The Worst Swing Concepts In Golf (That Cost Us Years)
5d ago00:24:30Tap to summarizeWelcome to the swing confessional.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf open up about every dumb thing they bought, built, or did in the name of getting better at golf before they had GEARS, force plates, or any way to actually measure what works. Their stories are funny, painful, and brutally honest. The kind of stuff most golf coaches would never admit to a camera.The PVC pipe SAM 2000 ring that gave Shaun two months of shanks before his first season in Maine. The Mark Brooks strap-and-cuffs system that gave him the laterals. Mike convincing his dad to buy a brand-new Brute garbage can so he could cut the rim off and duct-tape it to the wall to swing inside. Shaun's wholesale Bob Mann's Automatic Golf rebuild two weeks before his state championship (he somehow hit 17 greens — still praising Bob Mann). The Killer B driver with the 46-inch shaft. The Viper Bite sandpaper-faced wedge. The original Medicus breakaway and the friend who bought one in a pro shop and shanked the first four approach shots of a money game with money on every hole.Plus the methodology spectrum that traps so many golfers (one extreme to the other), the discovery that tour pros congregate in a tight "AMG window" of about 8-10 parameters, and why Shaun's nephew growing up now has access to information that Shaun and Mike spent decades wishing they had.🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistencyCHAPTERS00:00 Opening The Swing Confessional00:29 Shaun's First Set Of Clubs.

Transcribe →F Your Feels! The Brutal Truth About Changing Your Golf Swing!
2w ago00:17:51Tap to summarize"For anyone taking on the task of improving their golf swing... you have to F your feels."Your feels are a memory. They're not a movement. They degrade over time, they're the worst possible anchor for changing a real motor pattern, and they're the number one reason why "I tried it and it didn't work" means literally nothing in a golf lesson.Shaun and Mike from Athletic Motion Golf break down the lesson moment every golfer has been through...making a swing, being asked "did you do it?" and answering "I felt like I did" — only to pull up GEARS and see zero change. The fix is the same every time: slow down to about 45-50 mph (which feels like 3 mph), let your brain catch up with the club, actually feel the new move in real time. Then build the reps back up by 5 mph at a time.Plus the Tiger Woods quote about feel matching real, the Hank Haney concept that you can't teach a slicer to hit it straight (you have to teach him slice to hook to good golf), the Disney Grand Prix guardrail analogy that finally explains why "outside by five" is what neutral feels like when you're stuck inside by five, and the brutal "I have five swings" lesson moment that exposes why most golfers think they have control they don't actually have.🎁 FREE Training Here: Unlock Tour-like Compression For Free Here 👇https://athleticmotiongolf.com/compressionCHAPTERS:00:00 F Your Feels. 00:25 Why Feels Aren't Real00:48 Feel Is A Memory.

Transcribe →Why Most Golf Training Aids Don't Work! (Some Make You Worse)
3w ago00:18:55Tap to summarizeMost golf training aids will make you worse...and the average golfer doesn't know.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf pull back the curtain on training aids: the ones they actually recommend, the ones that quietly train the OPPOSITE movement of what you're trying to fix, and the simple criteria every training aid has to pass to be worth your money.The big rule: a training aid should give you feedback, not do the work for you. If it restricts you into the right position (rails, arm tubes, swimming pool noodles, butt-band restrictors), your muscles are training to push AGAINST the restriction — which means as soon as you take it off, you've ingrained the exact pattern you were trying to change. Shaun's confession about the swing jacket is the perfect cautionary tale. Thousands of balls trained the wrong move.Plus the Greg Rose TPI concept of "use the opposite" (pull the golfer toward the bad move so they have to engage the right muscles to counter it), why the Hits Driver is one of the only training aids on AMG's recommendation list, and why the camera + foam ball + Swing Coach app combo is the most underrated training aid setup you already own.And the bonus: camera perspective and lens distortion in golf swing video — why the iPhone "3D" apps that point at a laptop screen produce horrific data, and why your swing looks completely different from four cameras three feet apart.Want training aid reviews from AMG?

Transcribe →These 3 Things Decide Whether You Ever Improve at Golf!
4w ago00:27:40Tap to summarizeWhy do so many golf lessons fail? It's not always the coach. It's not always the player. It's usually the conversation that never happened between them.In today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down both sides of the golf lesson equation. The player side (what to expect, what to ask, what to demand) and the coach side (the resort lesson vs. the player development lesson, why setting expectations matters, why measurement beats opinion). Plus the three reasons most lessons fail and the simple formula that fixes it.The framework. Good information + correct application + repetition = improvement. If you're not getting better, one of those three is off. That's it. There's no magic secret formula. There's no special drill that unlocks the swing. The work happens between lessons, and the feedback loop is what separates real improvement from "I think I'm doing it right."Shaun shares his own story — two years to build a swing flaw he was taught (too much shaft lean), over ten years to unlearn it. A 5 to 1 ratio. Plus the Grant Hill path-fix example that shows why a coach has to walk you through what's coming next, the social media posed-before-and-after problem, and why having a swing coach app on every swing has been a complete game changer.🎁 FREE Training Here: Unlock Tour-like Compression For Free Here 👇https://athleticmotiongolf.com/compressionFollow AMG:Instagram: @athleticmotiongolfFacebook: Athletic Motion GolfCHAPTERS00:00 Why Most Golfers Have Had Bad Lessons00:43 The Flat Tire Vs Motor Pattern Problem02:21 What Is A Resort Lesson?04:41 The Questions A Good Coach Should Ask You06:38 The Grant Hill Story.

Transcribe →The Most Misunderstood Move in Golf (Even Instruction Gets It Wrong)!
Jun 600:13:46Tap to summarizeThe most misunderstood thing in the entire golf swing. Impact doesn't happen on the front side of your body. It happens on the trail side.Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down the concept that almost no golf instruction teaches — and the reason every cartoonish impact pose, rib-cracker drill, and "swing your arms across" cue has been training you toward the opposite of what every tour player actually does. The pie chart breakdown explains it cleanly: at impact, your body has rotated open, and the ball, hands, lead elbow, and club are all in the trail-side 60-degree pie of your pelvis. Not the front side. Not where you've been practicing for years.When you understand where impact really lives, you stop forcing the contorted poses, you stop shoving the hands forward, and you let body rotation deliver shaft lean and shallowing for free. Tour average shaft lean is only 7.98 degrees. The obsession with massive lean is misplaced. Position the body correctly and everything else follows.🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistencyFollow AMG:Instagram: @athleticmotiongolfFacebook: Athletic Motion GolfCHAPTERS00:00 What's The Most Misunderstood Thing About The Golf Swing?00:22 The Maine Clinic Story.

Transcribe →This is Why You Don't Get Better After Lessons! (It's Not The Coach)
May 2900:19:08Tap to summarizeYou 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.🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistencyCHAPTERS:00:00 The Two Halves Of A Golf Lesson00:47 How To Show Up.

May 2200:15:03Tap to summarizeThe 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.🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistencyCHAPTERS00:00 Welcome to the Best Swing Advice Hall of Fame00:50 Inductee #1.

May 800:21:23Tap to summarize99% 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👉 FREE: Add Instant Distance With This GO-TO "Distance Injection" DRILL: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/distance🎥 Want to film your swing the right way at home?
