The golf swing is a complex, multi-segment movement requiring the coordination of numerous joints and the golf club.
One of the fundamental challenges of motor learning is organising these individual movements into a coordinated, repeatable action.
By establishing a consistent starting position (P1) and a clearly defined finishing position (P9), we provide the golfer with two reference points for the movement.
These reference points create a specific timeline and constraints within which the golfer can learn to coordinate the different body segments and the golf club.
Rather than consciously controlling every joint throughout the swing, the golfer can develop the skill of moving from a known starting position towards an intended finishing position, while producing functional impact conditions.

Basic Motion
Practice moving from P1 to P9.
No backswing and no ball. Control the start point and the finish point 📍
