Better balance and coordination help to effectively transfer the momentum of your swing to the ball. Stabilize your torso by keeping your feet shoulder width apart- having them too close or too far apart will affect your balance.

The Ultimate Swing Training Program
If your posture is corrected your muscles will groove your new swing so you will naturally return to a stance with a square club face.
