Original address position
-- Master - ( Changed 31/07/2007)
The golf swing that I describe throughout these lessons is based
on the ball being struck with the intention of it going in a straight
line as opposed to trying to draw
or fade the
ball.
Therefore in order to hit the ball straight to a specific target
point, at the address position you must make sure that the shoulders,
the hips and the feet are all aligned to the target point .
The only exception to this rule is when chipping the ball, it
that situation the feet are place in a slightly open position, which
causes the hips to be partially facing the target area at the address
position - however for all other shots, everything must be aligned
to the target point.
Upper Body Condition.
To clarify the correct upper body address position for all golf
shots, including pitching and chipping:-
It is important that the upper body is set so that it is slightly
tilted to the right, the left shoulder must be slightly higher than
the right shoulder, the shoulders must be set so that they are parallel
to the target line and the head must be slightly behind the ball.
Therefore it is absolutely vital that at the precise moment
the club head makes contact with
the ball, you must ensure that
the upper body unit remains in the original configuration as set
at the address position, i,e, the upper body is slightly tilted
to the right, the left shoulder is slightly higher than the right
shoulder, the shoulders are parallel to the target line and the
head is slightly behind the ball.
