Wed, 7 Apr 2021 - 23min - 24 - Mike Adams: Outliers Don't Exist in Golf
Welcome back to another edition of the Edel Podcast. Today, we have the pleasure of sitting down with my longtime friend, Mike Adams. To this day, Mike continues to mentor both students and teachers. He’s a member of the World Golf Hall of Fame and has worked with the majority of the Top 100 Teachers.
I ask Mike what biomechanics means to him. He says it’s “It’s the study of human movement and how people move in time and space.”
Mike got started in the biomechanics sphere when his wife retained a ski injury. The doctor that performed her surgery, Dr. Steadman, worked alongside Dr. Chuck Dillman who was the biomechanist for the U.S. Olympic Ski Team. “Dr. Dillman and I became friends and started working on projects together.” Through a lot of time and toil, the pair came up with different body types and how they relate to the motion of swinging a golf club.
As time wore on, the pair, with the help of Dr. Ned Armstrong, developed a “testing system to find out what students could and could not do.” This revolutionary process screens players for six things: wingspan vs. height, middle knuckle to elbow, elbow to shoulder socket, right hand grip, external shoulder rotation, and lower body pivoting. The screens “give teachers a blueprint to move forward with their students.”
When Mike describes the Ultimate Golf Lesson, he recounts the first one he did last year with Terry Rowles. The event also featured some of the leading authorities in biomechanics and how their research and findings relate to golf. He used force plates, video, launch monitors, and three-dimensional technology. The premise was that “it’s better to test than guess.”
Mike and I both maintain that it’s vitally important for the teachers of today to take these measurements and properly apply them to their students. Where teachers get into trouble is trying to fit all their students to a single methodology. That’s why these scientifically backed screenings are so valuable.
In order for teachers to continue to improve their craft, and in turn get results for their students, they have to be continually learning instead of repackaging information that already exists.
Mike and his partner Terry Rowles are about to release a new book. It’s based on the two Ultimate Golf Lessons. Their goal is to write the “the most extensive golf instruction book ever written, backed by science.” If you want to become a better instructor, this book is a must read.
Terry and Mike are also hosting a webinar that starts in February. In the webinar, the industry’s best biomechanists and instructors are going to explore all the quantitative information they’ve realized. It’s not meant just for instructors, however. The information is accessible for players of all levels that have a desire to improve their game.
I ask Mike what he wants his legacy to be. His response is that “I contributed to helping people get better.” Pretty simple and modest for one of the game’s greatest teachers.
This podcast is chalked full of game-changing information so be sure to set aside a few minutes and give it a listen.
As always, thanks for taking the time to sit down with us at the workbench on the Edel Podcast. We’ll see you next time.

Thu, 3 Dec 2020 - 36min - 22 - Mike Schy: the REAL reason why you should try single length irons
Today, we’re lucky to be joined by Mike Schy. His coaching philosophy and methods have helped thousands of golfers improve from beginners to Tour Players, including Bryson DeChambeau.
More than anything else, Mike is passionate about helping people. Even more, he thinks outside the box. That’s evidenced by the work he’s done with players like Bryson DeChambeau.
His philosophy on teaching constantly evolves. He’s always seeking out new information and loves to learn. He says, ”the longer I do this the less I know.” Unlike a lot of younger teaching professionals, Mike refuses to put his students in a singular box. It takes time to learn who students are as golfers, and as people.
Concerning Bryson, Mike knew he was different from other players around the age of 12 or 13. “He was smart, had a passion that was unlike anything I’d ever seen…” As a teacher, Mike has learned that great players like Bryson, “have to discover things on their own… It’s my job to help facilitate that.” A great example of that was Bryson’s discovery that playing single-length equipment made the most sense.
Mike has some interesting thoughts about why people are so hesitant to try playing with single-length irons like Bryson. “It’s because of what he does. His golf swing looks funky.” Coupled with the fact that the clubs are so upright, he uses jumbo grips, and wears odd hats, he doesn’t conform to what most everyone else is doing.
Mike thinks that the biggest advantage of single-length irons is that they make the game easier to learn. Because the clubs are the same length and weight, beginners aren’t having the learn a bunch of different swings. For good players, the consistency that single-length clubs afford is undeniable.
When I asked Mike about what club fitting means to him as a Golf Professional, he said fitting clubs is like buying a pair of shoes. Of course, you’re going to try them on before you buy them. Golf clubs are no different. Club fitting is “absolutely essential.”
As for the direction of his instruction in the future, Mike was very candid when he said “I don’t know and that’s probably a good thing…” One he absolutely maintains however, is that “you have to understand the makeup of a player way before you start developing a golf swing.” Even more, he’s working to understand more about biomechanics and the mental side of the game.
Now that he spends so much time out on Tour, Mike learns a lot through observation. “I’m observant. I love watching other teachers and players and learning about what they do… There’s a big difference between being a teacher and a coach.”
Any time I get to spend with Mike is always a treat. I really appreciate him taking time out of his busy schedule to sit down and pass along some of his wisdom to our listeners.

Wed, 17 Jun 2020 - 19min - 5 - How often should I change my putter?
David Edel tackles a few putting questions from podcast listeners and brings light to some design questions.
Question 1 - “how our putter fitting system was developed.”
It all started back in 1996 when David was living in Oregon helping run his family business and started making putters. It was in late 1997 and early 1998 that he started collaborating with Henry Griffits to develop a putter fitting system.
After parting ways with Henry Griffits, David introduced my own putter fitting system with interchangeable hosels, faces, and line templates.
His first client was renowned teacher, Chuck Cook from Barton Creek. Over the next two months, their challenge became understanding how all these pieces of the fitting process worked and how they could communicate the information to clients and fitters in a way they could understand. That was the beginning and we’ve obviously come a long way from there.
Another listener wants to know “How often should I change my putter?”
In David’s experience, most of the best putters never change. They learn how to putt with what they’ve got. In the rare case that they do change, it’s usually because they’re frustrated. When it comes to shape, most golfers are socially conditioned to a certain shape because that’s what they see the best players in the world putting with.
In reality, a lot of people that come to one of our fittings, have a putter shape they like, but don’t aim it correctly. When we get them in the right head shape, lie angle, hosel, etc., they’re often surprised at how much more accurately they aim.
When it comes to switching putters, the general rule of thumb remains, once you find what works, stick with it, know why it works, and understand it.
