How does your body shape impact your golf swing? In this episode of The Golf Intervention, we sit down with Dr. Mike Kay to explore the science behind body types (wide vs. narrow), relative motion, and how they influence speed, efficiency, and overall performance.

He specializes in helping golfers optimize movement, increase speed, and prevent injuries through advanced training methods.
