n this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb break down a question every golfer thinks they’ve figured out — but most are dead wrong about:

👉 Should you be doing block practice or random practice?

The truth? Most amateur golfers are already practicing randomly without knowing it. Grip, stance, ball position — all of it is inconsistent. And yet they’re still trying to “mix it up” even more… but that’s the fastest way to never build a reliable, repeatable golf swing.

Mike and Shaun dive into the real process tour pros use to groove their swing mechanics, and it’s a LOT less sexy than what social media tells you. It’s structured. Repetitive. Precise. It’s block practice with feedback loops, video, alignment sticks, and obsession with repeatability.

They also draw an incredible analogy between special forces rifle training and elite golf practice — where success under pressure comes from training to tight tolerances, so that randomness doesn’t destroy your performance when it counts.

Whether you’re trying to drop your handicap, strike the ball better, or just understand why your feel never becomes real — this episode is a must-listen for any serious golfer.

🎯 Learn why block practice builds your swing, while random practice refines it (only after your swing is built).
