As you go through your alignment routine keep your feet together. This way you can be sure that your feet are going to be square with your shoulders.
The other reason for this is that you create a third visual reference line against which to position your feet relative to the ball that is perpendicular to your shoulders.
That reference line is an imaginary line that splits your feet to the ball.
The reason for that reference line again comes back to eliminating any effect due to visual distortion…
The visual reference line allows you to accurately set your feet and hands in the correct position relative to the ball:
Left foot forward and right foot straight back so that the ball position is slightly left of center.
Hands slightly ahead of the ball.
Your posture should be set to ensure optimum swing balance:
Not too close to the ball that you “fall backwards” on the downswing.
Not too far that it causes you to “stand up” on the backswing.
Weight equally balanced between each foot.
Knees slightly flexed to allow lower body freedom that makes your trunk turn easier.
Trunk tilted slightly forward with your arms hanging straight down so that your hands are about a hand width away from your legs
