Author: Bill Maitland
Article:
The ball can be placed anywhere from the inside of the front
foot to the inside of the right foot. (right handers).
This is a very loose piece of information. However, you will
have to work out which position is best for you.
Some Professionals advocate moving the ball back in your stance
for the shorter irons. I hate this. I hit too many fat shots
when the ball is not in the correct position for me. When it is
there I never hit a fat shot.
Find your spot and you will not hit one either.
The orthodox position is just inside the left heel. (The left
foot points slightly towards the target). This is a long way
forward, and I believe it leads to all sorts of problems. You
really have to keep the club moving along the path of the flight
of the ball. It is easy to hit a fat shot when the ball is
positioned here. It is also very easy to hook or slice from
here. Especially if you are a little tired.
When you are tired, the swing is not quite along the correct
plane and it can become shortened resulting in a hook or slice.
Experiment and bring the ball back towards your right foot bit
by bit. To help with finding the right position for you, swing
your club and see where it hits the ground in relation to your
stance.
Then put the ball here and see how it feels. If you have it back
towards your right foot, you will be given all sorts of advice
about steepness of down swing etc.
Take no notice, and if the position suits you, stick to it.
Find the spot where contact with the ball is sweetest, and where
most accurate results are achieved.
Find the spot where you can hit down on the ball most easily.
Most if not all good players, hit down on the ball and pinch it
between the club and the ground. This will give you more
accuracy and your shots will be longer.
