Stop Chunking and Blading Shots with the Strike Pad
If you struggle with fat shots, thin shots, or inconsistent contact, the problem is almost always poor balance and weight movement.
Most golfers sway off the ball instead of staying centered and rotating.
That causes the club to hit the ground too early or too late.
The Strike Pad fixes this by training your body to:
-
Stay centered in the backswing
-
Rotate instead of sway
-
Shift weight correctly through impact
This creates clean contact and consistent ball striking.
How the Strike Pad Works
The Strike Pad is a physical balance and weight-shift trainer.
When you stand on it:
-
You immediately feel if your weight moves wrong
-
Sway becomes obvious
-
Proper rotation feels natural
If you move incorrectly, the Strike Pad tells you instantly.
If you move correctly, your swing feels balanced and powerful.
It teaches your body what correct movement feels like.
How to Set Up the Strike Pad
Step 1: Place the Pad on the Ground
Put the Strike Pad flat on the ground.
Step 2: Foot Position
-
Lead foot (left foot for right-handed golfers) goes on the pad
-
Trail foot stays on the ground
This setup trains proper pressure shift into the lead side.
Step 3: Normal Swing Setup
Take your normal stance and grip.
No changes needed.
