Afternoon guys looking for a wee bit of advice on my posture which is in the picture , the light isn't great but any advice would be grateful

 

[stevek1969]

And thats funny how?

Take one with your backpack off so we can give you proper advice x

 

[Sneds]

Well your back is not straight, what are you expecting people to say?

Youtube any pro with a driver down the line and compare perhaps x

EDIT: And also, the image is huge. Can't you resize?

What sneds is trying to say is you need to bend your knees and straighten your back

 

[Dodger]

Never mind that did you manage to shell one over the Old Course Hotel?

Bit more knee flex and a lifting of the chin Steve.

Thanks for the advice from the real golfers .
Gave it a good go Alan but at -4 degrees it just couldn't get there, cheers again.

As others have said straighten your back but i would not say you need to bend your knees too much!!

 

[SeveB]

if he just straightens his back his club will be 6 inches of the ground

For a driver it looks perfect to me and provided your stance is wide enough you should be in a position to hit a good shot. I wouldn't bend your knees any more than that with a driver, just try not to let your weight stray onto your heels.

Are you having issues?

 

[Robobum]

As above Steve, looks very cramped. Chin down, hunched shoulders, if you get the angles a bit sharper you will feel in a much more athletic position. Weight appears to be a bit on your heels, improving those angles should help here too.

Where were you aiming?? Hard to tell properly in the light but your feet look to be aiming a long way right of your shoulders??

Yes thats why i said he shouldnt bend his knes TOO MUCH i never he should leave them as they where!!!

 

[stevek1969]

I thought everything looked square but after reading your post noticed feet and shoulders not right maybe why i'm hitting the ball right ,i thought maybe its a block but if thats the way my feet are going well that could be the problem.
Was just asking about my posture as i get a lot of stifness in my back ,thanks for the advice and will work on it,was hitting the ball well considering not hit one for 3 weeks.

Credit where credits due i admire your spirit and commitment.

Quick note: It's the perfect posture for a stack and tilt swing

btw. Is it the picture or do you have a really closed stance?

Didn't realise the feet were closed until i saw the picture think this is what i'm looking for its a swing vision of Adam Scott.Thanks again for the advice guys.

Good video of an excellent player!!!

Why was the ground he was standing on green should it not be white

 

[NickSwan]

Something I always do to check my posture is get into position, then place the club behind me and rest it against the bottom of my back holding it with hands either side. This will help you ensure your back is nice and straight without being rigid.

Hope this helps
Nick

Stick your arse out, man








( It's what the pro used to say when I was too hunched over the ball as a teenager - it doesn't stop me from standing stooped, but when I remember, it does help me get a more positive setup )

You are obviously bonkers

Get inside and put the Bovril on

Get a brew going man
