Impact Position Drills
I think most of us want to have consistency in our golf game. The problem is golf can be an incredibly difficult game if we try and break down every aspect of our swing before each of our shots.
Having one or two simple swing thoughts before you pull the club away and begin your swing is all you need. Any more than that, and everything starts to get jumbled up, and consistency becomes increasingly difficult.
In today’s video, I’m going to give you two areas to focus on to create the right “feel” at impact. Turn these two focuses into two swing thoughts to take to the first tee, and you’ll be well on your way to playing consistent golf and striking the ball pure!
Golf Grip Why Strong is Wrong
So many people over the years have stressed the importance of the neutral grip. This tip finally explains why you need to do it.
You cannot have loose wrists if you have a strong grip. In other words, building a powerful, effortless, pain-free golf swing starts with the grip.
If you are looking to learn this type of swing then start paying particular attention to the grip. This means you take your time and learn perfect placement of your hands on the club. Yes, this will feel uncomfortable. Yes, you will hit some bad shots but if a powerful, effortless, pain-free golf swing starts with the grip then keep doing it.
Too many people want to go right back to their old grip because it give them a powerful, comfortable feeling. Like I said, you need a neutral grip to even get this effortless golf swing. So start seeing it differently and understand why you need certain fundamentals in your swing. Once you do you will see the benefit in no time.

In order to consistently score low, it is highly recommended to form a regular pre golf practice routine before teeing off. A pre golf practice routine will warm your muscles up, and give you the chance to start out on the right foot.
I would recommend stretching for at least five minutes before starting; especially the back and the arms. It is best to take a few minutes to swing a club and warm up your muscles before stretching.
After stretching, spend some time and the putting green and driving range. In the putting part of the pre golf practice routine, bring three balls to the putting green. Start putting from a close distance to the hole, and slowly work your way back. I usually start about two feet from the hole, sink three putts, and then move back a foot. Make sure that you are making your close putts before moving back. It is important to concentrate on the close putts, because if you are not sinking those, you probably will not sink the longer ones.
After putting, move to the chipping portion of the pre golf practice routine. I usually chip about ten shots before moving onto the driving range, but however many you decide to do is up to you. Just remember to take your time, and concentrate on every shot. Do not just go up and hit 20 chips and hope that one gets close.
When hitting balls at the range, it is not the quantity of balls hit, but the quality of your shots that matter. It is much better to hit three or four good shots than to hit 100 bad shots, and reinforce bad habits. Therefore, I suggest hitting three or four good shots with each club. Be sure to take your time on each shot. Start with the higher degree irons, and work your way down to the driver.
Remember, this is just a guideline. Depending on the amount of time you have, and what you feel comfortable with. What works best for one person may not work best for everyone. Use these guidelines to develop a pre golf practice routine that works best for you.
Golfers of all skill levels are constantly scouring the internet for magical golf drills that provide simpler ways to achieve the ideal impact position and hit the ball clean every time they swing.
Self diagnosing a flawed golf swing definitely does not rank high on a golfer’s list of favorite things to do, nonetheless there are several elements in our swing that must work together correctly in order to achieve our desired end result in the impact position.
In search of a clean, straight, strong impact, Gankas has compiled this video containing his breakdown of the mechanics leading up to the impact position and how golfers must fully optimize each motion in their swing to achieve perfection.
Golfers will find that the angle their hips are rotated towards as it relates to their target has a huge influence over the success they achieve at impact.
Players that have a low handicap are almost always shown to rotate their hips open in regards to their desired target when connecting with the ball during impact.
PGA Tour Pros at the highest level of play are shown to open their hip turn as much as 30 degrees during impact, resulting in a very clean shot for the golfer. Opening the angle of our hips during impact has been shown to improve contact with the golf ball while adding measurable distance to the flight path of our shot.
Players that angle their hips toward their desired target at impact are also thought to improve contact with the golf ball while improving the aim of their overall shot.
Experienced golfers have found that increasing their shoulder tilt at impact drastically improves the results of their shot.
The same players will tell others that bending their shoulders backward at impact, away from their desired target, adds distance to the shot when done correctly.
Nearly every successful golfer that has achieved any level of acclaim in the sport will be shown to have their left wrist bowed and right wrist flexed (unless they are left handed, of course) during impact with the golf ball.
Known to veterans as clubhead lag, such wrist positioning at impact generates a huge amount of speed and strength in our overall swing.
Golfers who have poor luck with striking usually are miscalculating the timing of their lag, which collapses their left wrist at impact, leaving their hands far behind the ball as a result.
These miscalculations greatly diminish the force and accuracy of our shot, typically because golfers are hitting upward on the golf ball, resulting in their shot being scooped rather than struck properly.
The premature nature of the shot means irons are nearly impossible to be used correctly by golfers suffering from flawed timing in their wrist positioning.
