How wide should your stance be? It depends what you’re looking to do in your swing #improveyourgolf
SM Golf Coaching explores how stance width influences the balance between stability and mobility in the golf swing. The video explains that a wider stance offers more stability for power, while a narrower stance facilitates better hip rotation and weight transfer.
A wider stance provides more stability but can restrict hip rotation.

Adjust your stance based on whether you feel restricted (narrower) or unstable (wider).
