Episode notes
Coaching Clears The Noise
- Kerrod relishes clearing confusion for students and loves the 'breakthrough' moment when things suddenly feel simple.
- He says golfers are more educated but also more confused, and coaching clarifies that noise.
Swing As One Continuous Motion
- The golf swing is one continuous athletic motion, not two separate phases with a pause at the top.
- Creating a strict two-piece backswing/downswing adds tension and jerky timing that ruins sequencing.
Step-Through Drill For Better Timing
- Do the feet-together step-through drill: swing back with feet together, step forward as the lead arm passes parallel, then swing through.
- Use this to train lower-body lead, timing, rhythm and to eliminate top-of-swing jerkiness.
