Golf Lessons: The Ball Position
“Where do I play the ball in my stance?”
This is the most asked question that the PGA pro’s get when they give lessons on the stance. The answer is. There is no universal ball location for everyone.
There are many factors involved in properly locating the ball. Some of the factors are, your flexibility, and the amount of weight shift you have in your swing, balance, and your physique. But there are guidelines you can follow.
Let’s assume that you have a flat lie and you want to hit the ball at the standard trajectory for the iron chosen. The ball will be played somewhere on the left side of your stance, anywhere from the left toe to the center of the stance. What you will find with most good players is a fairly constant ball position.
