Golf Impact Bag® by Dr. Gary Wiren

The Impact Bag is the classic impact trainer created by Dr. Gary Wiren, PGA Master Professional. You swing into a soft, filled bag instead of a ball, and it stops the club at the moment that matters most, so you can feel and check your impact position on every rep.

Ships unfilled. Fill it firmly with old towels, blankets or clothes. Don't use sand or anything heavy.

What it trains

• Impact position. Hands ahead of the clubhead, forward shaft lean and a square face, the position behind solid, compressed strikes.
• Turning through the ball. Encourages your core and lower body to lead the club through impact rather than your hands.
• A firm lead side. Stops the lead wrist collapsing, which cures the scoop, the flip and the cast.

How to use it

Set the filled bag where the ball would be. Start with slow-motion swings, holding the finish at the bag to check your hands, shaft and body. Build speed gradually. Because the bag absorbs the strike, it's far safer than hitting a tire or other hard object.

Where to use it

Because you fill it yourself, it travels light. Use it at home, in the garage or at the range.
