3-F-5 THE ADDRESS ROUTINE
Most misshots are lost at Address – by not mentally spelling out exactly the
selected Stroke Variations and their technique and Feel. The most effective
check-out procedure for both Practice and Play are:
1. The Practice Stroke
2. The Waggle – Address and Start Down
3. The Forward Press
♦ Stand closer, feel on top of the ball with Right Forearm On Plane.
Forearm on plane requires lower right shoulder.
♦ Work HARD on set up alignments, Right Forearm On Plane, club and left
arm straight from left shoulder to club-head. Flying Wedge Drills.
♦ The Level Left Wrist is the mid-Wrist Condition between Cocked and
Uncocked. It exists (in the perpendicular plane of motion) when a line
from the first knuckle of the forefinger is in-line with the forearm.
SET UP WITH THE WEIGHT OVER THE ANKLES.
I wouldn't judge a correct address
position by the hands position
relative to anything. Your hands
will adjust themselves when you
perform a naturally balanced
stance.
When a man stands erect the line
drawn starting from the neck
through hips, knees and ending at
ankles is practically straight and
perpendicular to the ground.
Now, when a man bends and
wants to remain in balance
equilibrium, he must stick his butt
out of his heels in order to
counterbalance the upper body +
head = new position.
If he doesn't do it, the natural balance is lost and he needs to use his feet
muscles to prevent from falling down which can result in overall problems with
balance through the entire motion. The weight vector goes too much to the
toes then, like in your case.
