Fix your ball position

You might have been told that your ball position should change depending on the club you’re using.

It becomes guesswork as to where the ball should be played to hit it solidly and a reliable distance. For example, you might hit your 9-iron 130 yards on one swing, but then hit it 140 on the next because your ball position changed a little.

A far more reliable way to control your distance is to play the ball in the same spot for each club. To tailor your address position to match the club’s length, all you have to do is change the width of your stance.

The longer the club, the wider the stance.
