Re: Open stance with driver to clear my hips?

"An open stance is the bedrock of the "Grip It and Rip It" school..."

Every now and then Chi Chi Rodriquez is on TGC "Playing Lessons with the Pros." Watch him when you find it. Very edifying. He hits it arrow straight or turns left or right from any lie. He scores par or less on a LONG championship course.

He does that from an extremely closed stance. He hits with his back leg at least a foot farther back from the target line than his front foot. Feet, shoulders, and hips totally closed to the target.

Chi Chi is a little guy who was one of the best players in the world for years-- a trick shot artist who could do what "the Hit Man" does today.
