Justin Rose hits this specific shot often, and he's pretty great at it. He pulls a fairway wood, then makes a tiny little stroke at the ball. The ball then pops out, rolls, and usually ends up pretty close. Or sometimes, even in the hole... It looks like a kind of trick shot. Why is Justin Rose pulling his fairway wood, instead of a wedge like the rest of us? Not because it looks cool, but actually because it's easier.

I didn't realize how bad I was warming up until I studied—I mean, really studied—how pros do it. And the Masters provided the opportunity to do just that. The 2025 Masters marked the first time any tournament tracked and made publicly available every ball every player hit during tournament week. It was a godsend for golf nerds, and you can read the stuff I wrote about it here, here, here, and here.

Golf, for a lot of us, is our primary form of exercise. Our way of getting some steps in, getting our heart pumping and our muscles moving. And just as there are ways to get better at the game of golf, new technologies are emerging to help golfers improve their health along the way.

As golfers, there's nothing more terrifying to us as the yips. The sudden twitch at the moment of impact feels, to those unfortunate enough to suffer from it, like an electric shock. It can send the ball haywire—making a fun game feel rather horrible. It's impossible to play good golf with the yips, and so difficult to overcome that it drives too many of us to quit the game altogether. But those who make it through usually come out the other end sporting a strange new technique.

Think about a batter in the box, or a tennis player getting ready to return a serve. Rarely will you see one standing still, like a statue. They're moving around, subtly swaying or rocking back and forth. You can spot it in some of the best golfers around too. Lee Trevino is the best classic example. Look at how much he's moving and shuffling his feet, right until the moment he starts his golf swing... Ludvig Aberg is perhaps the best modern example...

Strong grip, side bend, forward shaft lean Hall of Famer Ryan Fox is now a PGA Tour winner. This golf swing is so fascinating, what an athlete. https://t.co/l0qsJgvals
Beautiful video of Charles Howell III that we shot towards the end of last season. Two things I notice here… ↙️↘️ Look how both his toes are flared out at setup. Creates some more range of motion so he can turn more on both sides of the ball. 🛑⬅️ Not as much shift to his https://t.co/jq1mr25VMF
