The Golf Stance: Improve Your Golf Swing With This Key Setup Fundamental

Your golf stance is an important fundamental you need to have correct if you want to play your best golf. There are a few key checkpoints that are necessary in a good stance. This includes having your stance the proper width with all of your clubs. Where your weight is positioned is very important also.

Keys For A Great Golf Stance And Better Golf

THe golf stance is important to get correct in your setup to hit solid golf shots. Your feet need to be the right distance away from each other and the right distance away from the ball. We want our weight to be in the balls or center part of the feet. This helps the golfer get into a nice athletic setup position and also helps them maintain good balance throughout their swing.

How To Take Your Stance The Right Way In Your Routine

One tip in the golf shot routine that helps with getting the stance right every time is to walk into the ball a certain way. It helps if you can keep your feet closer together and set your club down behind the ball first. Then, once your club is set, take your stance by moving your feet the appropriate distance away.

A golfer who walks into the golf ball by setting their feet first and then putting the club behind the ball is causing a problem. They won't always be able to feel themselves get the correct distance away and they are doing this process backwards. Make sure to first set the clubhead down, and then the left foot and then the right foot. Making a few tiny steps as you get comfortable to ensure solid footing will help you as well. When your feet and legs are planted nicely, you are more confident to get your body cooperating in your golf swing.

With the irons, I like for golfers to have a stance width that is also about shoulder width. With the driver and woods, it's okay to have a slightly wider than shoulder width stance. The key is to adjust so that you have a good, solid base around which to swing and turn. A good stance will help you maintain good balance which will help your swing path and lead to better shots.
