Tom Saguto of SagutoGolf demonstrates how to build a 'chunk-proof' swing to ensure clean, ball-first contact every time. By focusing on a centered setup, maintaining weight on the lead side, and keeping the lead arm straight, golfers can eliminate the variables that cause fat and thin shots.
Stack your shoulders and hips vertically over your knees at setup to remain centered.
Keep your lead arm straight throughout the entire swing to maintain a consistent arc radius.
Maintain weight on your front leg to ensure the swing's low point stays ahead of the ball.
Keep your trail arm tucked in during the downswing to prevent early extension and flipping.
Focus on rotational movement by straightening the trail leg in the backswing instead of swaying.
