I think it is most important aspect of the game. If ball position is not right you are not going to have a good shot or at least the shot you are visualizing. You should do a video with the Cobra One Length Irons to see how that changes with Ball Position. Apparently you put ever shot in the Middle.
Is this way, what I consider the modern traditional way, better than say the Hogan theory of ball placement? Great video.

Does “flairing” or opening your left foot help with distance?
Golf is not a game of perfect…….& there is no “perfect” ball position without proper alignment. The two go hand in hand.
Great video. My coach says to flare but measure from the heels instead of toes, which gives the same result.
big up
What happens when you play single Length club?
Was playing with a guy yesterday who had a good swing and tempo but was prone to snap hooks from time to time. His snap hook swing was the same as his good shots. I noticed his ball position was too far back on his driver. I said move the ball forward 2 inches and then every drive was beautiful high draw.
I have an extra slot in my bag for that T-square
Mr. Short Game, thanks for the drill! Great video.
It's "DESTINY"!!!!
Great video as always Matt! I especially like the putting drill.
Good stuff! Nose=wedges, left eye=irons, left ear=driver. T square isn't just for building houses, also for building golf ⛳ game!
Just had a nostalgic moment! Lol. MSG has come a long way from filming his videos in his backyard in the “valley”!!
Destiny prefers the powder blue lol
Destiny? … So the GG putter is a stripper now? Okayyyy. LOL
it's PHOENIKS!!! or in dutch FENIKS!!! Great video's Matt
I thought your sternum to be a little in front of ball to compress the ball🤔?
This is so good.
Good video MSG! What are the shoes you're wearing?
Matt, I'm surprised you don't use the same ball position for every shot. Even Mr. Hogan did that
That trip to Home Depot was a business expense, right??
Great video 👏🏻🇩🇰👏🏻
I'm an engineer, and when you pulled out a T-Square to measure ball position, I said "this guy gets me"!
I have heard that you should not measure ball position with lower body or feet, rather it is an upper body alignment issue. Which is why you foot flaring issue you ignore where you feet actually are. Again. It is upper body alignment issue.
That’s all I do in my living room is putt off a metal 4 foot ruler. My putting has gotten a lot better.
You are not doing what you think you are doing.
Your ball position for driver was way a head of your left ear.
Please put a white grid on the mat
Hi from Drew in CT. What’s crazy is when I have the ball in a forward position like that I hit it so far left. When I go backwards from what you’re saying I hit it straight. Does that make any sense?
Quick reference guide
Short Irons (9-SW) – Center
Mid Irons (5-8) – 1 Inch Forward
Long Irons/FWs – (Front Eye) 3 Inches Forward
Driver – (Front Ear) 4 Inches Forward
Fantastic
Perfect, I need this. I go from sending darts to the green to pushing or pulling them way off line. So frustrating. Think I can use the square during a round? 🙂
I honestly reckon the last tip Matt in regards to putting was probably your bet tip with putting and you don't need to be at the course either 👍.
When I putt I don't have the ball directly below my eyes. I have the point of contact between putter and ball directly below my eyes, which means I move the ball very slightly forward. I feel I get a better roll this way. I also want to feel like the putter head is "chasing" the ball once it's hit.
I was thinking about getting a golfboks for this.
Why move the ball for your irons at all? I’ve been playing everything in the middle. Great channel and great videos. Keep them coming.
👍
Destiny is working her way through college
Many shorten it to dez, sounds more like a friend then haha
Great advice and so true. I had to practice and unfortunately do the trial and error to figure placement out (the hard way). Wish I knew or that someone told me this when I started
Thanks for the great tips! What about ball positions for each group of clubs in relation to how close or far from you? I assume the longer the club, the further away the ball should be? I noticed at least on your putter, the toe was higher than the heal.
I’m kinda surprised the don’t have alignment markers at places like top golf for practice.
Next on the stage…gentlemen put your hands together for destiny….
I would have gone with MSG.
I think that’s prob why Sam sneed put the ball in the same spot for every club and just changed the width and position of his right foot…seems like a lot of work
