The Sweet Spot - Golf Podcast

Everyone talks about hitting fades and draws… but should you actually be shaping the ball both ways? In this episode, we explore the real tradeoffs of intentional shot shaping versus playing more neutral - including how it affects dispersion, confidence, and your ability to manage the course. We also break down why most golfers misunderstand “two-way misses,” and how face control (not curve) is what really separates the best players. If you’ve ever wondered whether you’re overcomplicating your shot shapes, this one’s for you.

Thank you to our show sponsors Hack Motion, Rhoback, and LMNT



Analyzing thousands of swings, our partner HackMotion found that casting is one of the most common faults among mid- and higher-handicap players — and a major reason for lost power, poor contact, and inconsistency.

If you’re releasing the club early in the downswing, you’re leaving distance on the table and making it harder to strike the ball solidly.

The good news? You can fix it with one simple drill. What is here:
