Your Complete Guide to Improving Your Stance in Golf

Most golfers you’ll meet in your life will admit to wanting to improve their game. Even the numbers agree with recreational players having an average score of 91. But what's the obstacle that's keeping us away from scoring better?

The answer is simpler than you might think— it's your golf stance.

One of the greatest golfers once said, “If you set up correctly, there's a good chance you'll hit a reasonable shot, even with a mediocre swing."

Your set-up position plays a massive role in your performance. Put your professional golf gloves on because today, we're presenting a complete guide on improving your stance.

Your Alignment

First, pay attention to your body's alignment. Your feet, knees, hips, shoulders, forearms, and eyes should all be set parallel to the target line. If you're a right-handed golfer, you should appear to be slightly aimed to the left of the target.

Check Your Feet and Toes

Most newbie golfers don’t realize that their toes are critical to their stance. Don’t make the mistake of pointing them at an angle excessively.

Start by placing your feet on a middle iron. Your feet should always be shoulder-width apart for the middle iron. For a short-iron stance, keep your feet two inches narrower and 2 inches wider for long-iron.

Angle out the front of your foot toward your target. On the other hand, rotate the back foot at a 90 degrees angle from the target. This allows your body to easily rotate toward the target.

Check Your Balance

Balance is essential if you want to have a winning stance. Always ensure you’re distributing your weight evenly between your heels and toes. We recommend shifting your balance slightly if you want to hit more powerful shots.
