Precision, Passion, and the Perfect Roll, Rimac golf

Every day at Imagen Golf, we focus on controlling the controllables in your mind. But what if the biggest variable in your game is the one piece of equipment you use on every single shot?

In this episode, host Daniel Guest sits down with Richard and Booth Platt, the visionary founders of Rimac Golf. We move past the putter face and tackle a fundamental engineering problem in the sport: mass-produced golf ball variance. The Platt brothers introduce their game-changing Rimac Compression Testing Device—a 19-pound precision instrument designed to give golfers accurate, reliable data on every ball in their bag.

Tune in to learn why two seemingly identical golf balls from the same sleeve can perform vastly differently, how measuring compression can instantly validate your swing, and why investing in preparation is the ultimate key to unshakable confidence on the course.

What You'll Learn in This Episode:

  • The Hidden Inconsistency: Why manufacturing variances in premium golf balls could be the real reason your perfect 7-iron came up short.
  • Engineering Precision: A look into the heavy-duty, 19-pound Rimac Compression Tester and how it delivers reliable results without flexing under pressure.
  • Sorting Your Arsenal: The practical strategy of using the device to separate your high-performing "gamers" for tournament play from your practice balls.
  • The Psychology of Certainty: How eliminating equipment doubt frees up your mind, allowing you to accept your shots and play with absolute trust.

The Feeling of Greatness: Decoding the Single Plane Swing with Todd Graves

Tired of wrestling with a complicated golf swing that hurts your back and ruins your scorecard? It’s time to stop grinding on the wrong things and simplify your game.

In this episode of the IMAGEN Golf Podcast, Top 100 Coach Daniel Guest sits down with Todd Graves, co-founder of Graves Golf and the world’s leading authority on the Single Plane Swing. Known as "Little Moe," Todd breaks down the genius behind Moe Norman’s legendary, laser-straight ball-striking and explains why the conventional two-plane swing is failing 90% of amateur golfers.

If you want to remove the guesswork, protect your body, and find "the feeling of greatness" on the course, this is a masterclass you cannot afford to miss.

In this episode, we cover:

  • The Two-Plane Trap: Why the conventional golf swing relies too heavily on split-second timing—and why it’s making you inconsistent.
  • The Moe Norman Secret: How establishing a single plane at address removes vertical lifting and stressful compensations.
  • Saving Your Back: The biomechanics behind why the modern tour swing causes injuries, and how a flexed lead knee and grounded stance can eliminate lower back pain.
  • Reprogramming Your Game: Step-by-step advice on how to actually practice and transition to a Single Plane motion, starting with the absolute importance of the address position.

F-O-R-E Friday - Mind the Gap: Why Your Clubs Are Costing You Strokes

Are you obsessed with your driver distance but totally guessing your yardages from 115 yards out? Welcome to the "dead zone."

This week on an all-new F-O-R-E Minute Friday episode of The IMAGEN Golf Podcast, Top 100 Coach and PXG Staff Pro Daniel Guest tackles the most overlooked, "un-sexy" part of game improvement: Club Gapping. If you have a 20-yard gap between your wedges, or your 5-iron and 4-hybrid travel the exact same distance, you’re basically playing with a 13-club bag—or worse, a bag full of guesswork. Daniel breaks down why modern loft-jacking, redundant fairway woods, and uneven yardage intervals are quietly ruining your scorecard. Plus, he gives you a simple, 4-step weekend audit to fix your bag, dial in your true median carry distances, and start dropping your handicap immediately.

Golf is a game of proximity. You can’t get close if you’re guessing which swing to use. Stop practicing your mistakes and start playing better golf today!

Key Takeaways in this Episode:

  • The "In-Between" Panic: Why trying to "finesse" or "nuke" a club ruins your tempo and leads to fat or thin shots.
  • The Truth About Modern Lofts: How manufacturers are tricking you with stronger lofts, and why it creates massive gaps in your scoring clubs.
  • The 4-Minute Bag Audit: A step-by-step guide to finding your true median carry distances using a launch monitor.
  • When to See a Fitter: How bending your irons just a degree or two can completely transform your approach game.

In this Four Minute Friday mini-episode, host Daniel Guest reveals a simple, zero-swing-change secret to instantly improving your consistency, tightening your dispersion, and stopping the ball faster on the greens. The culprit behind your lost yardage and unexpected fliers might just be sitting in the trunk of your car right now. We dive into the statistical reality of how playing with dirty golf clubs destroys your spin rate and sabotages your scorecard, plus we share the easiest post-round maintenance routine to keep your grooves fresh and your distances predictable.

Key Takeaways

  • The Science of Spin: Learn why clean grooves are essential for creating the friction needed to spin and stop the golf ball on the green.
  • The 50% Drop-Off: Discover the robot-tested data showing how a wedge packed with dirt can lose up to half of its spin rate (dropping from an ideal 8,500 RPMs down to 4,000 RPMs).
  • The Amateur Impact: Find out exactly how dirty clubs lead to unstoppable approach shots, dreaded fliers out of the rough, and maddening distance inconsistency.
  • The 5-Minute Fix: A foolproof on-course towel strategy and post-round cleaning protocol to ensure your clubs perform exactly how they were designed to.

Stop Grinding on the Wrong Things: 3 Real-World Swing Interventions

Are you putting in hours at the range but still not seeing your handicap drop? You’re not alone. This week on The IMAGEN Golf Podcast, Daniel Guest (Top 100 Coach, PXG Staff Pro) reveals why 90% of golfers are wasting their practice time by grinding on the wrong things.

Daniel breaks down three real-world examples from students who recently visited the IMAGEN Golf Performance Center. We explore why obsessing over backswing positions, desperately trying to fix your early extension, and relying on wrist manipulation might be the exact things keeping you stuck in a rut.

In this episode, you’ll learn:

  • The "Perfect Pose" Illusion: Why focusing on a picture-perfect takeaway won't save you if your swing dies at the ball, and how the "Finish Pose Drill" can instantly fix your tempo and power.
  • The Early Extension Trap: Why doing endless chair drills to keep your hips back is useless if your swing path is 6-9 degrees over the top. Discover why your brain forces you to early extend just to make contact, and how fixing your steep swing path first will often make your posture problems disappear naturally.
  • The "Hands and Wrists" Band-Aid: Why trying to fix a slice with split-second timing is impossible, and how connecting your core with the "Belly Button Drill" creates effortless power and a reliable ball flight.

Stop guessing and start knowing. Tune in for no-nonsense advice and functional drills to help you play the best golf of your life this season!
