How to do it

  1. Stand side-on to a full-length mirror in your address posture.

  2. Look at where your shoulders sit compared to the front of your shoes.

  3. If your shoulders are out past your toes, push your hips further back.

  4. Hold the corrected position for five seconds to let it register.

  5. Step away and rebuild the setup 15 times.

Goal

Cap how far the upper body tips over the ball so the golfer stops falling onto their toes.

Feel cue

Feel your chest sitting above your toes rather than hanging out past them.

Mistake to avoid

Standing up out of your posture to pass the check — the fix is to push your hips further back, not to lose the forward bend altogether.
