Ball position plays a huge role in solid contact and consistent ball flight. ⛳
Many golfers struggle with accuracy and distance simply because the ball is placed in the wrong position in their stance. Here’s a simple guide:
Driver
Place the ball inside your lead heel. This helps you hit the ball on the upswing for maximum distance.
3–4 Iron & Fairway Woods
Position the ball slightly forward of center. This promotes a sweeping strike and solid contact.
5–6–7 Irons
Play the ball near the center of your stance for a balanced strike and consistent trajectory.
8–9 Irons & Wedges
Place the ball slightly back of center to create a downward strike and better control.
Remember:
✔️ Longer clubs → Ball more forward
✔️ Shorter clubs → Ball more centered or slightly back
Master your ball position and you’ll instantly improve contact, accuracy, and distance control. 🎯
