Ball position is very important in the golf swing, it can affect your swing path, attack angle and launch conditions of the golf ball.
There is an old school theory that the ball position should move with every club which is confusing and isn’t consistent with the way golfers stand at different widths at setup.
In this video I explain a simple system with different clubs through the bag including driver, fairway wood, irons and wedges.

In the standard ball position would the clubface be slightly open compared to the zero point? In other words is the zero point where the clubface would be square to target?
Well done. Interesting and helpful . Thx
Started to work on have an alignment stick at zero, helped my strike. Couple questions. At standard 2 ball back, do you open the face up a bit to match the clubhead line of the grid or keep it square to the target line? Also when you take wider stance for longer clubs, do you drop the right foot back, like in Hogan's Five Lessons?
Hey Nick! What’s the approximate angle of your club and hand path grid lines? I have tee claws but I’d rather draw my grid onto my mat. Thx!
Nice info on shoulder & low point. Thanks.
Nick you’re a wonderful stack and tilt instructor and I’m hanging on to every word in every video. Would you consider a video on how stack and tilt changes how you hit balls from various lies (uphill, downhill, side hill above feet etc). I assume some adjustments maybe that are required contradict some of stacks core principles (eg how do you stack over your front foot 55% if you’ve got an uphill lie and how does ball position change if at all?)
