If you’re a golfer stuck on the range wondering why your scores don’t drop—even though your swing is improving—this episode is for you. In this podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down two insanely overlooked skills that will immediately impact your ability to shoot lower scores: knowing your carry distance and understanding your shot dispersion. They give you the strategies that go beyond the swing mechanics. These are the “on-course IQ” tools the pros use—but most amateurs ignore. ...
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: 👉 Should you be doing block practice or random practice? The truth? Most amateur golfers are already practicing randomly without knowing it. Grip, stance, ball position — all of it is inconsistent. And yet they’re still trying to “mix it up” even more… but that’s the fastest way to never build a reliable, repeatable golf...
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 instr...

From behind-the-scenes stori...
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...
Making a swing change in golf can feel impossible… but it doesn’t have to be.

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.

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 r...

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?

Are your hips actually rotating the way elite golfers do? In this Athletic Motion Golf podcast, 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, p...
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...

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.

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.

Most amateur golfers finish their backswing and start everything down at once—hips, arms, and club all move together. In contrast, elite players li...
