What might be a sign of an inefficient swing pattern during assessment?

An efficient swing pattern is closely tied to how well a golfer can transfer their weight and maintain proper timing throughout their swing. Difficulty in weight transfer and timing indicates that the golfer is not utilizing their body effectively, which can lead to inconsistencies in their swing. If a golfer struggles with these aspects, it often means that they are not fully engaging their hips and core, or that their sequencing may be off, resulting in poor shot outcomes.

On the other hand, consistent ball flight would suggest a degree of effectiveness in the swing pattern, even if the mechanics are not ideal. High energy levels during swings might indicate enthusiasm or strength but do not directly reflect swing efficiency. Perfectly balanced postures are also a marker of good technique, suggesting that posture is not an indicator of inefficiency when assessing swing patterns. Therefore, focusing on challenges in weight transfer and timing is key to identifying inefficiencies in a golfer's swing.
