Jerked
A golf shot that is hit quickly and impulsively, typically pulling to the left of the target due to rushed tempo and poor swing mechanics. Jerked shots often result from impatience, pressure, or trying to hit too hard without proper rhythm. This swing fault demonstrates the importance of tempo and rhythm in consistent ball-striking. Understanding jerked shot causes helps golfers develop better pre-shot routines and swing tempo. Avoiding jerked shots requires maintaining composure and trusting proper swing mechanics even under pressure.
