Where do you have your ball in your stance for these clubs: Driver Fairway woods/hybrids Long irons Short irons wedges

Driver: left toe Fairway woods: left heel Hybrids & Long irons: just inside left heel Short irons & wedges: about center to slightly ahead of center My tendency is to get the ball a little too far forward at times, but I tend to make better contact with the ball forward as opposed to back.

[BENtSwing]

3 wood in between pics, wedge little further back than 2nd pic.

[AllenEagledOnce]

I'm righty Driver- instep of left (front) foot woods -approx 1 ball further back than driver 3Hybrid & 4-6 - middle 7-wedges - instep of right (back) foot fwiw: Keeping the ball back helps me because I'm tall

[dchoye]

Driver I feel pressure more on my forefoot near the great toe. 3w/hybrid. Feel ground pressure closer to heel Mid to long irons. More to my midstancs to just behind the front foot Wedges and 9 iron. Midstance

[Zeph]

Driver I've had more towards the left big toe, but experimented with inside left heel lately.

Woods inside left heel

Irons around inside of left heel

Wedges a bit closer to center

[Abu3baid]

Driver - will record but lately it has been a ball or two past my left foot and I feel like I am open to my target line... best contact and distance ever... crushing it lately + I tee it up a ball above the top of the club almost 3 wood - just at my left toe or inside of it slightly.. I tee the ball down just off the ground Irons - inside left heal a ball or two, but I wonder if it is too much. I might need it I one more ball Wedges - just a little inside of my iron spo, but I dnot feel any different as my legs are closer together anyway!

[dchoye]

3w just a fraction ahead of of my left heel Driver 1.5 inches in front of my left heel Long-mid iron inside my left foot about 1 inch inch inside my left heel 9iron -wedges. About 2 inches inside my left heel very close if not at middle of my stance Left heel represent the low point of my release

[mpb1472]

Driver- off inside of left heel Fairway woods- off logo of shirt Long irons-off left cheek Short irons- middle of my stance Wedges-one ball back of middle I tend to come out shots with early extension so a little back helps me stay down and through better.

This is basically what I do.  For driver  [CONTENTEMBED=/t/44307/hitting-up-or-down-with-the-driver-in-an-inline-pattern layout=inline]​[/CONTENTEMBED]  Fairway wood- left heel Irons- Ball inside the left heel Wedges- Two balls back of the left heel

Mike is there a particular reason you have your irons and wedges forward of what most people are taught? I do basically what most of the people above do. Driver big toe of left foot, fairway woods just behind left heel, hybrids and long irons a touch forward of center, short irons center, and wedges a touch back of center.

[MS256]

Short irons Middle of my stance

wedges Middle of my stance

^^^ Ditto. (Unless I'm making an adjustment for an unusual lie or flighting the ball down or something).

[billm408]

I play my driver just inside the left heel and everything else about a half ball back. The only time I move the ball around in my stance is if I'm trying to manufacture a different ball flight. The bottom of my swing is just inside my left heel. That doesn't change based on the length of the club in my hand.

[onkey]

For my irons, I let the bounce of the club determine the ball position.  I try to keep my arms and hands in the same place for every swing (unless I am trying to affect the ball flight).  If you set your club on ground resting on the bounce, the shaft lean will determine where the ball goes.

I need more info how this looks... Maybe I'm just having a brain block??:8)

I stink at finding videos/pictures to help me out so I will try to explain. S tart with a 7-iron. Look at the club, see how if you sit the sole/bounce flat on the ground the shaft naturally leans forward. Do the same with a PW, notice the shaft lean is greater.  And then grab a 4-iron--the shaft is more vertical. If you take the same stance with your hands in the same position, the clubs will naturally shift their position on the ground relative to their bounce/shaft lean.  I let that difference determine where the ball is in my stance.  I'll keep looking to see if I can find something better to explain it.
