One Move From Ben Hogan Changes Your Whole Setup! (Still Works Today)

Mike Granato and Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf explain how an improper waggle and palm grip ruin your golf swing takeaway before it even begins. They break down three effective waggle patterns—including the Hank Haney semicircle and helium forearm lift—and emphasize why fluid foot and body movement is critical for a smooth transition into your backswing.

• Hold the club in the base of your fingers so your wrists can hinge freely during the waggle.
• Avoid waggling where the handle pops out and the clubhead shuts down inside.
• Incorporate subtle foot and body motion into your waggle to eliminate tension from a static setup.
• Match isolated arm motion with body rotation to ensure your takeaway stays on plane.
