Swing Precision Solution for Amateurs

Handicap 20+: First, correct common swing mistakes and establish a basic swing framework. Slice Correction: Beginner golfers often experience slices due to “arms generating power before the downswing,” resulting in an “outside-in” swing path. Use the “towel-tied arm practice method”: Tie your right arm to your waist with an elastic rope (tight enough for slight movement), forcing your body to rotate first during the swing to prevent premature arm power generation. Practice hitting 30 balls daily at the driving range with a 7-iron for 10 consecutive days to significantly reduce the slice (from over 15 meters off target to within 5 meters). Thin Shot Solution: This is often caused by “weight shifting too early,” resulting in the clubhead “brushing” rather than “biting” the ball. Practice “weight shift at impact”: In your stance, place your weight on your right foot (60%), then shift your weight to your left foot at impact, keeping your knees slightly bent and avoiding an upright posture. Combine this with “mat marking practice” (draw a horizontal line on the mat, ensuring the clubhead hits the line before the ball). This can improve shot solidity by 40% within a week.
