The Pre-Set Impact Drill You Can Do Indoors

This is a great drill from Maria Palozola for learning to return the club to the ball with perfect impact alignment maximizing both control and distance.

Step by Step

First, take a club and set up in your address position.

Next, without making a backswing simply forward press yourself into your impact position. Note that impact is totally different than address. At impact, your hips should be turned towards the target with your weight shifting onto your front foot and your back heel raising a bit off the ground. Your head should still be slightly behind the ball and shoulders square to your target line.

At this point, your hands will be slightly ahead of the clubhead with the shaft leaning towards the target.

Spend a few minutes going back and forth from address to impact to get a feel for the different positions.

Once you’ve got the hang of it try making a full backswing (if you have room) and returning the club to the new perfect impact position you have learned. After some time, this feel will translate to your full shots on the golf course.

I’m really enjoying this membership. The lessons are helpful and the camaraderie is unique and special.

I joined a couple of weeks ago. I really like that the lessons are short and only address one thing. So often you are tied in knots after getting too many instructions. Glad I joined.

A year later...and I still love all I’m learning from this group!

I am really impressed with Women's Golf and couldn't be more pleased with my membership and all of the great resources I can access.

Thank you for such a wonderful resource! I just joined and am so thankful for you and the other women golfers in this community.

I just wanted to pop on and tell you how grateful I am that you have a lesson on the scorecard and handicap! I am really enjoying your website and the facebook social group.
