The impact position in your golf swing is the moment when the clubface meets the ball, and achieving it correctly means arriving with hands ahead, weight shifted forward, hips open, and the clubhead square to your target. But here’s the paradox that trips up most golfers: impact isn’t something you create at the ball. It’s the natural result of positions you establish much earlier in your swing, particularly at the top of your backswing and during transition.
If you’ve been struggling with inconsistent ball striking, thin shots, or a nagging slice, the culprit is often a faulty impact position. The challenge …

Finding quality golf instruction in London, Ontario comes down to three essential elements: certified instructors with proven teaching credentials, lesson formats that match your learning style and schedule, and access to well-maintained practice facilities where you can apply what you’ve learned between sessions.
Key Takeaway: Prioritize instructors with PGA of Canada or CPGA certification, confirm the lesson structure offers both technical instruction and on-course experience, and verify that practice facilities include quality driving ranges and short-game areas you can access …

Nelly Korda’s golf swing has evolved into one of the most studied mechanics on the LPGA Tour, and understanding her two primary swing focuses heading into the 2026 season reveals why she maintains her position as World No. 1. The current world’s best player is working on staying “laid off at the top” of her backswing and achieving a more stacked position through impact, technical refinements that allow her to compress the ball with remarkable consistency and control shot shape with precision. These aren’t just professional-level adjustments reserved for tour players. Both concepts translate directly into …

Annika Sorenstam’s golf swing earned her 72 LPGA Tour victories and 10 major championships through a distinctive combination of exceptional shoulder rotation, precise takeaway mechanics, and a controlled around-the-ball downswing path. For golfers looking to improve their game by learning from one of the sport’s all-time greats, the key lies in understanding three foundational elements: her slow, low takeaway that sets the entire motion in rhythm, the deep shoulder turn that positions her left shoulder behind the ball at the top of the backswing, and the intentional arc she creates coming down and around toward impact.

Mastering Jimmy Stanger’s golf swing comes down to three proven fundamentals: proper footwork mechanics, understanding the relationship between launch angle and spin rate, and recognizing that the modern swing requires more than a simple turn-and-rotate motion. While Stanger continues to demonstrate his competitive ability on tour with precise iron shots and clutch putting, his approach to swing mechanics offers valuable lessons for golfers looking to improve ball-striking consistency and course management.
Stanger’s …

Charles Barkley’s golf swing has become one of the most famous (and infamous) movements in recreational golf, a hitch-filled motion that PGA TOUR analysts have documented in recent viral videos showing how dramatically his swing has changed through the years. What golfers can learn from Sir Charles goes beyond entertainment: his struggle with the “yips,” that exaggerated pause mid-swing that experts describe as something “stuck” in his brain disrupting tempo, offers a masterclass in what not to do and how to fix it if you’re already there.
The basketball legend’s swing isn’t just …

Wrist hinge in the golf swing refers to the controlled cocking motion of your wrists during the backswing and downswing, where the angle between your forearm and the club shaft narrows and then releases, creating clubhead speed and power. This fundamental movement separates casual golfers from those who strike the ball with authority and consistency. When properly executed, wrist hinge stores energy like a coiled spring, releasing through impact to generate effortless distance without the need for muscular force or overswing.
The mechanics are simpler than most golfers expect. Your lead wrist (left for right-handed players) hinges …

The most common culprit behind a broken golf swing is an over-the-top move at the start of the downswing, where your club approaches the ball from outside the target line instead of from the inside. This single flaw triggers slices, pulls, loss of distance, and inconsistent contact. The quickest diagnostic check is impact tape: pick some up from your local pro shop and stick it on your clubface. After a few swings, the contact pattern will show exactly where you’re striking the ball, revealing whether you’re hitting the heel, toe, or sweet spot.
If your tape shows heel strikes or a diagonal wear pattern from heel to toe…
