5 Simple Steps to a Perfect Golf Impact Position | Golf Tips
Master the Perfect Golf Impact Position in 5 Simple Steps
Improve your golf swing with this 5-step guide to achieving the perfect golf impact position! In this video, I break down a simple method to help you feel the ideal impact position in golf and learn how to replicate it every time you swing. By reverse engineering from the top of your backswing, you can learn to arrive at the perfect golf impact position.
**Step-by-Step Guide:**
🔵1. Distribute around 80% of your weight onto your lead side.
🔵2. Position your hands in front of the golf ball, ensuring the shaft leans forward.
🔵3. Slightly lift your right foot off the ground, banking inwards onto the right instep.
🔵4. Open your hips towards the target and rotate as much as possible.
🔵5. Keep your shoulders square while executing these steps.
Follow these golf tips to perfect your impact position and start striking the ball with greater consistency and power.

    tell me why that when i do a practice swing, i have perfect impact conditions. forward shaft lean and a SQUARE club head and my hands are beautifully forward as well. --- but the second you put a ball down, I'm scooping the ball and leaning the shaft backwards?? WHY is that "turn down" move necessary? I surely and truly do not turn down the shaft in my practice swing?

      Hi Jason, thanks for the comment. I can assure you that this drill does change your path and stop from coming over the top as I demonstrated in the video. I would suggest keep it does take time especially an over the top move it can be quite ingrained and can take some work to get rid of.

I can do the practice drill without coming over the top then when i hit an actual ball in my normal stance, i revert back. I am happy to be your test dummy and send you videos/clips of me practicing this drill for 2 hours a day over several months with no results?

    • @dlgolftips
      @dlgolftips 17 днів тому

      hi great question so this is a tricky one yes the handle should move low and left but it's done in a certain way, i guess i need to make a video on this but you can have the handle exit low and left and the club still traveling to the right of target a lot of golfers try and exit low and left only to swing over the top at the beginning of the downswing which can lead to pulls and slices i'll make a note to make a video on this because it is a big subject

    @85ABC 18 днів тому

    Hello. Thanks a lot for the video. Does this method you use for the lead hand take account of your natural lead arm hang? My lead hand points about 45 degrees into my body when I let it hang. Be amazing to know if your method in this video takes this into account?

    • @dlgolftips
      @dlgolftips 17 днів тому

      Hi, great question. It's just based on a fairly neutral grip for most golfers. But if you do let your arm fall into the natural hang position and place it on the grip, it will be perfect. Just make sure that when you're doing it, it is still running through the same part of the hand as mentioned in the video. People will have varying degrees, but usually not too much of a difference in the natural hang position.

  • @MrPaulbartholomew
    @MrPaulbartholomew 22 дні тому

    brilliant teaching David thanks. One question is when i shift the hips laterally by whole upper body and head follow!! almost a lunge. Any tips for shifting the lower half alone rather than my whole torso??! :)

    • @dlgolftips
      @dlgolftips 17 днів тому

      Hi Paul, great question. Yes if you set up to the golf ball and turn your head slightly to the right and focus your eye on the back of the golf ball. Now as you start your downswing try and maintain focus on the back of the golf ball keeping your upper half back. If you shift your upper half too far forward you will lose sight of the dimple on the back of the ball. Obviously there are other ways which I could further cover in a video but give that a try I think that might help you out. Another good way is also hitting golf balls off an uphill lie. You'll resist the urge of leaning into the slope.

    Impressive how well you play without the practice (due to teaching a lot). Especially how Michael was performing in this hard conditions deserves a lot of respect! And you really are some fit guys as you are walking and playing fast. I really like that, I am trying to be fast as well when I play (but of course without hurrying). If I may suggest something: Some more yardages would be interesting to know when you hit your shots and a shot-tracer also would be a nice feature. Thanks.

    • @dlgolftips
      @dlgolftips 24 дні тому

      It's not easy, don't get to play a whole lot, so you're kind of just out there, you don't know what you're going to get. You can play really good, or you can play very average, obviously very rusty in the short game department, as you probably noticed from the video. But yes, the tracer, Michael was actually able to get the tracer on his. I had problems on my end, but hopefully future videos will have the shot tracer

      @dlgolftips Місяць тому

      Hi Steve, glad you enjoyed the video. Yes, this can work really well. The only thing you have to be careful with is that your hands don't get too trapped in close to your body in the downswing. That can lead to you getting stuck. But if you see it on camera and it's shallowing, well that's a good sign.
