    Sam Hahn (L.A.B. Golf) on Lie Angle Balance Technology and How it Can Improve Your Putting Stroke

    The folks at L.A.B. Golf believe that most golfers are using putters that aren’t helping them putt better. In fact, they believe that their putter styles are working against them.

    Sam Hahn, the founder of L.A.B. Golf joins #OntheMark to talk with Mark Immelman about the L.A.B. Golf putters and how their Lie Angle Balance technology can help golfers improve their putting strokes and make more putts.

    Hahn introduces the selection of L.A.B. putters and the PGA TOUR player that have changed their putting fortunes by using them. 

    He also talks about:

    • The hallmark of great putting - returning the putter face to “square” at impact, or perpendicular to the target line and how LAB putters make that easier.
    • The research showing that 83% of a putt’s starting direction is influenced by the direction of the putter face at impact.
    • What is Lie Angle Balance Technology and the design of LAB putters with elements like Weighting, Shaft design and angle, Grip alignment and style.
    • The influence of Torque in the putting stroke, and on the putter face, and the elements in the LAB putters that reduce torque for more control.
    • "Torque Hangover" in putting and grip pressure for putter face control.
    • How Lie Angle Balance (L.A.B.) Technology makes it effortless for golfers to deliver a square putter face at impact.
    • How Lie Angle Balance allows a golfer to make a natural stroke with less mechanical effort to keep maintain an accurate Swing Path.

    Improving your putting is the easiest way to lower your scores.  Download and listen as Sam Hahn illustrates how his L.A.B. putters can help you to make better, more consistent, more reliable putting strokes - strokes that will lead to more holed putts.

    Matthew Caldaroni on How to Reinvent Yourself for Better Performance

    Molliteum is already within you; it’s how you got through that tough time in your life when you didn’t think you could. It’s how you made the decision to push yourself when you thought you had nothing left to give. It’s how you became the best version of yourself.

     Some call it grit, others call it mental toughness, but Matt Caldaroni calls it Molliteum.  He joins #OntheMark to explain the concept and how you can become more resilient so you can become the best version of your athletic self.

    Caldaroni discusses:

    • Mindest Coaching for athletes
    • Helping athletes reach their full potential through resilience
    • Developing toughness
    • How GOATS are made - playing mentally free, an inward focus, and embracing setbacks
    • The truth behind why most athletes fail
    • The Kaizen approach, and
    • Repetition, reprogramming of the mind and reinventing yourself

    This podcast is also availabe as a vodcast on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman to view it and learn how to become a GOAT.

     

     

     Molliteum means resilience, and resilience is the extra gear within high performers. It is what separates the average from the iconic/legendary and the “try-er’s” from the “do-er’s.”

    Improve Your Alignment and Your Putting with "On Point" Insights from Briston Peterson

    Briston Peterson is the founder of On Point Golf.  On Point manufactures the revolutionary 3D domed Golf Ball Marker.

    The On Point Marker is designed to improve your Spatial Acuity which in turn leads to improvements in green-reading, aim and alignment, and eventually more holed putts.

    The reason for the success of the marker is that human being are 3D creatures, living in a 3D world, but our eyes can show us only two dimensions.  The On Point 3D Marker bridges that gap and allows a golfer to dial-in his/her focus and intensely concentrate, creating the effect of "tunnel vision" which enhances the golfer's confidence on the greens.

    Briston joins #OntheMark to introduce the marker, illustrate how it works, and dive into the mechanics of how it helps a golfer to improve his/her stereoscopic vision for better alignment and the commensurate marginal gains that promotes.

    He also shares a putting tip from On Point Ambassador, US Open champion Jim Furyk. 

    Other putting improvement concepts include:

    • Improvements in Putting Speed and Lines
    • Charting Marginal Gains for Confidence
    • The Value of Instinct and the "First Impression" in Green Reading, and
    • Reading Greens from a Wide to Narrow perspective and approach.

    This podcast is sure to help you improve your confidence on the greens in order to lower your scores.  Listen to it on audio or watch it on YouTube - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.

    Ben Fowler on the Advancements of AI Driven Golf Instruction and How it can Help You

    Ben Fowler (Masters Degree in Data Sciences) is a PGA Professional who through extensive research realised that, despite the influx of information available, the average handicap of all players has not gone down appreciably.  

    This fact led him to develop PlayIQ, and AI driven system.  PlayIQ employs state-of-the-art computer vision algorithms to scrutinize each frame of a golf swing. By capturing high-resolution video, PlayIQ can precisely analyze critical aspects of the swing.  Elements such as spine angle, knee bend, hip rotation, and club position. The computer vision technology identifies these elements and compares them against ideal swing mechanics, offering targeted feedback on specific strengths and areas for improvement.

    Ben joins #OntheMark to introduce and illustrate how the system works, and how it can help you figure out the exact issues within your technique that are letting you down.

    He describes:

    • What an AI golf lesson involves
    • How the system collects data and information
    • How the system tailors the insights and tips to your specific problems, and
    • How PlayIQ give you a complete Swing Analysis, how it compares your golfswing to other fundamentally sound swings, how it provides recommendations for improvement and how it offers Drills and Exercises to accelerate understanding, feel and improvement.

    His goal with the development of PlayIQ was to make golf instruction more accessible, affordable and helpful and this podcast is sure to help you on your way to getting a golf lesson tailored to your specific needs.  You can also watch the conversation between Mark Immelman and Ben Fowler on YouTube.  Search and subscribe to Mark Immelman.
