About

If your club gets laid off at the top… it’s not random.

It’s caused by 2 specific swing faults:

1️⃣ Loss of Posture

When you stand up in the backswing, you lose shoulder tilt.
That flattens the shaft and throws the club off plane.

Fix:
• Maintain spine angle
• Keep chest down
• Feel trail shoulder move down and under

⸻

2️⃣ Excessive Forearm Roll

Over-rotating the forearms opens the clubface early.
That pulls the club inside and makes it nearly impossible to recover in transition.

Fix:
• Keep takeaway neutral
• Let the body move the club
• Control the clubface early
