The point is that stance width dramatically alters your ability to both a) turn and b)use a steeper plane angle

The wider the stance, the less likely most people are to be able to complete the turn and the more likely they are to be on flatter plane angle, regardless of club being used.

To the extent that 'most' people are lacking the flexibility to turn well and a steeper plane angle 'can' be helpful, this is an area a fair number of players should experiment with.

Many feel a wider stance is needed to stay balanced. While there is some truth to that, I suspect many use a wider stance as a 'crutch' against having good balance in the first place.

I have no idea what you just said, ED.

Are you saying that a narrower stance willmake you LESS steep?

No, exactly the opposite.

A narrow stance will allow you to turn back AND through easier, with a more upright plane angle.

Given that most people have trouble turning, and tend to get flat/inside early - a narrow stance can be helpful.

If for no other reason than helping to show just how off balance most people are during their motion.
