10 Most Common Mistakes - The Hoist

Welcome to the Athletic Motion Golf Podcast with your hosts, Mike Granato and Sean Webb, co-founders of Athletic Motion Golf. In this episode, Mike and Sean get into one of the most common swing faults they see: the “Hoist” move. 

This misleading swing flaw often looks great from a down-the-line angle but reveals major issues from the face-on perspective. The guys explain why this move is causing so many golfers to struggle and why it’s crucial to understand how your shoulder and body should move during the swing.

They explain how the hoist move often stems from flawed concepts about shoulder movement, leading to a swing that looks “on plane” but actually sets you up for trouble on the downswing. Mike and Sean discuss why focusing on the right shoulder movement—moving across rather than down—is a game-changer for your ball striking.
