Kimberly walked into GOLFTEC struggling with two major issues: fat shots and inconsistent ball flight. Her swing evaluation revealed exactly what was going wrong - and what it would take to set her straight.
What We Uncovered
- Hip sway away from target at impact: On her before-swing, Kimberly’s hips shifted just 0.6’ toward the target - far from enough. This lack of forward hip sway was a major cause of fat shots, where the club head collides with turf before the ball.
- Shoulders opening too quickly post impact: In her initial swing, her shoulders were 90 degrees open right after impact. They forced a steep, downward angle of attack (AoA), further messing with contact and consistency.
These became the precise road map for her transformation.
Step 1: Strengthen Hip Shift
We focused on drills and guided reps to increase hip sway. Over just a few sessions, Kimberly made a massive breakthrough: her hips began moving 4.4 degrees toward the target at impact, ensuring solid contact and far fewer fat shots.
Step 2: Control Shoulder Turn
Next up was timing. Kimberly needed to delay her shoulder rotation to avoid that steep AoA. We implemented structured shoulder turn drills designed to keep her at 61 degrees open at impact, rather than 90 degrees. This tweak allowed her to swing more "from the inside" and flattened out her attack plane.
