BALL POSITION AND STANCE WIDTH
The ball position relative to your stance has a significant influence on your swing path (the direction the clubhead is travelling) and attack angle
(how steeply the clubhead descends into the back of the ball). You want the clubhead to naturally be square to the target as it makes impact with
the ball for a straight shot, but the optimum attack angle changes for each club – the more loft you have, the steeper your attack should be.
DRIVER
The red strips show the wider
stance and ball position just
inside the left heel that you
need to hit the driver with a
parallel attack angle or
slightly on the up.
FAIRWAY WOOD
/LONG IRON
The green strips show the
slightly narrower stance and
ball position you need to
sweep fairway woods and
long irons with a slightly
descending blow.
MID-IRONS
The blue strips show the
shoulder-width stance and
centre or just ahead of centre
ball position you need to
compress your mid-irons with
a downward attack angle.
SHORT IRONS
/WEDGES
The yellow strips show the
slightly narrower stance and
centre or just behind centre
ball position you need to hit
your short irons and wedges
