WHIP score (0-100, weighted 20 percent of GOATScore) measures the impact delivery system: how effectively stored energy reaches the ball at impact. WHIP specifically measures: lag angle retention through the downswing (resisting casting), club face angle control at impact, forearm rotation timing, and dynamic loft at contact (shaft lean indicator). High WHIP without ENGINE produces precise but short shots. High ENGINE without WHIP produces power without control. The combination of ENGINE generating power, ANCHOR providing stability, and WHIP delivering it efficiently creates elite ball striking.
