Narrow Your Stance

Alex — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 22:50:18 +0000

The biggest change in my golf game last year was the ability to consistently be in play, and often in the fairway, off the tee. I made a subtle change to narrow my stance a little and I attribute that as a key to my new driving consistency.

My stance was too wide before, and as a result I would often be hanging back on my back foot (pulls, hooks) or lunging at the ball (pushes, slices). My narrowing my stance, I am keeping centered over the ball better with less lateral motion.

If you’re fighting a two-way miss, you might take a look at the width of your stance.

My Golf Swing, Mid 2007

Alex — Tue, 26 Jun 2007 06:33:23 +0000

I’ve been making some good progress on my swing this year, but I’ve still got some big things to work on:

Now that I’m more upright, I need to make my swing plane more vertical - it’s still down where it was when I was leaned over too far.
I’m getting too much wrist cock/early set - really need to work on that.
I’m bringing the club inside too much.
Need to work on not dipping into the ball - stay tall through the swing.

Gotta love golf, never run out of things that need improvement.

My Golf Swing, Early 2007

I’ve been working on tightening up my swing, still quite a bit to do. One area I’m getting better in is swinging to a balanced finish.

These videos are from a trip to Arizona at the beginning of the month. I wasn’t hitting the ball well at all, and was rusty from 2 months of snow:

This video is from yesterday, when I swung out of my shoes on the 18th hole enroute to an easy 85.

Current Swing (Video)

I videoed my swing this weekend for the first time this year. I’m over-cocking my wrists again, setting my feet too wide and diving at the ball a bit, but I’m hitting it really solid.

Definitely some stuff to work on here.
