Mike Granato and Shaun Webb Share the Truth about Good Golf-swings

·54 min

1. On The Mark Golf Podcast episode “Mike Granato and Shaun Webb Share the Truth about Good Golf-swings” centers on Mark Immelman’s argument that golf instruction should be judged by what the ball does. 2. Mark Immelman hosts the show, and Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of AMG Athletic Motion Golf matter because they use 3D research and measured player data. 3. The episode asks whether common swing advice on YouTube and social media actually survives pressure and produces better golf shots. 4. Mark says Ian Dallasore extended the intro music after listeners asked about the clip, and he ties that choice to the show’s tone. 5. Mark contrasts “truthful and helpful” instruction with “golf instructional noise on YouTube,” and he cites Tiger Woods’ “don’t watch YouTube” line. 6. Mike and Shaun describe how they vet guests and aim to bring information that is “enlightening” and “helpful” to one’s game. 7. Mike says he watched Mark’s interview with Randy, Scotty Scheffler’s coach, twice on trips to Georgia and found it refreshing. 8. Shaun explains that many higher-handicap golfers are surprised when AMG’s advice is the opposite of what they have practiced. 9. Mike gives a story about his father, who kept being told he stood too far from the ball until golf coverage finally confirmed it. 10. Shaun says lessons often require learning what a golfer has already been trying so that the fix matches the existing pattern. 11. The shallowing section argues that the golf swing should be understood in motion, not only from down-the-line camera angles. 12. Shaun uses the phrase “sickle of the swoosh” to describe how the club’s deepest point rises and then tracks back down as the body turns. 13. Mike says the swing can become messy when golfers try to force the club behind them and then add extra moves to recover. 14. Shaun says a neutral swing keeps the club below the hands at one point, above the hands at another, and then lets it pitch out in front later. 15. Mike warns that a bowed left wrist at the top often adds another move, rather than fixing face control for struggling players. 16. The speed discussion says many amateurs go slow early and fast late, while pros often move briskly early and let the club “die” toward the top. 17. Shaun says the drill with a raised trail heel and a “backwards shot” feel helps players sense “quick slow quick” timing. 18. Mark’s examples with his daughter Izzy, a 300 bowler, and tennis players show how different sports can explain golf motion in concrete terms. 19. Mark’s style is conversational and technical, with Mike and Shaun demonstrating movements as they explain them for listeners and YouTube viewers. 20. Golfers who want data-based swing analysis and practical instruction should listen, while players looking for simple slogan fixes may skip it.

As heard by us

A practical swing lesson that turns fast motion into usable ball-flight advice.

The episode argues for judging golf swing changes by the ball, not by the mirror. Mark, with Mike and Sean, frames Rory McIlroy as the main reference point, centering on a high right elbow, proper rotation, and the club laying down through impact.
