Tips for a Proper Setup
Position Over Shoelaces: Ensure that your pressure points are aligned over your shoelaces rather than your heels. This alignment helps maintain balance and allows for a more stable swing.
Get Close to the Ball: Adjust your stance so that you are positioned directly over the ball. This proximity helps in maintaining posture and balance throughout the swing.
Tips for Your Takeaway
Proper Hand Movement: To avoid falling onto your toes, focus on dragging your hands straight back during the takeaway. This movement should feel as though your hands are gliding right over an imaginary shaft laid down on the balls of your feet. This technique helps maintain balance and keeps your posture intact.
Avoiding the Domino Effect: If your hands move away from your body, it creates a domino effect that can lead to losing posture. By keeping your hands close and moving them straight back, you can prevent this issue and set yourself up for a successful backswing.
