In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb break down the REAL mechanics behind squaring the face—and why simply turning your body won’t cut it. They'll explain how elite players use a combination of ulnar deviation, supination, and wrist extension to properly square the face and create consistent ball striking. If you’ve ever struggled with slicing, flipping, or lack of shaft lean at impact—this is the video you NEED to watch. They demonstrate & explain the myths behind the “body-only” swing, and give you drills that you can use today to unlock true face control.
