Alternatively, you can use the enclosed Customisation Stickers to mark your correct width of stance, ball position and the distance you should stand from the ball. Please note all the above will differ, depending on your height and other physical characteristics.
1. Stand up straight with your arms comfortably extended in front of you so that your club is parallel to the ground.
2. Without altering the position of your arms or club, simply bend from the hips until the club comes to rest on the ground.
3. Now flex your knees slightly to adopt an athletic stance. You should feel balanced and poised.
STANCE WIDTH
The basic rule for stance width is the longer the club, the wider the stance. It is generally accepted that when you use your driver your feet should be approximately shoulder width apart, and as the clubs become shorter, the stance width becomes narrower.
Your stance width is somewhat personal. However, you should feel comfortable and able to make a good turn without losing your balance.
BALL POSITION
There is a certain amount of personal preference here as well.
1. One school of thought is to keep the ball and left foot in the same position for all clubs, and then simply vary your stance width by moving your right foot.
2. The second and more commonly-used method is to start with the ball in the centre of your stance for your short irons, and then move it forwards the longer the club you use. When using a Driver the ball should be played just inside the leading foot.
Customise Your Set-up Positions
When you are happy with your posture, stance width and ball position, simply use your Customisation Stickers to mark your ideal positions for each club in your bag, or alternatively you may just want to customise a selection of positions, it’s a personal choice.
Note: mark your stance width from your instep.
