Smarter Golf Starts With Better Motion
The way the ball is positioned at address can vary in different ways. Indeed, it can be placed at various distances from the target (forward, center, or back); it can vary in relation to the distance from the golfer depending on the club in hand; and finally the ball position can also differ in how high it is removed from the ground when using a tee.
The possibilities are explained below.
For most standard golf shots, placing the ball in the center of your stance works best. Imagine drawing a line from the ball toward your body — it should cross midway between your feet.
However, depending on the shot type, you may need to adjust the ball’s position:
Ideal for driver shots, helping you hit the ball on the upswing for maximum distance and height.
Best for mid-irons and balanced shots, promoting solid contact and accuracy.
Useful for low punch shots or when you need to keep the ball under obstacles, giving you a lower, more controlled trajectory.
