Hi Theo and dnm,

I think it does not take a lot of money to get to know your impact point. (Alumni tape was 2 euros and a dry eraser might be about the same price. It will last for many seasons.)

For me it was and still is important to get to know the impact point. I feel that I need visual feedback on where I hit the ball. I did not feel it before. I felt a hit in my fingers, but I did not know that it meant that I was hitting the toe in my club face.

After using an impact marker I learned to evaluate my contact and now I don't need it. I might refresh my memory once a while. It also helps my swing to think of different things. When checking my impact point, I am more aware of hitting the ball.

Normally I just think of the path of the club face:-)

For me it is very important to learn to get feed back from my swing - to listen to what I am doing - and then just let it happen.
