Why advanced players need more descriptive knowledge of performance feedback than beginners?

They require less feedback They are more motivated Because they know how to use that information They need simpler cues

Correct Answer:

Because they know how to use that information

Explanation:

As players gain experience, they develop mental models of how their swing and shot outcomes relate to each element of the motion. When feedback becomes descriptive, they can map each detail—where in the swing the issue is, how it affects the club path, face angle, tempo, or sequencing—to precise adjustments. They know what information to use, why it matters, and how a small change will influence the ball flight, so they can translate feedback into targeted practice cues and refinements. Beginners don’t yet have that internal map, so they benefit more from simpler, more general guidance that establishes correct patterns without overwhelming them with diagnostic detail. This is why advanced players need and can effectively use more descriptive performance feedback.
