Off TRAQ is where we slow down and actually talk about them. Hosted by Charles and Roy, the Off TRAQ Podcast explores the questions golfers genuinely debate — from equipment and swing myths to tour storylines, industry narratives, and the culture of the game. No hot takes for the sake of it. Just honest conversations about the game we all care about. 🎙 New episodes every other Tuesday 🏌️ Presented by TRAQ Golf","last_synced_at":"2026-07-08T02:18:14.468665+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/off-traq-podcast-golf-s-real-conversations-7538422"},"episode":{"title":"Stock Shot vs Shot Shaping: Which Is Better For Your Game?","slug":"stock-shot-vs-shot-shaping-which-is-better-for-your-game","published_at":"2026-02-24T13:00:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/off-traq-podcast-golf-s-real-conversations-7538422/stock-shot-vs-shot-shaping-which-is-better-for-your-game","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/off-traq-podcast-golf-s-real-conversations-7538422","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/traqgolf/episodes/Stock-Shot-vs-Shot-Shaping-Which-Is-Better-For-Your-Game-e3fhbl3","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/10a74a008/podcast/play/115960931/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-24%2F418713147-44100-2-059ddafea4549.mp3","summary":"Should you master one reliable stock shot… or learn to shape it both ways? This week on Off TRAQ, we debate whether golfers are overcomplicating the game by chasing all 9 windows instead of building one predictable pattern. Then we shift gears: Tiger Woods hints at another Masters run — is a 50 year old Tiger good for the game even if he misses the cut? (26:15) Is the PGA Tour finally making structural changes to create more must watch events? (28:30) Is pro shop fashion becoming less traditional and more Instagram driven? (30:45) And in a separate segment, we break down the actual stats required to break 80 — fairways, GIR, putts, penalties, and scrambling percentages. (35:23) If you’re serious about lowering scores or just love debating where golf is headed, this episode covers both.","meta_description":"Should you master one reliable stock shot… or learn to shape it both ways?
