90% of Golf Instructors Teach This Impact Myth (And It’s Ruining Your Swing)

Golfers everywhere are being taught the wrong concept of where impact happens — and it’s destroying swings before they even start. In this video, Mike Granato & Shaun Webb expose the truth that 90% of golf instruction still gets wrong: impact actually happens on the trail side of your body , not the lead side. If you’ve been grinding on “getting your hands in front of your lead leg,” there’s a high chance you’ve been fighting physics, stalling rotation, and killing your power — all because of a bad address in your mental GPS. They break down: Why the “hands in front” myth persists in lessons worldwide. How pros actually position their hands and hips at impact (with 40+ Tour winners’ data to prove it). The illusion on TV that makes impact look lead side… but isn’t. Why getting this one concept right can finally unlock your rotation, speed, and consistency. Once you understand this, your entire approach to the golf swing changes — and improvement gets a whole lot easier. If you’ve been frustrated, plateaued, or even gotten worse after “doing what you were told” — this is the lightbulb moment you’ve been waiting for. 📌 Listen to the end for practical drills and checkpoints to retrain your swing the right way.
