Ep 244: Why "Just Do This Drill" Is Wasting Your Time

Search "hip mobility golf" on YouTube and you'll find a hundred drills. The problem: if you fail a hip rotation test, there are at least six different underlying causes - from the TFL to the psoas to a bony block that no amount of stretching will fix. Pick a random exercise and you've got a one-in-six shot of picking the right one. In this episode, Chris Finn breaks down the three-layer framework P4S uses to figure out what's actually limiting a golfer's swing: Layer 1: Rotational mobility (hips, shoulders, thoracic spine, neck) Layer 2: Power output - and whether the problem is strength or elastic/reactive ability Layer 3: Swing efficiency (the "Easy 8") - separating physical limitations from intent and skill issues The takeaway: doing something is better than nothing, but doing the right thing matters more. Generic prescriptions - whether it's a mobility drill or a swing fix - skip the diagnostic step that tells you which of several possible causes actually applies to you.
