What Ground Forces Actually Do (And Don’t Do) For Your Golf Swing

Ground forces are one of the most misunderstood topics in the golf world… and today, we’re diving deep.

In this episode of Athletic Motion Golf, Mike Granato and Shaun Webb unpack what ground forces actually do — and more importantly, what they don’t do — for your golf swing.

We talk through:

• Why jumping, flopping, and faking footwork is leading golfers in the wrong direction
• How muscular force is the real driver behind ground interaction
• The importance of TIMING — and why you can't fake it
• What the best players (like Fast Eddie) do that most golfers miss entirely
• Why force plates, 3D data, and tools like Smart2Move and GEARS are game-changers (but only if you know how to use them)

If you're serious about gaining speed, optimizing rotation, and unlocking the real power in your swing — you need to understand what ground forces can and can’t do for you
