What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Jon and Adam have changed how I look at my game and fundamentally remodeled how I look at Golf mentally. My technical focus and on course practical focus have become sharper through listening to this podcast. If you are serious about the game and want to get below the surface on everything from how to swing the club to how to plan your round, get into this!

Amfetamyne · May 2026

I have been using some of the practice techniques the guys describe. I have particularly been using the foot spray to figure out my face strike tendencies. I very quickly figured out I was striking the toe a high percentage of the time. This led me to experiment with my set up to hit the center more often without changing my swing. Now I am striking the center 1/3 of the face fairly consistently across my woods/hybrid/irons and wedges. I’m still working on the driver set up but I’m getting closer with each session. Thank you Adam and Jon!!

WhiteRoomSkis · Apr 2026

I have listened to this podcast for years now. I have appreciated the content that Jon and Adam have brought to the golf world and I’ve benefited tremendously from their insights. Lately however, I have become slightly annoyed by Adam’s tangents - and as someone who checks himself on this same point - most of the time, Adam starts a sentence by saying “I” or “for me” or some other form of talking about himself. I’m not saying there is no room for that it’s just everything comes back to discussing how HE sees things or how the topic applies to him. Also, generally speaking sometimes the rabbit trails are unhelpful because they missing the big E on the eye chart for the topic at hand. Again, I also struggle with these things myself and no one is perfect, it just a detracts sometimes to the point that I decide to switch to another podcast.

Rdubbbs · Jun 2025

Adam and John have put together an amazing amount of relevant content on all things golf. In addition to some great swing fundamentals, on all shots, they have solid advice on how to structure practices, tournament play, you name it. They dispel all of the common myths and provide realistic expectations for what you should be able to accomplish. I highly recommend this podcast!
