A Range Mat Injury Changed His Swing for Years... Here's What It Did to His Impact! A rainy day in Georgia, an old wrinkled range mat, a five iron... and the club stopped dead and tore the shoulder. From that moment, a flinch pattern developed. Lead ear drifting to the lead shoulder before impact, like bracing for pain. On video it shows up as the head throwing up and forward, the spine pulling up, and a left ball. But the bigger problem is the eye line... when the head moves that way it completely shifts the visual reference for where you're trying to swing. The cue that helps: keep the head behind it a little longer. One of the oldest cues in golf, but this is exactly why it exists.
