Ground Forces and Speed in the Golf Swing with Dr. Scott Lynn

In this episode of the Golf Beneath the Surface podcast, Raymond Prior and Chase Cooper sit down with Dr. Scott Lynn, a biomechanist known for his work in golf and baseball movement research.

The conversation explores how biomechanics can help players and coaches better understand movement efficiency, power production, and how the body actually creates speed in the golf swing. Dr. Lynn explains why deceleration patterns are critical for generating power, how foot flare influences motion and ground forces, and why many golfers misunderstand what elite movement really looks like.

They also discuss the importance of owning your stock swing and why meaningful improvement still requires time on the golf course, not just time on the range.

This episode blends science, coaching, and performance insight to help golfers better understand how the body works in the swing and how that understanding can lead to more effective practice and better performance.
