However, this swing posture training depends on the coach from the expert based on visual judgment, and if the expert does not coach, it is not easy to know whether one's swing posture is correct or not. It was difficult for beginners to correct their swing posture because they could not easily recognize the position.

In the case of the golf swing, it is most important to maintain the balance of the body during the swing, and if the swing is not made according to the natural weight movement change, the golf ball cannot be sent in the desired direction, and the flying distance is shortened. In addition, the wrong swing posture is accompanied by inappropriate weight transfer changes, which puts a great strain on the waist, shoulders, and ankles, which can lead to injuries.

In particular, in the case of beginners, if the weight transfer is not performed properly during the golf swing or if the body swings excessively to transfer the weight, the balance of the body collapses or the one foot that supports the body moves without being fixed. Problems that cannot be done are often found.
