You've been told that shaft lean is the key to a powerful golf swing—but what if you've been misled? In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Web break down the biggest myths about shaft lean and what REALLY happens in the swings of top golfers.
👉 Key Takeaways:
- The role of the trail hip movement in creating effective shaft lean.
- Why forcing early extension is a common mistake.
- How measuring data from elite golfers debunks traditional golf myths.
- The real mechanics of a powerful downswing—and how to apply them to your own game.
Most golfers believe they need to drive their hands forward to achieve shaft lean, but this actually shuts down good pelvis motion and reduces swing efficiency. Learn how proper hip movement can naturally create the right amount of shaft lean, improve ball flight, and optimize impact dynamics.
