Hi Tom a little confused on one of your you tube clips you say to play the ball a club head in from left heel when hitting a driver. Just the same as you do with all your clubs.On your online course you say to play it a little forward off of your heel.

Thanks Tom
@Pamela Martini - You have some leeway with ball position. While I may occasionally deviate, for standard shots I typically like the simplicity of keeping it consistent relative to the inside of the lead heel and adjusting the stance width depending on the length of the club. This works well for me and others. Alternatively, the Stack & Tilt book prescribes a stock ball position that is in the middle of the stance for short irons, two balls inside the lead heel for middle irons, and incrementally more forward for the longer clubs - the farthest forward being even with the inside of the lead heel for the driver (again, with the stance width increasing as we move from shorter to longer clubs). It's very important to use alignment sticks when monitoring ball position - one on the foot line, a second one parallel to the first to mark the target line, and a third perpendicular to these to show ball position. Make incremental tweaks to see how different positions affect impact quality and shot shape.
This is part of the "figure it out" process that we all must do through in order to determine what works best for us individually!
