3.Unique golf style

Jon Rahm has a unique golf style, full of power and precision. In terms of short and long club practice, Jon Rahm emphasizes practicing short clubs first and then long clubs, because short irons bear the heavy responsibility of attacking the green in most cases. He recommends starting with the shortest club and then moving up in sequence, so that the body can adapt to the changes in club length and it is easier to control the swing. In terms of short club play, he recommends practicing and mastering high lobs first, because this play can be applied to various situations, and then learning to hit low rolls, because low rolls are only applicable in specific situations. In terms of putting practice, Jon Rahm uses the "coin method" to practice putting, which is a common training method used to improve the accuracy of putting. In terms of swing mechanics, Jon Rahm's swing mechanics are very stable, and he will not make major adjustments, which makes his performance consistent. In terms of golf club performance, Jon Rahm uses PARADYM golf clubs, which helps him perform well on the court. Many data lead the PGA Tour rankings, such as average strokes, average number of birdies per round, and greens in regulation. In terms of swing skills, Jon Rahm's swing skills include maintaining the smoothness and continuity of the action, paying attention to the transfer of the center of gravity, flexible use of wrist movements, and precise control of the force and angle of the shot. In terms of the use of driver and irons, Jon Rahm uses a trigger action to start the swing, with his lower body leading and his upper body following. His iron swing is basically the same as the driver, the only difference is the speed. In terms of unique swing, Jon Rahm's swing is tailored to his physical condition. The flexibility of his ankles and hips limits his swing range, but he uses other methods to increase power and control the flight of the ball. In addition, Jon Rahm showed confidence and concentration in the game. He was able to use strategies flexibly and effectively manage his emotions and cope with pressure, which enabled him to seize opportunities and score key points at critical moments of the game.

4.Unique insights

On the balance between power and precision. "In golf, power and precision are like the two wings of a bird, neither of which can be missing. Many people pursue power and try to hit the ball farther, but if they lose accuracy, then hitting the ball farther is meaningless. I have been trying to find the perfect combination of power and precision in my swing, which requires control of the body, familiarity with the club, and accurate grasp of every moment of hitting the ball. Every time I swing, I think about how to make the ball fly accurately to the target area while exerting enough power." Unique understanding of swing technique. "My swing may not be suitable for everyone, but it is the most suitable for me. I was once affected by my natural right foot inversion, which made my swing different from that of most players. But it is this difference that makes me constantly explore and adapt, forming my own unique swing style. I think everyone should find the most suitable swing for themselves according to their physical conditions and characteristics, rather than blindly imitating others." The importance of competition mentality. "Golf is not only a contest of skills, but also a contest of mentality. On the golf course, you will face various pressures and challenges, and a small mistake may affect the outcome of the entire game. Therefore, it is very important to maintain a calm, focused and confident mentality. During the game, I will try my best to not be disturbed by external factors, focus on every shot, believe in my ability, and never give up the pursuit of victory even when I am behind." Views on practice. "Practice is the key to improving golf skills, but practice is not just about hitting the ball repeatedly. I will pay attention to every detail in practice, from the grip posture to the swing action, from the strength of the shot to the flight trajectory of the ball, I will carefully analyze and summarize. At the same time, I will also improve my adaptability through different practice methods, so that I can maintain a stable performance in various situations." The strategic nature of golf. "Golf is a strategic sport. You need to formulate a corresponding strategy for each hole and each shot. You need to choose the right club and shot according to factors such as the terrain of the course, wind direction, and the slope of the green. During the game, I will observe the situation of the course in advance, formulate a strategy that suits me, and constantly adjust it according to the progress of the game. The correct formulation and implementation of the strategy can often allow you to take the initiative in the game." Understanding of the spirit of golf "Golf has a unique spiritual connotation. It has taught me self-discipline, respect and persistence. On the course, you need to abide by the rules, respect your opponents and referees, and at the same time have an unremitting spirit, constantly challenge yourself and pursue higher goals. This spirit is not only applicable in golf, but also has a profound impact on my life." Advice for young players "For young golfers, don't rush for success, but focus on basic training and accumulation. Golf is a sport that requires time and experience accumulation. Only through continuous learning and practice can you improve your level. At the same time, you must maintain your love and enthusiasm for golf, because only love can enable you to persist in the face of difficulties and challenges."
