Where should your ball position be? Where the driver? [Music] Now, I do come into this idea from a slightly different perspective because of the work that I do with a sternum. Where I put my sternum in different places to get different access to the golf balls. So, if I get my sternum further back, this side of the golf ball, I’m going to have different access into the ball. I’m going to come into out a lot more. if my sternum is over here at address or during impact. I am coming down and across that ball and I’ll get very different shapes from those two placements of the sternum. So the way I like to come into this from is that I like to get my club face to aim where I want to start the golf ball. So, if I want to start the golf ball over that right hand side in that right hand rough, I’m going to point my club face there first. And then I get my sternum to the right hand side of the golf ball over this right hand side. And I let my feet be where they need to be to help me achieve those two elements. That does by and large put the ball position in a good place relative to my sternum. However, some people look at this from a perspective of where do I put the ball in relation to my feet, which isn’t wrong, but it might just inhibit where you can put your sternum for different flights. So, with that draw shot that I’m going to start down the right hand side and I’m going to put my sternum to the right hand side of the golf ball. It’s making my feet this way. So, I am aiming that way naturally to achieve that flight. Now, relative to the mat, that ball position is way back. But relative to my sternum, that ball position is forward. But in general, a good reference point if you’re going to do it the other way round and you’re going to do ball position relative to your feet is just inside your left instep. So, where I have my feet here, if I’m hitting a square on shot, is I have that golf ball definitely inside my left foot. So, I’m not letting it get outside of that left foot. I’m definitely having it inside the feet there. That gives me enough space for the sternum to access into out. If I’m hitting a draw, if I get my sternum over this side of the golf ball, I can get up and down to here without too much trouble. If I have the ball really far forward, that can cause some issues with the sternum. Because if I have the ball that much further forward, if I have my stern and back and I swing through here, I’m going to hit the floor and go over the top of the golf ball. So, you need a really high tea height to manage that. But what most people do from here is they go, “Oh, that ball’s really far forward.” So, my sternum comes over here and I try and reach for that golf ball and it encourages them to slide over and jump over. So if we have that golf ball inside the feet, we’ve got much less opportunity to need to jump. So I like to go club face and then sternum and then feet. So the feet are allowing my sternum to get into the place that I want to select exactly where I want to create that speed. If I create that speed through here, that first foot before the golf ball, I get that ball up there with a little push and I am 1 in off the fairway. But my feet are in a nice place to allow my sternum to get into a nice place. And then if I get my club face to the right hand side and I get my sternum to the right hand side, that will mean that I need my feet over here, that does put it a lot more in the middle of my stance. Not in the middle, but not as far forward as normal because I am presenting myself here. Get my speed early and then I get that ball coming out with a more predictable draw. Working right to left, coming back into the fairway. So, my perspective is club face, sternum, then feet.
