Ball Position Really Matters

Golf is a great game…of course winning makes it even better.

Most golfers don’t play a perfect round every time they’re on the course. You’ll have days that you play great and other’s not so great. Some days may be bad enough that you question giving up entirely.

Consistently playing a great round isn’t easy. Not even the pro’s do this …There’s many factors that must be taken into consideration.

If you learn nothing else from this today, please remember this one thing, all right? Most golfers miss the boat on this one.

It just happens that ball position is one of the most important aspects to improving your game.

Ball position is responsible for the direction the ball starts. Golf is all about direction and I don’t need to tell you that.

It’s easy to learn, and the best way to cut strokes almost instantly.
Common mistakes most golfers make with ball position:

1.You place the ball too far forward…the end result…you need to lunge forward and lose balance over the shot.

2.Another big mistake is putting the ball too far back in your stance.

This isn’t sound advice.

Learning correct ball positions for the club you’re using should be something that you are aware of every time you tee it up.

Here’s some helpful tips for a few of the clubs you’ll be using,

1.With wedge in hand place your feet two club heads apart…with the ball about 15 inches from your toes. This is the optimal ball position.

2.When using the 9 Iron you want them further apart than the wedge stance. The ball will be one-club head length from the inside of your front heel. The distance between the ball and your toes should be 16.5 inches. Try this and you’ll be amazed by the outcome.

As you can see…there’s no set stance… It’s gonna change and you must be willing to change with it for maximum improvement.

Listen the next time you’re on the course practicing, try it for yourself. You’re gonna feel the difference in the control and see a change in the quality of your ball striking.
