Top & Thin Fix — Hold Your Angles

What it fixes: Stop topping — keep your spine angle and knee flex through the ball.

How to do it

1. Set up with your backside lightly touching a chair or an alignment stick behind you
2. Make swings keeping your backside in contact with it all the way to impact
3. Feel your chest stay pointing down at the ball a beat longer — don't stand up out of the shot
4. Keep the lead knee flexed and let the arms fall rather than lift

Pro tip: Feel: 'stay down and turn' — your shirt buttons face the ball through impact instead of rising toward the sky.

Watch it in your data

This drill moves Strike / contact — track it session to session with the Strike Location guide open. A drill without a measured before/after is a feeling, not a fix: hit a baseline block, do the drill, re-measure the same block.
