Golf impact position Area

I am still trying to find out what makes these pro's to accelerate club head speed in impact area. Club travels faster in that area. They hold the club longer but they accelerate in one single move through impact area.

That is the difference between good shot maker and good player.

Master impact area , you can master golf. Atleast you cna be consistent.

I do not care about grip ...back swing ...blah blah.. all those matters but most important thing is , you have to be in excellant balance position througout impact area.

I am working on my lower body turn when club smashes through the ball. Hands and hips has to be unison.

My problem always is My hands goes faster than hip or my hips goes faster and my hands slow down. I lose distance.

Johny miller talks about this single move in his video tape with hands doing some magic in that area.

If any scratch golfer here who mastered the imapact area?

Thanks
Alexk

if you dont care about back swing, grip and all that blab blah blah, then your game will be blah blah blah. Golf is cause and effect, not speeding up through the impact area is not a cause but rather an effect of what precedes it. But hey, maybe you know more about golf then Ben Hogan and people like that.

Re: Golf impact position Area

hi,

Other things are important but that does n't give you good swing. The best players are who control impact area. It is from slot position to ball leaves the club.

The club travels very fast in that position. If you see all pga tour pro's every one have different grips and back swing....numerous styles... But one thing is constant. They all have almost same posture through impact.

They hold the club cocked with writs until the last moment before they release it. Where can i get super high speed film of tiger woods swing? The videos (DVDs) slow motion don't say what is going on with grips through impact.

If i get that then i can figure out the secret.

i get the same position they do, just with less consistency. I know how they get it, I know how I got it, and I know people who over look the fundamentals will most likely never get it. THere is no secret, but you keep searching for it anyways. Good luck

Alright.

If it is not secret how come every one struggle to master the swing?. Swing plane concept is there from ben hogan book. His swing plane is start from nect to ball. he wants to hit the ball below that plane.

Do you hit 2 iron 250 yards with low boring trajectory? Then you got it.

downwind friday I hit 3 iron lob wedge on a 350 yard hole, is that good enough for you? You dont hit it as long as I do and not have good impact allignments
here is a thought for you, when was the last time you saw a golfer with a good set up have a bad swing

Hi Alexk
you only get out of golf what you are willing to put in.
If you ingnore the FUNDAMENTALS you are doomed to encounter frustration and inconsistancey.

Re: Golf impact position Area

Fundamentals are in every book and every video and every golf magazine article.

It is tought to put all together. Too many loose joints. Too many angles. Too much confused mind.

Most confused part is hands coming to slot position throught Hip movemnet and weight shift. Yes in theory it is good. Master that is difficult. It takes lots of practice. When you are under pressure you are forced to throw the hands when you wants to hit hard. Even pros hook and slice the ball once in a while.

What is the path of hands during down swing? When suppination happens during the downswing?

Re: Golf impact position Area

If nothing else mattered apart from impact then surely the PRO's who have taken years to master this game , would start their swing from halfway down the downswing.

every section , or position of the golf swing is like the link of a chain. Each link depending on the link before and the link after.

SOUND FUNDAMENTALS ARE THE BASIS OF ALL GOOD GOLF SWINGS ....there are no short cuts.

Re: Golf impact position Area

Tiger woods and jim furyk.

Their back swing is direct opposite. But they hit straight. Because they mastered the impact position. They mastered the hip movement and gets into slot position.

There is no general rule about back swing. But there is only one good impact position.

I always wonder how come steadler (big fat guy) mastered hip movement?.

I think he uses his hands more than hip movement. Anyway i am just trying to figure it out why it is difficult for others to copy pro's swing if it is so simple?.
