As one of the longest drivers on the Tour and second in Greens in Regulation, Karrie’s swing is described as “a classic blend of power and accuracy.” She is known for her “waggle." When teeing up, Karrie says the first thing to address is alignment. The second is a long “waggle,” which “ingrains the proper path and resets the correct feeling.”
