Hmmm...ball position more Hogan-ish than Jack-ish but I tend to hit my wedges pretty much middle of an open stance.

1) No idea(!) - 1-plane?
2) 165
3) Draw
4) 4.1

Golf ball position: How do you do it?

I prefer a constant ball position (like Hogan and Nicklaus), but I base it off my upper body (like Greg Norman and Nick Faldo) since stance width can create a optical illusion. I prefer to have the ball positioned in line with my front ear and shirt logo for irons and fairway woods, but for a driver (with the ball tee'd up high) I make the exception of playing it in line with my front shoulder. You'll find the same positioning employee'd by the tour pros when you examine

pictures of them at address . I would term the swing method I use to work on my swing as fitting the Modern/Leverage school of thought. My standard ball flight is straight, but I can draw, fade, hook, and slice when I desire (to cut the corner on a dog leg, or get my approach shot to hit into a slope with a desired amount of release in mind). My current index is a +0.4, but I'm trending back up to a 0.7 (likely a result of playing less often).
