Posture Posture is the term used to describe how a golfer stands to the ball. The golfing posture has been evolved with the aim of maximising balance, poise and the athletic potential at address. The aim is to carry these qualities over into the swing to maximise power and control.
Posture involves the relative positioning of the ball, club and body parts.
Incorrect posture leads to a loss of balance, co-ordination and control in the swing which inevitably produces poor golf shots. Balance is the key to the golf shot which is why no-one could hit with any quality or consistency off a single stilt. A consistent routine should be adopted to find and maintain the correct posture. The routine used must be the same for all clubs initially even though the angle of the spine will change slightly with club length. Step 1 .
