The Trail Foot Mistake Killing Your Swing (And What the Pros Do Instead!)
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
Are you rolling your trail foot the wrong way and unknowingly wrecking your swing power and consistency? In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down one of the most common — and most misunderstood — trail foot movements in golf... and why so many instructors are STILL teaching it wrong.
Whether you're a weekend warrior or aiming to swing like a tour pro, understanding the correct trail foot action — especially with the driver — is non-negotiable. Using 3D motion capture and force plate data, Mike and Shaun unpack the difference between old-school heel-dragging and ankle-rolling techniques vs. what today's elite players are doing for explosive, safe speed and clean contact.

- How to retrain your trail leg for effortless power
