Introduction
A mechanical, movement focused guide to operating in wide corner positions, emphasizing stable stances, controlled leaning, and predictable posture adjustments without introducing tactical lane concepts.
Key Points
- Teaches stable wide stance alignment for corner bunkers.
- Explains controlled leaning around broader bunker surfaces.
- Covers posture transitions for elevated visibility.
- Outlines safe movement paths into corner structures.
- Helps players maintain mechanical consistency in large field spaces.
Details
Corner positions involve larger bunkers with open surrounding space. These positions require stable stances, predictable posture changes, and controlled upper body mechanics to maintain marker stability.
A foundational corner stance begins with a slightly wider foot placement than central field positions. This provides a grounded base that supports leaning motions without sacrificing balance.
Leaning mechanics must be smooth and deliberate. Players should rotate the torso as a unified block rather than bending asymmetrically. This helps maintain marker alignment and prevents torque from affecting the barrel.
Visibility adjustments often involve slight elevation changes. These changes should be performed through the knees and hips, not by extending the chest or over lifting the shoulders.
Entry mechanics to corners require slowing before reaching the bunker and settling into a stable position rather than arriving at full speed. Abrupt arrivals often cause instability during the first movements.
These mechanical principles help players build consistency when occupying or transitioning through wider corner structures.
