Jim Williams shows you how to address the ball properly in order to make a good turn.
TRANSCRIPTS
-Hi, this is Jim Williams. I've got some suggestions for
your posture for those of you that struggle with slouching
over the golf ball. This is really common for a
lot of reasons. You don't have enough angles in your
body to help you rotate properly and stay down on
the ball. So, here's what I'm talking about. If you're
somebody that stands up to the ball and your belt's
really level, your rear is pulled in, and you're slouched
over, and your chin's down, you're who I'm talking to.
This is what we call C posture where you're curved
inward like this. Unfortunately, for those of us that spend
a lot of time Indoors, or on computers, or working
a lot indoors, you're gonna get this 'coz you bend
over a lot. So, it's hard for you not to
be in this position. So, you have to consciously work
on pulling back on opening up. So, what I want
you to do is create 2 better sling angles. The
first one is from your hips. I want you to
take your club, put it along your belt line, push
back from your hips so you have more angle. Here,
this is your core angle. This sets up everything. From
that point, I then want you to feel like your
shoulders are back farther almost like they're retracted. So, when
you step into the shot, when you pull your shoulders
back, that should help your chin come up. Now, I've
got some angles to my body that are more defined.
I can then turn better and rotate and not feel
like I'm just using my hands and arms or having
a really weak swing as a result. So again, if
you have a problem with slouching over the ball, what
I want you to do is stand up straighter, bend
from your hips and feel like your shoulders and chest
pull back a little bit. This is gonna give you
a much more defined body line or body angle through
here and then when you step into the ball, you're
gonna be much taller and your shoulders are gonna be
more over your toes. You're not gonna be so slouched
over like this. This will put you in a much
dynamic position to hit really solid golf shots. Good luck.
