Correct Golf Ball Position
Correct Golf Ball Position
If you have good Posture, Stance, and the correct club length, but you're still not a good ball striker; the solution could be simply checking the position of your golf ball.
If your ball position is too far forward in your stance (toward the foot closest to the target), this will cause the club to be released early. This early release will cause the shot to go left (for a right-handed golfer) and low, because the club's face will be closed at impact.
If the ball position is too far back in your stance, the club will not have enough time to release. The late release will cause the shot to go too high and right of the target line, because the club was still open when making contact with the golf ball.
If you are standing too far away from the golf ball, this can cause weak shots hit off the toe that go right of target. If you are standing too close to the golf ball, this can cause shanks.
Let's look at how ball position should very based on club type (playing from a flat lie):
• Short irons (wedges, 9-iron and 8-iron) should be played with a ball position in the center portion of your stance. These clubs have the most upright lie angles and must be swung at the steepest angle, so you should come down on the ball THEN take a divot.
• Middle irons should be played with the ball slightly forward of center (about one ball length). This means the ball will be slightly closer to the foot which is closest to the target. These clubs have a somewhat flatter lie angle than the short irons, so your divot should be slightly shallower.
• Long irons and fairway woods should be played with the ball about two ball lengths forward of center. With these clubs it will be more of a sweeping type action, with the ball being struck directly at the bottom of the swing arc with little or no divot.
• Drivers should be played farthest forward (about three ball lengths) in order to strike the ball on the upswing.
*Once you understand the proper ball position basics for each club type, you can personally fine-tune your positioning. Swing your club and see where it hits the ground and makes a mark in relation to your stance. Then place the ball at the beginning edge of that mark. This will give you the most consistent ball striking possibility, avoiding fat shots (club hitting ground first), or thin shots (bottom edge of the club hitting the middle or top of the ball).

golf tips
This message will be quick, but it's a very important one.
"The Simple Golf Swing" will correct any slicing or blocking
of the ball that you experience. Believe it or not, part of the
correction starts with the follow-through. Take a look.
A Word on Your Finish
The goal of the golf swing is to make solid impact with the ball.
I think that everyone would agree there. However, don't neglect a
proper follow-through because the ball is already gone. You can
actually correct many of the problems with your swing by
analyzing your finish.
Here's a quick check to get you started. Step up to a ball, take
your regular swing, but hold your finish. Now look back at your
forearms. What you should see is an X. Your arms should be
completely crossed. The middle of your forearms should be where
the X crosses. Not your wrists, or your elbows, but the middle of
your forearms.
Now,if you don't see that X,it means you are blocking the ball,and not releasing correctly.You're also giving up a ton power of distance.
Thanks,and have a great day!
