The 100% Trackers are universal key positions found in every top golfer’s swing. They clearly separate professionals from amateurs and form the foundation of a repeatable, powerful, and stable motion. Since you cannot train all eight at once, the right order is crucial.

1. Kinematic SequenceThe ignition key: hips → chest → arms → club. Correct order = explosive, effortless energy.👉 Amateurs start with arms, losing rhythm and power.
Tip: Build speed from the ground up.

2. Weight TransferAt impact, weight must be rooted in the lead leg for stability and control.👉 Hanging back causes thin, fat, or weak strikes.
Tip: Press into the lead foot.

3. X-Factor StretchHips rotate forward while the chest stays back, storing energy like a stretched band.👉 Amateurs rotate both together and waste free power.
Tip: Start downswing with the hips.

4. Pelvis LiftHips rise at impact from natural leg drive, adding balance and speed.👉 Staying low blocks energy and makes the swing heavy.
Tip: Imagine a small jump through the strike.

5. Head MovementSteady, slightly behind the ball – the calm center of the swing.👉 Lifting early ruins strike and control.
Tip: Keep eyes behind the ball until the shoulder meets the chin.

6. Knee ActionTrail knee stays solid, lead knee moves inward, loading pressure into the trail leg.
👉 Collapse = lost balance and weak strikes.
Tip: Build pressure into the trail leg.

7. Lead Arm ExtendedA straight lead arm creates width, precision, and stability.👉 Bent arm = weaker, inconsistent contact.
Tip: Keep the arm long and stable.

8. Shaft LeanHands lead, shaft forward, ball compressed for crisp, spinning strikes.👉 Scooping wrists = thin or fat shots.
Tip: Strike with hands ahead of the clubhead.

✅ These eight checkpoints give you a clear, measurable roadmap to build a swing that matches the world’s best.
