Changing Your Address

10:49 am May 29, 2009

Many people these days believe that golf becomes easier when you
isolate & eliminate swing problem variables…

A. The Old Advice

The traditional theory for hitting irons believed that “..as the loft of
the club is increased, the position of the ball address should be
shifted to the right. And, your stance should become more & more
open.”

Every club, therefore, required its own stance.

B. Today’s Advice: KIS

The system that most professionals use today is much simpler. In
this system, the right foot is moved closer to the left as the loft of the
club increases. And the ball is positioned slightly closer to the golfer
because the shaft of the club is shorter.

But, regardless of the club being used, the stance is always kept
square to the line of flight. And, the ball is always played off the
heel.
