rule on teeing off with wired stance

[golfdub]

im sure there is no rule but just in case. last night in bed i was thinking of trying a wired stance with my driver for today. so today i tried it on the first hole in a friendly and i hit it dead straight and about 240-250 yards. the stance is right leg in normal postion and my left left way behind me in a wide stance in which allows my drivers to impact at a great angel but on a flat plane on the back swing. i done in total of 3 times on the course and it worked every time. if you saw me teeing up like this you would probably think wtf is this guy doing but it worked every time without doubt. i dont plan on using it all the time but just until i get some better advice on getting some consistency.

i will post a pic later when i get home.

and NO the ruling aint for the bed part ....lol

Cant see there being a ruling on this but the stance seems like a recipe for a slice but if it works so be it

I think he means weird or wide. Either way it is a very strange way to set up to hit a shot.

Thanks, I managed to work that bit out. It's the left foot way back in a wide stance which gives a flatter plane on the backswing that got me?

I know, why anyone would want to do this on purpose is more than a bit odd.

If you put all his postings together on different threads this evening, it's more than a bit odd.

I suspect Bobmac is trying, as I, to work out how anyone can make a flat back swing from the position described. I would suggest its impossible for a normal human.

Think the OP has had more than enough pop tonight personally.

A Derbyshire saying for the blokes p$$$$d, your not suggesting he's on another substance are you

 

[RGDave]

the stance is right leg in normal postion and my left left way behind me in a wide stance in which allows my drivers to impact at a great angel but on a flat plane on the back swing.

I have visions of slicing the ball straight into the cabbage at either Brent Valley or Perivale. Alternatively, you might find the car park at West Mid.



If standing open means you cream it down the middle, who cares! Enjoy....

I know unreal isn't it, wide open stance and staight shots I would be on another fairway or on the road if it were me.

Of course not lol

Not that I would disagree with you if you were Seriously though a very strange post a way to hit a Drive by the OP. Still if it works for him.

If you mean wide open, ie aiming about 45° left, then you can hit it straight by having the ball towards the back of your stance where the club is still on it's way 'out'.

So the club is pointing right of your foot line at impact but the feet are aiming left.

I'm surprised JustOne hasn't posted. It sounds like how he hits hit driver sometimes.

this needs a video

Didn't need to.... there's no ruling pertaining to stance when teeing off, as far as I know. You could stand on one leg or backwards if you feel like it.

Yup no ruling. Definition within the rules is: "Taking the "stance" consists in a player placing his feet in position for and preparatory to making a stroke."

The only ruling would be if you were using an unusual stance to obtain relief from something that a resonable stance would not grant you.
