Left wrist on top of the shaft and paralell to the leading edge of the clubface.
Right hand to the side of the left thumb where it fits into the lifeline of the right hand.
Center the clubshaft to the middle of the hips by pushing down with the heel pad of the left hand...left hand bent, this connects the #4 pp.
Respective elbows point at the respective hips with right elbow slightly bent and a slight pressure against #1 pp will cause the elbow to move more under which will connect the right upper arm to the side of the chest (#5pp??? don't know).
Once the upper body is organized establishing the spine bend should not be a forward movement. This will cause the upper spine area to bend or hunch over with the tendency of weight moving too much to the toes.....instead push the butt back bending at the hip sockets like an oriental bow. The weight of the upper body is then counterbalanced by that of the lower body. Majority of the body weight will be towards the heels which will settle just in front of the heels when the knees are bent. The ability to tap the toes up and down with both feet will give the feeling of good balance. A slight spine tilt can be established with a small forward/upward bump of the left hip. Done right this will compress the right shoulder down toward the right hip.
Who knows...may help, may not....still gotta hit that ball.
Ahh now I think I'm starting to smell some good stuff cookin' . . .
Please expand on this here . . .
thanks!

Basically, while my club may change, the relative relationships of the club to my body don't - that is to say, I let the flying wedges be my guide.
My setup procedure involves setting up the wedges in a way that I KNOW that to hit a good shot, my wedges are in place.
See the "setting up for compression" post in the drills section, (link in my signature)
Part of that setup process is to use PP#4, and balance, as my reference points for how far to stand from the ball.
I've set my wedges, I set PP#4, I step in to the shot and, keeping those in place, I find my balance.
Sounds like a lot but it really is easy to do, and to build into your routine.
It is also very, very helpful to setting ball position, because you have set your impact alignments, and let your balance assure you've got those wedges AND good balance at the proper moment.
Most people fight balance because they have bad alignments.
Gotta love the flying wedges!

Do you set your wedges on an the inclined or horizontal plane?
Linear Mode
