ENGINE score (0-100, weighted 60 percent of GOATScore) measures the power generation system: the kinematic sequence from ground up (feet to legs to hips to torso to shoulders to arms to club). Elite golfers show a specific sequential pattern where each segment reaches peak velocity before the next, creating a whipping acceleration. ENGINE specifically measures: trail side loading depth, lower body initiation before upper body, X-factor stretch (hip-shoulder separation), and the seamless handoff from body to arms through the ball. GOATY Steps 1 and 2 live lesson drills directly build ENGINE score.
