Ball Position
March 4, 2010 by Admin
photo credit: Claus Rebler The ball position that is correct for you may not be correct for me. The guideline is that the ball should be played in line with your lead armpit which approximates the lowest part of your swing arc. This creates perfect clubface position at impact.
Check Your Low Point: take a few swings with your 5 iron without a ball. Wherever your divots begin is the low point of your swing.
For amateurs, with mid and short irons, try playing the ball further back in your stance (1-3 inches behind the lead armpit). This will assure that your club will hit the ball first prior to contacting the ground. Keep hands ahead of the ball at address. With practice, you can determine the correct ball position for your swing.
