Pete Styles shows you how to determine the correct distance to the golf ball as you set up with each club. For a complete step-by-step video guide to the perfect golf set up, please see: www.free-online-golf-tips.com
@badgolfer997 i'm glad your clubs are well fitted for you, when you set up the one inch position above the knee is designed to make sure you are standing the correct distance from the ball, so it sounds like you are too close currently, try moving further back until the club sits just above your knee, it will feel like you are stretching at first but works, trust me!!
@pstyles48 My clubs have been cut fitted, and I doubled checked the length on the chart. When I setup like the above video as I always do it still sits higher than an inch or two above knee. Maybe I just have short legs and longer torso.
I'm 5.8 and this works great.. Just started golfing and my hits were either landing too short (hitting the grass few inches behind the ball) or completely missing the ball.. I went out on the range yesterday, and had 18 consecutive proper hits by following this technique..
great advice peter and very simply put cheers mate
