Stance change - Unbelievable

[neudi]

Since I started playing golf 19 years ago I have always moved my positionon the ball to adjust for the club I was using. Today I was talking to my boss at the course and he was reading a book that says to move your right foot and keep your left foot and ball position in the same position. This means that for a wedge you have your left heel 3 or 4 inches in front of the ball and you move your right foot 3 to 4 inches behind the ball. For the seven iron the left foot stays and you move your right foot a little further back and so on. I have been mishitting the ball lately, but still scoring well, but knowing this information could change everything. When I was practice swinging it was unbelievable how natural it felt in the new stance and it gave me more confidence. Just thought I would share this with all of you, seeing if you have ever had the same problem.

Some great player used this setup, Arnold, Jack or someone. I've never tried it myself, but it's worth a shot. Give some feedback once you've tried it a bit.

Where do you position your ball in reference to your left foot by the way? An advantage of this is that it may be easier to be consistent with stance width.

You keep the ball about 3 inches inside your left heel at all times, you just adjust your right foot and your spine angle according to the club you are using. This is taught by butch and Hank Haney, so it must be working. ;)

Nicklaus played everything inside the left heel. Worked for him. It would breed a certain consistency I think. Personally, I don't so it, but it's worth a try.

Yeah, the main reason I am doing this is for more consistency. I will take some less yardage for more consistency, but studying it it seems like it may add some yardage, but we will see.
