Fabulous Tips For Getting A Proper Stance For Your Golf Swing

More than just about anything in golf, it is a proper stance for your golf swing that has a direct impact on the contact you make with the golf ball. Proper balance and posture are crucial parts of the stance that will make a big difference on your game. Here are a few of the most important components of a proper stance for your golf swing.

First of all, you need to make sure you have good balance. Proper balance
will allow you to hit the ball with the center of the clubface.

Always make sure you align the club face first. Then, you can align your
body properly.

When you address the ball, make sure your hands are around four inches
from your body.

Though you should watch the ball, you should keep your head posture up.

At address, make sure your elbows are bent slightly inward.

Keep your knees bent minimally

Keep your chin up

If you are right handed, keep the right knee flexed slightly but stable.
Also, do not

let it slide or lock out during the swing itself.

Do not put the ball too far forward. Even on a drive, when the ball is “up”
in your stance it should be aligned with your left shoulder.

For maximum distance, make sure you play the ball far enough out from your
body so that you can get full extension of your arms and thus more power.

A basic rule of thumb with proper stance for your golf swing is the longer
the club you are using is, the more your left foot should be flared out in
your stance. Short irons should have a perpendicular foot, while a driver
should have it flared out about 45 degrees.

Keep these simple tips in mind to prep yourself for a proper stance for your golf swing.
