Pivot The Path

This week on Pivot The Path, we take you through the 8 essential powerful pre-shot routines — building from the introduction last week — and show you how they can steady your game, sharpen your mind, and take your performance to the next level.

From intention to alignment, breathing to visualization, tempo to commitment, we explore the routines that help golfers quiet the noise, build consistency, and step into every shot with confidence. If you’ve ever wondered what separates a scattered round from a steady one, this is your framework.

Whether you’re a competitive player, a weekend...

Ever feel like you’re close to breaking 75, but can’t quite put all the pieces together?

In this episode, Scott reveals the five non-negotiable elements that separate hopeful ball-strikers from consistent scorers: a reliable pre-shot routine, precise alignment, equipment understanding, the ability to shape the ball both ways, and intentional practice. These aren’t just skills — they are the foundation of learning your tendencies, refining your patterns, and ultimately developing the clarity and control required to perform with ownership and confidence.

When you build a repeatable routine, you gain control under pressure. When your alignmen...

From Olympic rower to new golfer, Nareg Guregian knows what it means to chase mastery.

In this milestone 100th episode of Pivot The Path, we explore the transition from rowing to golf — the rhythm, the mechanics, and how elite athletes approach learning something entirely new.

Whether you’re an Olympian or an everyday player, this conversation is about movement, mindset and the power of starting again. Nareg takes us through his incredible journey — from the early days of rowing to standing on the world’s biggest stage, to defeating cancer, and now embracing a whole new chal...

This week on Pivot The Path, we circle back to where it all begins — the body. We know the body holds the club, the club hits the ball and so it makes sense to us to start at the beginning. Building on recent episodes about efficiency, connection and athletic preparation, Scott discusses the four movement pillars that create a consistent, powerful golf swing.

Just like the athletes we’ve highlighted — from Jason Kelce’s stability and control in the NFL to the lower-body power and rotational sequence driving baseball’s World Series hitters — elite performance...

In this week’s episode, Scott takes a deep dive into what it really means to build a golf swing you can trust — one that’s reliable, efficient and uniquely your own.

Drawing on listener input and questions, he unpacks how different approaches to learning and improving can be both refreshing and revealing. The discussion explores the “why” behind SSWING’s vision — a truly holistic view of golf that connects the dots between movement, mechanics, mindset, and math.

At SSWING, every element works together. When you understand how the pieces fit, you don’t just play better — yo...

What are the parallels between an NFL player and your average golfer? More than you might think. Recently, NFL legend Jason Kelce asked himself a simple question: Could I still complete an NFL workout now that I’m retired? The result was a humbling reminder that even elite athletes lose strength, speed and capability if they stop training for the demands of their sport.

And the truth is, the same principle applies to you and your golf game. If you want to generate rotational power, control the clubface, maintain mobility and swing consistently, you have to train th...

In this episode, we dive into one of the most important — yet often misunderstood — parts of the game: face strike. From swing path and lie angle to shaft flex, weight distribution and even how your body moves through impact, every small detail plays a role in how the club face meets the ball. And here’s the truth — there’s no single “magic fix.” Great ball control isn’t about one swing thought or one equipment tweak; it’s about understanding how all these elements work together to create consistent, predictable results.

The key is always to fix the root probl...

In this episode, we unpack one of the most important skills in golf: ball control. Mastering your ball flight isn’t about perfection—it’s about setting realistic goals, managing expectations and learning how to practice with purpose. Good process leads to good scoring, and with the help of camera-based simulators, you can see, adjust and refine in real time. This is where golfers learn not just to hit shots, but to Own Your SSWING—taking control, trusting the work and building confidence one session at a time.

Scott shares practical insights on how smarter practice—not endless re...

This week’s episode dives into the Ryder Cup at Bethpage Black—a stage where pride, teamwork, and resilience shine brighter than individual glory. The drama, the pressure, and the unity on display felt reminiscent of the ANZAC spirit: mateship, courage, endurance, and sacrifice for the greater collective. Just as ANZAC embodies the power of individuals coming together for something bigger than themselves, the Ryder Cup shows golf at its most communal, where every shot isn’t just for the player, but for the team, the country, and the history books. 

And perhaps no moment captured that spirit...

In this week’s episode, we dig into one of the most important questions for any golfer: what truly measures improvement? Data is the foundation of progress, and training indoors is essential for uncovering the core of your improvement journey. Camera-measured feedback remains the gold standard—giving golfers the ability to track consistency, ball flight control, and the real indicators that your game is moving forward. We also break down the standout performances from fall golf’s biggest stages this past weekend.

At SSWING, we rely on Uneekor’s ceiling-mounted camera system for unmatched precision - face angle an...
