The correct spine angle in the address position is critical in maintaining good balance during the swing. Stand taller and tuck your chin in slightly which will keep your head in line with your spine. This position will keep your back straight which allows you to swing freely through the ball.
Some habits can’t be broken easily and a change in your address posture can take patience and perseverance. Maintaining the correct posture in the address position will result in more accuracy, greater distance and most importantly, lower scores.
