Good Golf Coaching explains how a single setup alignment adjustment helped tour professional Lilly May Humphreys eliminate fat and thin contact to shoot 68. The video details how closed alignment causes the lead shoulder to lift and flip the clubface, and demonstrates how aiming square allows the lead shoulder to stay down for crisp compression.
Aiming excessively right to force a draw causes the lead shoulder to rise up and hands to flip, resulting in fat and thin contacts.
Aligning square to the target line allows the lead shoulder to sit down through the strike and stabilizes grip height.
A negative face-to-path relationship creates a controlled draw without needing an extreme inside-out club path.
Keeping the lead shoulder low through impact improves angle of attack and lead wrist structure for better ball compression.
