STOP Using the same Spine Angle for Every Club Stop
PGA-certified instructor Kerrod Gray explains why using the same spine tilt for every club causes low point inconsistency. He demonstrates how wedges require a stacked posture while drivers require side bend tilted away from the target. A quick shirt-button dangling drill with a 7-iron helps golfers verify correct pelvic alignment at address.
Vary your spine tilt and side bend based on club length rather than using one uniform setup.
Keep upper and lower body stacked for wedges to promote a shorter, steeper angle of attack.
Add tilt away from the target with your driver to support a flatter, sweeping attack angle off the tee.
Use a 7-iron shirt button dangle check to ensure your pelvis stays slightly forward of the shaft line.
