One fundamentally important and often overlooked aspect of the golf set up position is the angle of the shaft during the set up phase. Many golfers align the shaft directly into the centre of their bodies as they are not sure of any other alternatives. In this video tip PGA professionals Pete Styles and Matt Fryer will help you understand and confirm where the position of the club should be, but also how it can differ from playing with different clubs. For example, what is the difference between an iron set up and a driver set up.
So sometimes an overlooked topic in the golf swing in the golf swing action is what we're going to be doing in the set up and more particularly how each club is actually sitting to the golf ball. As we all know we've got different length of course we've got different whys of clubs and we've got different lots of clubs so theoretically I would imagine we're going to be sitting them a little bit differently each time we address the golf ball. So if you could clear the for us and give us a rough idea of you know where we wanted to be and why we're going to be doing that.
Pete could help cause that was a fantastic great intro already on the fact that we carry 14 different club as a golfer we are trying to keep our swing consistent shots consistent with 14 different clubs vary length lie loft. We clearly have something different well I've got a a long driver middle 7 iron my short wedge things are slightly different sets ups. Mostly because the club is shorter because it will be short so I'm going to get a little bit nearer to the golf ball here I'm going to try and get this club to the ground quite mutually.
