Lesson of the Week: Michael Harris-Working on Set-Up Routine and Posture

Michael is a professional musician who understands the importance of technique and preparation, and thus was receptive to the idea of using a consistent procedure for achieving proper posture and ball position, both key aspects of consistent ball striking. The side-by-side views of before and after are striking, and most anyone can see the benefits of using a routine to get the “easy” part of the game, the set-up, in order before moving to the hard part, the swing. A new set-up routine may seem too detailed and slow, but after practicing you will find it takes no longer than walking over to your shot and randomly putting your feet in place before you swing. Good posture makes it easier to turn the upper trunk correctly, and proper ball position, balance and ball position are simply good ideas for improving the club’s contact with the ball.
