GS#484 April 14, 2015: Back by popular demand for his 10th appearance on Golf Smarter, Tom Wishon, the world’s authority and (unofficial) spokesperson for custom club fitting returns to address the misinformation from big club makers who want you to believe that buying a one-size-fits-all club off the rack will improve your game. The fact is that every swing and every body style is different, so that what you see on TV or in the hands of this weekend’s Tour winner is probably the wrong club for you. More myths discussed in the Premium episode:   
• Custom club making is much more expensive.    
• High handicappers should wait for greater improvement before they invest in custom fit clubs.
• Painting a club white is an effective way to introduce new technology

GS#483 April 7, 2015: “There’s not a golf professional in the world who thinks about hitting the ball!” is just one of the eye opening comments from this week’s guest, John Grund PGA. John has competed at the pro level, and has coached players who’ve competed at every level, but he knows that most amateur golfers focus more on the ball then on their target. He also talks about the quickest way to hit the ball straighter and get more distance is to find the bottom or your swing arc. It supposed to be in front of the ball where most of us try to hit the back of the ball. Have you ever noticed how many times per round your divot is behind the ball?
At the end of the episode, John provides us with a video tutorial on how to find the bottom of the arc of your swing. Watch it here: https://youtu.be/Lkg8YcKyj90
