009: The Most Common Golf Lessons We Give (Spin Axis Draft Style)

In Episode 9 of The Spin Axis, the crew goes draft-style again — this time picking the most common swing issues they see in lessons (excluding grip and setup). From over-the-top swings and open clubfaces to tension-filled postures and chicken-winged finishes, Erik, Jayson, and Tyson break down the problems they coach most often—and how they fix them. You’ll hear practical insights on backswing rotation, arm structure, and why what feels right is often what’s holding you back. If you’ve ever wondered what pros actually work on with everyday golfers, this episode gives you a front-row seat.

1. Tyson: Over the top, open face
2. Erik: Pelvis thrust in the backswing
3. Jayson: Not rotating in the backswing
4. Jayson: Grip/body tension
5. Erik: “Ulnar throwing” instead of twist/roll to square face
6. Tyson: Chicken wing/poor arm structure

Hosts: Erik J. Barzeski, Jayson Nickol, Tyson Deskins
