Exercise 5 - Two Arm Swing
Now let’s put everything together and practice a regular full
swing.
• Set a golf club on the ground and position it in a 15-25 degree
inside-out swing plane path. Take a normal square stance.
• If you have an outside-in swing problem, pull your right foot
back about 2-5 inches.
• Hold the ImpactStik with a normal two-handed golf grip.
• Start by holding it near the bottom end of the grip. Holding the
ImpactStik in this position moves the center of gravity closer to
the hands and wrists, giving the body the sensation of the stick
being lighter. This makes it easier to hinge your wrists.
• Start with easy, smooth half swings. Half swings will teach you
the bare, essential movements and muscle-firing sequence to
make good ball contact. The half swing is the core motion mod-
ule of the golf swing. Try to deliberately slow down your move-
ment and swing in a slower tempo.
The purpose of the ImpactStik is to groove a swing that is efficient
in motion and energy. If you can click the ImpactStik with the
least amount of effort and economy of movement, you will devel-
op a more stable and repeatable swing. If you start to swing hard
in the beginning, you will continue to reinforce bad habits. A good
golf swing is always relaxed and seemingly effortless.
If you have bad swing habits, slowing down your swing tempo
helps to re-groove new muscle memory.
• Make sure you are swinging on an inside-out swing path.
Always lead the downswing by laterally moving your left hip
first. Then tuck your butt in as your arms and hands start to
pull down. You will notice that you have to use more wrists to
successfully click the stick. Make sure your hands are in the
region of your left thigh when “impact” occurs. Your hands
should be 1-2 inches ahead of the end of the stick when it
impacts.
• Swing through the impact point. The momentum of the sliding
weight should pull your whole body into a full follow through
and finish.
