00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:05.680
This video is my view of setup so I'm going to give you my perspective of what

2
00:00:05.680 --> 00:00:09.180
it looks like to take it set up with some of these different clubs. So the

3
00:00:09.180 --> 00:00:13.160
process is roughly going to be feet close together just like so and this

4
00:00:13.160 --> 00:00:17.590
alignment station I do for these my views just to give you some visuals. So I

5
00:00:17.590 --> 00:00:18.040
've

6
00:00:18.040 --> 00:00:22.900
got target line square to target or perpendicular to target line about 45

7
00:00:22.900 --> 00:00:27.560
degree angle with this one right here and then about 45 degree angle but even

8
00:00:27.560 --> 00:00:34.280
with about my left foot. So if I go small step forward this is a 7 iron I'm

9
00:00:34.280 --> 00:00:38.840
going to go kind of medium step back left foot turnout that gets it so that the

10
00:00:38.840 --> 00:00:45.520
the ball is sitting kind of just off my left ear. So now I'm a little bit

11
00:00:45.520 --> 00:00:49.640
further away but I'm going to start with the same process. So I'm going to

12
00:00:49.640 --> 00:00:50.360
hinge

13
00:00:50.360 --> 00:00:55.640
at the hips my arms are just hanging I'm going to do small step forward big

14
00:00:55.640 --> 00:01:00.320
step back so a little bit wider than shoulder width turn my toe out for my

15
00:01:00.320 --> 00:01:04.560
foot position. Now if I was to have the club dead in the middle of my stance

16
00:01:04.560 --> 00:01:04.800
would

17
00:01:04.800 --> 00:01:08.480
be right about here but I'm using a little bit of this hip tilt shoulder

18
00:01:08.480 --> 00:01:13.240
tilt in order to get the club all the way to the ball up here even with my

19
00:01:13.240 --> 00:01:19.500
left shoulder left foot somewhere in that line. Now let's do the other extreme

20
00:01:19.500 --> 00:01:20.440
so

21
00:01:20.440 --> 00:01:30.560
I got my 58 degree wedge just like so. So now I'm gonna bring feet together I

22
00:01:30.560 --> 00:01:30.880
'll

23
00:01:30.880 --> 00:01:33.800
take that small step forward and then that small step back and from my

24
00:01:33.800 --> 00:01:37.460
perspective it looks like it's just ahead of center and I'm going to do my

25
00:01:37.460 --> 00:01:41.760
left foot turnout like so. So that kind of gives you a little bit of the

26
00:01:41.760 --> 00:01:45.480
perspectives of these different ball positions compared to my feet. You'd

27
00:01:45.480 --> 00:01:49.320
have to use a mirror or a face-on camera in order to see compared to my

28
00:01:49.320 --> 00:01:53.080
shoulder line but hopefully that helps you see what I'm talking about when I'm

29
00:01:53.080 --> 00:01:55.940
describing this setup.
