You can take a lesson from the best coach in the world and still waste your money. Not because the instruction is bad. Because of how you take the lesson!Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion golf break down the player's side of the equation... the part almost nobody talks about. How to show up, what information to give your coach, why racing through a bucket of balls ruins everything, why you have to ignore your feels and the strike when you're making a mechanical change, and why every real swing change takes months, not one range session.This is the mindset and the method that separates golfers who get max value out of a lesson from golfers who walk away frustrated and no better.

The follow-up to the Bad Swing Advice Hall of Fame is finally here. After the first podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb were flooded the comments with one reques... do the BEST swing advice version. So Shaun and Mike sat down and inducted the cues they use to fix more amateur swings than anything else.The first inductee alone fixes 999 out of 1000 golfers. The trail arm has to lift and stay wide in the backswing. Almost every amateur lowers it. Almost every tour player lifts it. It's the single most common move that separates the buckets.They also induct Scott Hamilton's "on plane early" cue, the recentering concept that AMG named years ago, the Lazy Susan downswing, the "no hip turn in the backswing" foundation (with a nod to Dr. Kwon's "turn shoulders, tilt hips"), and the driver tip that finally lines up the clubface without forcing shaft lean.These are the cues AMG uses to coach players off the hamster wheel and into real ball striking improvement.

You can get 500 golf lessons a day on Instagram. That's the problem.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down what they call the "golf swing hamster wheel" — the trap most amateur golfers are stuck in. Try a tip. Bail after one bad shot. Try the next tip. Spend years working hard and going nowhere.This episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast is the framework AMG uses to coach players off the hamster wheel for good. The five-step system covers what to look for in an online coach, why most ground force teaching is guessing, the Tony Rogerio 3x5 card rule for real improvement, Jack Nicklaus on why a swing change has to feel weird, and how to use Swing System 2.0 and the Swing Coach app to build a blueprint you don't have to rebuild every six months.What you'll learn:The first question to ask any online coach. "Do you measure?"Why ground force teaching without force plates is mostly guessingThe parking lot analogy that explains why most amateurs never improveThe Tony Rogerio 3x5 note card rule. Three things for a full yearThe Jack Nicklaus answer for "why does this feel weird?"Why feel is the least reliable source of feedback in the golf swingHow to calibrate today's feel against tomorrow's drift

99% of golfers are lowering their trail arm in the backswing. Tour players lift it. This single move is the difference between a swing with power and a swing stuck in a plateau.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break it all down on today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast...the trail arm lift epidemic. Why decades of "don't lift your arms" instruction, the Hogan rope image, and the towel-under-arms drill have created an army of golfers fighting their own swing. Backed by 20,000+ swings in the AMG GEARS database and over $2 billion in tour earnings worth of swing data.What you'll learn:- The 5 to 15 degree window every tour player lives in- Why amateurs lower the arm in the same window pros lift it- How the wrong arm position destroys rotation, lag, shallowing, and shaft lean- Why down the line video lies to you and face on tells the truth- The two backswing fixes that have made players better overnight- What "the hoist" is and why your takeaway might be faking it

Why do we measure every golf swing in 3D? Mike Granato and Shaun Webb sit down on the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast to answer the one question they'd never been asked before and the answer goes way deeper than "why guess when you can measure."In this episode, Mike and Shaun break down the difference between perception and perspective in the golf swing, why most golfers (and even most coaches) are stuck on the "hamster wheel" of conflicting advice, and how camera angle and lens choice can make the same exact swing look like three completely different golfers.

Most amateur golfers struggle to improve their game… not because of talent, but because of how they practice golf.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down the BIGGEST mindset differences between amateur golfers and professional golfers, including PGA Tour players, and why most golfers stay stuck at the same handicap for years.If you've ever wondered why you're not getting better at golf despite spending hours at the range, this is the wake-up call you need.We cover:- Why “beating balls” doesn't improve your golf swing- How pros actually practice (and why it works)- The biggest mistakes amateurs make when trying to get better- Why chasing swing feels and quick fixes keeps you stuck- The importance of structured golf practice and feedbackThis is NOT about swing mechanics… it's about golf mindset, practice strategy, and improvement systems.If you're serious about lowering your handicap, breaking 90, 80, or even getting to scratch… you need to start thinking like a pro.Because the truth is simple:

If you want more clubhead speed, more distance, and a golf swing that actually feels effortless… you NEED to understand this.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb sit down with former Navy SEAL turned performance expert Dr. Joe LaCaze, who breaks down the exact system elite athletes use to unlock fast twitch muscle fibers, increase clubhead speed, and eliminate injury.They discuss golf performance, fast twitch training, fascia hydration, and why your brain is literally stopping you from swinging faster.

