‘They Never Fixed It’: Jordan Spieth Gets Injury Warning From Veteran Coach Over Familiar Swing Flaw

Veteran instructor Jimmy Ballard has raised serious concerns regarding Jordan Spieth's mechanics during an appearance on the Cart Barn Podcast. According to the coach, the golfer is reverting to the exact technical flaws that contributed to his previous left wrist injury, potentially jeopardizing his athletic comeback.

Ballard specifically criticized Spieth's rotational movements and hip action at the start of his stroke, warning that these persistent habits could lead to further physical setbacks.

Spieth previously underwent surgery in 2024 following a severe tendon incident in his wrist during the RBC Heritage, which forced him to alter his grip prior to returning at the 2025 AT&T Pebble Beach Pro-Am. Analytical data highlights a steady decline in his approach play since his standout 2017 campaign, with metrics dropping significantly in subsequent years including 2024 and 2025.
