Project Lou: Episode 6

Author: Golf Swing Productions by Mark Crossfield Greg Chalmers and Lou Stagner January 16, 2025 Duration: 41:36

Project Lou returns! In this episode, Lou is the student and Mark is the coach, and Greg might be the crisis negotiator brought in to defuse the situation. The guys update us on what Lou has been working on, providing important information on the relationship of plane to path. But the conversation becomes bigger: how quickly should swing changes take root? When is it not worth it to make a change? Most crucially: why is it so hard for many of us amateurs to make a swing change? You'll learn something here that will improve your own work at improving.
