Impact
Once you have familiarized yourself with feeling the ImpactStik’s changing of
the center of gravity, you are now ready to experience impact. Start with an
easy “trial” full swing and work up as follows:
• Hold the ImpactStik approximately half way down the grip. Swing easily, and
then continue to repeat the swing, increasing your speed each time until you
feel a definite impact inside the ImpactStik, and hear a distinct click or “whack”
sound. You may try choking down more on the grip if you find it hard to do this.
You should also try using more wrist movement in your swing to help achieve
impact.
• Now, swing it repeatedly 5-10 times, making sure that you click it each time.
• Change the position of your grip and swing it 5-10 times. Keep changing your
grip position up and down and swing the stick until you notice the difference
in changing the center of gravity of the ImpactStik as you change your grip
position.
• Holding the ImpactStik longer requires you to use more hip and large body mus-
cles to swing. It also requires you to do a bigger and fuller swing.
• Holding the ImpactStik shorter requires you to use more hands and wrists to
swing. It also requires you to do a shorter (three quarter), more compact swing.
You have now familiarized yourself with the feel of progressive resistance and
the variable center of gravity function of the ImpactStik.
