Check out Jon's new YouTube Channel with Pete's Golf called Golf Gear Explained: https://www.youtube.com/@golfgearexplained Scott Fawcett from DECADE Golf joins us for another wide-ranging conversation, and this one quickly turns into a deep dive on one of golf’s most debated topics: shot shaping. Scott, Adam, and Jon debate what a “double-cross” really means, why most golfers are better served by developing a reliable stock shot, and where shot-shaping practice can still be useful for building clubface and path awareness. We also discuss examples from the Masters, including Rory McIlroy’s driver patterns at Augusta, and why advice that applies to elite players often needs more context before everyday golfers try to copy it. This is Part 1 of our conversation with Scott. In Part 2, we’ll get into how he prepares for tournament golf, the putting and short-game drills he prioritizes, and a more debate on block versus random practice.
