One really common problem we see among student golfers, both online and in person, is controlling the length of the backswing.
It’s not very helpful to tell somebody, “Only swing to 9:00,” because you may feel like you’re only swinging halfway back when you’re already too long in the backswing.
Even if you do manage to shorten it a bit, it’s very difficult to make good golf swings when you feel like you’re only swinging halfway back and not really getting set, so we try not to tell people to stop short on the backswing position.

Telling yourself not to do something is very difficult; the subconscious mind tends to rebel.
It’s much more helpful if we give you a visual of what you do want to do. When your mind has a solid mental image of what you’re trying to achieve, your body can translate that into action more effectively — the same principle behind tools like an AI swing analyzer that give you objective feedback on exactly what your body is doing.
