Critical Ball Position Instruction Revealed - By: Nick Bayley, Posted on: 2007-08-25

When you hit your best golf shots you do so without conscious thoughts. Or put another way....you swing the club automatically using your subconscious mind. Now the better and more consistent your setup then the more you'll be able to swing automatically just like you did when you hit your best ever golf shots. And to back me up on this read this quote from the great Tiger Woods:

"Poor ball position is a silent killer. If you don't place the ball precisely in relation to your stance, the ball will be playing you instead of you playing the ball. You'll have to conjure up some type of weird swing movement just to get the club on the ball, and because of that you'll never be consistent."

Tiger Woods

So one huge determining factor as to whether or not you become a consistent ball striker will be where you position the ball in your stance and how consistently you get the ball positioned where it needs to be for each club. If you position the ball poorly in your stance then you'll need to make a lot of compensations as you swing and this will mean you'll greatly lack consistency.

So here's exactly where you need to position the ball in your stance to become a consistent ball striker.

==> For your Driver and 3 Wood your ball should be positioned directly off your left foot instep.

==> Then for your 2-iron through to 6-iron your ball should be positioned a ball width inside your left instep.

Important Note: If you're using high lofted woods or hybrids then here is what I suggest. Anything up to 19 degrees in loft, e.g. a 5 wood should, use the driver ball position. Woods/Hybrids over that, e.g.a 21 degree 7 wood, should use the 2nd ball position that I suggest for 2 - 6 irons.

==> Finally for your 7-iron through to 9-iron your ball should be positioned two ball widths inside your left instep.

After reading this you might be wondering why I teach my students three ball positions when it would seem easier just to have one ball position.

Well, here's the reason.

When you swing a driver you need a more sweeping motion than you do with say a 5-iron. And if you had just one ball position for both of these clubs then you would have to adjust your swing consciously to produce the correct swing motion (i.e. a sweeping one for a driver and a more downward blow with a 5-iron) and that's not good.

So work hard on getting the ball positioned correctly and consistently for each club you're using and you'll give yourself a great chance of becoming a consistent ball striker.
