Putting the ball in the correct position before you take your shot plays a big role in keeping that chain reaction of the golf swing working. For example playing the ball too far back in your stance you will see that you will have a tendency to the right of the intended destination. Conversely if the ball is too far forward there is a chance that the shot will miss the target to the left.

Most professional usually play the ball between their left foot and the middle of the stance, this is dependent upon the stance though. For example, the most popular position for the driver is just inside the heel of your front foot, this positioning allows the golfer to hit the ball further in the position of stance. This effectively produces impact on a slight upswing, taking advantage of the loft and the design of the club that is being used.

The suggested ball location for the remaining clubs that you have in your bag, progresses from left to right. Subsequently the long irons are played a ball or so to the right of the driver position. Mid-irons are played about one or two balls to the right of the long irons, finishing with the short irons, which are played in the middle of your stance.

The objective of adopting theses stances is to allow you to hit the ball at the lowest point of your swing taking advantage of the club’s loft and allowing you to make optimum contact with the ball, increasing the distance of the ball getting closer to the green resulting in saving you shots on your round of golf.

Also golfers need to bear in mind that there are various kinds of balls dependent upon your requirements. You may want to hit the ball longer distances with less effort on your tee or iron shots or you may want to have better control on the greens.
