Variable Center of Gravity, Progressive Resistance, and Human Neuromuscular Physiology
The ImpactStik was designed to work synergistically with human neuromuscular physiology. Human body movements are con-
trolled by both our conscious (cortical) and unconscious (subcortical) minds. Our conscious (cortical) mind, which operates up
to approximately 0.6 second, cannot attend the event of the downswing which happens in approximately 0.25 second. For this
reason, the golf downswing is mostly controlled and performed by our unconscious (subcortical) mind. Most amateur golfers
cannot recall what actually happens during impact.
This fact—that the golf swing is performed mostly by our unconscious mind—is the reason why it is so difficult to learn the
golf swing.
Our unconscious mind, which operates under different rules than our conscious mind, functions via pre-programmed muscle
firing sequences commonly known as “muscle memory”. These “muscle memories” can only be reprogrammed by neuromuscular
stimulation.
The innovative design of the ImpactStik provides the mechanical attributes necessary to correctly effect powerful changes at
the subcortical neuromuscular level.
