Consistency is the holy grail of golf improvement — the ability to reproduce quality contact and ball flight on demand. True swing consistency requires: a repeatable setup, the same sequence of movements, controlled timing, and the same mental state. Most amateur inconsistency comes from poor sequencing that forces last-second compensations. When the downswing sequence is wrong, the hands have to make micro-corrections at impact — and these corrections vary shot to shot. GOATY's multi-gate measurement system scores your consistency across every rep, identifying exactly which gates are variable and which are locked in. Consistency comes from fixing the early gates that cascade into late-gate variability.
