Jim McLean on the X-Factor & Golf Swing Myths | Tour Coach

Jim McLean joins Tony Ruggiero to revisit the X-Factor, break down golf swing sequencing, and explain why “keep your head still” can be misleading advice.

In this episode of the Tour Coach Podcast on DewSweeper TV, Jim shares what great ball strikers have in common—and where their swings differ. The conversation covers pressure shifts, the feet-first downswing sequence, grip and setup fundamentals, and swing drills that help recreational golfers feel a better motion.

Jim also shares stories from his book, The Houston Dynasty: Tales from College Golf’s Greatest Team, reflects on the coaches who shaped his teaching, and discusses how technology and mentoring continue to influence golf instruction.
