Which stance would make loading the right side more difficult for a right-handed golfer?

• A. A neutral stance
• B. A wide stance
• C. A left dominant stance
• D. A right dominant stance

Answer: (C)

Loading the right side for a right-handed golfer relies on shifting weight to the trail (right) foot during the backswing and rotating into that side while maintaining balance. A left-dominant stance biases the body's weight and muscular emphasis toward the left, making it harder to move weight onto the right foot. That left-side bias resists loading the right side, so it’s more difficult to load there. In contrast, a neutral stance keeps weight distributed evenly, which supports smooth weight transfer to the right; a wide stance provides a stable base that can aid maintaining balance while shifting to the trail side; a right-dominant stance already biases weight to the right, making loading the right side easier rather than harder.
