How to Use Handy Golf Mirror Mode to Check Your Pre-Delivery Position
Handy Golf Mirror Mode is a simple and effective way to check your pre-delivery position—the downswing checkpoint just before the club is delivered into the ball. This position can influence your club path, shot shape, and overall consistency.
Because every golfer is different, the ideal checkpoint should be based on what you and your coach are working on. Some players may need the shaft more outside, while others may need it more inside. For example, if you are working on hitting a draw, your coach may want the shaft to appear a little more inside at this stage of the swing.
Why Use Mirror Mode?
Mirror Mode helps you see the difference between what your swing feels like and what it actually looks like. A position that feels very exaggerated or unusual may simply be the correct movement you are trying to learn.
This is especially useful when practicing at home, because you can rehearse the movement slowly and compare your position to a reference image without needing to hit golf balls.
Step-by-Step: Checking Your Pre-Delivery Position
- Open HandyGolf Mirror Mode
Set up Mirror Mode so you can clearly see your swing from the correct angle. - Use a Reference Image or Frame
Select or use a reference image that matches the position you are trying to achieve. This should ideally be based on guidance from your golf coach. - Swing to the Top
Make your backswing and move up to the top of your swing. - Pause in the Pre-Delivery Position
Start your downswing and stop at the pre-delivery checkpoint. - Look Back at the Mirror View
Compare your current shaft and body position to your reference. Ask yourself whether the club is too far outside, too far inside, or matching the position you want. - Adjust Slowly
Rehearse the movement again at a slower speed. Move the club into the position you are working on, then check the mirror again. - Learn the New Feel
Pay attention to how the correct position feels. It may feel very different at first, but Mirror Mode helps you confirm whether that new feel is producing the correct movement.
Practice Tip
Do not assume that one pre-delivery position is correct for every golfer. Your ideal position depends on your swing pattern, desired ball flight, and coaching plan. Use HandyGolf Mirror Mode as a feedback tool to make sure your practice matches your intended swing change.
Key Takeaway
Mirror Mode is one of the best ways to work on swing changes away from the course. By stopping at your pre-delivery position and comparing it to a trusted reference, you can improve awareness, build better movement patterns, and understand the important difference between feel and real in your golf swing.
