punch designed to help golfers at every level finally break through plateaus. We cover a ton, including:

• The real reason most golfers struggle to make lasting swing changes (hint: it’s not just practice volume)
• What "dual-task interference" means, and why focusing on your ball flight while trying to change your swing might be sabotaging your progress
• How the 7-Step Mechanics Ladder™ can help you build a better motion without overwhelming your brain
• The Ladder System, RypStick, and other tools Dr. Benoit has developed to help players train smarter, not harder
• The concept of Skill Periodization — learning when to be the “Engineer” and when to be the “Artist”
• Stories from coaching elite players.
• A sneak peek at Parallax, the new smartphone-based visual feedback tool built to support the 7-Step Swing Change method
• And the full breakdown of Ryp Ignite — a 30-day, cohort-based coaching experience that’s as engaging as it is effective

What makes this episode different is that it doesn’t just tell you what  to do — it digs into how your brain actually learns motor skills and what that means for your golf game.

🧠 Whether you're trying to gain 10 mph in swing speed, finally fix that over-the-top move, or better structure your practice sessions, Dr. Benoit shares insights that could truly change your trajectory.
