The Rebuild - Part 3: Is Your Swing Sequence Correct?

from The ModGolf Podcast · host The ModGolf Podcast

Is your golf swing stuck in the past? In Part 3 of "The Rebuild," I’m back in the bay with Quinn Vilneff, Class A PGA of Canada Professional at Gowanus Golf Club in Vancouver. We’ve fixed the chipping issues, so now it’s time to tackle the full swing. The one that’s been holding me back for years. If you struggle with pulls, wipey fades, or feel like you just can’t compress the ball, this lesson is for you. Quinn breaks down why my 61-year-old baseball background is fighting my golf swing and gives me three simple, actionable feels to finally get my sequencing right. We go deep on Smash Factor, Center of Mass, ground reaction forces, and the "kinematic sequence," but Quinn makes it simple. The result? I gained 15+ yards with my 7-iron almost instantly just by moving my body differently. Are you more of a watcher than a listener?
