Why Your Setup Deserves Your Attention
Most golfers spend their practice sessions working on their swing. The research says the problem often starts earlier - at setup. Your stance width and ball position should change for every club in your bag. Get them wrong, and your body compensates, making consistent swings even more difficult.
22 Feet
One ball-width of inconsistency in your ball position adds up to 22 feet to your 7-iron dispersion.
Half a Club
That same shift can cost you half a club in carry distance.
1/4 Inch
And it only takes a quarter-inch of ball position error to push your driver launch angle outside the optimal range.
Jack Nicklaus on the three most important parts of the golf swing:
"The setup. The setup. And the setup."
Meet Stance IQ
A golf training mat that shows you the correct stance width and ball position for every club in your bag.
Place it between your feet and the ball. The positions are already there — derived from Pro Tour-level data and leading golf research.
Six sizes, each matched to your height. No app. No electronics. No calibration. Just lay it down and train.
What Changes When Your Setup Is Consistent
A more consistent setup leads to improved accuracy, better strike and fewer swing compensations.
Tighter Dispersion
One ball-width of inconsistency adds 22 feet to your 7-iron dispersion. Train your ball position and your left-to-right spread tightens.
Better Ball Striking
The correct stance width and ball position for each club gives you better low-point control and a more consistent angle of attack.
Fewer Compensations
Every time your ball position moves, your swing compensates. Lock in your setup and let your swing do what it's supposed to.
