Making Impact


The impact of the golf swing is really the most important part of the swing.
I'm of the belief that it certainly raises your percentage of making good impact if you make a proper backswing. I feel that you want to set up correctly so that you can make a good takeaway. And the takeaway sets up the top of the backswing. When you make a good backswing you have a better chance of making a good downswing. Making the proper motions throughout the swing help add consistency to your game.
The feeling for the proper impact should be:
1. The left hand rotating back to square.
2. The lower body moves forward then the left hip starts to move up and it clears. In unison, the right hip and knee start to move down to turn through.
3. The eyes and center of chest are in line with the ball at impact.

As I've said it's much easier to create the above feelings if you make a proper backswing.
