In this Porzak Golf tutorial, the instructor breaks down the ideal stance width for every club in the bag, from wedges to the driver. He explains how foot positioning dictates weight distribution and swing shape, shifting from a steep 'V-shaped' wedge swing to a shallower, upward 'U-shaped' driver swing.
Wedge Stance: Align the outsides of your feet with the outsides of your shoulders to create 70% lead-side pressure and a descending 'V-shaped' swing.
Iron Stance: Position the middle of your feet with the outsides of your shoulders for a more balanced weight distribution (approx. 55-60% lead side).
Wood/Driver Stance: Align the insides of your feet with the outsides of your shoulders to keep 55-60% of weight on the trail side, encouraging an upward 'U-shaped' strike.
Trajectory Control: Narrower stances generally result in lower ball flights, while wider stances help the club swing up naturally for higher launch.
