The GOAT Drill — 7-Gate Swing Evaluation

What Is the The GOAT Drill — 7-Gate Swing Evaluation?

The GOAT Drill is GOATY AI's comprehensive swing evaluation system. It breaks the swing into 7 measurable gates — each targeting a specific movement pattern that separates elite ball strikers from high-handicap amateurs. Pass all 7, and your GOAT Score reflects elite movement.

What It Fixes

• All major swing faults simultaneously
• Inconsistent ball striking
• Lack of feedback on practice quality
• Practicing the wrong things

How It Works in a GOATY Live Lesson

1. Gate 1 (Setup): Validates your starting position matches elite address parameters
2. Gate 2 (Loading): Measures how well you load into your trail side without sway
3. Gate 3 (Hip Depth): Checks that your trail hip stays deep during the backswing
4. Gate 4 (Sternum): Tracks sternum movement for proper turn and pivot
5. Gate 5 (Transition): Evaluates your hip-to-shoulder separation at the start of downswing
6. Gate 6 (Impact): Measures your body position and lag at the moment of ball contact
7. Gate 7 (Follow-Through): Checks that your release and finish reflect correct sequencing
