In this lively mailbag episode, the crew tackles eight listener questions covering everything from the “P System” to why some golfers might hit draws on the launch monitor but fades on the course. Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down counterintuitive swing concepts, discuss how alignment and perception change ball flight, and share strategies for playing better on unfamiliar courses. They offer practical advice for short-game practice without a green, explain why many instructors promote a draw, and dive into when, if ever, you should stop making swing changes. The episode wraps with a clear explanation of what it really means to square the clubface without “flipping,” and why YouTube often oversimplifies the issue.
