In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf wrap up their checkpoint series with the exit: getting from impact into the finish. It's one of the most misdiagnosed parts of the swing, and what the pro does here surprises a lot of golfers. In 3D, the shaft doesn't stay out in front of the body after impact. It swivels back up the swing plane, with the face turning over instead of being held square. They show the move most golfers try to copy (the alignment stick drill, where the stick would cut you in half if you did it as taught), why they call it one of the worst drills they know, and why it doesn't fix a hook and can make one worse. Mike also shares how he got out of that pattern, including his feel for shaft lean at impact, the trail hand throwing drill, and the split hand drill. If you've been told your follow through looks "wrong," compare it to what the data actually shows. Let us know in the comments if you've done the alignment stick drill. 🎁 FREE Training Here: 🎁 Make your BEST swing your NORMAL swing: https://athleticmotiongolf.com/consistency Chapters: 00:00 The exit, the last video of the series 00:19 What a pro really does after impact 00:47 The alignment stick that cuts him in half 01:11 The follow through most golfers try to copy 01:36 Why this is the "normal" move 02:07 What about Tommy Fleetwood? 02:22 Why players want the wrong look 02:58 Why this is one of the worst drills 03:14 Why every tour player has drills they regret 03:31 What to look for in your own video 04:09 The symmetry between backswing and follow through 04:26 Why this doesn't fix a hook 04:47 How Mike got out of the old pattern 05:04 Impact on the trail side 05:24 Checking shaft lean with the Gears club 05:45 The trail hand throwing drill 06:10 "But I hook when I do that" 06:50 Shake hands with the target 07:09 The fishing pole release 07:25 A swivel, not a re-hinge 08:07 The right hand and split hand drills 08:53 Diagnose first, then ignore most of what you hear #golf #golfswing #golffollowthrough #golfinstruction #athleticmotiongolf
