Dan Landman is the founder of Spoiler Golf and the inventor of the Spoiler OG Putter.

The idea for Spoiler Golf came from putting with a wedge and, by extension, learning how pure the ball rolled from the leading edge of a Wedge vs the traditional “flat face” of a putter. Dan and Spoiler Golf believe a better roll of the golf ball unlocks a better putting experience, and so they set out to change the face of putting for everybody.

Dan's suspicion of a purer roll of the ball coming off the leading edge of a club vs the face of a putter was confirmed with research measuring the skid and roll of golf ball.  He and his engineer/designer doubled down on their efforts and built a number of "Leading Edge" putters.  Eventually after much trial and error they settled on the Spoiler OG - a putter where form truly met function.

Dan explains the Leading Edge technology as he introduces the Spoiler Putter.  He also addresses:

• The importance of putting and the role it plays in lowering scores
• How the Leading Edge technology works
• How Leading Edge technology enhances focus and concentration on the process of excecution on the greens
• Impact location for success in distance control and accuracy 
• Mitigating the yips with Leading Edge technology, and
• How the Spoiler gives instant feedback for quicker, more purpose-driven learning.

Chuck Quinton is a respected golf instructor and the founder of "The Rotary Swing" golf swing learning system - a system that is based on human anatomy, physics, golf swing mechanics and how the brain learns new motor movement patterns.

Chuck operates the Rotary Swing Academy in Orlando Florida, is active on YouTube and has also authored three golf instruction books. 

He joins Mark Immelman to discuss his Rotary Swing approach to instruction and also share his GOAT Code to striking the golf ball more powerfully and consistently.

He also elaborates on the following game improvement topics:

• The big picture golf swing idea for better ballstriking
• Efficient power production
• The "Goat" delivery position
