  You CAN Swing Just Like A Major Champion (Here's How) 28.08.2026 28min

  In this episode, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf Podcast answer the comment they get every single week: "Amateurs shouldn't try to copy tour players." Using years of 3D data on tour winners, they explain why that advice is backwards. The players in their database are not physical outliers. Many fail basic mobility screens that amateurs pass. What actually separates them is simpler movements, repeated inside a tight, learnable window, not more talent or more flexibility...

  The Advice That's Secretly Ruining Your Swing! 21.08.2026 19min

  In today's Athletic Motion Golf podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb discuss one of their biggest realizations from years of 3D data: your bad golf swing is much closer to a great one than you've been led to believe. Almost every move golfers think of as a major fault (the flip, the shift off the ball, the trail leg thrusting forward) is actually the natural, athletic movement done at the wrong time, not the opposite of what good players do. The problem is that the instruction industry has...

  How He Coached A 14-Year-Old Into A National Champion! 14.08.2026 45min

  For today's podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb's guest is Nick Duffy, Director of Instruction at Athletic Motion Golf and coach of the 2024 NCAA individual champion. Nick started working with his star pupil at 14 and rebuilt an unorthodox, already-winning swing into a championship game...so we dug into everything he's learned about developing junior golfers, and why so much talent gets wasted. We cover the growth-spurt "drop-off" (why bones grow first, muscles second, and the nervous sys...

  Your Over-The-Top Downswing Starts In Your Takeaway! 07.08.2026 16min

  Over 10 million swings have now been captured on the Swing Coach app and one pattern dominates: the club sucked inside on the takeaway, then thrown steep and over the top coming down. Walk any driving range and you'll see this "sledgehammer" move everywhere. In this video we break down why it's so hard to play good golf from there, and exactly how to fix it — starting where it actually begins: the takeaway. We cover why we're "backswing teachers" (organize the backswing and the downswing lar...

  The Training Aid That Widens Your Backswing Instantly! 31.07.2026 23min

  On this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb reveal something they've spent over 10 years building. After more than a decade giving 3D lessons, we kept seeing the same fault in 99% of golfers: the trail arm. It over-bends, pulls behind the rib cage, and lowers — and that combination is what sends the club steep and over the top in transition. We tried every training aid out there to fix it, and never loved any of them: they were cumbersome, they didn't fit...

  The Only Practice Plan You'll Ever Need! 24.07.2026 18min

  Every time a pro wins with a quirky move, it shows up on the lesson tee the next week.... the bowed wrist, the foot hop, the "swing that will revolutionize golf." We all love an outlier, and we all think we're one magic bullet away. In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down why copying those moves is the fastest way to wreck your golf swing, and what you should be stealing from tour players instead. The real answer is their mindset and how ...

  The Real Reason Your Range Swing Vanishes On The Course! 17.07.2026 13min

  You're striping it on the range, then somewhere between the range and the first tee your swing vanishes — "where did that guy go?" It happens to everyone, and in today's Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Shaun Webb and Mike Granato break down exactly why, and how to bring your range swing to the course. We get into the false confidence of hitting the same club over and over, why you should change clubs and targets every ball ("play the course on the range"), and the number one killer under press...
• 
  How To Actually Use a Launch Monitor To Improve Your Swing! 10.07.2026 16min

  Launch monitor ownership among amateurs has exploded. Trackman, Foresight, SkyTrak, Garmin, Bushnell...everyone has one at home now, and everyone is chasing numbers. Shaun Webb and Mike Granato from Athletic Motion Golf open the conversation with the honest working truth of every measurement tool. The launch monitor tells you what happened at impact. 3D tells you why it happened. And when you use only the former, you end up doing what tour pros used to do when Trackman first hit the scene. Yo...

  The Worst Swing Concepts In Golf (That Cost Us Years) 03.07.2026 24min

  Welcome 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 B...

  F Your Feels! The Brutal Truth About Changing Your Golf Swing! 26.06.2026 17min

  "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...

  Why Most Golf Training Aids Don't Work! (Some Make You Worse) 19.06.2026 18min

  Most 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 (...

  These 3 Things Decide Whether You Ever Improve at Golf! 12.06.2026 27min

  Why 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...
• 
  The Most Misunderstood Move in Golf (Even Instruction Gets It Wrong)! 05.06.2026 13min

  The 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, ...

  This is Why You Don't Get Better After Lessons! (It's Not The Coach) 29.05.2026 19min

  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 wh...

  The Backswing Test 99% Of Golfers Fail (Try This At Home!) 22.05.2026 15min

  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...

  Why You Don't Get Better At Golf! (No Matter How Hard You Try) 15.05.2026 19min

  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, wh...

  9 Out Of 10 Golfers Move Their Arms WRONG (It's Killing Distance) 08.05.2026 21min

  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 GEA...

  Your Camera Is LYING to You About Your Swing (And the Pros You're Copying) 01.05.2026 16min

  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 mak...

  The Practice Habits Separating Tour Pros From Every Amateur Golfer! 17.04.2026 28min

  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.
