Understanding Impact Variables for Better Performance

To improve performance, understanding impact variables is crucial. Start by building a clear understanding of impact factors that influence ball flight, such as strike centering, club face alignment, swing path, angle of attack, and club speed. Once you grasp how impact affects the ball's flight, you can build your golf swing around these factors, focusing on altering your style while keeping impact accuracy as the primary goal.
