How Pros Groove The Same Swing Every Time (And You Can Too)
Mike Granato and Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf demonstrate the 'Forearm Laser' drill to simplify the golf swing plane. By ensuring the forearm points at the target line during both the takeaway and the delivery phase, golfers can eliminate loopy paths and create a 'swing with no holes.' The video emphasizes the importance of daily calibration to maintain consistent feels and better performance on uneven lies and half-shots.
The takeaway is the slowest but most critical part of the swing; getting it 'off the rails' ruins the rest of the motion.
Use the forearm as a visual laser: it should point at the target line when the club is parallel to the ground in both the backswing and downswing.
A neutral, 'middle of the road' path allows for successful half-wedges, 3-woods, and uneven lies where loopy swings fail.
Feel vs. Real: Your internal feel for a movement degrades daily, requiring constant calibration with video or mirror feedback.
Focusing on these two checkpoints (takeaway and delivery) helps create a 'stock neutral' swing that works from 15 yards to 300 yards.
