In this episode, Jon and Adam dive into a new framework Jon calls the “In Spite Of” model - an honest look at the flaws every golfer has, and how you can still play great golf anyway. They unpack why some quirks should be ignored, others need ongoing management, and a select few truly deserve your attention. Along the way, they share examples from tour pros, their students, and their own games to show how imperfect swings and tendencies can still produce excellent results.

The conversation wraps with a deep breakdown of smash factor - what it really means, why it varies across clubs, and how golfers misunderstand it.

Thank you to our show sponsors, The Indoor Golf Shop, Bubs Naturals, and Aura Frames:
