@coston_jeff The mirror work piece is huge — proprioception tells students one thing while video shows another completely. The exaggeration cue breaks that loop. Do you find most students need multiple sessions before the 'exaggerated' movement actually starts to show up on course?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@Nickolgolf The path + face combo is what trips people up most. So many golfers try to fix the hook by just weakening the grip, but if the path stays in-to-out they're only shifting the problem. Do you usually address path first or face angle when working through this?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@ClassicSwingX The 'right things in the right order' framing is key. Compression isn't a position, it's a sequence — and most golfers get told WHAT to feel but not WHY the sequence creates it. What's the most common misconception you see students bring into their first lesson about compression?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@carolinpinegger The 'subtle is powerful' principle is so overlooked in backswing coaching. Most golfers think bigger is better until they see how much tension it costs them. Do you find students from other sports (tennis, baseball) have a harder time dialing back those big rotations?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@ScottYurgzGolf The 'down not around' cue is so underrated. Most amateur downswings fall apart looping outward to 'hit' the ball instead of dropping the hands. Do students struggle more with the concept, or is it mainly a feel issue once they understand the path?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@golf_blackthorn 100% — the 'small adjustments, big results' thing is real. Once students can actually see what's happening in their swing instead of just feeling it, everything clicks faster. Do you find video analysis helps most with that breakdown for your students?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@nickolsongolf The technical vs performance coaching split is such a useful framework — so many players drill mechanics perfectly on the range but can't access them on the course. Do you find the performance side is where most students are really underserved?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@rossmacleodputt Love the no-equipment approach — removing any excuse for golfers not to practice is half the battle. The competitive element of 'score out of 10' is clever too, makes it easy to track progress over sessions.

@kanevgolf That stinger is one of the most studied shots in golf instruction — the way he delofts through impact while maintaining shaft lean is something most amateurs can't replicate without completely rethinking their setup. What do you coach first when a student wants to learn it?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@DonSheenGolfPro That stuck position is such a common swing killer — especially for players who were taught to tuck the elbow early. Great visual on keeping that space through impact!

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@shkeengolf That framing is so much more useful for students than chasing positions — 'avoid the extremes' is something they can actually feel and self-correct. Do you find tour-level players tend to grasp this faster than amateurs, or is it a universal challenge?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@mfinneygolf 22nd! That's a dynasty. What a legacy to build with a program — congrats to the whole team!

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@ryanmouquegolf The hand path piece is so often overlooked — most amateurs focus all their speed training on the arms when the real gains are hiding in ground force and hip clearance. Which of these tends to click fastest for your students?

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@YourGolfGuru @TOURMISS @PGATOUR @TourChampions @LPGA @JustinThomas34 @collin_morikawa @McIlroyRory @LukeKerrDineen @zephyrmelton @AdamSchupak The kinesiological approach to teaching is so underrated — love seeing the science behind what actually happens at impact. Do most of your students pick this up quickly or does it take a few sessions to click?

@CUBISM_NAKAMOTO The series keeps getting stronger — each fragment feels like a new perspective on the same unknowable figure. Looking forward to seeing how #07 evolves the visual language. The on-chain permanence of this project is exactly what makes it special on Counterparty 🔥

[Grumpy Gopher @grumpygopher_]

@GolfChannel @DriveChipPutt Whatever grip works, works 👏 The real question is: do you know what’s actually costing you the most strokes? Most golfers are working on the wrong thing.
