Set-up - Ball Position

The correct ball position in a golfer’s setup is often overlooked and commonly misconstrued. This aspect of the setup directly influences a number of ball flight laws.

Path – the direction the club is moving through the ball

Clubface – whether the clubface is square, closed or open at impact

Centeredness of hit - Was the shot struck sweetly

Irons
There was once a common belief that you must start with the ball in the middle of your stance with a short iron and gradually move the ball towards your front foot as the iron gets longer. This is wrong as you are moving the ball further away from the Apex of your swing. The ball must always be positioned at the apex with any iron in order to achieve the correct compression of the shot and also produce a flight relative to the irons loft.

This can also affect the path and angle of the clubface as the club is more than likely to have rotated past square and now moving back inside (across the ball) on an “out to in” path with a closed face.

Driver
The ball position must now be positioned just inside the left heel (forward of the apex) in order to achieve an ascending blow from the club head. This again is to maximise the loft of the driver whilst limiting the spin off the club face.

Fairway metals
Position the ball for these shots right in between the suggestions for irons and drivers. Not as far back as an iron as we still want to compress the ball but achieve a stronger more penetrating ball flight.

The Grip

This is the first basic fundamental of the golf set-up and is often the most difficult to correct as it provides the golfer with feel.  A correct grip provides a solid connection between golfer and golf club however should not be a dominant force during the swing.

A golfer with a correct grip is more likely to hit straighter, better flighted shots than a golfer with an incorrect grip. This is because a correct grip at address provides the golfer with a square club-face at impact thus complementing the natural rotation of the club-head through the shot.

A golfer with a bad grip will be more likely to rely on the timing of the hands into the impact position. This can be managed by altering or creating certain differences through impact but is not always consistent. For example a strong top hand (too many knuckles on top) can be managed by delaying the natural rotation of the club head until after the ball has been struck (Paul Azinger, Bernhard Langer) and is often referred to as “holding off”. Push/Block/Hook.

A Weak top hand (Knuckles too much underneath the club) can also be managed by a dominant bottom hand which often causes an “out to in” swing path through impact (Lee Travino). Pull/Slice

One of the great masters of the game Ben Hogan highlighted a significant fault in his own grip which he called “the long Thumb” however I believe the real improvement came by moving his left thumb (top hand) more on top of the golf club to eliminate his tendency to hit a hook.
