Check out Jon's new YouTube Channel with Pete's Golf called Golf Gear Explained: https://www.youtube.com/@golfgearexplained Scott Fawcett from DECADE Golf joins us for another wide-ranging conversation, and this one quickly turns into a deep dive on one of golf’s most debated topics: shot shaping. Scott, Adam, and Jon debate what a “double-cross” really means, why most golfers are better served by developing a reliable stock shot, and where shot-shaping practice can still be useful for building clubface and path awareness. We also discuss examples from the Masters, including Rory McIlroy’s driver patterns at Augusta, and why advice that applies to elite players often needs more context before everyday golfers try to copy it. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Scott. In Part 2, we’ll get into how he prepares for tournament golf, the putting and short-game drills he prioritizes, and a more debate on block versus random practice.

Listeners might remember my issue with my hip last year, which put me out of action for six months. Well, having Chris Finn on from Par4Success, he was on the show, and I decided to work with their team and take their free physical assessment, and I found out my hips were severely limited in mobility. And since then, I've been implementing their exercises, and I can say that not only is my hip issue completely cleared, but my entire body feels like I'm back in my 20s. I completely forgot how much freedom of movement I'd lost over the years until it was unlocked again. Par4Success are one of the top golf fitness teams that specialize in physical performance. Their free physical assessment is a five-minute test to see how you compare to other golfers in some of the key areas that relate to distance and injury. Again, it's free. Go to par4success.com/sweetspot to get yours done in the next week. Again, it's par4success.com/sweetspot. When it's par four, it, use the number four.
