Ep 251: Pain Isn’t the Price of Playing Golf | Myths Golfers Believe, Part 3 of 5 Nov 4, 2026 10:42 Chris continues the myth-busting series with one of the most damaging beliefs in golf: that pain is just part of the game. Low back pain is the number one complaint P4S sees from golfers. Chris explains why the spot that hurts is rarely the spot causing it.

He breaks down what’s actually limiting your mobility: in most cases it’s a neuromuscular or fascial

Ep 249: Lifting Won’t Make You Tight - Training Without a Plan Will | Myths Golfers Believe, Part 1 of 5 Oct 21, 2026 14:37 Chris kicks off a new myth-busting series by taking on the false belief he hears more than any other: that lifting will make you tight. Chris explains why your body restricts range of motion when it isn’t strong enough to support it, and why that loss happens so gradually that most golfers only notice when they see their swing on video. He breaks down the cascade P4S data points to: losing strengt

Ep 245: The 44-Yard Difference: What Speed Training Won't Tell You Sep 23, 2026 9:57 Anyone can gain clubhead speed. Chris Finn says a monkey could do it - swing your driver as hard as you can 10 times each direction and your speed goes up. That's not the hard part. The hard part - the thing most speed training programs skip - is durability. In this episode, Chris breaks down: Why overspeed training (systems like Stack) works, and who it's actually right for The real risk of chas
