• Make sure your lower body is firmly planted throughout the
swing. If you experience lower body float, bend your knees
more and maintain flexion throughout the swing.
• Try and relax your body as the stick pulls your arms and body
into the follow through position. Find your balance at the finish
of your swing and hold yourself in that position for 3-5 sec-
onds. Swing 10-20 times.
• Swing in front of a mirror and check to see if you are swinging
correctly. If you are not sure of what a good swing is, consult a
teaching professional.
Once you can easily make half swings and clicking the ImpactStik
feels effortless, focus on swinging with control and authority.
• Squeeze the grip firmly as you approach impact. Try to be very
firm and deliberate with the motion of your hands and wrists
through and beyond impact. Gripping firmly as you impact the
ImpactStik triggers and grooves subcortical muscle firing pat-
terns for the hands and wrists. This is one of the most valuable
features of the ImpactStik. Most amateurs relax their hand-
grip pressure during impact, thereby, losing up to 30 percent of
clubhead acceleration power. This results in poor power trans-
ference of clubhead to ball.
You can now progress to making fuller swings.
• Grip the ImpactStik a little bit longer. You will notice the stick
will feel heavier. Start incrementally extending more of your
backswing. If you feel your body kinesthetic linkage break down
(losing your groove), then go back to your shorter core motion
module swing.
• Continue to swing smoothly and with authority. Grip the
ImpactStik longer and longer. You will use a little bit less wrist
motion as you hold it longer. You will also notice that you
engage more of the lower body muscles.
Your swing should feel compact and efficient. After 10-15 vigor-
ous full swings holding the ImpactStik at full length, grip the han-
dle short again and finish off by swinging easy 10-15 times.
