In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb take on one of golf’s most misunderstood instructions: stay down through the swing. While it might sound simple, most golfers are interpreting this cue in ways that hurt their motion, timing, and ball striking.

Mike and Shaun break down what’s actually happening in the swings of great players—from subtle body lift to neck mobility—and why trying to force your head or body to “stay down” often backfires. They explain:

• Why trying to "keep your head down" is ruining your rotation
• What the body is really doing through impact (spoiler: it's not staying down)
• How your head can go down while your body moves up
• The connection between poor shallow angles and early extension
• Why a steeper downswing shoulder plane is a good thing

If you've struggled with fat shots, thin shots, or inconsistent chipping, this episode connects the dots on how improper concepts are getting in your way—and gives you the right framework to fix it.

Plus, they share a quick awareness drill that has fixed the short game yips for countless golfers.

In this episode, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb of Athletic Motion Golf unpack one of the most powerful concepts they’ve introduced - The Lazy Susan. It’s not just a kitchen throwback—it’s a game-changing way to understand rotation in the golf swing.

They dive into how most golfers are stuck with the wrong mental model when it comes to separation, rotation, and what actually powers the downswing. From steep hand paths to stalled hips, Mike and Shaun break down the common faults that stem from flawed concepts—and show how thinking of your pelvis as a Lazy Susan can clean up your move and help you rotate like a Tour player.

They cover:

• Why over-rotating your shoulders early ruins your swing
• The real source of separation (hint: it’s not on the downswing)
• How to stop being over the top without “holding off” your swing
• Why trying to “fire your hips” may be killing your rotation
