Ball+Position

Ball position remains a difficult concept for most people because conventional teaching encourages one ball position off the left heel per Ben Hogan's Five Lessons and Jack Nicklaus's Golf My Way. The theory is that you have one constant ball position and the angle of attack changes with the moving of the right foot. As the stance becomes more narrow, the ball seems to move further back relative to the spine. Most people focus on ball position as a lower body issue by using the feet as a reference point. This is actually an upper body solution in which the ball should be played related to the spine and the logo on the golf shirt per Michael Breed teaching.
