A narrower stance in a golf setup is most associated with which combination of turn and lateral motion?

• A. More lateral motion and more turn
• B. Less turn and more lateral motion
• C. More turn and less lateral motion
• D. No change in motion

Answer: (C)

A narrower stance reduces the base for side-to-side weight shift, so you naturally rely more on rotation of the hips and torso to generate speed. That means you’ll see more turn with less lateral motion as the body winds up and then unwinds rather than sliding sideways. So the best match is more turn and less lateral motion. If the stance were wider, you’d expect more lateral movement, while a setup that didn’t change motion ignores the mechanics at play.
