This may come as a surprise to many people but your right foot might be the reason many of your golf shots are going off course. It’s not very often that you hear someone talk about their foot when they swing but it is sometime a reasonable excuse for a bad shot.
For right-handed golfers, the toe of your right foot should be square to your line or maybe turned out to the right. By doing this you can help the head of your club come away low from the ball, make a nice turn and start downwards correctly.
What if you want to hit your golf ball farther or higher than normal? In that case, the toe of your right foot should be aiming farther to the right. This will give you a larger and more powerful turn away from your golf ball without ruining your balance or rhythm. In addition, your hips will stay behind the ball through impact which leads to a cleaner motion and greater distance and speed.
If you’re looking to hit a low shot try turning your right foot slightly to the left. This will cut down on your backswing and give you more of a punch shot to keep the golf ball low.
I know this is just one more thing to worry about during your swing but with some practice you might find these subtle adjustments helpful.
