Okay, I've taken lessons from Ben Doyle, and he says all balls are played off the left heel (for a right handed player, naturally). This isn't the first time we've heard this philosophy on ball position. I'm pretty sure both Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan say the same thing in their books. I've also heard that the ball should be played in relation to the upper body, playing the shorter irons from more of the center of your chest and as the irons get longer, the ball begins to move more left of the center of your chest. Lately, I've been trying to play most shots from somewhere around "off the left heel". However, I am not hitting it as crisp from that position. I would think the easy answer would be, "move it back in your stance", but, if I do that, am I just compensating for some other problem? Is ball position something that we need to just experiment with and see what works for us, or should we be playing the ball from a certain position and learning to hit it from there? I'd love to hear from Yoda or any of the other G.S.E.D.'s that post here, but that isn't to say I wouldn't love to hear from anyone at this point.
