If you’re an equipment junkie (or you’ve ever wondered if a fitting is actually worth it), this episode is for you.

Chris Finn sits down with Nick Sherburne, founder and CEO of Club Champion, to break down what most golfers still don’t understand about fitting: it’s not about buying shiny new clubs — it’s about building a data-driven bag that helps you lower your scores.

Nick shares the origin story of Club Champion — from a high school range job at Cog Hill, to a garage hobby with a retired club tinkerer, to a two-store grind, to a single round at Olympia Fields that sparked the blueprint for what became a 150+ location fitting powerhouse.

They get into:

• What a true full bag fitting actually is (and why most golfers misunderstand it)

• Why “I’m not good enough to get fit” is a myth (the ball doesn’t know your handicap)

• How fittings help eliminate your worst misses — not just optimize your best swings

• The real reason your new speed gains can break your driver

• Why stock shafts aren’t “bad”… they’re just built for the masses

• The next frontier: AI-assisted fitting and using on-course data (Arccos-style tracking) to keep your bag optimized over time

If you’ve ever chased distance, fought a big miss, or felt like your clubs don’t match your swing anymore — this episode will change how you think about equipment.

What if aging didn’t mean losing speed?

In this episode of the Golf Fitness Bomb Squad, Chris Finn breaks down the long game of physical development — and why most golfers are playing it wrong. While the average golfer loses up to 10 mph per decade, those who follow the right process lose closer to 2 mph… and often gain 6–10 mph in their first year.

Chris walks through the Performance Pyramid that’s helped golfers in their 70s and 80s swing faster than they did 15 years ago:

• Why rotational mobility is the foundation

• How strength protects speed as elasticity declines

• The relationship between strength, power, and clubhead speed

• Where transfer training blends fitness with instruction

• Why speed training only works if you’ve built the base

If you want to play great golf into your 50s, 60s, 70s and beyond, this episode gives you the framework to build — and maintain — a body that supports your game for the long haul.

Karl Morris (MindFactor) is back on The Golf Fitness Bomb Squad with Chris Finn—this time answering real member questions about pressure, competition, and playing your best when it actually matters.

Whether you’re chasing a club championship, playing in senior events, or just tired of losing $10 and $20 putts on 18, Karl breaks down what’s really happening in your head under pressure: your brain isn’t “failing”… it’s doing its number one job—protecting you. The problem is that survival instincts (fight/flight/freeze) are great for evolution and terrible for golf.

You’ll learn:

• Why nerves don’t mean something’s wrong (and how to use that energy)

• How to calm pressure by accepting the full range of outcomes

• The pre-round question that changes everything: “What have I got today?”

• Why “consistency” is the wrong goal—and adaptability is the real skill

• A simple on-course reset for big moments: WIN = What’s Important Now

• How to stop reacting to one bad shot and start spotting patterns

• A practical way to train the mental game with “two scorecards”

They also talk MindFactor’s training course (including 1:1 calls) and how it’s helped golfers translate mental-game concepts into real, on-course behavior.
