Golf Ball Impact

Hi there,

The impact of the clubhead with the golf ball is the moment of truth for the golf swing. There are three things you need to be aware of when taking a shot. These three things must happen before you are able to hit a true shot on the target-line which flies properly.

1. The centre of the clubface has to impact below the equator of the golf ball.
2. The clubhead’s swing path must be directly along the target-line.
3. The angle of the club-blade has to be square to there target.

Golfers use different variances in their swing but all these swings have the same conclusion on impact. These variances are conducted in a similar way and are needed for a consistent accuracy in the shots. There are also six elements which need to happen in your physical body. See as follows:

1. 80 to 90 % of the weight is on the left foot.
2. The hips are turned approximately 45 degrees.
3. The head is behind the ball.
4. The shoulders are turned left about 15 degrees.
5. The hands are slightly ahead of the ball.
6. The right heel is slightly off the ground.
