Get More Open at Impact with This INSANELY Simple Golf Swing Drill

Is your impact position almost identical to your address? You’re not alone—and it’s killing your golf swing. In today’s video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf get into the most overlooked knee movement error that ruins hip rotation, limits power, and creates early extension in your swing. Watch as we break down real swing data using Gears and Trackman, highlighting exactly how the left knee and hip mechanics affect your ability to clear the lead side and rotate effectively. If you’ve been told to “just turn your hips,” but still struggle with slicing, thrusting, or inconsistent contact—this video will be a lightbulb moment. We walk you through key checkpoints in the downswing, what proper sequencing looks like, and introduce our favorite impact drill using a simple shoebox or cushion to give instant feedback and results. This is a must-watch for new golfers, intermediate players, and even seasoned ball strikers who want to understand the biomechanics behind elite-level impact. 🎁 FREE Training Here: Unlock Tour-like Compression For Free Here 👇https://athleticmotiongolf.com/compre...
