Without LEARNING technology becomes ENTERTAINMENT How to BEST use a Launch Monitor with Henri Johnson from FlightScope #420

Author: Karl Morris July 31, 2026 Duration: 48:56

Can technology really make you a better golfer—or does it simply confirm what you already know?

In this fascinating episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by Henri Johnson, CEO and founder of FlightScope, to explore how launch monitor technology can transform your game when it's used with purpose.

Henri shares the remarkable story behind FlightScope's journey, from developing radar systems for the military to revolutionising ball tracking in cricket, tennis and, ultimately, golf. Along the way, he explains why accurate feedback—not guesswork—is the key to meaningful improvement.

Together, Karl and Henri discuss the importance of understanding impact, why consistency beats chasing distance, and how golfers can use technology to develop genuine skill rather than simply collecting data. It's a thought-provoking conversation about deliberate practice, curiosity and learning, reminding us that technology without learning is just entertainment.

If you've ever wondered whether a launch monitor is worth the investment, or how to use one to genuinely lower your scores, this episode is packed with practical advice from two experts who believe better information leads to better performance.

In this episode you'll discover:

  • Why impact—not swing appearance—is the true skill in golf.
  • The fascinating story of how FlightScope evolved from military radar to golf technology.
  • Why launch monitors should be used to develop skills, not simply gather numbers.
  • The importance of reducing variability before chasing more distance.
  • How improving strike location can dramatically improve your scores.
  • Why having a coach alongside technology accelerates learning.
  • The role of deliberate practice and honest feedback in long-term improvement.
  • How technology builds confidence by replacing guesswork with certainty.
  • Why curiosity and a clear improvement plan are essential for every golfer.
  • Practical advice on choosing the right FlightScope product for your game.

Whether you're a weekend golfer, a serious competitor or a coach looking to help players improve, this episode offers invaluable insights into using technology the right way—and becoming a smarter, more confident golfer.

Karl Morris has spent years working as a performance coach with some of the best golfers in Europe, and in Mind Caddie-Improve Your Mental Golf Game, he shares that expertise directly with you. This isn't just about swing thoughts or technical fixes; it's a deep, practical exploration of the psychology that dictates performance on the course. The conversation moves beyond simple positive thinking to address the real challenges players face: handling frustration after a bad hole, maintaining focus over eighteen holes, and building a resilient confidence that doesn't vanish under tournament pressure. Each episode feels like a personal session, breaking down the mental frameworks used by tour professionals into actionable strategies for any committed player. You'll hear discussions on managing expectations, creating effective pre-shot routines, and understanding how your brain can be your greatest asset or your biggest obstacle. The aim is to provide the tools that help you access your best game more often, turning those range sessions into reliable performance when it truly counts. Tune into this podcast for honest, nuanced talks that get to the heart of why we play the way we do, offering a distinct advantage that has nothing to do with new equipment and everything to do with the space between your ears.
