Stance and Posture

Proper golf stance and posture are fundamental to achieving a consistent and effective golf swing. Here's how to establish the correct stance and posture in golf:

Stance:

  1. Alignment: Stand parallel to your target line. Your feet, hips, and shoulders should be aligned with the intended target. Use alignment sticks or a club on the ground to help with alignment.

  2. Width: For most shots, your feet should be about shoulder-width apart. This provides a stable base for your swing. For longer clubs like drivers, you can have a slightly wider stance.

  3. Weight Distribution: Distribute your weight evenly between both feet. Avoid leaning too far forward or backward. Your weight should be centered.

MyGolfSpy readers are familiar with TrackMan, Foresight and FlightScope but do they know the story of the upstart Korean company now headquartered in the United States that has put the launch monitor category on notice?

Ever heard of Uneekor?  

Uneekor has quietly become a leader in golf simulators and launch monitor technologies by staying focused on what’s most important: Golfers. 

It put together a team of sharp engineers driven by innovation and married them to a group of golf-focused executives who understand the industry and, specifically, what’s driving the launch monitor space. 

Uneekor even merged with Evnroll putters this year to assist with its research and development efforts with putters and putting.

COBRA KING TEC Hybrid Review

There is a lot of cool gear in the golf equipment world that doesn’t always fit neatly into Most Wanted Tests or Buyer’s Guides. You still want to know how it performs. In our We Tried It series, we put gear to the test and let you know if it works as advertised.

What We Tried:

COBRA KING TEC Hybrid. My current hybrid, the COBRA King F6, is pushing eight years old so I figured it was time for an upgrade. Does eight years of innovation really make a difference? Let’s see if the KING TEC hybrid can knock off my trusty F6 in what I’m calling the COBRA Cup.

Who Tried It:

Connor. Director of Soft Goods Testing and resident sneakerhead. I believe golf is better with a pair of cool shoes and comfortable joggers. Big hybrid guy because I suck at golf.

The Challengers

Keep in mind that this COBRA KING TEC hybrid review is based solely on my subjective feedback. Data-driven hybrid testing is a little above my pay grade so I’ll leave that to Phillip. If you are interested in how the KING TEC hybrid fared in our Most Wanted testing, you can read that full report before reading my findings.

COBRA Cup Round 1: Adjustability

I’m of the opinion that all golf hybrids should offer some level of adjustability. At the time of its release in 2015, the COBRA KING F6 was one of the few options with an adjustable hosel. Fast forward to now: four of the top five hybrids in our Most Wanted testing are adjustable.
