Stance with Your Driver
The driver’s shaft is the longest in the bag, so a base to support this is critical for success off the tee.
Barry believes in establishing an athletic base, which begins from the ground up. Set your feet wide for power. A good rule of thumb is slightly wider than shoulder-width. We need an athletic stance with feet pressure points favoring center to the balls of our feet.
A wider base provides more stability and athleticism. The key is using the ground as leverage. Driving into the ground with our feet and turning our upper body against this is for lots of power.
Power Failure: A base that is too narrow does not provide enough stability to support a driver swing.
