In this golf tip you'll learn how to set up properly with a Driver. There are a few key fundamentals that you need to do to make sure you are going to hit the ball well.
With your golf stance you want to make sure your weight is distributed evenly. You don't want too much weight on the left foot or too much weight on the right foot.
The width of your stance should be just outside of your shoulders.
The ball position should be off of the instep of your left foot.
Your shoulders and upper body should be aligned properly. What I mean by that is that your head should be slightly behind the golf ball. To insure that this happens, your shoulders should be on a slight tilt where your left shoulder is a little higher than your right.
Tee the ball up where the ball is slightly higher than the center of the golf face on your Driver.
Some golfers tee the ball up high possibly to correct from topping the ball. That isn't the answer. Tee it up as suggested above and bend over slightly to correct your posture and that should fix the problem of topping the ball.
Other golfers tee the ball low to compensate for hitting underneath the golf ball. Again that isn't the answer. Maybe what you simply need to do is lift your chin up.
Follow this golf tip and you should hit the ball straight.
