If you’ve ever felt like your hips won’t turn, your chest gets “stuck,” or your swing feels restricted, the issue may not be your flexibility or your technique. It may be your stance width. The width of your stance determines how much freedom your hips and torso have to rotate and how stable you are…
Most golfers focus on what their arms and club are doing, but the ability to rotate and generate power starts from the ground up. One of the most overlooked setup details is foot flare, the angle your toes are turned in or out at address. Foot flare directly affects how freely your hips can rotate,…
You often hear that your weight should be “50/50” at address, but that advice is an oversimplification that can actually create problems for many golfers. Different clubs require different attack angles, different low points, and different body motions, which means they also require different pressure patterns in the setup. When weight distribution is wrong, the…
Most golfers think of stance as simply where their feet are placed, but stance alignment plays a major role in how the club travels through the ball and how the shot curves. Whether your stance is open, square, or closed influences swing path, body rotation, and how easily the clubface can return to the target….
Most golfers think of stance width as a comfort choice, but it plays a major role in balance, rotation, and how the club returns to the ball. The width of your base affects how well you can shift pressure, how freely your hips and torso can turn, and where the low point of your swing…
Most golfers look for fixes in the backswing or downswing, but many of the problems they fight are already locked in before the club ever moves. Poor posture at address quietly sabotages the swing by changing how the body can rotate, where the club can travel, and where the low point of the swing will…
Most golfers focus on what the club is doing, but the quality of your strike is largely determined by what your body is doing before the club ever moves. One of the most important and least understood pieces of the setup is spine angle at address. Spine angle refers to the forward bend of your…
Most golfers think of swing flaws as problems that happen during the motion, but many of the biggest issues begin before the club ever moves. One of the most common and overlooked setup errors is standing either too close or too far from the ball. Your distance from the ball determines your posture, how your…
Ball Position and Shot Shape Ball position does more than control contact and launch. It also influences the relationship between clubface and swing path at impact, which is what ultimately determines whether the ball curves left, right, or flies straight. Because the club is still closing as it moves through the bottom of the arc,…
Most golfers spend hours working on their swing mechanics, yet overlook one of the most powerful fundamentals in the entire motion: where the ball sits in their stance. Ball position seems simple, but it quietly controls your contact, launch angle, curvature, and even how your body is able to move through impact. If the ball…
