Re: Now! Where Should I place This Ball?

Hi Robert,

Yes, the ball should be further forward in your stance for longer clubs and move back towards centre as they get shorter, personally I would not recommend the ball behind centre unless you are trying to keep the flight low as in a knockdown shot.

With my method you achieve the differing ball position by moving the right foot only back and forward but the ball remains unchanged with its reference position to your left foot. If using your driver then the right foot will be just outside your right shoulder which means the ball is forward in your stance. For your wedges your right foot moves in creating a narrower stance but the ball will be in the centre. All the time the left foot and ball position remains fixed. I hope this clarifies?

The other important factor is how your weight is distributed by the position of your sternum, ie: with the driver behind the ball with weight favouring the right foot, for the wedge slightly ahead of the ball favouring the left side and so on for each club.
