Athletic Motion Golf- The Podcast

Lazy Susan Your Way To More Rotation

Mike Granato and Shaun Webb Season 1 Episode 133

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
