Learning Impact: 3 steps to better ball striking

When learning how to achieve a better impact we like to go through this 3 step process.

Using an impact bag which provides resistance gives the pupil a great feeling for the impact position.

But impact is not just a position, it is a point in the swing that the player needs to swing through.

So we like to move the pupil on to swinging in long grass to replicate the felling of resistance offered by the impact bag, while allowing the club to continue the through swing.

Once the pupil is able to adjust to the new impact in the grass and has a feeling to take on, we then try to recreate this feeling through the ball.

These steps will take some practice to get right, but the difference the pupil will achieve in his ball striking will be well worth the effort.
