Most golfers reading this understand that moving the golf ball position either forward or backward will influence the outcome of the shot. It’s why it’s recommended to position it on the front foot while using driver (to help swing up and launch it), and why it’s suggested to move it back when you’re looking for a more low-flighted shot.
But just how much does the ball position impact your swing path?
It’s a topic of conversation that top teacher Tom Stickney recently talked to me about, so I figured it’d be good for him to elaborate on it below.
