Staying centered over the ball, not swaying on bs, and maintaining the right wrist angle at impact allows one to place the ball anywhere one wants but I wouldn't advise it. Ball placement can be used for specialty shots when one needs to create certain shots in unusual situations.
Its the width of the stance that determines what ball position does for the player but mostly ball position never changes much. At most we are only talking a few inches here and there.
Get some more rum, I'm coming to visit.

The further you move the ball to the left the more sweeping action you will have. You will have loft. Some great players would have a sweeping action. Jack Nicklaus had some of the highest loft on tour, he played off of the inside of the left heel. Even in a sweeping action there is some downward action.
We also know the further to the right the clubface will remain open unless we have a closed clubface on the way down or the stronger grip which is one in the same. Now you have also decresed loft of the club.
