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 β it should cross midway between your feet.
However, depending on the shot type, you may need to adjust the ballβs position:
Forward Position:
Ideal for driver shots, helping you hit the ball on the upswing for maximum distance and height.
Center Position:
Best for mid-irons and balanced shots, promoting solid contact and accuracy.
Back Position:
Useful for low punch shots or when you need to keep the ball under obstacles, giving you a lower, more controlled trajectory.
