Ball Position for Solid Irons

KarenEssentials for Your GameLeave a Comment

Everything you do before you hit the ball determines the outcome of the shot. If you are inconsistent with your ball position at address, you will be inconsistent with your shots.

Ball position for short irons should be in the center of your stance. As you progress to longer clubs, move the ball a half of a rotation towards the target.

Here’s a quick tip to make sure that you position the ball correctly and consistently with irons.

Ball Position Drill 

  • Start with your 9-iron.  Set-up with your feet together so that the ball is directly in line with your sternum.  Take equal steps with both your back foot and front foot to shoulder width stance.  Ball position remains below your sternum in the middle of the stance.
  • This position will help you have a descending blow to the ball which is required for an iron. The clubhead will bottom out just after the ball and you’ll take a shallow divot.
  • Practice using this method to address the ball every swing and you will become more consistent with the ball position.
  • As you progress to longer clubs, move the ball a half of a rotation towards the target.
