Mastering the golf impact position is the secret to hitting longer, straighter shots. This crucial moment, where the clubface meets the ball, determines the trajectory and distance of your shot. Understanding and perfecting this phase can transform your game.
During impact, your hands should lead the clubhead, maintaining a forward shaft lean. This position, known as “keeping the lag,” ensures that the club follows the pace set by your hands, maximizing control and power.
Small adjustments in wrist angles, elbow positioning, and forearm rotation can make a significant difference.
Let’s explore some practical tips and drills that will help you refine your impact position and ensure that every swing counts.
