Your set up for driver and short irons works well for me - but not for long irons and hybrids. I struggle with leaning the hip an extra inch to the left and weight on left foot - and the fact that the ball is only one ball from the heel frighten me (I often hit thin or not at all). May be I am to old (stiff) for this method ;-) I am 62. When I fall back to the short iron set up my hybrids works better (4 and 5).
Is this a known problem and should I forget your long iron set up?
I sometimes spin my hips to early other than that I hit the driver fine when I keep my butt going towards the target. I can't get my Hybrids in the air. I hit low straight shots but don't stand a chance of getting to stop on the green. How can I get the ball higher ? should I move it back in my stance and hit down on the ball
@opa.grefstad - You definitely have some leeway with ball position. I personally tend to 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. 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).
The bottom line is that this is YOUR swing, and in order to fully take ownership of it you need to make the unique tweaks and adjustments that work best for YOU. Let your ball striking be your guide. If the short iron setup works for your hybrids and long irons, well then.... make that your hybrid/long iron setup as well!!