James Leitz...Golf Digest Top 100 Instructor, Top 100 Club Fitter, and one of the game's earliest adopters of 3D motion capture and force plate technology, joins Mike Granato and Shaun Webb on the Athletic Motion Podcast to break down the framework he calls the "3 Grapes."In this episode, James walks through how the upper torso, pelvis, and center of mass move in the golf swing, why staying still is actually hurting your speed, and what separates a 99 mph Rory McIlroy from a long drive competitor. He also shares the story of how a single phrase from an aeronautical engineer in 1982 — "never guess what you can measure" — shaped an entire career.Topics covered:→ What the 3 Grapes are and how to trace them in GEARS→ Why deceleration in the downswing isn't always bad (and who got it wrong)→ The boat analogy, the jack knife, and how ground force really works→ How James used Kelly Gibson to map club delivery across 9 shot shapes→ Why throwers and laggers need completely different grape positions→ The mental/physical link — what happens to your swing when you get nervous→ D-Plane origins, TrackMan history, and measuring since 1982
Can a niche hobby become a viable retail concept?The golf industry quietly experienced one of the biggest participation surges in decades during the pandemic. Millions of people picked up clubs for the first time, and the ripple effects are still reshaping the business of golf, from course operations to the rise of indoor golf concepts.This Retail Retold Replay revisits Chris Ressa's conversation with Brian Hilko, owner of Golf Factory in Mount Prospect, Illinois, and a tenant at DLC's Randhurst Village.After two decades as a PGA professional running golf courses, managing operations, and teaching the game, Hilko recognized something most operators overlooked: traditional golf experiences were often transactional and uninspiring. The game people loved deserved better.So he built something different.Golf Factory blends serious golf technology with an approachable, family-friendly environment. Powered by TrackMan simulators used by professional golfers, the concept allows players of all skill levels to practice, compete, and play year round without the intimidation factor many associate with traditional golf settings.Hilko shares the entrepreneurial journey behind launching the business, from identifying the opportunity during the COVID golf boom to building the space with an SBA loan, a partner, and a lot of hands-on work that saved nearly $1 million in construction costs.The conversation also highlights an emerging category within retail real estate: experiential concepts that draw consistent traffic and complement surrounding tenants rather than compete with them. Indoor golf has become a compelling example, delivering entertainment, community engagement, and repeat visits.Looking back now adds helpful perspective. The themes discussed, experiential retail, niche operators, and passion driven entrepreneurship, remain highly relevant as landlords and operators continue to search for concepts that drive traffic and create community.For retail real estate professionals, operators, and entrepreneurs, this replay offers a sharp look at how a passion for the game became a viable retail business.What You'll HearWhy the pandemic accelerated golf participation - and how millions of new players changed the business of the sport.The problem with traditional golf experiences - and why Hilko believed the industry often underserves players.Indoor golf's growing role in the sport - combining professional-grade technology with accessibility for casual players.How TrackMan technology is transforming training and entertainment - bringing tour-level analytics to everyday golfers.The entrepreneurial leap from PGA professional to business owner - and recognizing when the opportunity was right.How Hilko financed the business - combining an SBA loan, a partner, and a detailed business plan built from real operational data.Saving nearly $1 million on buildout costs - by rolling up sleeves and completing major portions of the construction personally.Why location strategy mattered - choosing a retail development with strong surrounding traffic and no direct competition.How experiential tenants complement retail centers - driving visitation that benefits surrounding restaurants and shops.Chapters00:06 — Brian Hilko's background in golfA PGA professional explains how two decades in golf operations led to entrepreneurship.01:26 — Why golf surged during the pandemicChris and Brian discuss the massive participation wave and why the game resonates with new players.02:31 — The appeal of indoor golfHow technology and convenience make the sport accessible for busy people and families.04:14 — Recognizing a business opportunityHilko explains the moment he decided to launch his own golf concept.06:22 — Building a better golf experienceWhy Golf Factory was designed to remove the intimidation factor of traditional golf.08:06 — Financing and launching the businessHow a network, SBA financing, and careful planning made the concept possible.10:25 — Technology that powers the experienceTrackMan simulators bring professional-grade data and gameplay to indoor golf.13:03 — The economics of the buildoutHow the team kept the total buildout under $1 million through hands-on construction.14:36 — Revenue projections and early performanceHilko discusses expectations for growth and seasonality in the business.15:43 — Finding the right retail locationWhy Randhurst Village offered the right combination of demand, traffic, and opport
