The Key To A Powerful Golf Impact

The moment of truth…IMPACT!

This where it all happens. Did you make a full backswing creating maximum torque for a higher level of golf swing speed? Did you start your sequence of motion back down in the proper order to enable the ideal impact position?

There is a lot going on in the swing going back, and even starting down, but all the great ball strikers arrive at impact in nearly the same position. The senior tour players who have lost a little flexibility, especially in the hips and lower back, might look a tad different, but overall they look the same.

I can tell you for sure, there is an ideal position at impact that must be attained to create maximum power and ultimate distance. To cut-to-the-chase here it is…

Your hips have got to be somewhat cleared at impact with your shoulders square. This will enable you to have a free-flowing, tensionless swing through, with little or no resistance from your own body getting in the way.

Take a look at the long hitters on tour!

You’ll see their hips have rotated tremendously at impact. I love to see the pictures of these guys at impact. It’s very impressive!

Now how can you attain this same power impact position?

You can’t do it pounding balls or even taking more lessons.

You have to work your core rotational muscles to improve your “x-factor”. That is the difference between your shoulder and hip rotation at impact. This is a “physical” issue. You must train your golf muscles to create a higher degree of this “x-factor”. Rotational stretches and strength exercises while in golf posture and even sitting on a stability ball will greatly improve this.

Remember! Prepare your BODY to perform!
