Is Your Golf Ball Position Costing You Distance & Accuracy?

Ball position is one of the simplest setup fundamentals in golf—and one of the easiest to get wrong.

A good rule of thumb:

✅Driver: Position the ball forward, around the inside of your lead heel.
✅Fairway Woods & Long Irons: Move it slightly back from driver position.
✅Mid Irons (5–7): Gradually move the ball closer to the center.
✅Short Irons & Wedges: Keep the ball near the center of your stance for cleaner contact and better control.

The goal isn't to memorize an exact spot for every club. As the club gets shorter, the ball generally moves closer to the center of your stance.

A consistent ball position helps control your low point, angle of attack, contact, launch, and direction.

Next time you're practicing, check your ball position before changing your swing. Sometimes the setup is the real problem.

Save this guide and use it before your next range session!
