This episode features a conversation with Mike Granato of Athletic Motion Golf, where we dive deep into how GEARS 3D motion capture helps instructors and players better understand — and improve — the golf swing. We talk about how to prioritize data when you’re measuring dozens of swing variables, and how to bridge the gap between elite-level movement patterns and the needs of everyday golfers.

Mike also helps tackle a common objection: “A Tour player’s swing isn’t realistic for amateurs to copy.” We unpack where that statement holds truth — and where it becomes a limiting belief. Finally, we explore how golfers can continue to make meaningful progress on their own after working with advanced tech like GEARS, force plates, or launch monitors, and how to convert measurement into actionable, sustainable change.
