Familiarize yourself with the ImpactStik
“Center of gravity” feel
• Get into a normal golf stance.
• Hold the ImpactStik close to the very end of the handle, in your
usual golf grip.
• At first, swing it slowly and lightly back and forth in front of you
to experience a sliding weight sensation. (You will feel a weight
sliding down the tube shaft as you swing, and then quickly
retract back).
• After a few of these loose back and forth swings, re-grip your
hands on the handle of the ImpactStik, holding it an inch short-
er (choked down). Swing it again back and forth in front of you.
The stick should feel lighter and easier to swing. Use more
wrist hinge to swing it.
• After a few swings, again re-grip your hands on the handle
holding the stick another inch shorter. The stick should feel
even lighter. Whip more with your hands and wrists as you
swing.
• Keep doing this until you have reached the bottom end of the
grip.
By changing your hand position on the grip, you change the
center of gravity of the ImpactStik. This will affect your swing
biomechanics in different ways. By changing your grip posi-
tion you can change the ratio of hands and wrists, arm, hip,
and large body movements.
