Problems solved by technology

One of the most difficult things for a golfer to master is proper swing.

New golfers find learning the swing to be an uncomfortable and awkward experience.

Even if they begin with a correct hand and body position, they often lose the correct body positioning part way through their swing.

Similarly, although they may begin the swing with the club (and head of the club) in the correct position, the positioning of the golf club tends to deteriorate as the player processes through the swing.

The deterioration in positioning can cause the face of the golf club head to strike the golf ball improperly.

Most are difficult to incorporate by the golfer because the nature of learning the swing requires the golfer to assume an unnatural stance and handhold.

Because it is unnatural, it is difficult for the golfer to maintain the position through the swing even if they have studied instructional materials.
