Fat, thin, and flush are the same swing with the low point in three different places. Control where your swing bottoms out and ball-striking stops being a mood.
Fix My Contact Or call/text (308) 370-9797Every swing has a low point — the spot where the clubhead bottoms out. If it arrives two inches behind the ball, that's fat. An inch early with a rising club, that's thin. Just after the ball: compression, that flush feeling, and a divot in front. Most amateurs treat fat and thin as separate diseases and chase separate cures; they are one variable, wandering.
That is genuinely good news, because one variable trains far faster than ten symptoms — if you can see where it lands, which is exactly what radar and strike evidence give us.
TrackMan attack-angle data plus strike location shows where your arc actually bottoms — and how much it wanders swing to swing.
Weight flow, ball position, and arm structure are the big three levers. We adjust the one your pattern names.
Low-point games with instant feedback until your bottom lands ball-forward, swing after swing — the definition of consistency.
This is the skill golfers mean when they say ball-striking. It is trainable in weeks, not years, once it is measured.
Ask any amateur what they want and the answer is 'consistency' — which, translated, means contact they can trust. Contact is low point. A golfer whose bottom lands in a one-inch window ball-forward hits acceptable shots with mediocre swings; a golfer with a four-inch wander hits occasional beauties surrounded by chunks and skulls, forever confused about which swing was 'real.'
Chronicle Golf trains low point with TrackMan in Grand Island — measured, prioritized, and coached by the 2015 Nebraska State Champion.
A low point arriving behind the ball — most often from weight hanging back, ball position drifting forward, or early release dumping the arc early. Your specific cause shows in the radar-plus-strike pattern within a dozen swings.
Usually the same problem — a behind-the-ball low point where the club catches the ball on the way up instead of the turf first. Fixing the low point fixes both misses at once, which surprises most students.
With irons, yes — ball first, turf after, divot starting at or ahead of where the ball sat. If your divots start behind the ball or don't exist, your low point needs work.
The number moves in the first session; the habit sets over a few weeks of the practice plan we send home. It is among the fastest-responding skills we coach because feedback is so concrete.
