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.

Episode Overview In this episode of The ModGolf Podcast, host Colin Weston welcomes Cory Powell, co-founder and CEO of Hubble.GOLF. They discuss Cory's journey in golf, his entrepreneurial spirit, and the innovative platform Hubble.GOLF aims to create for golfers, their families and event organizers. Key Highlights Introduction to Hubble Golf Cory describes Hubble Golf as the "Expedia for golf events," aiming to be the largest searchable database for all things golf, including junior, amateur, and professional events. Cory's First Golf Experience Cory shares a heartfelt story about how his grandfather introduced him to golf at the age of eight, gifting him a set of junior clubs and taking him to a local driving range. The Entrepreneurial Journey From starting a pooper scooper service at eight years old to organizing tournaments and playing professionally, Cory's entrepreneurial spirit has been evident throughout his life. The AHA Moment for Hubble.GOLF Cory discusses the challenges he faced while trying to find golf events and how this led to the idea for Hubble.GOLF. He emphasizes the importance of collaboration and co-founding with Kevin Lewis, who brought technical expertise to the project. Market Research and Customer Validation Cory explains how he gathered feedback from golfers and parents to validate the need for Hubble.GOLF, including surveys that indicated a willingness to pay for the service. Mentorship and Personal Growth The importance of mentorship is highlighted as Cory shares his relationship with Jim Casino, who has provided guidance and support throughout his entrepreneurial journey. Risk-Taking in Entrepreneurship Cory reflects on his approach to risk-taking, emphasizing the need for passion, perseverance, and the ability to pivot when necessary. Cory Powell's journey is a testament to the power of passion, perseverance, and community in the world of golf and entrepreneurship. Listen in to discover his vision for Hubble.GOLF and the future of golf events. "Hubble.GOLF is the Expedia of golf events. So everything from junior golf, youth, amateur college, professional, charity, networking, green grass, non-green grass, we will be the largest searchable event database for all things golf. And the idea stemmed from my background trying to find events and figure out a schedule and put together an itinerary and what's the budget around that itinerary and how do I share that itinerary with other people? And that's what we've created." https://media24.fireside.fm/file/fireside-uploads-2024/images/1/1ea879c1-a4a2-4e10-bea4-e5d8368a3c7a/aLutd90o.jpg "On average a parent spends over four hours planning one individual event and a junior golfer participates anywhere between 12 and 18 events in a season. We save parents day's worth of time figuring out their child's season and ultimately save them money on their travel costs." "If you truly are passionate about what you do, you wake up every day invigorated and excited to get to work, to chase it, put in the work. It's not easy. You have to be disciplined. You have to be willing to do it. My grandpa always used to say, "you have to be willing to pay the price and do what others aren't willing to do." And that's long hours and hard work."

Could a good lie around the green actually be dangerous? On the final episode of Lie Detector, Drew Powell and LKD identify when the ball sitting up in the rough could actually be a bad thing.
We hear it on TV every week: the dreaded flier lie. But what exactly is it? And how can you identify it and plan for it? On this episode of Lie Detector, Drew Powell and LKD explain just that.
Dana Dahlquist is a Golf Magazine Top 100 Teacher and a Golf Digest Top 50 Golf Instructor. Recognized as one of the best on the Professional Golf, Dana's goal is to help players create swings that are functional and repeatable under pressure, not just swings that look good on camera on the driving range. Originally trained with a background in mechanics (MORAD specifically), his teaching has evolved to understand the forces players must apply to create the matchups needed in their swing. Dana also works with Bryson DeChambeau and joins #OntheMark to set up the US Open and help you get a better understanding of how to build a dynamically stable and repeatable golf swing. He takes a deep dive into technique as he discusses elements that a lot of golfers misundestand: Hitting Down in Contrast to Presenting Better Dynamic Loft for better Strikes and more Power How to effectively Make Changes for Consistency when embarking on Game Improvement Measures, and Managing Expectations and Setting Positive Timelines for Improvement. As he elaborates on these important topics Dana talks about Ben Hogan, Mac O'Grady, Lee Trevino and Bryson DeChambeau. He also talks about game improvement's "Heirarchy of Needs" and how hitting the shot that is needed is better than hitting a good shot - as he uses Jack Nicklaus, Tiger Woods and Scottie Scheffler as examples.

