Too-short swing arc, poor posture, early extension: understanding the real cause of your thin shots—it’s not just that “you lifted your head.”.

Stance, proper ball placement, arms fully extended, and a controlled swing: the adjustments that prevent you from hitting the fairway wood and hybrid too high.
