The first thing you’re trying to achieve with width of stance is stability. Standing with your feet too close together can cause instability increasing inconsistency, yet standing with them too far apart can prevent rotation and lack of power. There is a lot of conflicting instruction on the correct stance width for the golf swing.
Every golfer is different. In general we look to have a stance that is just wider than shoulder width in order to withstand the pressure of getting your body in the correct position through impact.
