Fairway Support›Glossary›Posture

Posture

The forward bend from the hips and the amount of knee flex at address.

More on this

Good posture creates the space needed to rotate freely; losing it during the swing (standing up, or slumping) is behind faults like early extension and thin contact.

More stance & setup terms

Ball Position

Where the ball sits relative to your stance, from just inside the left heel (driver) to the center (short irons/wedges).

Open / Closed / Square Stance

Whether your feet (and by extension, your body) are aimed left of, right of, or parallel to the target line.

Strong / Weak / Neutral Grip

How far the hands are rotated on the handle, usually checked by how many knuckles of the left hand you can see at address.

Alignment

Aiming the body (feet, hips, shoulders) and the clubface so they work together toward the target.
