My biggest gains in ball striking came from improving my transition. Particularly, shifting/loading onto my lead side earlier, BEFORE the backswing completes. This naturally helps the hips open more at impact, gets the club path more inside, and encourages lag. I think it would be difficult to achieve this impact position without addressing this transition move first.

[TeddyCavachon]

You hit the nail on the head about address vs. impact. When coaching a new golfer the first thing I do is pose them into the post-release position; where club face is just after ball releases. They realize that at impact the hips have shifted laterally and open relative to address and back foot is still grounded or just slightly raised. Next I’ll have them pose there with just their lead hand on the grip and challenge them to get the trail hand on the grip. The only way to do that is to side bend the spine, what good ball strikers do through impact.

What 99% percent of golfers don’t realize is the role the mass of the lead arm flying down off the chest plays in accelerating the club head. Because of the way the shoulders and pinned-across-chest lead arm lag behind hip turn in the downswing by 45° just as the hips reach 45° open and feel “stuck” if back foot is grounded the shoulders turn back to parallel and the momentum causes the mass of the lead arm to fly off the chest pulling the trail arm straight and pulling hands and club head mass straight at the target. The more a golfer can side bend as this occurs the more tilt there will be in the shoulders and the more the mass of the lead and trail arms will fly off towards target changing the force vector of the club head mass from tangential to the circles around the feet and hands to straight down the target line.

The physics of how the dual lever action of club shaft spinning the mass of the club head around the lead arm is very similar to a Trebuchet which whips a projectile in a sling around the primary lever arm. The key trigger move is the feeling of “hitting the wall” with the hips that occurs when shifted laterally then rotated with feet grounded which forces them to stop abruptly causing lead arm mass to disconnect and club head mass to start whipping down around the hands — which generates a huge burst of the club head acceleration.

The golfer “breaks through the wall” by a controlled lifting of the back foot through impact then lifting it on the toe and turning it to allow hips to turn the final 45°+ degrees to face target in the finish. Many of the swing faults of beginners can be traced to the action of their back foot, either lifting it too soon and allowing hips and shoulders to swing open too much, too soon before impact or keeping it grounded which results in “blocked” hips which are at 45° open in the finish which causes shoulders turn past hips and trail arm to immediately bend at the elbow as club head mass whips around feet instead of being pulled out straight at the target.

Since I subscribed to your channel, my golf game as a whole, has improved greatly. I've been a subscriber for a few years now. Using your tips and drills, my ball striking is better than ever!
Thanks for all your help!

[lkae]

One of the best drills to fix a slice for sure. Thanks

[dougiereid]

Excellent drill and well explained and demonstrated, this really works thank you

[mrsleetaylor]

Great lesson! From a 1.2 hcp to 20 as I’ve aged these days I’m in trouble as soon as the club moves away from the ball, and for me impact feels more like a slap! Discouraging and painful! Feeling my weight on the ground will stabilize my body and feel more athletic again. Love your simplicity! Thank you so much!

[otherone]

Great explanation. The fact that you mentioned about hand position being further ahead of the ball at striking moment (compared to the initial set up hand position) stuck in my head and easy to remember, definitely improving my game (just that simple fact). Thank you.

[findyourfreedomBoston]

Very helpful and easy to understand. Good drill

[Mike-mzcm]

Good video and nice drill to warm up with and get that consistent impact.

[phamasite]

WOW In 4 months I have watched endless youtube videos and understood the concept of getting the club to land in front of the ball but I was never able to do it until I followed your drill. The swing felt very awkward initially but after 2 days I knew what a solid contact feels like. I was so happy with the routine that I kept going for 50 minutes rather than 5 min. I will take note of what you said about quality and quantity.
Thanks

[harleydavidson]

thanks ali, this drill has really helped with my ball striking and has my angle of attack in the negatives, i went from 135 to 150 carry with my pw.

[markmccarter]

Your videos are always helpful to me and I would think to the everyday golfer! Your delivery is very easy to digest and translate to better our game, thanks Ali

[SuperLefty]
