Aimee Cho's Method
Her motto can be summed up in three words: simple, fun, and effective. Aimee Cho breaks down a movement into a few key points that are easy to feel, then has students repeat it slowly before picking up the pace again.
A simple, three-finger grip
One of her most-viewed lessons focuses on the grip: the club is held primarily with three fingers of the left hand, which leaves the wrists free. That’s where she starts, whether she’s working with a beginner or a player who slices the ball.
Driver power: throw the club, brace your core
To gain distance, she emphasizes “throwing” the club toward the target rather than hitting it, and she stresses the importance of engaging the abs to maintain proper form during the downswing. Her proprietary method, Core-Dex, links this core strength to power and pain prevention.
The Basics of the Short Game
Whether chipping or putting, she sticks to the basics: ball position, weight on the front foot, and a swing that involves the arms and shoulders without using the wrists. She takes the same approach with long clubs, such as the hybrid, which she sweeps rather than hits. How to Hit Your Hybrid Well: Ball Position and the Coin Drill.
A real series for beginners
Her “Beginner Series” takes golf in order: the setup, the rotation, short swings, then the full swing. It’s one of the few YouTube series built like a progressive course.
