Benefits of the Impact Bag

You have probably seen an impact bag before, otherwise known as a Smash Bag. It looks something like this.

There a few major benefits from training with an impact bag, primarily being able to feel the main impact position. It helps you get your hands and weight forward and I have been LOVING using this lately. You can get it for $45 dollars on Amazon and it’s worth every penny. Just stuff a few old clothes or towels into it and you are ready to start learning what it feels like to hit solid shots.

You want to line up with the bag roughly off your lead big toe then do slow practice swings. Line up your club face with the bottom center of the club as well as the shaft with the shaft placement on the bag. Make sure your hands are forward and you are rotating your hips open.

I have a brief YouTube short of it in action. Give it a try!
