The steps
How it works
- Push a tee in so half the ball sits above the top of the club face.
- Set your feet a little wider than your shoulders.
- Line the ball up with the inside of your front heel.
- Step away, then set up again 10 times.
Coaching point
Wide feet, ball forward.
Safety: At home, use only foam or plastic balls and swing only in a clear space with nothing breakable nearby.
