The Hybrid Stance Gets You In The Race

A correct address is the same as getting ready to run a race. Note the feet and
hands are just like the Hybrid Stance. See where I even have my arms and
hands. I could grip a club here and I would be ready to swing the golf club. I
would move my head to the right it's done!

Be cognizant of head placement to have a correct address position. The elbows
should not be contorted in but aiming at your hip bones. Mr. Hogan wanted a

adherence of the under the left bicep fleshy part of the upper left arm to be
against left side of the body. This area would be if you were sleeping on that
left side the arm would meet the body in the correct place.

You can do this also in your putting. This will allow your putting to be
smoother because your body moves slower than your hands that want to fire
off.

Relax your upper body, your chest and your shoulders. When looking at your
setup in a mirror from a down the line angle your should see that your
shoulders are on the edge of your feet. This is the go position.

Suck your belly in and don't try to have a straight/stiff military look to your
setup, but more of a concave look so your arms and hands will have enough
room on your forward swing to the golf ball.

The runner's stance is the Hogan Hybrid Stance. Check the feet, knees,
shoulders and even the arms and hands alignments. I simply have to move my

head horizontally to the right over my right groin area and I am there.!
