NOW WHERE DOES THAT BALL GO?

Ball position at address can be confusing. Often you’re taught that the position should be different for every club, which could add up to 14 different positions! When you follow The Surge’s suggestions about “hitting up” on the ball, there are really only four ball positions you have to think about. As you know, I like to keep it simple.

But no matter which club you’re using, there are certain constants. Always keep your nose on the ball. Always. And keep those knees wide.

	Wedges to 7 iron. The proper ball position for all those clubs is directly in the middle of your stance. Keep those knees wide (“like riding a skinny horse”) and your nose on the ball. Swing up!
	Long irons to fairway woods. Move the ball a little more forward, about an inch or two behind the left heel. The general rule is that the less loft there is on the club, the further up in your stance the ball should be the further up in your stance.
	Rescue Woods. These popular clubs work best when the ball position is just behind the left heel. Keep those knees wide, your nose on the ball, and “swing up!”
	Driver. Because it is the least lofted club with the longest shaft, the ball should be at the left heel to slightly forward to the back of the instep.

Everyone is going to be slightly different. But if you position your ball within the parameters of these four positions, you’ll lower your score!
