Could your golf grip size be the hidden factor affecting your consistency, accuracy, and club speed?

In this episode of The Mind Caddie, I sit down with John Mazzanoble, CEO of JumboMax Grips, to explore one of the most overlooked areas of golf performance: grip size.

Most golfers spend hours working on their swing mechanics, yet the grip is the only point of contact between you and the club. So why is grip fitting often ignored?

John explains the science behind grip size, grip weight, and non-tapered grips, and how these factors can influence shot dispersion, clubface control, swing tension, sequencing, and overall consistency.

We also discuss:

• Why Bryson DeChambeau chose JumboMax grips
• The relationship between grip size and shot dispersion
• Whether thicker grips really cause a slice (or if that's a myth)
• How grip weight affects club balance and feel
• The role of counterbalancing in modern golf equipment
• Why most sports use larger, uniform grips while golf remains different
• How grip size can affect club speed and tension levels
• The benefits of non-tapered golf grips
• The importance of proper grip fitting
• How the JumboMax app uses AI to help golfers find the right grip size

If you're searching for more consistency, better ball striking, and improved golf performance, this conversation may challenge everything you thought you knew about golf grips.

What if the biggest breakthrough in your golf game had nothing to do with your swing?

In this fascinating conversation, former PGA Tour winner Richard Zokol shares the mindset shifts that helped him compete at the highest level — and why reducing emotional attachment to outcome could completely change your relationship with golf.

Richard, author of Zokology – Change Your Perspective, Not Your Swing, opens up about tour life, mental performance, process thinking and learning to quiet a noisy mind. Nicknamed "Disco Dick" for listening to music on a Sony Walkman between shots, Richard developed unconventional ways to stay calm, creative and competitive under pressure.

We explore:

• Why process matters more than results
• How emotional detachment can improve performance
• The difference between logical and spatial thinking in golf
• Why understanding your personality type matters
• Using music to quiet mental noise on the course
• The lost art of wedge play
• How to score your mental game
• Why technical coaching doesn't work the same for everyone
• Stories from the PGA Tour and Brigham Young University alongside Bobby Clampett
• Lessons passed down from his father and a lifetime in the game

Richard recorded 20 Top-10 finishes on the PGA Tour, including two victories, but this episode goes far deeper than tournament golf. It's a masterclass in mindset, perspective and learning to enjoy the game more.

A brilliant conversation with one of golf's deepest thinkers.

Today on the Mind Caddie, I'm joined by the hosts of the hugely popular golf podcast How Low Can You Go? — David Alexander and Chris Donaldson.

I first met David and Chris at the Mind Caddie seminar at Murrayfield Golf Club, hosted by Jonnie Cliff, and it was immediately clear these two golfers were on a journey.

Like so many club golfers, they simply wanted to answer one question:

How good can I actually become?

That commitment to improvement, curiosity, and honest self-reflection became the foundation of their now fast-growing podcast How Low Can You Go?

They previously invited me onto their show, so it was great to return the favour and dive deeper into the realities of golf improvement, performance psychology, expectations, and resilience.

This episode will resonate with every golfer trying to lower their handicap, manage frustration on the course, and enjoy the process of getting better.

In this conversation we discuss:

• Why the real prize in golf is often the journey, not the score
• Managing expectations and avoiding the comparison trap
• Why you must learn to trust and research your own experience
• Golf as a powerful tool for character building and personal growth
• The "1-2-3 System" for handling poor shots and difficult outcomes
• How Dave rebuilt his confidence after hitting rock bottom
• The emotional ups and downs every amateur golfer experiences
• Mindset strategies for club golfers wanting long-term improvement

This is a warm, honest, funny and insightful discussion with two passionate golfers whose story many of you will instantly relate to.

If you enjoy conversations around golf psychology, golf improvement, mental performance, and the realities of amateur golf, this episode is for you.
