Ball position should be automatic if the initial stages of the set up are completed correctly.
For an iron shot the ball should be towards the centre of the stance. This enables a downward swing arc at impact which will help with crisp well-struck iron shots.
For a driver the ball must be more forward towards the left foot. A good driver contacts the ball as the swing is moving on an upward arc, not only helping elevate the ball into the air but also minimising back spin
Above all else the shoulders must remain unaffected by ball position and must always remain pointing parallel to target. In many cases, as ball position moves forward for the driver, the shoulders start to open promoting an out to in swing and a slice. The shoulders must not open and close as ball position moves back and forward.
