One of my new students recently made several comments during our lesson that really drove home the foundation of The Impact Method. He was really struggling to get the golf club to bottom out in front of the ball, and when he tried to hit “down” on the ball he usually chunked ( hit behind ) the golf ball. I can’t tell you how many times I see this same problem with golfers.

One thing this student also could not do was strike his long irons, and fairway woods consistently. I believe golfers should learn to hit 3 and 4 irons correctly because it will teach you to make correct impact alignments, hybrid clubs are great, but often will mask swing issues. Use your hybrids, but take a 3 iron to the range and see how well you can strike the ball. It is a true test of your golf swing.

Upon a comprehensive video analysis my student could easily see why he was struggling. Golfers need to see what they are doing to really understand how to correct their flaws. Correct diagnosis and prescribing drills they can perform are dramatically improved when using a swing analysis system.

If you have not seen your swing on high speed video and have an understanding of your golf swing then you are really wasting practice time. Improvement moves incredibly fast after an evaluation using a tool such as video. If you have a video camera, click my contact on this page and I will upload your swing to my software and send it to you with audio and breakdown of your swing. Turn around time is only one day !
