Golf Swing Impact Position Tips For Hitting Consistent Golf Shots

Correct golf swing impact position is an important part of having good golf swing technique. The key at impact is to leverage your power and have your body, arms, and club all come through the ball together at the impact position.

Some common mistakes at impact include coming up or out of your shot. Opening the upper body too early towards your target is another error that can lead to a weak impact position and errant golf shots.

There are a few good keys at the impact position in the picture below:

At impact, my hands are slightly ahead of the ball and my weight has shifted to my left side. The hips are slightly turned open but my shoulders remain square to my target line. Keeping your shoulders square at impact will allow you to swing your golf club down and through the target line easier. This will help lead to a more powerful and effortless golf swing that you can repeat consistently.
