Setup and impact are not supposed to match. See how the best in the world do it. #golf

Hit Bombs demonstrates the critical visual and mechanical differences between a golfer's setup and impact positions. By analyzing the swings of elite professionals, the video highlights how hip clearance, weight shift, and shaft lean create a dynamic impact that looks nothing like the initial address.

• Impact is a dynamic movement, not a return to the static setup position.
• The hips should be significantly more open (rotated toward the target) at impact than at address.
• Weight must shift to the lead side to ensure a downward strike and proper compression.
• Hands should be ahead of the ball at impact, creating 'shaft lean' for better ball-striking.
• The spine angle remains consistent, but the body's rotation changes the look of the posture.
