This Popular Tip Is Wrecking Your Golf Swing (Here’s the Fix)

You’ve heard it a hundred times — “Keep your trail heel down.”

But here’s the truth most instructors won’t tell you: that advice is wrecking your swing.

If you’ve been struggling with early extension, poor rotation, or that locked-up, powerless feeling through impact… this video is going to change everything.

Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf are diving into the real mechanics of trail leg movement, pelvis rotation, and why keeping the heel glued down is one of the most common swing killers we see across golfers of all levels.

Instead of locking down your trail side, I’ll show you how to unlock your rotation, free up your hips, and finally feel what effortless power and consistency really feels like.

This is backed by swing data, side-by-side visuals, and real drills that you can start using immediately to fix the root cause — not just the symptoms — of early extension.

If you’re tired of chasing bandaid fixes and want a swing that holds up under pressure, you’re in the right place.
