| I don't feel there is any "correct" or "incorrect" ball position. Obviously if you play your driver off your back foot, well that might qualify as "incorrect" but aside from something drastic like that, it's all about the player's preferences, swing, etc.
If he is telling you where to play the ball, I assume he is doing it for a reason.
For me personally I play the ball a little forward in my stance for all irons...PW and shorter irons would be closer to center but still forward, and 5i, 4i etc would be a little more forward. For me, having the ball forward actually helps me hit it lower. Sounds strange, but it forces me to "get through" the ball and gets my hands out in front of the clubhead. Playing back just makes me hit down on it really steep with all my weight back, which makes the ball pop up with tons of backspin. |
