GolfWell Podcast makes golf improvement research usable by connecting coaching, biomechanics and equipment design to specific choices on the course and practice ground.
GolfWell Podcast turns questions about getting better at golf into detailed conversations about technique, equipment and research. Cordie Walker keeps the interviews practical, pressing guests on how ideas translate into choices a golfer can test.
Cordie Walker gives broomstick putting a full interrogation, if your three-putts have made convention feel negotiable.

A practical case for choosing a second driver over a three-wood or mini-driver.
Golf Well takes up a straightforward golfer's problem: when a second driver is the smarter call than a three-wood or mini-driver. It stays grounded in tee-shot nerves, dispersion, tournament pressure, and the quiet way one club decision can shape the rest of a round.
A practical look at why range work does not always survive the course, and how to bridge that gap.
GolfWell stays centered on a familiar but useful problem: why a swing can look clean on the range or in a lab and still fall apart on the golf course. The host and Dr. Luke Benoit keep the focus on that transfer gap, which gives the episode a steady, practical feel.
Grip pressure becomes a swing sequence, not just a setup number.
It treats grip pressure as more than a setup note, and that idea gives the episode its shape from transition through impact. Built around Liam Mucklow's pressure-sensor work, it moves between high handicappers, slicers, hookers, and pros, using the graphs to make the coaching…
A clean origin story for an armlock putter, with enough setup detail to make the 2013 launch and its appeal easy to follow.
Bettinardi's armlock putter story lands because it starts with a real equipment question: how a niche putting style becomes something a golfer can actually use.
A gear-first look at how LAB sweepers moved from niche curiosity to a tour-driven buying wave.
The episode follows LAB's sweeper putters from tour adoption to real-world demand, with Sam Hahn pointing to Adam Scott and Lucas Glover as the clearest examples of players making the style matter.
A focused look at why shot shape comes down to repeatable face-to-path control.
Dr. Sasho McKenzie treats shot shape as a problem of repeatable mechanics: how a golfer keeps the face-to-path window consistent enough to produce the ball flight they want.
Open week golf chat that stays practical about trip prep, gear, and reading the room.
This Open week golf conversation stays practical, returning again and again to the real-world problem of how to get ready for a golf trip: what to change, what to buy, and what is better left alone before teeing it up with friends.
A technical putting conversation that treats broomstick, arm lock, and putter design as fit questions rather than one-size-fits-all answers.
David Orr comes across as a putting specialist with a clear lane: he has worked with Justin Rose and Hunter Mahan, and he now runs Flat Stick Academy.
GolfWell Podcast's "I Asked a Golf Scientist How to Get Faster… Here’s What He Said" centers on Dr.
Host Cordie Walker interviews Dr.
Sam Bettinardi shares the origin story of Bettinardi's armlock putter, developed for Matt Kuchar in 2013, detailing the prototyping challenges, technical specs like loft and offset, and its market impact.
Cordy Walker talks with Marty Jertson, Ping’s VP of Fitting and Performance, about why a player might carry two drivers instead of a three-wood.
Dr.
GolfWell Podcast's PGA Show 2026 recap focuses on non-hype gear talk with Jake from FullyEquippedGolf.com, who says the show felt like a “decent year” for genuinely new products.
GolfWell Podcast breaks down grip pressure with Liam Mucklow using pressure sensors, motion plates, and Foresight GC Quad data.
Dr.
GolfWell Podcast centers on LAB CEO Sam Hahn explaining how sweeper and long putters moved from niche prototypes to a real tour story through Adam Scott and Lucas Glover.
Elite putting instructor David Orr joins the podcast for a deep-dive into alternative putting styles — specifically the broomstick long putter and arm-lock — as part of an ongoing alternative putting series.
It starts with a familiar problem.
Cordie Walker and guest Nico Derris discuss strategies for The Open Championship and practical tips for amateur golf trips, covering topics like equipment tinkering, practice routines, and golf etiquette debates.
Coach Will opens by reacting to the attention the scoring method has gotten lately.
Marty Jertson joins to talk armlock putting.
GolfWell Podcast asks Minnesota coach Justin Kraft to answer criticism of a prior Golf Well video on the “modern golf swing.” The conversation covers age and athletic limits, with Justin saying a 75-year-old golfer may not copy the extreme version but could still improve from a “90” toward a “70” or “50.” Justin also argues that shallowing should usually be passive if the backswing is built correctly, and he uses the center-of-mass idea to explain why the club can move into position without being forced.
PGA Tour pro Lucas Glover sits down to tell the full story of how he conquered the putting yips by switching to a long putter.
