Ball Position in Front of the Feet in Golf (“Stance”)

Club-by-Club Highlights

Place the clubs on the ground, use the "steps" method, and keep your feet flat: position the ball between the wedge and the driver and make sure it doesn't drift.

Drivers, woods, and hybrids

A left-to-right slice with the driver, a more centered ball flight with the 3-wood off the fairway, and a hybrid that no longer produces thin shots: adjustments to the long clubs.

High ball or low ball

Move the ball forward to raise the lie, and backward to lower it when facing the wind or for a chip shot: adjust the height by your stance at address.

Fade, draw, and club path

As demonstrated by TrackMan: moving the ball changes its path, curve, and spin—from a fade to a draw.
