Golf’s Biggest Swing Trends (One Broke My Swing)

Golf instruction has never been more accessible, but has it actually made golfers better?

Charles and Roy break down golf’s biggest swing trends, including the one plane swing, Stack and Tilt, Sean Foley’s controversial years with Tiger Woods, George Gankas and the shallowing craze, and the modern “hold and turn” release.

Which ideas can actually help amateurs, which require very specific physical matchups, and how does combining random YouTube tips create a Frankenstein swing that is worse than the one you started with?

Plus, we react to the Good Good and Callaway ad controversy, debate whether Grant Horvat’s $200 toddler golf clubs are worth it, and discuss TaylorMade moving to a two year driver release cycle.

Follow Off TRAQ for honest golf conversations, questionable swing advice, and a little chaos along the way.
