My stance is a little wider than shoulder width. I like to use my legs in the swing and this helps me have better balance.

The ball position is typically in the center of the stance or just slightly ahead or behind center. This is with any club. I pretty much use the same ball position for a 4-iron that I do with a wedge. Even my driver I play pretty close to center. I have had the thing for 6 years now and that is just the best place to play it to get the maximum use of the shaft flex. If I play it too far forward it is hook city. The only club I will make a concious effort to play more towards the front foot is my 3-wood. It has a slightly stiffer shaft so I need a couple extra inches to get the face square.

This is all under normal shot conditions. Hills, uneven lies, flop shots, hooking a ball around a tree while keeping it under the branch, things like that, I will position the ball how I need to hit the shot.
