This week we thought you might enjoy a recent interview Bobby did with one of golf’s great personalities, Michael Williams. Enjoy!
I have so many swing thoughts in my head, I’m having trouble “pulling the trigger “, Help me get out of this embarrassing funk!
Steve,
I hear this a lot from my students. The problem is that all who suffer from this malady don’t have an “impact-based®” perspective and try to solve their problems through a sequence of swing thoughts that aren’t directly related to improving what is wrong with their impact. The more things they try, the worse it gets until total confusion and frustration results and many unfortunately quit the game. Impact-Based® approach is the fastest and most direct way to improvement. Our students are initially assessed in their areas of impact that need the most improvement are immediately diagnosed. I suggest enrolling in my next Signature Golf School which I will lead from start to finish. Go to: http://www.impactzonegolf.com/schools for details. To better impact, Bobby
Bobby, I watched your swing to show that your heard was not watching the ball and it was clear to me that at impact, your head and eyes were pointed at the ball. Try a real slow motion of your swing to see if I am right or wrong
Tony,
Golf is a very individual game and each golfer has a unique way of getting into their dynamic impact. Because of my efficient Load, Lag and Workhorse sequence, I’ve always been able to point my head at the ball. Keep in mind I use and suggest for all golfers, to have a “soft-eye” approach and not be focused on the ball. For many golfers, looking in front of the ball is distracting, but it can be a very effective drill to feel what is needed to improve Dynamic #2. This is especially true for golfers who have been playing golf for many years and have bought into the lie that “focusing or (keeping your eye) on the ball” is a good thing. The more you focus on the ball, the more interference occurs in the impact sequence, the more rearward your swing bottom (Dyn #2) will be.
Great insight. It works for me. Thank you.

If you are not suppose to look at the ball, what should you be looking at on the load and then on the lag through impact?

Makes sense
