Alright, so I’ve been trying to get my golf swing down, specifically that impact position like Tiger Woods. You know, that moment right before the club hits the ball? Yeah, that’s the sweet spot I’m after.
I started by watching a bunch of videos online. There was this one analysis video that caught my eye, and it got me thinking about hand positions. I spent hours just watching how Tiger does it.
Then I found this other video talking about a split-grip drill. The guy was going on about how important your hands are at impact, it was really detail about how to do it. There is a timeline in the video.
- 0:00 Intro
- 0:13 Hand positions at impact
- 1:34 Close up of hand positions
- 2:11 Split grip drill
Honestly, it took me a while to get the hang of it, but I kept practicing. I tried to copy what I saw in the videos, moving my hands this way and that. It felt awkward at first, but I could slowly feel myself getting closer to that Tiger-like position.
I also read up on some tips. I learned that Tiger’s had a huge impact on golf, not just with his wins but also with his foundation, the TGR Foundation. They’ve helped millions of kids, which is pretty cool.
After all that watching and reading, I decided to actually practice the swing. I went out to the driving range and just started swinging. I kept reminding myself to check my hand position. I think I watched that split-grip drill video like a hundred times that day! There was this other video about the Rotary Swing Tour move that I tried to incorporate too.
It’s still a work in progress, to be honest. But I’m definitely seeing improvement. My swings feel more powerful, and I’m hitting the ball straighter. It’s not quite Tiger level yet, but I’m getting there. And it doesn’t matter if you’re a newbie or you’ve been playing for years, this stuff can really help your game.
Anyway, that’s my little journey trying to master the Tiger Woods impact position. It’s been a lot of trial and error, but it’s been fun. And hey, if I can do it, anyone can! You’ve just gotta put in the time and effort.
