Hi Guys

Just out of curiousity, why do we take a close, feet almost together stance with a short swing, when a wide stance as for a full swing is more stable

Less chance of weight shift...the short shot involves less force. The longer, full swing shot requires greater force so the premium is on stability, which means a wider stance. You want minimal change to your center of gravity with any swing, but you can minimize the risk with a short swing by bringing your feet together, which is possible because you are generating less force with the swing.
