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.
