    If You Care About Your Clubs, You Need To Hear This!

    Golf shafts bend, twist, droop, and deflect during the golf swing and most golfers have NO idea how much this impacts their ball flight. In this podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf sit down with Michael “Nipper” Nef, President and CEO of GEARS Golf, the most advanced golf swing motion capture system in the world. GEARS has captured millions of golf swings, including hundreds of thousands from PGA Tour players, giving researchers unprecedented insight into how the body and golf club actually move during a swing. We break down the science of shaft droop, torque, and deflection, why most golfers misunderstand how shafts behave, and how GEARS technology measures both body motion and club data simultaneously... something no other system can do with the same accuracy. Michael explains how GEARS measures: - Shaft bending, twisting, and drooping - Clubhead delivery and face angle - Body joint motion during the swing - Dynamic lie angle and how it affects shot shape We also dive deep into the GEARS Curve (sometimes called the Nipper Curve) — a concept showing why every club in your bag should be treated as a completely different tool during club fitting. If you’ve ever wondered: - Why long irons tend to go right - Why wedges sometimes pull left - Why traditional club fitting can miss critical variables - How PGA Tour players dial in equipment …this conversation will completely change how you think about the golf swing. Whether you’re a golfer, coach, club fitter, or golf tech enthusiast, this episode explains the hidden physics behind the golf swing and how modern motion capture technology is revolutionizing instruction and equipment fitting. 🎁  FREE Training Here: 🎁 Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistency Chapters: 0:00 Introduction – Michael “Nipper” Nef & GEARS Golf 0:45 What GEARS Measures (Body + Club Data) 2:20 How Golf Shafts Actually Move During a Swing 6:30 Millions of Golf Swings Captured by GEARS 11:00 The Discovery Behind Filament-Wound Shafts 16:10 The Truth About Shaft Torque & Ball Flight 20:30 Why Traditional Club Fitting Often Gets It Wrong 26:00 Why Instruction and Club Fitting Must Work Together 31:00 The “GEARS Curve” (Nipper Curve) Explained 36:00 Why Long Irons Go Right and Wedges Pull Left 39:30 Tour Player Fitting Stories 45:30 How Club Lie Angle Transformed a PGA Tour Player 52:00 The Myth of “Keeping the Clubface Square” 57:00 Why the Golf Swing Is More Complex Than We Think 1:01:00 The Future of Golf Swing Measurement #golf #pga #athleticmotiongolf #amg #golftips #improvegolfswing

    Men vs Women Golf Swings (Are They Actually Different?)

    Are men and women golf swings actually different? Or is there really just one fundamental golf swing? In this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb sit down with instructor Nathalie Sheehan to discuss the real differences between male and female golfers, common swing tendencies, and how instructors should approach coaching each. While the fundamentals of the golf swing remain the same, Nathalie explains there are often physical tendencies and skill development differences that show up between male and female players. Some of the key topics covered include: • Why many female golfers struggle with grip strength early on  • Common swing tendencies instructors see in men vs women  • Why female golfers often over-rotate the backswing  • The role of strength, flexibility, and posture in the golf swing  • Why creativity in practice can improve scoring  • How coaching juniors differs from coaching adult golfers  • Mental game differences between male and female players Nathalie also shares her journey from competitive junior golf to becoming one of the top instructors in the game, working with players at Pelican Golf Club in Florida and appearing regularly on the Golf Channel. If you've ever wondered: Should women swing differently than men?Do female golfers need different instruction?Are there mechanical differences between male and female golf swings?This conversation breaks down the science, coaching insights, and real-world experience behind those questions.

    He Gained 28 Yards of Driver Carry in 4 Weeks (Real Speed Training Results)

    If you’re trying to increase driver distance, gain clubhead speed, or add serious carry to your drives, this episode of the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast with Mike Granato and Shaun Webb breaks down a real-world speed training transformation. In just four weeks, Athletic Motion Golf student Kyle increased his driver clubhead speed from 101 mph to 107 mph, producing 11 mph more ball speed and roughly 28 yards of additional carry distance. The best part? Every session was tracked and verified on a professional launch monitor (GC3 / Bushnell Launch Pro). Mike Granato and Shaun Webb walk through the exact speed training protocol, how many swings were required, how long each session took, and why hitting balls during speed training produced better results than traditional overspeed systems. Kyle explains how only two speed sessions per week (20–30 minutes each) completely changed his golf game — turning long iron approaches into wedges and making par 5s reachable. This episode covers: • The exact protocol used for speed training  • How overspeed training actually works  • Why hitting balls matters for speed development  • How to track speed improvements correctly  • What speed gains mean for scoring and approach shots If you're serious about hitting the driver farther and improving your golf performance, this podcast episode provides a real case study showing what happens when speed training is done correctly.
