Ball Placement Question

[SK2]

First off does the ball in the back of your stance create more loft or lower trajectory? I have been told both ways.

Secondly where do you place the ball according the club you have?

Re: Ball Placement Question

the ball back in your stance will produce a lower trajectory. I have some to find out with the lower clubs the farther the ball is in your stance it will produce a little more spin that it is farther up. Usually if i have a tight pin placement and i just want to throw it up and land it i play the ball up but if i have green to play with i play it back and play it back to get it on the green and roll. As far as finding ball placement, you should play around at the range to find what is comfortable for you. I was taught by my local pro to play it off where there is a logo on my shirt and then move my right leg back according to the club. This helps me hit threw the ball, i beileve jack nickalus used this type of ball placement

Ball back in stance results in less loft and lower trajectory. It also results in a bit more spin.

Re: Ball Placement Question

Yes, ball back in stance creates lower trajectory as the club is de-lofted.

I have an article on this site referring to ball position. You may find it worth a read.
