Hitting the Ball

Impact of ball flight based on ball position

Here's a table outlining how ball position generally impacts ball flight:

Ball Position Impact on Ball Flight
Forward in Stance - Higher launch angle
- Increased distance (with longer clubs)
- Potential for more draw or less fade
Centered in Stance - Balanced trajectory
- Neutral flight path
- Consistent distance control
Slightly Back in Stance - Lower launch angle
- Increased spin
- Better control and accuracy (especially with wedges)
