Show Notes

This episode features Dr. Sasho MacKenzie, noted golf biomechanist, consultant to PING, and creator of The Stack System, joining Erik, Jayson, and Tyson for a deep dive into putting speed control. The conversation explores research showing which stroke variables matter less than golfers think, and why speed in particular drives putting success. Sasho explains how golfers develop better speed awareness, why heads-up putting can be an effective training tool (or method!), and what actually changes when players try it. Hey, maybe you’re in the 80% of golfers who saw over a quarter stroke gained per round putting heads up?

Hosts: Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol, Tyson Deskins
