Losing posture is one of the main causes why players have a flat shoulder plane at the top of their swing, which will lead to early extension, over the top movement and many more faults.
Here is a quick drill to visually help you focus on this problem.
Alignment View Drill
How it works:
- Place one alignment stick down for aiming (to ensure you set up parallel)
- Place another alignment stick in the middle of your stance ➕ crossing the other one making almost a plus/cross sign
- Place club 2 inches infront of the alignment stick
- Swing to the top and stop, can you see the alignment stick?
If not, you have lost posture. If you can, your shoulder plane is correct.
Take a few practice swing and ensure to see the alignment stick, place a ball at the same spot and start striking.

Hi All,
Since its been an absolute roller-coaster of a year due to Covid, I am starting the planning of my weekly videos and tips, therefore I would like to ask everyone what is a topic in golf that you would like me to discuss on my first video?
Long game - the address position, takeaway, impact etc.
Short game - chipping, pitching or putting and what specific shots
Rules - any rules that you might be unfamiliar with or wanting an explanation on
I will try to touch each topic with as much detail as possible to ensure you understand the information that is given.
Looking forward to hearing which part of the game I can help you improve😁
