Progress By Area

Sequencing / Over-the-top

Starting the downswing with the lower body instead of the arms/shoulders. Over-the-top is treated as a symptom of this rather than a separate fault.

Center-Face Contact

Consistency of strike location across the face, independent of the sequencing fault.

Distance / Ball Speed Consistency

How consistently the swing produces its top-end numbers rather than one-off flush hits. Baseline: ~150yd average 7-iron carry, ~170yd on a clean strike, up to 183yd carry / 213yd total on a flush hit (131 mph ball speed, 14 degree launch).
