If you begin with a poor golf stance, you will in all probability follow with a defective golf back swing, a defective downswing, and a defective follow through. Not to worry though. It is simply not that hard! Your golf stance might not be ideal, but you are able to compensate by staying well-balanced and relaxed. Your weight ought to be equally distributed over your left and right leg. If you are able to pick either of your feet off the ground, you are not well-balanced.
Begin by positioning the inside of your front foot just in front of the ball. As you are going to be utilising a driver or 3 wood, the front and back feet ought to be shoulder width or slightly more than shoulder width apart.
Next, bend at the top of the legs (keep your back straight) and then bend slightly at the knees. The kneecaps will be immediately above the balls of your feet. The angle of your back to the ground will be about forty-five degrees. Your arms ought to be hanging straight down from your shoulders.
Effective posture counts. Keep your back straight but do not tense up. You may think of it as pushing your back pockets higher.
Your weight ought to be on the balls of your feet, not on the toes or heels. Also, your weight ought to be evenly distributed between your front and back foot. Now you ought to be more comfortable and less tense. If you are out of balance, you are falling down. That is no way to begin an effective golf swing.
A line drawn across the front of your feet ought to point to your target. You might wish to check this by 1st positioning your club up against the toes of your feet and then step backwards and ascertain if the club is genuinely pointing to your target. This is your target line and your knees, hips, and shoulders ought to also be parallel to this line.
One little adjustment will be the position of your shoulders. Once you assume the correct golf stance and grip, your club and left arm will make a straight line between your shoulder and the ball. For this to occur, your right shoulder will be slightly lower to the ground than the left, but a line through your shoulders ought to still be parallel to the target line.
When you grip the club and take your stance at the ball, find a method to relax and loosen up prior to you beginning your swing. You might want to waggle the club – just a little bit. Now you are ready to swing.
