Ball Position and Weight Distribution Essentials

Ball position and weight distribution are closely related. The distribution of your weight at address can affect the swing significantly. In fact, weight distribution should change to match the shot you are playing. With short irons, there is slightly more weight on the front side than the right (for the right-handed golfer), and the ball position is in the middle. With the rest of the irons and fairways woods, it is about even. When driving, there is slightly more weight on the back side than the front.

The ball position for the short irons is just to the right of center for the right-handed golfer, and just to the left of center for left-handers. As you progress to longer clubs, move the ball a half of a rotation toward the target. The ball position for the driving club will then end up opposite of the front heel. The ball should fall underneath your front ear, making your head start behind the ball. As the club gets longer, the head gets further behind the ball and your stance gets wider.
