001: How Long Should a Golf Lesson Be?

Episode 1

Wednesday, March 12, 2025 • Duration 18:41

Welcome to the very first episode of The Spin Axis! Erik, Jayson, and Tyson kick things off by challenging a long-standing tradition in golf instruction — the one-hour lesson. Is 60 minutes really the sweet spot, or could a shorter (or longer) session be the key to unlocking a student’s best swing? This episode touches on the psychology, practicality, and application of lesson length for juniors, better players, and more.

006: Skill vs. Technique — What's the Difference and Why It Matters

Episode 6

Tuesday, April 15, 2025 • Duration 19:56

Erik, Jayson, and Tyson dive into one of the most debated (and rightly so!) concepts in golf development: the difference between skill and technique. What separates the ability to execute under pressure from just having good mechanics? Can skill be coached, or is it something players must build on their own? The crew explores how technique influences skill, the role of genetics, and how to strike the right balance during both practice and competition. With real-world examples, coaching insights, and a few takes on block vs. random practice, this episode is a must-listen for players and coaches alike.

005: Low Spinners vs. Using the Bounce — What's the Better Short Game Move?

Episode 5

Tuesday, April 8, 2025 • Duration 19:06

In this episode, the guys break down one of the most mesmerizing shots in golf — the low spinner — and contrast it with the more forgiving, bounce-friendly approach to chipping and pitching. Is that sexy one-hop-and-stop shot worth chasing, or should you lean into bounce for better consistency and margin for error? The guys dig into the role of friction, strike location, and swing plane, and discuss why understanding your options is key. Whether you’re trying to master every short game shot or just stop chunking chips, this episode blends technical insight with real-world coaching wisdom.

Episode 7

Tuesday, April 22, 2025 • Duration 17:56

In Episode 7, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson take a hard look at the rise of social media golf instruction. From Instagram reels to YouTube tips, golfers are flooded with quick fixes and flashy drills. But are they actually helping? The guys break down the pros and cons, from the accessibility and exposure to different teaching styles to the dangers of chasing every new “tip of the week” without context or consistency. They also explore why feel-based advice can backfire, and how to spot quality content from random noise. If you’ve ever gone down the swing-tip rabbit hole, this episode is for you.

010: Commonly Misunderstood Concepts in Golf

Episode 10

Tuesday, May 13, 2025 • Duration 19:12

In this episode, we dive into some of the most misunderstood ideas that golfers — of all levels — tend to get backward. We break down why your arms shouldn’t do much in the backswing but are crucial in the downswing, why the hands and club don’t just move straight toward the ball from the top, and how “lateral force” is not the same as swaying (and might actually help prevent it). These aren’t just swing tips — they’re deeper concepts that, when understood correctly, can change the way you move and improve.

009: The Most Common Golf Lessons We Give (Spin Axis Draft Style)

Episode 9

Tuesday, May 6, 2025 • Duration 19:33

In Episode 9 of The Spin Axis, the crew goes draft-style again — this time picking the most common swing issues they see in lessons (excluding grip and setup). From over-the-top swings and open clubfaces to tension-filled postures and chicken-winged finishes, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down the problems they coach most often—and how they fix them. You’ll hear practical insights on backswing rotation, arm structure, and why what feels right is often what’s holding you back. If you’ve ever wondered what pros actually work on with everyday golfers, this episode gives you a front-row seat.

1. Tyson: Over the top, open face
2. Erik: Pelvis thrust in the backswing
3. Jayson: Not rotating in the backswing
4. Jayson: Grip/body tension
5. Erik: “Ulnar throwing” instead of twist/roll to square face
6. Tyson: Chicken wing/poor arm structure

008: Should You Get Better or Worse in a Lesson?

Episode 8

Tuesday, April 29, 2025 • Duration 18:46

We dive into a common (and oft-debated) part of the lesson experience — what should progress actually look like during a session? Should players expect immediate improvement, or is a temporary step back part of the process? We explore how ball flight, quality of motion, and player feel can all tell different stories — and why it’s crucial to define what “better” really means. We also touch on the importance of video feedback, trust-building, and why ongoing support after the lesson might matter just as much as what happens during it. If you’ve ever left a lesson wondering, “Did that actually help?”, this episode is for you.
