About this episode

Most golfers walk into the gym and guess. Free weights, kettlebells, cables, medicine balls, and strength machines can all help your golf body, but they do not all do the same thing. In this episode, Scott breaks down what each piece of equipment actually offers, where each tool shines, and where each one has limitations. You will learn why equipment that looks "golf-specific" is not always the best choice, why free weights and kettlebells are great for strength but limited for direct rotation, why cables depend on setup, why medicine balls reveal how well your body already moves, and why strength machines may be one of the most underused tools for golfers over 40. The goal is simple: stop choosing equipment because it looks like golf and start choosing the tool that matches what your body actually needs.
