This is a very popular 555 Golf topic because it is very useful and simple! We all know what ‘Impact Fix’ is? If you know this ‘Set-Up, Find The Ball’ position, you will very likely accomplish solid strikes. Your mechanical knowledge is a good thing! Well done!
Your ‘555 Team’ has a trademark or copyrighted saying … “I Drive As I Putt”. Sounds almost on the verge of a gently twisted mind concept? Well, we have devised and proven very simple techniques that really can be applied to your golf arsenal and help make you smile!
With ‘Tongue Slightly In Cheek’, our ‘Putting Set-Up’ … STANCE … can be adapted very easily to accommodate our Driver Tool! Remember, the Target Toe has to be flared significantly ‘Open’ to invite and enable ‘Pivot Release’ and avoid a problematic ‘Target Foot Block’, which tends to causing ‘Lateral Motion. (see ‘Sway & Slide’ … Bad for timing!).
Set Up to make a ‘Putt’ and then only step your Brace Foot to the Brace Side (opposite of the Target Side) ‘ONE SHOE WIDTH’ … about 4 inches. This adds adequate and needed stability so as to be able to handle (swing) the longer stick and head. Your putter may be about 30 inches while your driver may be 45 inches in length. Bigger tool demanding more stable leverage!
The Ball Location is, of course, farther from your ‘Ankle Joint’, Thus, several positions and angles will change, but we maintain that we have a ‘Universal Set-Up’ that works for us and shall work for you! One ‘Stance’ gets us “In The Ball Park”!
Remember these 5 Set-Ups … Posture, Grip, Stance, Ball Location & Alignment. If you have a moment, our 5 Essential Elements are also highly functional and efficient … Clubface Aim, Clubhead Path, Clubhead Speed, Sweet Spot & Angle Of Attack. 10 key points create success! Incidentally, the sequence and method by which we step into the ball (‘Transition’ - ‘Plant The Target Heel - Weight Transfer - Bump’) does not vary much. Tinker Time!
