This SET UP Mistake Is Killing Your Distance and Strike Consistency In Golf

this setup mistake is wrecking your golf please please please avoid this at all costs so I see so many golfers when they set up to the golf ball do it incorrectly one of the main things they do wrong is get the relationship between the lower and upper body Incorrect and the levels of the pelvis what we see is basically if you imagine my belt buckle or my lower Hub as I would call it would be to the right of this rod in the ground and my stering would be more on top of or even to the left in the ground so we get this kind of what I would call Twisted spine shape address what that creates is basically the right hip high the right rib cage low in attempt to get the head kind of level or behind the golf ball and it creates that what we would call curve migrated scoliosis if you like which basically means it's very difficult to make rotation or shift pressure correctly in the back swing what tends to happen then is from this setup is we tend to get a lot of sway off the golf ball or we get lack of rotation or even start of what we would see is left Bend now when we get lack of rotation or too much left Bend in the golf swing what that tends to lead to then is a golf swing that's over the top and gives us big slices big poles Fades and really poor contact it can present the shank or the heel of the club to the ball causing a shank and also when we start down this way generally if we've got some Talent OR skill you'll tend to lean back back and fish for the golf ball again causing fats and thin shots so this setup mistake in terms of your levels of your body causes so many issues there's one more set mistake I want to talk about then we'll talk about the fixes the routines you can get into to make sure you address the ball perfectly every time to allow your swing to develop in the correct way and I'll give you two routines one more complex and one you can try and use on the golf course and kind of get ready to hit shots very quickly with it the other set mistake I tend to see is when people address the golf ball this right arm tends to be on top of the left arm causing the shoulder alignment to be open and also then from that position either making the club get picked up or causing a lot of forearm and wrist roll in the takeaway to try and get the golf club back on its correct Arc so we want to give ourselves as much chance as we possibly can of getting the club back on the right Arc and turning behind the golf ball to allow the sequence of the down swing to be automatic it's really hard to try and change down swings in golf but to change a back swing is something that we could all do and we can even do this consciously by trying to stand the right way or start the swing the right way that is something we've got a far bigger chance of making a change to immediately and longterm to make us play better golf okay so the fix the first thing I want you to do is take the club Put it across your groin roughly about halfway down down your pockets stick your thumbs into your sides this is where we're going to try and feel like we Bend from then from there stand as tall as you can neck everything tall bend over that club till you feel you're about to topple when you feel you're about to topple just Flex those knees and cover a couple of shoelaces the last thing I want you to do and this is the important thing really for this I want you to feel like your left hand goes towards Target and goes up a fraction keep the head in the same location if you can what this does is starts to set the spine and the hip levels so the hip levels and the lower part of the spine here get straight and aligned to allow the body to be able to rotate correctly allow that rib cage to function correctly when this is short and squash like we described earlier it doesn't want to move so what happens then you get the sway or you get the lack of rotation when we set this in the right position we then get the opportunity then to make a back swing and let the arms connect to that back swing and find their natural place without trying to force positions in the goall swing so this is the complex way so feet shoulder width apart toes out stretch stand as tall as you can bend from this location Flex his knees hips forward arms on the club and if anything right arm just tuck in so we're in that kind of dumbbell position that would be how I'd want you to stand to the golf ball each and every time that's the best way of allowing your golf swing to have a Fighting Chance of moving the correct way now for the golf course that's going to be far too much to do so what i' suggest you do is on the practice area you do that kind of once every 10 balls for a few weeks till you get used to how it feels then adapt a more natural approach on the Range but on the golf course a natural approach is what we're going to look to do straight away so I want you to do is basically take a rough stance Stand Tall Club parallel to the ground Bend and bow from the hips Flex the knees bump the hips and then from that position if we can also just tuck the arm in the touch but from that position we're then going to swing and we're going to try and get in that bend and bow routine and hit the ball fairly quickly without dwelling on it while we're playing the golf course to allow us to have the best chance of not making the set mistake that kills your golf that kills distance kills accuracy and really kills contact as well so make sure you try this straight away for instant results
