Dr. Gary Wiren Impact Bag Golf Impact Training Aid

Product Information

A great way to gain strength and distance in your golf swing is by practicing with a golf impact bag. As the club head connects with the impact bag, you’ll be able to feel any imbalance in your swing path that you might not feel when connecting with a golf ball. You’ll also be able to feel when your hands are trailing the club head as you strike the bag. If you are looking for ways to improve your impact position, you may want to work with a coach to find a training method that works for you. Below are some of the golf tips and drills your coach may implement into your practice routine to help you improve your impact position. Impact Bag If you want an impact bag that has been at the top of its game for almost 40 years, then you can’t go wrong with the Dr Gary Wiren Golf Impact bag.

Typically, there are a few key characteristics indicative of an ideal golf impact position. Let’s take a closer look at the things you need to strive for at impact. Finding the Ideal Golf Impact Position With this drill, the goal is to push the bag slightly forward with the club head; the more you can push the bag forward, the better. When you’re able to move the bag up several feet that means you’re getting more weight to your lead side. The bag will help you understand how to use the ground and keep the body down through your entire swing. It will help provide the resistance to rotate around and through impact to finish your swing. The bag may have a zippered seam around the circumference of the top of the cylinder where you can add fill material. More commonly, a zipper seam or Velcro strip seam runs across the diameter of the top segment of the bag. Many people prefer the latter design over the former because, with the seam around the circumference of the top layer of the bag, you could inadvertently strike it with your club and damage the club. Handle

One side is set for a wedge (lots of lean), one for a 7 iron (a little less lean) and one for a driver (vertical shaft). The Impact Cube is made of an ultra-durable Ballistic Nylon. (If that is all we changed, it would be a huge improvement!) Next, we added a variety of angles to provide a fantastic visual and feel of the different leans and positions you practice. Fill it with towels and it is a solid 10 pounds- ideal weight and softness. The Impact Cube comes with a 12 month warranty. It's also important to understand what you should be aiming for, so let's start with an explanation of the proper body position you want to attain at the moment of impact. As Butch Harmon mentioned before, there are a lot of ways to get the club into a powerful impact position. But most golf instruction tries to teach a solid takeaway, not one that looks crazy like Matt Wolfe’s. The impact bag can also help with this so you can improve your takeaway and get the swing started out effectively. After 15-20 swings, make practice swings or hit shots if you’re at the driving range to feel the club come more from the inside. The club will feel very light compared to the bag and should make it easy to shallow the club. Next Step – Buy an Impact Bag
