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.

👀 In this episode:

• Why most speed training programs fail
• The injuries no one talks about from swinging at air
• How real speed translates to performance
• What makes the H.I.I.T.S Driver different
• Why hitting a ball is crucial for speed training transfer

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 downswing
• The role of femur stretch vs. lazy hip turn
• Why most amateurs are doing the opposite of what pros do
• A simple check from face-on video to know if you're screwing it up
• And why fixing this will help your swing without endless drills or reps

Back with Part 2 of our deep dive into the most overrated golf swing concepts—and this time we’re tackling two of the BIGGEST myths we see destroying amateur swings: bowing the wrist at the top and shaft lean obsession at impact.

If you’ve ever tried to "fix" your slice by bowing the wrist like DJ, or you’re chasing perfect shaft lean because you saw it in a slow-mo Tour pro video, this episode is for you. We unpack the real mechanics behind these moves and explain why they often do more harm than good for regular golfers.

You’ll learn:

• Why bowing the wrist reduces lag and adds injury risk
• How the best players don’t actually use extreme wrist angles
• The dangers of overdoing shaft lean and the myths of “perfect impact”
• Why recreating Tour visuals often leads to Shank City
• What to do instead: trail wrist mechanics, grip, and natural motion

This isn’t theory—it’s data-backed, lesson-tested, and brutally honest. Drop the “Instagram drills” and find out what really works.

Are you wasting time working on swing tips that don’t matter? In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb expose the 3 most overrated golf swing concepts that are holding back your game. From early extension to bowed wrists and “handle dragging,” we break down what really matters in the golf swing—and what’s just noise.

Sean and Mike hit the range of bad advice that’s everywhere on Instagram, YouTube, and even from your well-meaning 20-handicap buddy. You’ll learn why “fixing” early extension in your downswing is a fool’s errand, how thrust and tilt get confused, and why most golfers are practicing all wrong.

We pull back the curtain on why pros extend right away, why amateur swings fall apart, and the two things you NEED to fix before trying any Instagram swing hack. This is raw, no-BS insight you won’t get from swing tip reels.

➡️ Whether you're chasing distance, consistency, or just trying to stop topping the ball, this is a must-listen if you're serious about improving your swing.

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.

What if the secret to getting dramatically better at golf… wasn’t about more lessons, but better practice?

In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf dive deep into what might be the best golf training app ever made — the Swing Coach App. From its origin story with tech entrepreneur Briscoe at our golf school, to how it's helping golfers around the world accelerate improvement with real-time, guided feedback… this isn’t just a review — it’s a blueprint for modern golf training.

They unpack why traditional golf lessons are broken, how this app replicates supervised practice, and why “feel” alone is failing so many players. Plus, we share best practices, insider tips, and how to maximize your improvement even when you’re not hitting balls.

🧠 Featuring real swing breakdowns, the role of AI in golf, and why feedback loops are the missing ingredient for most amateurs.

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 rotation
• What the body is really doing through impact (spoiler: it's not staying down)
• How your head can go down while your body moves up
• The connection between poor shallow angles and early extension
• Why a steeper downswing shoulder plane is a good thing

If 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, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of Athletic Motion Golf unpack one of the most powerful concepts they’ve introduced - The Lazy Susan. It’s not just a kitchen throwback—it’s a game-changing way to understand rotation in the golf swing.

They dive into how most golfers are stuck with the wrong mental model when it comes to separation, rotation, and what actually powers the downswing. From steep hand paths to stalled hips, Mike and Shaun break down the common faults that stem from flawed concepts—and show how thinking of your pelvis as a Lazy Susan can clean up your move and help you rotate like a Tour player.

They cover:

• Why over-rotating your shoulders early ruins your swing
• The real source of separation (hint: it’s not on the downswing)
• How to stop being over the top without “holding off” your swing
• Why trying to “fire your hips” may be killing your rotation
