Ep 460#460: He Holds 125 Patents, Makes Cuts at Majors, and Clocks Out at 5 — Now He's Here to Help You Break Through Your Own Performance Plateau
Marty Jertson isn't your typical golf guest. He's a PING engineer with 125 patents to his name, a co-founder of the Stack System, and a man who makes cuts at major championships, outdrives the man he designs drivers for (Viktor Hovland) — then goes back to work on Monday. In this episode, Marty sits down with Ev to unpack the one concept that will change how you think about your game forever: the cognitive governor. The brain limit that's quietly capping your speed, your confidence, and your performance every single round. Marty uncovers how he went from a failed mini tour pro to working a 9-5 and suddenly making the cut at Bethpage Black in a major championship. If you've ever felt stuck, this is the episode you didn't know you needed.GET FASTERWant to stop obsessing over swing positions and instead improve your sequencing, raise your cruising speed so you can hit the ball longer by swinging lighter?

Ep 459#459: The Real Data Behind Why You're Missing Too Many Greens (Hint: It's Not Your Swing) with Lou Stagner
Lou Stagner is back on the Train for the first time in three years, and he brought the data. Lou, performance coach for Arccos, Princeton Golf and more, breaks down the one stat that predicts lower scores better than anything else: greens in regulation. Hit more of them, you score lower. Miss them, you shoot higher. Every single time. The problem? Everyone tells you to fix your swing. Lou tells you why that's the wrong answer and what the data actually says you should be doing instead.Best GPS and Scorecard App Holding Ev AccountableDownload the Grint app here, follow Evan Singer, and get updates on Ev's round live.

Ep 426#426: The Untold Theory Why Golfers Aren't Getting Better
Ev recently played a round with a better takeaway (less inside), the positions were hitting the marks, and the ball striking was worse than ever. And then Ev had an epiphany—a new theory as to why, when golfers make positive changes in their swing, it never sticks. To unpack and pressure test this theory, Ev asked Keith Bennett, top 100 golf coach and +2 handicap, to hop aboard the podcast for a second time and talk this out. They also do a deep dive on WHY an inside takeaway can be so damaging. If you've ever changed your swing but struggled to get better, and/or fought an inside takeaway, this episode is for you.Ev had been lying to himself for 25 years thinking he needing to spend over $25,000 on a home simulator. Instead, he bought a net and a mat for $250 off amazon with the new Rapsodo MLM2PRO launch monitor for $699 and he's been BLOWN AWAY.
