Impact Positions for Different Clubs: It is essential that you understand what the optimum impact position is for each club, and what adjustments you need to make in your setup and swing to achieve these positions. Here we go over each group of clubs (short iron, mid-long iron, hybrid, fairway wood, driver) and discuss the best way to impact each. If you try to swing the same way with every club and succeed in doing so you will either be scooping your irons or hitting down on your driver.
