This might be the most misunderstood concept in the golf swing… and it's costing golfers more than they realize.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down one of the most commonly botched elements in the modern golf swing: shaft lean at impact.

Golfers everywhere are obsessed with achieving that “tour-level look” — hands forward, clubface compressing the ball — but most are chasing a pose, not a position rooted in proper movement and mechanics. And the results? Inconsistent ball striking, weak compression, and frustration on the course.

Mike and Shaun dive into:

• Why holding lag is ruining your swing
• The truth about wrist angles and body positioning
• How “posing impact” is hurting your real performance
• Why even elite players misunderstand what shaft lean actually is
• The role of swing sequence and movement patterns in achieving natural compression

This episode is for every player who's chased compression, tried to "hold the angle," or been told their hands need to be way forward at impact.

🎯 Want real, lasting improvement? Start with a deeper understanding of how the best in the world actually move — and how YOU can train your body to do the same.

What if everything you thought about early extension was wrong?

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb dive deep into one of the most misunderstood and misdiagnosed swing faults in golf: early extension.

Most golfers (and sadly, a lot of coaches too) are watching the wrong hip, misreading camera angles, and making massive swing changes to fix a problem they don't fully understand. The result? Wrecked pivots, locked hips, and stalled progress.

This is the real truth about early extension — and how it’s often a symptom, not the root cause.

Inside, we’ll unpack:

• The #1 camera mistake that leads to misdiagnosis
• Why your lead knee and hip rotation matter more than trail side movement
• How most swing aids and drills make the problem worse
• What you should actually focus on to fix your swing
• Why locking your pelvis down is destroying your power and consistency

🔥 Whether you're struggling with contact, rotation, or just can’t stop early extending, this is the video that sets the record straight — backed by Gears data, not guesswork.

This is one of the most important concepts every serious golfer and coach needs to understand.

Are you struggling with early extension, poor pelvic control, or losing depth in your backswing? You’re not alone — and today, we’re breaking it all down.

In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb sit down with golf coach and biomechanics expert Erik Barzeski to uncover the most common swing faults they see in golfers of all levels — and more importantly, how to fix them.

From pelvis thrust and hip overturn to trail knee extension and loss of depth, Erik brings years of data-backed coaching experience using tools like Gears and force plates to help golfers identify what’s really going wrong in their swing.

Topics include:

• Why most amateur golfers misuse their pelvis during the backswing
• The real reason your trail knee is causing early extension
• How to control hip rotation for a more athletic swing
• Creating better pivot and arm structure to stop losing depth
• The truth about sway, pressure shifts, and shoulder tilt mechanics
