Too wide of stance

[curtisj76]

Ok, I'm really trying to get this driver fixed. Other than being super closed I noticed I have a very wide stance. What problems can arise from this? Would it be harder to transfer my weight back to my left side? Thanks

Too much lean to the right
Hanging back through impact
swinging too far right
flipping

plus a bunch of others

Yep, starting to really diagnose this hooking problem. Thanks Jim

How wide is too wide?

How wide is too wide?

I am gonna guess when it results in:

Too much lean to the right
Hanging back through impact
swinging too far right
flipping

.

I suspect that given the customization with Brian's teachings that there is no standard answer, and it is dependent on the golfer's pattern.

Please correct me if I am wrong

Is it better to have too narrow or too wide of a stance?

Prob better to err towards narrow...too wide stifles your hip action...

Just as a curiousity

I love his quote:"three lousy shots and one excellent still gives a par" A very good thought for our psychics...no matter how lousy or not our own swings are.
