This thread just came up when I googled it. I tried this at the range today, towards end of the bucket – through luck really to try and match a cross wind. The ball went 5 yards further and straight. Feels like I’ll never come over the top / outside the line with this posture.

Going to try a full bucket and assess any compensations that might creep in. But first impressions are that the upsides from always being shallow are worth it.

In reply to Anthony. that's actually the whole purpose of the right foot back. Get a better turn. And get a solid hit (and you need to delete the s word from your vocab :)

Can this help with ball striking? I tend to hit off the heel and sometimes hit the dreaded S word. I naturally have a slight in to out swing so I was curious if this stance could improve the ball striking and help me move away from the heel of the club.

In reply to John Nixon. Glad it helped!

Played a lot of infrequent golf in UK
But now live in Spain and played regular but frustratingly inconcistant golf. Discovered this tip by accident last week and ball striking and direction (straight) transformed! At 74 y.o. got my golf mojo back.

In reply to Ian Ward. Totally agree. As I got older my body turn became more difficult. I pulled the right foot back few inches and did not miss a ball in 20 on the range. I am now trying to adopt it in all my shots with different club. One thing I noticed is the ball position needs to be slightly moved back.

Awesome! I’ve only been doing this with my driver and always to a delightful comment “what’s up with your stance” – but then it goes far and straight’ish. Shall practice with the other clubs even though I’m OK with the “standard” stance but was ready to throw out the fairway woods that once were more consistent.

Great tip. Just found the post. Stepped back slightly with my right foot for my driver. This helped me to feel very powerful at set up as I posted on my right side. The stance felt very natural. The drives were straighter and longer. Tried the same thing with my hybrid with the same result.

I’ve been struggling with correctly loading my right glutes in the backswing and wondering what effect slightly pulling the right foot back will have on this?

beside right foot should be pointing straight and left toe pointed a little to the fairway this gives room for rye club you decide how many inches. it is like a square stance in cricket.mst of us keep our feet too wide we think the shoulder width is too wide just take a normal walking spread between the legs which invariably is closer than we are accustomed to.ideally on the back swing your entire weight should be on the right heel. I mean on the top which is accomplished by the left toe lift and turning of the left knee towards the right knead inwards filling the named mail in every post is cumbersome unless you change it I quit before that read mike Austin
