Correct Width Or Stance

Each person is different in figure and personal strength.Another important thing to remember besides the width of your stance is the degree of bending your upper body.You will need to bend the body to see the ball but at the same time you 'll have to remember that you will have to twist your body to swing the club.When you bow your head remember to keep your back straightened from your waist upwards.Refer to the diagram above.You will have to adjust your stance to suit your own physical conditions.As you use golf clubs with a higher number,your stance shoud be narrower - the following may help:

The DRIVER SHOT - Find the width between your two feet when you are walking fast. This width should be suitable for hitting the ball far as it is the same as when as when you see your body movement fully when you walk fast.

The APPROACH SHOT - Find the width between your feet when you walk slowly.With this widthyou should feel very relaxed.This is good for the delicate movement required for the shot approach shot.
