Impact Bag

Problem

You want to see where your clubface is aimed but cannot stop the swing at impact in time to see it.

Cure

If you video tape your swing, it will allow you to pause to see the clubhead position along with your swing path and plane. However, you will get more immediate results if you were to hit into an impact bag. Once you can see where your clubface is positioned, decide where you want it to be. Practice with an easy swing and just focus on getting the clubface to finish square at impact. Then take note how your body is positioned.

Therapy

When using the impact bag, set one end of a club under the impact bag to help you aim. At impact, you want your forward arm and wrist straight. The center of your chest should be behind the bag and most of your body weight should be placed on your forward foot.
