Athletic Motion Golf- The Podcast

Overrated Golf Fixes That Cause More Harm Than Good


Listen Later

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 than good for regular golfers.

You’ll learn:

  • Why bowing the wrist reduces lag and adds injury risk
  • How the best players don’t actually use extreme wrist angles
  • The dangers of overdoing shaft lean and the myths of “perfect impact”
  • Why recreating Tour visuals often leads to Shank City
  • What to do instead: trail wrist mechanics, grip, and natural motion

This isn’t theory—it’s data-backed, lesson-tested, and brutally honest. Drop the “Instagram drills” and find out what really works.
