BALL POSITIONING: Ball Position - where do we place the ball so it goes away correctly? Every one of our swings has something in common. The lowest point of the bottom of the swing arc is always basically on our sternum (centre of the chest) or generally between our balanced feet or stance. If the ball is sitting there, waiting patiently, and we simply swing the clubhead through the bottom-solid impact will be the result.

Small variations are quite acceptable. I think the short irons (7/8/9 wedges) might be played one ball aft of sternum centre, mid irons (4/5/6) on centre and long irons (1/2/3 woods) one ball forward of centre.

Let's talk tee'd up (NOT TEED OFF).

Place the teed up ball between the target foot heel and toe. Why? Think simple physics and the swinging pendulum motion. If your driver is at the "bottom of swing arc", on the sternum, the normal upward arc will put the sweet spot right on the backside of the ball and make it GO AWAY. Simple! Effortless!

Incidentally, don't hesitate to place your driver head, to start your driver head from that sternum position. The common forward press has a distinct tendency to hurt timing and rhythm.
