n this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down a question every golfer thinks they've figured out — but most are dead wrong about:
If you've ever wondered how the heck to find a legit golf instructor (and not just some YouTube-taught swing whisperer on the driving range), this is the episode for you.Too many golfers waste years (and thousands of dollars) working with instructors who don't actually change their swing — they just slap a Band-Aid on the shanks and hope for the best. In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down how to find a real swing coach who understands both the art and the science of instruction — including what to look for, what to avoid, and the types of “teachers” that do more harm than good.We unpack the difference between resort triage lessons and true swing transformation, the value of coaches who adapt with tech and data (3D motion, force plates, etc.), and how to spot the red flags — like "method teachers" who teach everyone the same cookie-cutter swing, or social media coaches who have never taught in the real world.You'll walk away with a filter system that makes your search way easier — and ensures you're not jumping teacher to teacher, wasting time and regressing. Because once you find your coach, you commit.✅ Learn what separates top-tier instructors from the fakes ✅ Why 3D motion, force plates, and experience matter ✅ How swing patterns, mobility, and individuality affect coaching ✅ When to commit and stop jumping from teacher to teacher ✅ How to use YouTube strategically to vet coaches in advanceWant to take your swing to the next level? It starts with finding the right guide.

This might be the most important podcast episode we've recorded for competitive golfers—or any player who wants to finally perform when it matters. We're not talking about biceps or glutes here. The most crucial muscle you can train in golf? Your mental grind muscle.Yep, it's a real thing. And in this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf break down exactly how the top 1% of golfers can still score—even when they're swinging like trash.From behind-the-scenes stories of major champions like Tiger Woods, Scotty Scheffler, and David Toms, to raw insight from lessons and coaching tours, we explain why mental toughness and shotmaking under pressure is what separates the elite from everyone else.If you've ever given up after a bad front nine, or if your swing goes AWOL mid-round and you spiral—this episode is for you. This one mental muscle might be the only thing holding you back from that next level.You'll learn:How pros grind out scores without their A-gameThe exact skill to develop when things go sidewaysWhy perfectionism ruins most golfersShot-shaping strategies that save tournament roundsWhat makes a true killer on the course (even without talent)
Golfers everywhere are being taught the wrong concept of where impact happens — and it's destroying swings before they even start. In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb expose the truth that 90% of golf instruction still gets wrong: impact actually happens on the trail side of your body, not the lead side.If you've been grinding on “getting your hands in front of your lead leg,” there's a high chance you've been fighting physics, stalling rotation, and killing your power — all because of a bad address in your mental GPS.They break down:Why the “hands in front” myth persists in lessons worldwide.How pros actually position their hands and hips at impact (with 40+ Tour winners' data to prove it).The illusion on TV that makes impact look lead side… but isn't.Why getting this one concept right can finally unlock your rotation, speed, and consistency.Once you understand this, your entire approach to the golf swing changes — and improvement gets a whole lot easier.If you've been frustrated, plateaued, or even gotten worse after “doing what you were told” — this is the lightbulb moment you've been waiting for.

Making a swing change in golf can feel impossible… but it doesn't have to be. In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down exactly how to make a swing change that actually lasts.Whether you're struggling with consistency, distance, or accuracy, learning how to change your swing the right way is the difference between frustration and breakthrough. Golfers fail at swing changes when they chase quick fixes or random drills. Instead, you need to understand how your body moves, what feels natural, and how to create practice reps that stick under pressure.Inside this episode, we cover:Why most golf swing changes failThe mindset needed for lasting improvementA step‑by‑step approach to building better movementHow to make sure your new swing transfers to the courseThe biggest mistakes golfers make (and how to avoid them)If you've ever asked yourself:Why can't I keep my new swing?How do I know if I'm practicing the right way?What's the fastest path to consistency?…this conversation will give you a clear roadmap to improvement.

If you've ever bladed a pitch across the green or fluffed one from 15 yards out... this is for you.There's one shot in the short game arsenal that can save your round—and most golfers screw it up completely. This podcast breaks down the stock pitch shot—what we call the #2 shot in our Short Game System. It's the most misunderstood, misplayed shot in golf today.We've seen it all. Players tilting back, decelerating, using the wrong setup and wrecking their scores. Even worse—many don't even realize this is a different shot than a chip or a flop.In this podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf simplify it. Step-by-step. From setup to strike. From wrist hinge to release. If you've struggled with touch, feel, or consistency around the greens, this video will help you finally get it—and stop yipping it when it matters most.
Welcome back to another episode of Better Than I Found It, where our guest today is South Carolina Men's Golf Coach, Rob Bradley. Rob began coaching after an All-American career at North Carolina and a seven-year career on the Korn Ferry Tour. Although two years older than Tiger Woods, Rob describes the times he matched up against him both on the junior and collegiate level. As successful as his playing career was, his coaching career has been perhaps even more successful.

