Welcome back to Stock Shot Secrets! In this episode, host Kyle Morris shines a spotlight on a rarely discussed—but hugely important—factor in your golf game: eye dominance. Most golfers never stop to think about whether they're right or left eye dominant, but as Kyle reveals, this simple detail can have a massive impact on your swing, your short game, and your putting. Kyle breaks down what eye dominance is, helps you figure out which eye is dominant for you, and explains how this shapes everything from your aim off the tee to the way you chip and putt around the green. With real-world examples from tour pros like Jack Nicklaus and Rory McIlroy, you'll learn why right eye dominant players often struggle with aiming right and swinging steep, while left eye dominant golfers naturally swing more shallow.
