In golf, quarter swing is a technique in which the club shaft stops swinging before it is parallel to the ground during a back swing.
As its name suggests, it is called a “quarter swing” because it finishes the swing after making a back swing only to about a quarter of the full swing.
The main goal of this swing is to learn the rhythm of the swing.
The first thing is not to watch the ball fly when you quarter swing.
If you follow the ball’s flight with your eyes, you naturally have a desire to send it further, which causes unnecessary force to enter your swing.
Therefore, being careful not to see the flight of the ball is the first condition to maintain a sense of rhythm.
The second is to swing like a pendulum exercise.
To do this, it is important to take a deep breath first and relax your shoulders. You should swing so that it feels as if the pendulum is moving.
If you practice the swing by making a “tick” sound in your mind to maintain a certain sense of repetition and beat, you can create a good sense of rhythm. This method is also commonly called “tick-tick swing”.
Third, you need to maintain a stable grip.
When playing quarter swing, it is very important to keep your grip intact even after hitting the ball. Keeping your grip intact can increase the consistency of your swing.
This requires practice to keep the position of the hand and the force of holding the club constant during the swing.<

Fourthly, you have to match the ball to the center of the club’s pace.
You have to practice hitting the ball to the center of the club face. When you hit the ball to the center of the club face, it can fly consistently far away.
For this, it is important to practice consistently while maintaining an accurate hitting position.
The practice of hitting the ball to the center of the club face is a great help in stabilizing the flight distance and direction of the ball.
Therefore, in order to successfully swing the quarter swing, you need to keep your grip stable after hitting the ball, and keep practicing accurate hitting to the center of the club’s pace.
These exercises can increase the consistency of the swing and improve the flight distance and direction of the ball.
If you learn the grip naturally through quarter swing, the sense to match the club pace, and a certain rhythm, you can increase the stability and consistency of the overall swing.
These efforts will eventually help you improve your golf skills
