How you set yourself up to the ball directly affects the ball flight pattern by 50%. You bend from the pelvic area, so that you have more weight on the front centre of your feet, like you are ready to spring any side. It is also important that you have an angle formed with your left arm and club shaft as there are many outward forces working away from you. Example: on the way down the club head gets very heavy thereby pulling the club head away from your body and consequently pulling the hands into a position that is higher than it was at address. The club shaft also gets dynamically shorter due to the bowing of the club.
Important:
Your posture should be so that you feel dynamic and athletic – like you are ready to accept a powerful tennis service, or you are facing a pace bowler and ready at the crease to bat. You should feel under your feet that you are ready to spring any side, or back of forth!
