Golf Biomechanics – Posture’s Effect on the Takeaway and Club Length

Posture at address is something that Tiger Woods consistently executes correctly, and it is something that can be done right every time by all golfers. However, once you set up to the golf ball with correct posture, you must ensure that your equipment works with you rather than against you.

I regularly observe that most students have clubs that are too long for them once they achieve correct posture, and they are then forced to manipulate the club during the takeaway rather than simply gliding their shoulder blade as demonstrated in the Takeaway Video.

Our average student gets fit with irons that are 1 to 1.5 inches shorter than standard at our golf academy in Orlando. Once you watch this video along with the Takeaway Video, you will clearly see why — but only if you are set up to the ball correctly as we advocated in the Biomechanically Correct Setup Video.

Once you set up correctly and have clubs that are properly fit for your body, the takeaway becomes a tiny, simple movement initiated from the back and core that will dramatically simplify your golf swing and keep your arms quiet during the start of the backswing.

On the website we have discussed the length of clubs extensively and how it affects your posture, your swing, your swing plane, and many other aspects of the game. I am going to go into more depth on this topic, because many golfers have asked about my club specifications.
