Pre-Set Impact Drill

The purpose of this drill is to create the feeling and look of the correct impact condition at setup, which will help develop a more consistent return to impact.  Beginning this drill starts with establishing your normal setup to the golf ball.  Now, create your impact condition by establishing a small amount of rotation in your legs and hips, a small amount of air under your trail heel, while keeping your upper body square to the target line.  Ensure the club head is resting behind the ball, now create a slight lean in the club shaft towards the target.  This can be done by pushing and straightening your trail arm which will create the lean in the club shaft forward towards your target.  Make sure your head is behind the golf ball at this starting point of this drill.  You have now setup in a normal fashion, you’ve created the sensation of what impact needs to look and feel like.  Now, you are ready to make a small swing away from the ball returning the club back into impact.   Just after contact when you have reached the point where your arms are extended and the club shaft is in line with your forearms.  Hold and evaluate your finish position at Post Impact, ensure both arms are straight and extended out, while your trail wrist is maintained in a bent position.  This drill will help you hit shots solid, 20-30 yards with a lower trajectory is recommended and ideal.
