If you've been colse to golf for a while, and have done some reading and some listening about the golf swing, you probably know that the key to the whole thing is what happens at impact. So you might have begun a study of what the strict impact position is supposed to be. I'd like to change your mental from "impact position" to "impact movement," and give you a strict narrative of how to do it.
The hypothesize I want to change your mental from a position to a movement, is because that's what it is. You move through impact, not stop there, and the strict movement through impact is what you need to couple into your swing.
The movement starts when your hands are even with the ball, that is, directly above the ball on a vertical line if you were seeing straight over the ball to the golfer. The trick is that impact has not yet occurred. The clubhead should still be a foot or so behind the ball. That's one key point.
The second key point is that as the hands continue moving, the right wrist (left wrist for left-handed golfers) remains bent backwards as the clubhead meets the ball. It has not straightened out yet. The left wrist, however, must be straight, or even bowed out slightly if you can, but that is a rare talent. Correspondingly, the left arm is straight, and the right arm is still bent slightly at the elbow. It's bent right arm, bent right wrist, and straight left arm, straight left wrist. These are a must.
In addition, weight is more on the left foot than the right and chronic to move in that direction (but don't overdo it, since this is an effect, not a cause), the hips and shoulders are opening, and the right foot is arrival off the ground. Throughout all this, the head is still. It must not move forward.
When the hands have moved about one foot past the ball, the clubhead will be about three to four feet past impact, and both arms and wrists will be straight for the first time in the swing. That's the end of the impact movement. The rest of the swing is the braking activity up to the close and can be whatever you want as long as you have moved through impact in the way I described.
You learn this movement, oddly enough, by practicing it and it alone. Start in the position described where your hands are directly in front of you and the clubhead is about a foot behind the ball. Now sweep the club through the ball in the manner described above. You'll be swinging the club only about five feet, but that's all that's necessary. Do it over and over and over.
Once you get used to sharp through impact in this way, you will find the rest of your swing setting up to make this movement with no explicit endeavor on your part. The consequent will be a long, straight shot.