Golf Galaxy Director of Golf Experience and master fitter Chris Marchini returns to the pod to field listeners' questions on all things golf clubs, with Uncle Gene's help, of course.
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.
Bad lies around the green are magnified because they often feel more consequential than bad lies just off the fairway. But the fact is, they count the same and the way to identify them and get your ball out of them is largely the same as well. LKD and Drew Powell are here to help.
We all end up in bad lies. Getting out of them without making it worse is key to lowering your scores. In this mini series, LKD and Drew Powell discuss different types of bad lies, how to identify them and how to best get out of them.
"And who do we love? We love you, Colin. We love the 18 handicapper. That's amazing for us because if we get an 18 handicap, a newer youth playing, or we get a woman who is learning golf, their improvement rate is so dramatic. If we can make them more intelligent out there, if we give them a complete view of the course and they're standing on the tee box and they can see the elevation changes they can visualize their shots and we help them read their putts. That was a huge piece because most people don't know how to read greens."

Do we love the really good scratch golfers in the plus? Of course, but there's just not many of them." "If you make better choices, maybe you don't get that double or triple bogey.

We've all been there. Should you give that three footer? Should you not? Should your opponent really be making you putt this? On this episode of Golf IQ, LKD and Sam Weinman explore the ins and outs of giving putts.
We just watched Scottie Scheffler win (again) without his A-game. But even though he wasn't in full control, he still knew the shape his stock shots would have, a factor Top 50 teacher John Dunigan says is vital to playing better golf.
Dan Landman is the founder of Spoiler Golf and the inventor of the Spoiler OG Putter. The idea for Spoiler Golf came from putting with a wedge and, by extension, learning how pure the ball rolled from the leading edge of a Wedge vs the traditional “flat face” of a putter. Dan and Spoiler Golf believe a better roll of the golf ball unlocks a better putting experience, and so they set out to change the face of putting for everybody. Dan's suspicion of a purer roll of the ball coming off the leading edge of a club vs the face of a putter was confirmed with research measuring the skid and roll of golf ball. He and his engineer/designer doubled down on their efforts and built a number of "Leading Edge" putters. Eventually after much trial and error they settled on the Spoiler OG - a putter where form truly met function. Dan explains the Leading Edge technology as he introduces the Spoiler Putter. He also addresses: The importance of putting and the role it plays in lowering scores How the Leading Edge technology works How Leading Edge technology enhances focus and concentration on the process of excecution on the greens Impact location for success in distance control and accuracy Mitigating the yips with Leading Edge technology, and How the Spoiler gives instant feedback for quicker, more purpose-driven learning. This podcast is also available as a vodcast - search and subscribe to Mark Immelman on his YouTube channel to watch and learn.
The secret to getting off the tee more like the pros is not "swing hard" or "swing soft," but actually to swing with the same effort all the time. LKD dives into the one small change to make that will improve distance control and accuracy and help you keep your ball in play more often.
Chuck Quinton is a respected golf instructor and the founder of "The Rotary Swing" golf swing learning system - a system that is based on human anatomy, physics, golf swing mechanics and how the brain learns new motor movement patterns. Chuck operates the Rotary Swing Academy in Orlando Florida, is active on YouTube and has also authored three golf instruction books. He joins Mark Immelman to discuss his Rotary Swing approach to instruction and also share his GOAT Code to striking the golf ball more powerfully and consistently. The GOAT Code is based off Quinton's exhaustive research on Tiger Woods' golf swing and what it feels like to swing like Tiger Woods. As Quinton dives into the approach to better Woods-like golf swings he talks about 4 elements - Consistency, Control, Compression and Confidence. He also elaborates on the following game improvement topics: The big picture golf swing idea for better ballstriking Efficient power production The "Goat" delivery position Learning good clubface control with the trail-hand Golf and Baseball swing similarities Repetition for long-term success, and A Balance Drill for productive golf-swing practice. Chuck also demonstrates a number of swing positions and moves so it is worthwhile to watch this podcast on YouTube once you have listened to it.

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.
