Impact! – Watch the Collision of the Clubhead and Ball

Deb Vangellow from the Riverbend Country Club in Houston has a quick swing thought to help you swing through the ball not hit at it.

We have all heard it. The well-intentioned advice of “keep your head down”. Keeping your head down in a static sense is an unnatural and tense position.This is because keeping your head down rigidly restricts the free swinging motion of your body through the ball. You could easily wind up hitting at the ball rather than swinging through it.

Instead, try to “watch the collision” of the clubhead and ball. This thought will help keep your spine angle constant and your focus of attention on the ball. When the weight shifts and the rotation of the body occurs, the right shoulder passing under your chin will help your head come up after impact so that you can follow the flight of the ball, getting to the optimal balanced finish position.

Remember, impact occurs during the swing, not at the end of it. Let the ball get in the way of the swing by watching the collision, not by keeping your head down. We want to look at that great shot after we hit it, not while we are hitting it.
