How does the classic "rule" of moving the ball back in the stance more the shorter the club is apply to TGM? I tried the fact/illusion approach but could not conclude: FACT (?) The bottom of the arc is always under the forward armpit so the ball position should always be 1-2 inches back from that. No matter what club used. ILLUSION (???) Using a shorter club will (depending on whether the golfer uses impact or address attitude?) make the correct ball position appear to be further back while its is really not. The illusion comes from the difference in wrist positions and right forearm plane du to the difference in shaft length.... As you can see I am getting lost. Not able to make up the illusion. If there is one. I'd be grateful for your thoughts;[list=1][*] How is the correct ball position determined for each club?[*] If not obvious by the answer to 1. above, is the idea of moving the ball back in the stance: Something that helps "flippers" An illusion due to the different in right forearm plane and subsequent wrist adjustments. Something else?[/list:ceae20cb67] metallion View Public Profile Send a private message to metallion Visit metallion's homepage! Find all posts by metallion
