After years of being told to keep their heads down in order to avoid topping the golf ball, it’s no wonder so many amateurs struggle to find the proper posture in their set-up. The key to having stability in your swing is standing tall, but you can’t achieve this if your chest is too low and your knees are flexed.

This simple drill can help improve your posture and make you more light on your feet, resulting in a more upright stance. Get into your set-up and address the ball. Then, hop once in place and swing as soon as you land. The hop will have made you more balanced, allowing for a taller, more natural posture.
