Full Definition
A connected swing means the arms stay in close relationship to the body's rotation throughout the swing, rather than the arms running away from the torso or dragging behind it. When the arms and body are connected, the body's power is efficiently transferred to the clubhead. Disconnection — arms lifting independently or the body spinning without the arms — creates inconsistency and power leaks. GOATY's ENGINE score is built on the sequencing relationships that create connection: the trail side loads, the lower body leads the downswing, and the arms follow rather than lead.