Stop wasting your time with speed sticks and air swings. In this episode, we break down the biggest speed training myths and show you what actually works — with real stories, data, and insights from our work with Fast Eddie and tour-level players.Most golfers want to swing faster. But are you training for speed the right way… or sabotaging your swing without realizing it? We dig into why swinging at air doesn't transfer to real-world results — and how it's silently wrecking swings across all skill levels.You'll hear how tour pros like Padraig Harrington and Aldrich Potgieter gain speed while maintaining accuracy, why contact-based training is a must, and how our H.I.I.T.S Driver is changing the game with a safer, smarter way to add yards without injury.If you've ever used a speed stick or wondered why your training hasn't translated to longer drives, this is a must-watch.
Are your hips actually rotating the way elite golfers do?In this video, Mike Granto & Shuan Webb are diving into one of the most misunderstood and underrated parts of the golf swing—internal and external hip rotation. This isn't just about turning — it's about how your knees and pelvis work together to unlock real rotational power.Most golfers (even the decent ones) get this wrong. They rotate everything together like a block of wood... and it kills their speed, power, and consistency. We're going to show you why that's a mistake—and how pros like Rory and Ludvig Åberg are doing it differently.Using years of GEARS data and real swing analysis from thousands of amateurs and pros, we reveal the real reason your hips might be stuck, and how to fix it with just a small shift in how you stretch your pelvis away from your femurs.This video is a must-watch for golfers who want to rotate better, hit it further, and stop sliding all over the place. It's based on biomechanical truth, not Instagram fluff.Mike & Shaun break down:How your lead and trail knees SHOULD move during backswing and downswingThe role of femur stretch vs. lazy hip turnWhy most amateurs are doing the opposite of what pros doA simple check from face-on video to know if you're screwing it upAnd why fixing this will help your swing without endless drills or reps

What separates a good swing from a tour-level one? It's not just club path or face angle—it's how the body moves, especially through impact. And no move is more revealing than what the pelvis does around P9 (trail arm parallel in the follow-through).In this episode, Mike and Shaun from Athletic Motion Golf talk shop from inside the Athletic Motion Golf Club, where top teachers and players share real insights, test theories, and reverse-engineer what the best in the world do. You'll hear how technology like Gears and force plates helps them see exactly where elite players are—and where most amateurs go wrong.They break down how anterior/posterior tilt, side bend, trail leg action, and upper body orientation affect what happens at impact and beyond. They also explain why mobility matters more than raw athleticism, how even great athletes can struggle without the right movement patterns, and what most instructors are missing.It's not about guessing—it's about measuring. If you've ever wondered why some swings just look tour… this episode shows you the difference.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb take on one of golf's most misunderstood instructions: stay down through the swing. While it might sound simple, most golfers are interpreting this cue in ways that hurt their motion, timing, and ball striking.Mike and Shaun break down what's actually happening in the swings of great players—from subtle body lift to neck mobility—and why trying to force your head or body to “stay down” often backfires. They explain:Why trying to "keep your head down" is ruining your rotationWhat the body is really doing through impact (spoiler: it's not staying down)How your head can go down while your body moves upThe connection between poor shallow angles and early extensionWhy a steeper downswing shoulder plane is a good thingIf you've struggled with fat shots, thin shots, or inconsistent chipping, this episode connects the dots on how improper concepts are getting in your way—and gives you the right framework to fix it.Plus, they share a quick awareness drill that has fixed the short game yips for countless golfers.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, hosts Mike Granato and Shaun Webb dive into what they believe is the most misunderstood—and most difficult—part of the golf swing: the transition. Specifically, they explore the “middle part” of the swing, the split-second moment between backswing and downswing that separates pros from amateurs.Most amateur golfers finish their backswing and start everything down at once—hips, arms, and club all move together. In contrast, elite players like Xander Schauffele maintain just enough rotational reserve to create a dynamic, sequenced transition. That stretch and separation allow for more clubhead speed, better face control, and fewer injuries.Mike and Shaun make the case for thinking of the golf swing as a unified “windup” instead of two distinct motions—backswing and downswing. They share lessons from tour pros, insights from motion capture data, and drills like continuous motion swings to help you feel the right stretch and sequencing in your own game.

Welcome back to the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, where Fact Meets Fairway! In this final installment of our Top 10 Most Common Swing Mistakes, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb tackle a major issue that sneaks into so many amateur swings—elbow lagging.Many golfers mistakenly believe that holding their trail arm bend deep into the downswing will create more lag and power. However, this move actually disrupts sequencing, steepens the downswing, and robs players of effortless speed. Mike and Shaun break down the true mechanics of right arm movement, why tour pros actually straighten their trail arm as they transition, and how misconceptions about "holding lag" lead to major swing faults.You'll also hear insights from some of the world's top coaches, including Scott Hamilton, and why understanding how the trail arm moves correctly can instantly improve your ball striking.Looking for expert feedback on your swing?
