Pat52007: Have you ever read Jack Nicklaus' Lesson Tee - the one that back in the 70s appeared in Golf Digest as a cartoon series? It was compiled into a book. While Nicklaus taught that the iron position was the same for him for all shots, he strongly recommended that an individual player find where he naturally contacted the ground, and play the ball there. For me, it is just slightly front of center. Best thing is to have a pro look at you to determine your best ball position.

Ball to left instep,good body posture and balance,medium tee height,smooth swing,3 wood,300yds,nice.but thats just me.

Thanks phil, helped alot........

[pat52010]

Jack Nicklaus played ALL shots off his left heal. Jack said the only thing that should vary is the width of the stance and NOT ball position!! You all can do what you want but I trust Nicklaus!!

will be trying this tomorrow, think the problem i had was still hitting with a driver on the down swing so my balls went all over the shop. cheers

[pat52007]

Jack Nicklaus taught that you should play all shots just off the left heel. And that you should only change the width of the stance ....example with the wedge a narrow stance and as the club gets longer the stance widens...

[TheSharkhunter30]

That's old school, new school is narrow stance for everthing except driver, chips, short shots near the green, widen the stance change the arc, less power, Look Vijay's swing and then look Tiger's or Sergio's. Old school, new school.

kostly ok thats what i thought but you know what i went to a simulator the other day and i was hitting in the middle of the head but it was still going high. i can tee the ball down but everything i do it seems like i hit it high. so when i get to my bal i have no roll it just stopped or had back spin.

[goldenglove25]

ok i have a question. i put the bal in front of my stance with my driver, i try not to tee it to high but when i swing my loft of the ball is as high or higher than my distance. my club is 9.5 degree. and why do i get back spin on my drive i get no role i can get back spin off my drive please help.

[Kostly]

You're hitting underneath the teed ball and off of the top of the clubface. This produces the "pop-up". I would try teeing the ball lower *maybe 1/4-1/2 inch* or tee it farther up in your stance. Whats happening with you it sounds like your coming to the point of impact at the apex of your swing. You want the point of impact just in FRONT of the apex. This should give you the ASCENDING blow he is talking about. Hitting UP and following through the ball.

[secrettogolf]

You are probably hitting with a sharp descending blow.With your irons this is great .With the driver you really should be level or ascending.Swing more around your body and move the ball away a bit father so that you can aproach form the inside,you may hook at first so experiment w ball position.I can't see your swing so i have to assume you know about weight shift and the sequence of moving parts in the downs swing.See the Kinematic Sequence,here at Utube if you think it's mechanics.

thank you so much..i never realized that the divit was taken after the ball..i was already componsating for my slice by putting the ball farther ahead with the driver..but now i know why it works..
