"This segment is on long drives and I've said this before, the ball knows all and the only thing the ball knows is impact. How square are you hitting it? How fast is that club head moving? Are you slicing it? Are you hitting it straight? Are you hitting it draw? The ball knows all and the only thing the ball knows is impact. We've gone through a few swing thoughts, hitting down a wall with a sledge hammer, a swing speed machine, hitting the ball solidly. Those are all impact swing thoughts but I just want to reiterate that what you do with the ball it's all the ball knows. And all you care about is where the ball goes. The ball knows, ball goes, there's a bumper sticker there, I don't know what it is yet. But if you have a focus of the ball and if you want to hit that ball hard, after taking that power stance, that power back swing, that power down swing, boom, it's all at the moment of truth, right at the ball. And the only thing the ball knows is impact. Start with that power stance, use everything going back, use everything going down, but don't forget that is where you want everything to explode. Boom! With controlled abandon at the ball. The ball knows all, the only thing the ball knows, boom, impact."
