Setup

All the features of your setup will dictate how you will swing the club. Everything from stance width eye alignment, grip, shoulder alignment, amount of bend at the waist, to the distance you stand from the ball and many others will directly affect your swing. The Pros always stress Posture, Grip, and Alignment

The more you can master the fundamental of setup the easier the game will get. These are static changes so they are much easier to make motion changes such as swaying off the ball or straightening your right leg in the backswing, and many swing motion flaws are the result of poor setup fundamentals.

Jack Nicklaus has said that the proper setup is 90 percent of making a good shot. So perfect your setup or get a lesson from your Pro if you're unsure of what your setup needs to be.
