Your stance is vitally important to fix and get correct to improve your golf game so I have given you some quick tips to complete the proper golf stance setup. The golf stance you use really affects the flight of your golf ball which will considerably influence where your golf ball will end up.
When you consistently adopt an incorrect stance so are not properly facing your target it will not matter what other aspect you fix, the ball will never go in the intended direction. So practicing your stance, firstly at home in front of a mirror and then on the driving range, is a must to perfect the proper golf stance setup. Don't worry with enough practice at home and at the driving range your golf stance will become completely natural.
When your stance and body position is quite poor to the target this can ensure a slice will occur and during your downswing your club will go outside the ball-to-target line which will likely get you into trouble and it will be extremely hard to stop the slice from happening.
Here is how to fix your golf stance.
Before even trying to hit the ball you should ensure that you're set-up correctly. During your pre-shot routine go behind the ball and select your target which can be a set area on the fairway where you are looking to hit the ball, or a section of the driving range. Make sure you setup your club towards your chosen target line first, then ensuring your body (hips, feet and shoulders) are parallel to the target line.
To quickly check that your hips, feet and shoulders are parallel to your target line use one of your golf clubs as an aid, this can be put on the ground and pressed against the back of your feet. You can then check the club to see if it is in line with the target. If the club is not on target re-address your stance until it is.
Your golf stance should be about as wide as your shoulders, with your right foot pointing straight and your left foot slightly to the left. Make sure both of your elbows hang down very relaxed. Get this right and you are on your way to hitting the ball straight.
Ensuring you have the correct golf stance is attainable providing you follow the proven tips in this article. Ensuring you have the proper golf stance setup is not a dream or only for the professional golfers. Use these tips and soon you will be hitting the golf ball straighter and longer.
