@webbum Agree that Jack does not use this method, but he allows that many fine golfers do. For me, ball off the left heel does not work consistently for irons.

I completely disagree. Keeping track of these multiple ball positions in the stance is a mental nightmare. The ball position should be in line with your left heel for all clubs. Only the width of the stance should be modified based on the loft and/or lenghth of the club. Been playing this game since I was six. You should listen to Jack.

Hybrids belong in the ball position 3

Complete opposite of what Jack teaches.

Yeah thats a good tip

I have a follow up to my previous remark.
In the video, the instructor points out the ball position for the 7-8 Irons and up. What he failed to mention for the short-game is the ball position for the 9-irons and lower which was the point of view that I’ve learned the short-game. By adding 4 or 5 balls to the right of the existing cluster, that will yield the ball position all the way to the lob wedge…That was how I was taught the short game to include the magic flop shot…

This is the first step that my golf pro taught me at Golf Galaxy before starting my short game session with my wedges.

This topic confuses me the most. This video makes enough sense, and for the most part I already did everything he was talking about. The part that really confuses me is when I watch videos and everyone says something different about where the ball should be for executing a specific shot. For example, when talking about a PW, I’ve heard ppl say you should put it in the front of your stance, I’ve heard ppl say middle, and I’ve heard ppl say back…. Which one is it! Lol /rant

Nice one. True abt the under talked subject. Been playing for a yr now and now I wonder if this could be the key to the inconsistency. Does feet width stay the Same for all clubs?

blcksteam August 5, 2010 at 7:11 am

thanks good information

bdubaitch July 18, 2010 at 7:45 am

Thank you. You are absolutely correct. This is the least talked about aspect of the golf swing set up…..yet it is probably the most important and fundamental

lerz7 July 16, 2010 at 5:52 am

Thanks for tips, does the same technique apply when the ground isnt level?

ambcw June 19, 2010 at 10:33 pm
