In this episode of The Mind Caddie, Karl Morris is joined by renowned golf biomechanist Dr Kwon, whose research into golf swing mechanics and ground reaction forces has influenced coaches and players around the world.

Play Better Under Pressure: Karl Morris and Randy Joyner on the Mental Game of Golf #415
What really separates great golfers from the rest? In this episode of The Mind Caddie Podcast, Karl Morris is joined by top coach and former tour player Randy Joyner to unpack the mental and technical lessons from the US Open — and how everyday golfers can use them to play better under pressure. Together, Karl and Randy explore why so many golfers get trapped in overthinking their swing, how elite players stay present when the pressure is at its highest, and why the real key to better golf may be learning to focus on shots, not swing mechanics. They discuss Wyndham Clark's US Open win, the importance of acceptance, composure and attention control, and why golfers at every level can improve by understanding low point control, club-ground interaction, and the mental skills that create freedom on the course. The conversation also dives into putting, practice habits, anxiety, confidence, and why trying to control every technical detail can actually hold your game back. If you want to stop getting in your own way, improve your focus, and learn how better players really think their way around a golf course, this is an episode you won't want to miss. In this episode: Lessons from the US Open and Wyndham Clark's approach Why overthinking creates anxiety and poor performance The difference between playing golf shots and chasing swing positions How focus, awareness and acceptance improve performance Why low point control is such a vital skill in golf Better ways to practise putting and prepare to play under pressure How tour players manage attention, composure and decision-making Buy the Mind Caddie book: Mind Caddie: How to Become the Golfer You Know You Can Be Become a Certified Mind Factor Coach: www.themindfactor.com Join the Mind Caddie community: www.mindcaddie.golf Shop with code : MINDFACTOR10 at checkout for 10% OFF your next order at www.fenixxcell.com @fenixxcell

Why You're Practising Too Much Golf (And Thinking Too Hard) | Don Christenson #413
Can you actually play better golf when you have less time to practice? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, performance coach, psychologist, and former Stanford golf team player Don Christenson explains why the answer may be yes. Don combines decades of academic psychology with elite golf experience to reveal why intention, attention, and trust are often more important than technical practice.

In this episode: Why golfers with less practice time can sometimes improve faster The hidden power of practicing with intention How to quiet the thinking mind on the golf course Why over-analysis destroys performance The psychology behind playing "in the zone" How attention influences athletic performance Why your intellect always wants to take control Learning to trust a deeper level of intelligence The challenge of keeping golf simple Intrinsic vs extrinsic motivation Why rewards can sometimes reduce motivation The indirect path to success in golf and life The happiness delusion and the pursuit of achievement Falling in love with improvement rather than outcomes How elite performers learn to get out of their own way This is a fascinating conversation for golfers, coaches, sports psychologists, and anyone interested in peak performance, mindset, focus, flow states, and human potential.

Golf Grip Size Explained: The Secret Behind Better Consistency? | John Mazzanoble, CEO of JumboMax Grips #412
Could your golf grip size be the hidden factor affecting your consistency, accuracy, and club speed? In this episode of The Mind Caddie, I sit down with John Mazzanoble, CEO of JumboMax Grips, to explore one of the most overlooked areas of golf performance: grip size. Most golfers spend hours working on their swing mechanics, yet the grip is the only point of contact between you and the club. So why is grip fitting often ignored? John explains the science behind grip size, grip weight, and non-tapered grips, and how these factors can influence shot dispersion, clubface control, swing tension, sequencing, and overall consistency. We also discuss: • Why Bryson DeChambeau chose JumboMax grips • The relationship between grip size and shot dispersion • Whether thicker grips really cause a slice (or if that's a myth) • How grip weight affects club balance and feel • The role of counterbalancing in modern golf equipment • Why most sports use larger, uniform grips while golf remains different • How grip size can affect club speed and tension levels • The benefits of non-tapered golf grips • The importance of proper grip fitting • How the JumboMax app uses AI to help golfers find the right grip size If you're searching for more consistency, better ball striking, and improved golf performance, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about golf grips.
