BALL POSITION
We get asked this question all the time. Where should the ball position be
with an eight iron, sand wedge, a four iron? There are different ways of
doing this, but the one way that we like is the constant ball position where
the ball position is pretty much in the same place for all of the irons.
The way to do this is to get an alignment stick on the ground that is
perpendicular 90 degrees to your target. Put your left heel one clubhead
length left of the alignment stick. From now on, no matter what, your left
heel will be in that position in relation to the ball.
Now, as the clubs get longer, all you have to do is drop your right foot
further back. So if you have a pitching wedge, your stance will naturally be
narrower, and the ball will be about in the middle of your stance. As you
move to your 7 iron, your right foot will drop back a little, and the ball will
be just ahead of center. As you move towards a 4 or 3 iron, your right foot
will drop back a little more, and the ball will be about 2 balls ahead of
center. Keeping it this simple by only having to move the right foot back
and the ball always being one clubhead inside the left heel is going to give
you a consistent base to work form.
