Stance

Stance

During your tee shots or with your woods, your stance should be a little wider than shoulder width (measured by the inside of your heels). I recommend turning your lead foot towards the target slightly, while keeping your trailing foot perpendicular to the target line. By keeping your trailing foot square to your target, you are reducing hip turn. A restricted hip turn coupled with a full shoulder turn, can create resistance that leads to more power.

By turning out your front foot, you will be helping to create a fuller finish, as it makes it easier for your hips to clear through impact. As the clubs get shorter, your stance should get progressively narrower. Do not narrow your stance anymore than slightly inside shoulder width for your short irons. If your stance gets too narrow, it can lead to off balance shots and/or extra body movements because your base of support, is no longer stable.
