You Can't Teach Impact | Jimmy Ballard

Golf instructor Jimmy Ballard discusses why impact is a natural byproduct of a proper swing sequence rather than a position to consciously force. By focusing on a correct backswing and swinging through to a balanced finish, the ball simply gets in the way of the club.

• Impact is an outcome of proper movement, not a position you consciously recreate.
• Focus on executing a correct backswing and freewheeling through to a balanced finish.
• Visualize the ball as simply getting in the way of your full swing path.
