Use the Tennis Posture in Your Golf Swing Setup

Good posture allows your body to move correctly and stay balanced. Anne Rollo shows you how using the tennis posture will help your golf.

Posture in golf can be difficult to perfect but it is so important. Good posture allows your body to move correctly and stay balanced. It sets you up to hit the best shot possible.

This is a simple tip that can help achieve the correct, dynamic and athletic posture you need for good golf.

Imagine you are receiving a serve in tennis…in a fairly serious game, you have your weight on the balls of your feet, your knees are bent, your back is flat, and your head is up and alert, waiting for the serve. It’s almost exactly the same as the best posture position for golf.

Golf posture is just a ready to go, athletic and dynamic position that sets you up to hit the best possible shot you can.

The next time you set up, imagine you are receiving a serve in tennis and pop the club head down on the ground and you should be just about right to hit your shot.
