In this today's Podcast, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf are joined by Scott Anderson, president of True Spec Golf, to break down what actually matters in a club fitting. Scott opens with a wild story: a tour player with a 130 mph clubhead speed was struggling at the Honda Classic, and it turned out his 7 and 9 irons were built with ladies flex shafts, not a swing issue at all.

They cover why the golf club is often "the arrow, not the archer," how True Spec's Club Connect system lets them test any shaft in any head to isolate variables, why the head matters more than the shaft in most cases, and why golfers almost never leave with one brand top to bottom. They also dig into spin and loft (why stronger lofts have quietly hurt a lot of golfers' short game), the shift toward fairway woods over long irons and hybrids, and how a real fitting turned one junior golfer's swing speed jump into a completely different bag.

Scott also shares a story about a fitter who turned down a sale because the timing wasn't right, and how that decision paid off in the long run.

Let us know in the comments the last time you got properly fit for your clubs.

In this video Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf play "golf czar for a day" and go through the advice, comments, and mindsets they'd ban from golf entirely if they were in charge. That includes the idea that you can't change your golf swing (Mike has changed his five times, with video proof), the instinct to avoid counter movements like the backswing weight shift because "you're just going to have to move forward anyway," and beginner methods that strip away athletic movement in the name of a quick fix.

They also cover why "you can't learn touch or speed" on the greens is false, why playing off-the-rack clubs instead of getting fit can be holding your game back, and Shaun's own proposed etiquette rule for pace of play: there should always be a ball in the air.

Let us know in the comments what golf advice you'd ban if you were in charge for a day.

In this video Mike Granato & Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf are joined by Dr. Joe LaCaze, a former Navy SEAL, SEAL instructor, and the inventor of the Rotex and LAS training systems. He shares the wild story of a parachute malfunction that put him on foot in the path of a moving train, and how he walked away from it. From there the conversation shifts to what nearly 30 years of training SEAL candidates taught him about building difficult skills, including why process matters more than outcome, why "smooth is smooth, slow is smooth, smooth is fast," and why practice makes permanent, not perfect.

They also cover a story about a tour player whose putting yips disappeared after a session on the pistol range, and Dr. Joe's own recent results after applying his training system to his golf swing.
