The H.I.P.S. Myth: Spin To Win, Think Again

The H.I.P.S. Myth: Spin To Win, Think Again

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 8   The Hips Myth: Spin to Win? Think Again. In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri takes on one of the most aggressively taught ideas in modern golf — “clear the hips” and “spin to win.” Golfers are told that more hip speed equals more power. So they spin harder. They fire faster. They try to create speed from the ground up. And then the timing collapses. Because when the hips outrun structure, the club gets stranded — and the hands are forced to rescue the swing. In this episode, we break down: • Why aggressive hip spinning often destroys sequence   • How “clear the hips” became a misunderstood instruction   • The difference between athletic movement and forced rotation   • Why over-rotation leads to blocks, flips, and weak contact   • How LeverGolf organizes movement without spinning out   If you’ve ever felt like you’re firing everything and still losing control… this episode explains why. Power isn’t about spinning harder.   It’s about moving in order. Visit LeverGolf.com to learn more about the LeverGolf technique and training system.

The P./R.O.O.F. Myth: One Good Round Doesn’t Mean You’Ve Found

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 7   The Proof Myth: One Good Round Doesn’t Mean You’ve Found In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri dismantles one of the most dangerous lies in golf improvement — the idea that one good round is proof you’ve “figured it out.” You flush it. You score well. You think you’ve found the move. Then the next round comes… and it’s gone. That wasn’t proof.   That was timing. In this episode, we break down: • Why one great round is often a temporary alignment of compensations   • How the traditional swing model can produce flashes of brilliance — without stability   • The difference between repeatability and coincidence   • Why golfers get trapped chasing the feeling from “that one round”   • What real proof actually looks like in a structured technique   If your improvement comes in spikes instead of patterns, you don’t have proof — you have volatility. Real proof isn’t emotional.   It’s repeatable. Visit LeverGolf.com to learn more about the LeverGolf technique and training system. Learn in a day.   Master in a year.   Play for a lifetime.

The L.O.Y.A.L.T.Y. Myth: Stop Staying, Start Playing

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 6   The Loyalty Myth: Stop Staying, Start Playing In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri takes on something golfers don’t like to admit — loyalty to a swing that isn’t loyal to them. Golfers stay committed to the traditional swing model for years. They defend it. They justify it. They blame themselves when it doesn’t work. They don’t leave because they think the problem is them. But what if the relationship was flawed from the beginning? In this episode, we break down: • Why golfers stay loyal to instruction that keeps them stuck   • How frustration gets misinterpreted as “I need more practice”   • The emotional attachment to a model that demands constant correction   • Why switching feels scary — even when staying hurts   • What it really means to choose structure over struggle   If your swing has you apologizing for bad shots… working harder… promising you’ll “figure it out next time”… that’s not commitment. That’s staying in a bad relationship. At some point, you have to stop staying and start playing. Visit LeverGolf.com to learn more about the LeverGolf technique and training system.

The Distance Myth: More Greed For Speed

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 5   The Distance Myth: More Greed for Speed In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri tackles one of the most seductive beliefs in modern golf — the idea that more speed automatically means more distance. Golfers are constantly told to rotate harder, swing faster, and “generate more power.” But chasing speed without structure creates tension, timing problems, and inconsistent contact. And inconsistent contact destroys real distance. In this episode, we break down: • Why swinging harder often produces shorter, less reliable shots   • How the traditional model confuses speed with efficiency   • The difference between brute force and organized sequencing   • Why tension kills both speed and control   • How LeverGolf produces effortless power without forcing it   If you’ve ever felt like the harder you try, the worse it gets… this is why. Real distance doesn’t come from greed.   It comes from structure. Visit LeverGolf.com to learn more about the LeverGolf technique and training system.

The G.R.I.P. Myth: Fix The Grip,Fix The Trip

Inside LeverGolf – Episode 4   Grip Myth: Fix the Grip, Fix the Trip In this episode of Inside LeverGolf, Jim Ferreri takes on one of the biggest traps in golf instruction: the idea that your grip is the magic fix. Most golfers are told, “Just strengthen it,” or “Just weaken it,” as if a tiny adjustment in the hands can rescue a swing that’s already built on a flawed traditional model. But when the swing is unstable, grip changes don’t solve the problem — they just create different misses. In this episode, we break down: • Why grip tips are often a band-aid, not a solution   • How constant grip tinkering creates confusion, tension, and inconsistency   • What the grip is actually supposed to do — and what it can’t do   • Why your “fix” works for a day… then disappears   • How LeverGolf creates structure first, so the grip becomes simple and repeatable   If you’ve been stuck in the loop of re-gripping, re-gripping, and re-gripping… this episode will show you why.
