Re: Ball Position When Chipping/Pitching...

Place the ball exactly half way between your ankles when using wedges. The two exceptions are when playing out of sand where it should be in line with the left heel, or when you need a knockdown flight in windy conditions where it is played from the right heel.

Placing the ball forwards will encourage you to slide your knees and hips into the shot resulting in a fat or flippy contact. Set back will de-loft the club and may create an open clubface pushing the ball right.

If you wish to create a controlled finesse wedge shot that flies a predictable distance and height, you must have a solid reference for all wedges.
