I have a stance problem, i allways have a open stance when i hit the ball wich causes me to slice/fade. Do you have any drill i can do do make my stance more square?

Go to the range and get into a square stance with your shoulders and feet aligned to target. Now move into an exagerated closed stance by moving your right leg behind you one foot and hit balls. This will give you an inside feeling. Now put your right foot back to square and try to keep the feeling of that drill. Use clubs to help with alignment with both your feet and target line. Check your shoulders by putting a shaft across your chest. Good luck.

Find a mirror and an intermediate target in front of it. Attempt to line up square to the intermediate target without looking at the mirror. Check the mirror to see that you are square. Repeat until correct.

Go out to a random field and pick a target. Line yourself up and then drop a golf club in front/back of your shoes. Walk away and see whether the club is parallel to the target. If not repeat until correct.

Find a wide hallway and pick a target. Line yourself up and ensure that your body is parallel to the wall. If not repeat until correct.

    • Day 29 (31 Dec 25) - played a casual year-end 18 with a couple of friends.  
    • Day 457 - 2025-12-31 Stayed after some GEARS Hybrid stuff with my senior girls and got some work in. Also, kicked Tegan's butt at a chipping contest with a wedge that has a lousy toe profile.
    • Day 141 12-31 Reconnecting arm and club face work. Making sure left wrist is arched only on the downswing. Not doing full swings, im pausing at the top and will do a few rehearsals.  Hit a few real balls  after, and had some curve way left. 
    • That was a good watch. When I started working on pelvis in the backswing. I thought, this sounds contradictory to those leg straightening threads on the site. Erik has already done a correction. Then the last lesson we went more down the route of feeling the right knee gains flex. It doesn’t, but the feeling keeps my knee position in a good range. Also, I just realized how much extra work my right hip needed to do to stabilize the body with the proper weight shift. Those glute and hip stabilizers got worked. 🤣 I wish this evolution in the golf instruction happened 20 years ago! 😭
    • I've been Playing Golf for: 40 yrs My current handicap index or average score is: 4.0 factor My typical ball flight is: Straight however sometimes slight draw. The shot I hate or the "miss" I'm trying to reduce/eliminate is: squirt to the right due to to much arm not enough turn.
