Proper Posture is a Vital Component

Today's blog is about posture. I remember someone asking Tiger what he thought the most important fundamental was. His response? "Posture." Proper posture allows your arms to swing freely and also enables your body to rotate at maximum speed. The general rule of thumb is that you should bend from the hips approximately 30-35 degrees. When you do this properly, the shoulders and knees are aligned directly over the insteps of your feet. This puts you in a solid position in good balance with your arms hanging softly and ready to swing the club back and through on the proper plane. Always remember that you must remain in this posture until well after impact. If you are moving up or down during the swing you will have to make compensation moves which will always result in inconsistency.