Golf shafts bend, twist, droop, and deflect during the golf swing and most golfers have NO idea how much this impacts their ball flight.In this podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf sit down with Michael “Nipper” Nef, President and CEO of GEARS Golf, the most advanced golf swing motion capture system in the world. GEARS has captured millions of golf swings, including hundreds of thousands from PGA Tour players, giving researchers unprecedented insight into how the body and golf club actually move during a swing.We break down the science of shaft droop, torque, and deflection, why most golfers misunderstand how shafts behave, and how GEARS technology measures both body motion and club data simultaneously... something no other system can do with the same accuracy.Michael explains how GEARS measures:- Shaft bending, twisting, and drooping- Clubhead delivery and face angle- Body joint motion during the swing- Dynamic lie angle and how it affects shot shapeWe also dive deep into the GEARS Curve (sometimes called the Nipper Curve) — a concept showing why every club in your bag should be treated as a completely different tool during club fitting.If you've ever wondered:- Why long irons tend to go right- Why wedges sometimes pull left- Why traditional club fitting can miss critical variables- How PGA Tour players dial in equipment…this conversation will completely change how you think about the golf swing.Whether you're a golfer, coach, club fitter, or golf tech enthusiast, this episode explains the hidden physics behind the golf swing and how modern motion capture technology is revolutionizing instruction and equipment fitting.
If you've ever wondered how AI golf coaching actually works, this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf podcast with Mike Granato & Shaun Webb breaks it down in detail. We sit down with the creator of the Swing Coach app, the AI-powered golf swing analysis tool that's changing how golfers train using just an iPhone. We cover motion capture without markers, 120fps swing analysis, real-time voice feedback, face-on vs down-the-line data, shaft lean measurement, and the future of AI golf instruction.This is real golf swing data powered by custom-built AI models trained specifically for golf movement. We discuss how the Swing Coach app analyzes 120 frames per second, how it adapts to body type and limb length, and why most Android phones can't currently support the processing power required for this level of real-time golf swing feedback.If you care about:- Golf swing analysis- AI in sports training- Shaft lean & shallowing the club- Face-on vs down-the-line swing mechanics- Optimizing your golf practice sessionsWe also talk about:- Why great players move similarly- The “good player funnel”- Custom model swings coming soon- AI coaching trained on real instruction- Second-screen features for coaches- The Android hardware challenge- What's next for Swing Coach in 2026! This might be the most important conversation we've had about the future of golf instruction.
Most golfers think they're practicing correctly.They're not.In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb chat with Erik Barzeski to break down the 4 types of golfers we see in lessons — and why only one type actually improves long-term. If you've ever wondered how to practice golf properly, why your swing changes don't stick, or why you're not getting better despite putting in the reps… this is for you.We dive deep into:- How to practice golf the right way- Why band-aid swing fixes don't last- The difference between block practice and variable practice- Why launch monitors can make you worse- How tour players actually practice- Why feedback (video, 3D, cameras) is everything- Foam balls and slow swings for real changeThe biggest mistakes golfers make when trying to improveIf you're not practicing with feedback… you're just exercising.This episode will completely change how you approach golf improvement.Whether you're a competitive player, weekend golfer, or instructor — understanding these four types of golfers could be the difference between staying stuck and finally breaking through.Comment below: Which type are you right now?
