Cover it to compress it 💥
A common mistake from recreational golfers is raising the chest throughout the downswing ❌
sportsboxai shows Tiger at 42° of chest bend at setup… and 47° at impact on this low flighted shot.
That small increase tells the story:
✅ Chest stays down
✅ Shaft lean increases
✅ Ball gets compressed
⚠️ Important:
Lowering the chest is a steepening move — so it can move the path more outside-in if the club and face aren’t in a good position first.
If you want to flight it lower and compress it…
👉 Get the chest DOWN — just make sure the clubface position + shaft movement support it. Many times, the chest is moving UP to create space or shallow the club on the downswing
