Pain-Free Golf

Written by Dr. Christian Reichardt with John Klages, Pain-Free Golf is billed as “the golfer’s handbook with easy, proven techniques for playing the game pain-free”. Dr. Reichardt is a chiropractor by trade, a certified yoga instructor, and an advisor for Golf Fitness Magazine. In addition, he lectures for the PGA of America. He claims that “most golfers set up in an anatomically incorrect, biomechanically convoluted posture and then crank on the strength in order to try to overcome this issue. It only leads to injuries and pain!” In addition, one simple thing that nearly every golfer can do to improve their comfort is to “learn to set up in a neutral posture and swing through the ball. Stop trying to “hit” the ball!!” according to Reichardt.

The inroduction makes a few claims about the contents of the text:

1. This book will not teach you a new or better golf swing.

2. It will not interfere with your golf swing or your lessons; in fact, it will enhance what your pro has been trying to teach you and it will help you play better, consistently.

3. If you follow the evaluation and instructions in this book, you will play better golf.

The book is presented in an elementary, easy to read style with clear diagrams. The first 38 pages discusses the dynamics of pain, muscles, and movements with some discussion of equipment and swing mechanics. Next, a self-test to assess your "golf fitness" is included. Complete instructions for taking the test and how to score are clearly spelled out. Readers find their score and then their pain areas and are directed to associated chapters to find stretches and movements to work on their unique needs.

Dr. Reichardt also gives golf lessons in the Los Angeles area that focus on proper stance and form to avoid pain. His goal is to help the golfer play with more comfort and less injury. The message – have fun, "play golf; don’t work golf". Dr. Reichardt’s bio can be found here and he can be contacted here.

J.T. Poston delivers career-changing victory after major gear changes

J.T. Poston required extra holes Sunday to earn a handshake from Jack Nicklaus himself and walk away with the biggest victory of his career.

Poston outlasted Ryan Gerard on the second playoff hole at the Memorial Tournament, and the victory at Jack’s place was aided by two significant gear switches ahead of the tournament in Ohio.

Firstly, Poston swapped from the Titleist Pro V1x to the new Pro V1x Left Dash in his last start at the Charles Schwab Challenge. It’s the ball that made headlines just a month ago, when Jordan Spieth also transitioned into the low-spinning variant at the Cadillac Championship.

Poston’s ball change was spurred by a discussion with Titleist Tour reps about testing some options that could be a little better for him in the wind, after the now four-time PGA Tour winner had gained slightly more speed of late and was feeling like his irons and full wedge shots were overspinning.

Poston spent time testing both the current-generation Pro V1 and the new Left Dash at home the week after the PGA Championship, and at Colonial Country Club, he spent more time dialing things in on the range with J.J. Van Wezenbeeck before deciding to tee up the Left Dash that week. At the time, Poston was 85th in SG: Approach (+0.024); he gained +1.402 at Colonial.

“So we felt like today was going to be a good test of that and it obviously performed really well,” Poston said after a second-round 65 at Muirfield Village which propelled him into the lead. “We had a couple shots that I felt like didn’t quite hit ’em perfect and it hung in there pretty well. So I feel like just having that confidence in that too is big, where I just — we’re trying to hit the smart shot and hit the right shot and just trying to execute and go from there.”

On his way to victory, Poston delivered a dominant performance from tee-to-green and was +8.081 in approach and tied for fourth in greens in regulation.

Poston’s Memorial victory was also the first on Tour for the new torched line of TaylorMade’s 2026 Spider putters. Poston also added the L-Neck Tour X at the Charles Schwab Challenge the week prior, something prompted because “it seems to be working for a lot of the other guys.”

A usually reliable putter, Poston had dropped to as low as 89th on Tour in strokes gained, and when he saw his good friend Denny McCarthy using the Spider, he thought about the change. With the new flatstick in hand, Poston gained close to seven shots on the field at the Memorial and ranked third in SG: Putting for the week.

Poston was the first to agree, though, that neither switch was more important than the other.

“The ball got me there, the putter helped me get it in the hole,” Poston said.
