Perfect Impact with Your Irons Every Approach with this DVD
This is a setup routine to get you in exactly the right
position and distance from the ball every time with every
club.
Do you already have a proper golf setup routine? Well, this
is not any routine, it is one that gets you in exactly the
same position as the Pro’s. This routine is simple and
accurate.
Here we go. It is all related to the length of the club you
are about to use to hit the ball with.
The main benefit from this setup is that by setting
yourself up right to the ball it will give you plenty of
room to work in between you and the ball, rather than
getting all cramped up at impact.
Proper Golf Setup Instructions
This proper golf setup routine should ONLY be used on the
practice range, I don’t want you getting disqualified from
some big competition! Any significant change should be
practiced – you should never make big changes to your golf
swing during a round. Work it all out on the practice
range, check it works, then implement it. Only implement
this setup on the course once you can get the right
distance from the ball without laying your club on the
ground.
Choose the club you plan to hit the ball with – I would
recommend that your start to try this setup routine with a
7 iron.
The following instructions are for a 9 iron right through
to your long irons:
1.Lay the club down on the ground pointing away from your
body, that’s from your body when setup alongside the ball
in your normal stance, towards the ball.
2. Now move the club head (which should be closest to the
ball, away from your body) so that it is on the other side
of the ball. So as you look down to the ground you will see
the club shaft running away from you with the club head
wrapped around the other side of the ball.
3. Now move yourself to the ball and put one finger width
space between the ball and the clubhead as it is laid on
the ground.
4. Now move back to the butt end of the shaft.
5. Now take up your stance but this time line up the back
of your heels with the butt end of the club. This now sets
your feet the correct distance from the ball.
6. All you need to do now is keep you feet on the line
you’ve set them and pick your club up and address the ball.
7. WARNING: This proper golf setup gives you the correct
amount of bend at your knees. To get yourself balanced you
will need to push you butt out behind you, remembering to
keep your back straight and bend more over the ball.
8. WARNING: The first time you do this you may think you
are way too far away from the ball. I have checked this
setup and it is absolutely correct and matches the setup of
the worlds top pro’s.
9. WARNING: You may find it easier to change your golf
setup in small steps rather than go straight to this setup
– if the ball feels way too far away from you then
gradually increase the distance over a few rounds.
10. You need to practice the proper golf setup as described
above until you can do it without laying you club down on
the floor. Soon you will be doing this without even
thinking about it.
11. If you’re not certain that this is correct then go to
www.golfdigest.com and take a look at the swing sequences
and check it out – make sure the golfer you’re looking at
has an iron in their hands.
The Other Clubs
The only differences for the other clubs is that for clubs
shorter than your 9 iron you add another finger for each
club, two finger space for a pitching wedge etc.
For the driver, instead of the end of the butt of the shaft
being along the back line of your heels the end of the butt
should be around the middle of your foot.
Give this proper golf setup routine a try, you might be
nicely surprised at how much easier it is to hit the ball
with this extra room to work in.
