One of my favorite training tools when teaching golfer’s is “The Impact Ball”. This ball works great for those who may overuse or use their wrists incorrectly when taking the full swing or when putting. It is also very effective to use when chipping and pitching. This training aid has been named by Golf Digest, as one of the top training aids of 2007. I started using this ball with seniors when I was at The Villages and found it to be very successful for many of my students. Not only is it comfortable and light enough to use by anyone, it’s colorful too! This lightweight ball, is placed between your forearms to help the golfer feel the correct arm and wrist motion through the swing. You will soon begin to hit the ball with more consistency, and with cleaner contact. Stop by at Carl’s at St. John’s to see what I am talking about. Better yet, sign up for a lesson and let’s see how The Impact Ball will work for you. For more information or see a quick video, click on to their web site at www.theimpactball.com.
