Body Landmarks at Impact

Weight on the front leg, hips, and belt buckle facing the target: these are the body positions to check for a solid strike.

Hands and Wrists in the Swing

Right arm straight, left wrist bent, and hands whipping the club: how to keep the clubface square without panicking at the moment of contact.

Hands in front to compress

Shank angle, hands in front of the clubhead, and a cupped wrist: these are the factors that really compress the ball, depending on the club used.

Solidifying Impact Through Practice

A controlled low point in front of a towel and Justin Rose’s practice swing: two ways to practice the correct stance.

At impact, good players keep their hands in front of the clubhead, shift their weight forward, and keep their hips open. These simple cues—which you can check in slow motion or in front of a mirror—transform how you strike the ball.
