Sweet Stuff

Impact Improver

Never before has indoor golf practice been as popular as it is today. With many parts of the country (and the world) shutdown—and not just because of the time of year-- but because of the pandemic—players are looking to keep in shape and get their practice swings—even at home.

A simple and inexpensive practice tool called the Impact Improver is catching on with many players who not only want to practice swinging a club indoors, but also get instant feedback on how well they are hitting the ball.

This simple device--consisting of a Strike Shied that fits on your club, soft Velcro impact balls that will stick to the shield at the point of impact and give quick feedback on how close to the sweet spot you are hitting the ball--is far superior to just swinging freely in hour home or swinging onto a mat without anything to hit, which is what many people end up doing. The balls give you a nice soft, small target to hit at and the feel and sound of actually striking the ball.

“I am thrilled that we have created a product that is so simple to use while delivering tremendous benefit,” said Tiffany Faucette, the inventor of Impact Improver. “Practicing indoors with feedback is one of the best ways to develop feel and body awareness.”

Faucette is a Top 50 LPGA Teacher and inventor of the Impact Improver. Prior to her teaching career she was the #1 Ranked

Amateur in the Titleist/golfweek rankings and played professionally worldwide for eleven years.

Due to all her years of playing competitive golf, on the road, she knows the benefits of indoor practice. After the idea of the Impact Improver came to her while practicing in her own basement, she worked with top experts in the design field. She also called upon other Top 100 Teachers to help her with the Impact Improver.

She noted that the closer you hit the ball to the sweet spot the club will resist twisting and will produce higher ball speeds—and longer shots. She added that striking the sweet spot is the key to great golf. When you use the Impact Improver you get instant feedback on each swing because the ball sticks to the shield telling you if you struck the sweet spot or not. This information allows you to self-learn and sense which movements in your swing help you hit the sweet spot, and which do not.

The Impact Improver comes with the strike shield that fits easily over 90% of right-handed clubs—it snaps on and snaps off. A facilitator tool comes with it to assist taking the shield off if there is a tight fit. Three of the impact balls are provided and the entire package comes in a premium zipper case that fits easily in a golf bag. It can also easily be taken on a trip and used in a hotel room—or anywhere you can swing a club.
