  • 80: Dr Luke Benoit How To Fix Early Extension Using Motor Learning
    Oct 14 2024

    In this episode of the Fairway Performance Podcast, Shaun welcomes back Dr. Luke Benoit, founder of RypGolf, to discuss the evolution of golf training, particularly the efficiency of online instruction.

    Luke shares insights on motor learning, the challenges of early extension in golf swings, and how physical limitations can impact swing mechanics. He emphasises the importance of retraining swing patterns and offers practical advice for golfers looking to improve their technique.

    In this conversation, Luke discusses the intricacies of golf training, focusing on the importance of ground force mechanics, the balance between speed and accuracy, and the significance of deliberate practice.

    He also talks about the need for golfers to understand their body mechanics and the role of both internal and external cues in improving their swing. The discussion also highlights the challenge zone concept, where effective training occurs at the edge of a golfer's current abilities, leading to long-term improvement.
