For me everything is played off my lead ear except driver.Driver is played inside front heel.
The width changes per club in hand.Driver ,3wood and hybrids -width is where insteps are just outside shoulder width.Long irons half foot narrower.Mid irons full foot narrower.Short irons 1 1/2 foot narrower. Reason why I pick off ear,besides that's what I was taught- is something needs to be consistant with the swing.So,ball position it is. |

When I take my stance for regular full swing shots, the ball is inline with the inside of my left heel, maybe just a tad back in my stance. The two exceptions are specialty shots, or when using my driver. My driver ball position a little more forward. Specialty shots may require a different ball position, or stance due to situation at hand. Once I get my left (forward) foot set, I adjust my stance width by moving my right (rear) foot forward, or backwards. My stance width takes care of the different club lengths, and is part of my pre-shot routine.

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. |

All Irons- middle of stance (unless I am doing some kind of shot-shape, hi, low etc) Wedges - middle (same as irons on shot shape) Actual stance is shoulder to very slightly larger than shoulder width. Toes are in/out/straight to target, it varies and again depends on what I am trying to do with the shot. Weridly enough I like to chip further back in my stance than most, I find that when I do miss-strike my chips occasionally, I get a little more forgiveness this way. |
