Golfers : Fix Your Strike | StrikeWedge Co-Founder Chris Rose

February 17, 2026·1 hr 18 min·2 clips
The host starts by saying he will not spend long on his own voice. He tees up a later run through the week in golf instead. Pebble Beach comes up first. So does Jacob Bridgman’s long wait with Collin Morikawa standing in the fairway. The moment lands as the kind of thing every golfer dreads on a famous course. There is also a clear dig at Adidas’s advertising. After that, the episode gets into Chris Rose and StrikeWedge. The conversation treats StrikeWedge as more than a basic training aid. It is presented as a tool that could fit into most golfers’ setups. The orange finish gets a full explanation. It was chosen to be visible. Black was considered but did not stand out enough. That choice ties into the way the tool sits in peripheral vision without taking over the swing. The color also works well beside Trackman in the studio. The host says a range full of bright orange wedges makes for a good photo. Rose talks about coaching too. His group coaching work sits inside a subscription model. The episode also brings in Toby, the creative side of the product team. He is described as the nutty professor type. He is the one thinking up new ideas at night while other people are answering emails early in the morning. The contrast between operations and creativity gets played for laughs. The host compares Toby to Dennis Rodman on a team. The back half keeps that easy tone going. It lets the product talk breathe instead of rushing to a tidy takeaway. The episode closes with a longer rant about Dame Laura Davies and a direct ask for comments, likes, and subscriptions.

As heard by us

A loose golf conversation that keeps Strike Wedge grounded in practical detail.

Birdie Golf Club moves quickly from a brief tease into Chris Rose and Strike Wedge, with side trips to Pebble Beach, Jacob Bridgman’s misadventure, Morikawa waiting in the fairway, and a dig at Adidas advertising. That gives the conversation some shape without overworking it.
