Checkpoint: Impact

AI

In golf, impact is the decisive moment when all the energy of your swing is transferred to the ball. With our AI trainer, you can see where your positioning is lacked. Understand more here.

Impact is the decisive moment when all the energy of your swing is transferred to the ball. If precision at this point is lacking, it can lead to significant differences in distance, direction, and spin, which is why proper positioning is critical. Build a stable and reliable impact feel with AI Trainer.

The AI Trainer has 12 checkpoints at Impact:

Two images illustrating correct (left) and incorrect (right) golf swing posture, highlighting head and spine alignment.

Head lifted

The head is lifted and away from the chest compared to the set up.

Head dropped

The head is lowered and positioned into the chest compared to the set up.
Golf swing posture comparison: proper head stability (left) versus incorrect head lift and shift (right).

Head away from target

At impact, the head moves in the direction opposite to the target.

Paying attention to these key areas when making impact with the ball is cruical in order to making the cleanest contact possible. It's important to note that while you can of course use the AI trainer feature with any club, currently the driver and 7-iron have integrated modes available. What this means is that the AI Trainer’s evaluation criteria may vary depending on the selected club type during the session. As we improve and update our AI Trainer, more features will be available to use to help you achieve more satisfying and confident swings. Check in periodically on these pages for any new features available through the AI trainer. We appreciate your continued interest and support!
