Perhaps the topic of another thread, but stance width can be a 'crutch' for bad balance and can greatly restrict the ability for many less flexible folks to pivot through properly if too wide. Something to be aware of when experimenting with adjustments to stance width.

////////////////////////////////////////////////////

Too wide is no good, but too narrow can cause problems also. If the stance is narrow with the driver, the LOW POINT will be in front of the ball at impact, causing the player to take a divot, unless a compensation is made. Some people with the narrow stance, move backwards a little, through the ball. Some of them, like Hale Irwin and Scott Hoch, do very well. Most good drivers, however, that I can think of have the stance about shoulder width with the driver. Look at Tiger Woods, Adam Scott, Nick Price, Nick Faldo, Ben Hogan, etc..

What do you think?
