Golfers
striving to improve their scores must focus on fundamentals
for success. The single most important and most overlooked
full swing fundamental is the setup. The setup writes the
script for the swing and all too often amateur and professional
golfers struggle due to poor address positions. All great
golfers and teachers are aware of the importance of the
setup. More of this Feature

"If you setup correctly, there’s a good chance you’ll hit
a reasonable shot, even if you make a mediocre swing. If
you setup to the ball poorly, you’ll hit a lousy shot even
if you make the greatest swing in the world." - Jack Nicklaus
"
Before they ever begin swinging, I can improve nine out
of every ten typical amateur golfers." - Tommy Armour
"What
invariably distinguishes a good player from a poor one is
their respective address positions or setups." - David Leadbetter
A good setup helps you achieve three important objectives.
First, proper posture and foot placement allows you to maintain
your balance throughout the swing. All great players are
balanced from address to the finish, which allows them to
hit the ball squarely in the center of the clubface. Balance
is the key to consistent ball striking and a good setup
allows you to remain in balance when swinging. Second, a
good setup helps you create power and control the direction
of the shot. Key pre-swing elements such as ball position
and body alignment create the conditions that lead to control.
The body angles that you create at address directly influence
the path and angle on which you swing the club. They influence
the actual in-swing body positions and movements; therefore
your setup directly affects all elements of the swing. Finally,
all great players pre-set themselves in positions that they
try to create at impact. In other words, your setup puts
you in positions of advantage, making a fundamentally sound
swing possible. Your swing evolves from your setup and if
you want to achieve a good impact position, you can simply
setup with impact in mind. A good setup stacks the deck
in your favor and places you in positions of advantage.
