PGA Professional Chris Dennis from Get Good At Golf demonstrates how a simple setup adjustment using alignment sticks can fix distance gapping issues. By standardizing ball position, stance width, and lead-foot flare, golfers can improve rotation and ensure they hit every club in the bag their maximum distance.
Use two alignment sticks (or spare clubs) on the range to monitor aim and ball position consistently.
Flare the lead foot out at approximately 45 degrees to encourage better hip rotation and weight transfer.
Let arms hang naturally under the shoulders to find the correct distance from the golf ball.
Widen the stance slightly as clubs get longer to provide stability for higher swing speeds.
Vary ball position relative to the club: more central for short irons and gradually further forward for long irons.
