BREAKPOINT 7: IMPACT
As the hands, shoulders, hips and body together move into impact, the club is
released with the hands ahead of the ball and the clubface square. Hips will be
approximately 30-45 degrees open to the target line and the shoulders about 5
degrees open. The left leg should be slightly flexed but in the process of
straightening. Because of the weight shift, the right heel will be pulled slightly off
the ground. The head remains behind the ball, right arm is extending while the
wrists are uncocking.
A. Upper body has fallen away from target, no weight shift to the left and no body turn
(reverse pivot).
B. Head is in front of the ball. Upper body slides through toward target.

BREAKPOINT 6: PRE-IMPACT

line with the toe of the club skyward. The wrists continue to remain cocked
forming a 90-degree angle with the club shaft and the left forearm.
A. Weight has swayed too far towards target. Trying to swing too far from the inside
(shaft on plane).
B. Wrists have unhinged prematurely, forcing the club shaft outside target line.
