Quitting

The detrimental swing fault of decelerating the club head through impact, often caused by fear, lack of commitment, or poor swing mechanics, resulting in weak contact and poor shot results. Quitting on shots typically occurs on delicate shots around the greens, in bunkers, or when golfers become tentative under pressure. This swing fault prevents proper energy transfer and often leads to chunked or skulled shots. Overcoming quitting requires confidence building, proper technique development, and mental commitment to accelerating through impact. Professional instruction often focuses on rhythm and follow-through to eliminate quitting tendencies.
