90% of Golf Amateurs Make THIS Backswing Mistake! Do You?

The #1 backswing mistake we see over and over again with amateur golfers? Locking out the trail leg in hopes of turning more — and it’s killing your swing. In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf break down a critical lesson they teach at golf school: why trying to increase hip turn by straightening your right leg actually hurts your backswing and costs you power and consistency. Using real swing analysis, they’ll show you how the best players in the world move their pelvis deeper than their trail knee — and why that relationship matters more than maxing out rotation numbers. They’ll also walk you through the proper pelvic tilt, knee flex, and hip depth mechanics that create a powerful, repeatable backswing — no squat needed, and definitely no 90° pelvis turn nonsense. ✅ Learn the right feels ✅ Avoid common rotation myths ✅ Get drills that actually help If you're overturning, underpowering, or just not hitting it like you used to, this is the concept you NEED to understand. Plus, we’ll demo a simple swing cue and a powerful lead foot drill you can try at home to reinforce proper movement. This is how pros move. This is how YOU can too. Let's clean up your backswing, save your knee, and finally unlock your full swing potential. 🎁 FREE Training Here: Unlock Tour-like Compression For Free Here 👇https://athleticmotiongolf.com/compre...
