PART IV:  Identify Your Ball Position

Continued from blog entry – “The New Season . . . PART III”

.
One of the most difficult factors in addressing the ball is establishing the correct ball position.
Most of the golfers I work with have the ball either too far back or too far forward in their stance. You have to optically train yourself to recognize the correct ball position.

• A training device that I find invaluable in helping you do this is called the T-Tech.
  It can be adjusted to ball positions from the wedge to the driver. Lay it on the floor and walk in and out of it hundreds of times over the winter so you can identify the correct position during actual play.
  .
  First, of course, you have to establish the correct position for the various clubs. A good professional can help you with this. Then work on it until finding the right position becomes virtually automatic.

  The T-Tech folds up to fit in your golf bag. Or you can make your own with a couple of yardsticks or long wooden dowels.
