ANCHOR score (0-100, weighted 20 percent of GOATScore) measures the stability system that keeps the swing center stable while the body rotates powerfully around it. ANCHOR specifically measures: head position (lateral and vertical drift from address to impact), spine angle maintenance (early extension penalty), pelvis stability (resisting lateral sway), and finish balance (weight commitment to lead side). A moving anchor destroys the consistency of the whipping motion. GOATY ANCHOR gate coaching focuses on what holds while the ENGINE creates motion.
