Push down, pull up to feel impact hand pressure

The instructor describes an impact drill using a mobility stick. Into impact you push down with the right (trail) hand and pull up with the left (lead) hand, so you can feel the handle of the club pushing or pulling up while the trail side pushes down on the stick, and then get your body into the proper impact position.

Try it

  1. you push down with the right and pull up with the left
  2. the handle of your golf club therefore is pushing or pulling up
  3. your trail side is pushing down on the mobility stick
  4. then you get your body into the proper impact position

Why this context matters

Uses a bendable mobility stick; she later notes an alignment rod can substitute.
