All facets of the game will be affected with poor execution of the ball position golf swing. It is the first lesson beginner golfers try to learn and it is part of the game experienced golfers try to master. Perfecting a golf swing begins with mastery of the ball position golf swing.

Consider these basic pointers on ball position golf swing if your golf shots are giving you problems in your golf game, or if you simply wish to raise your game some notches higher.

• Do not forget that the correct ball position needs to vary depending on the club. For example, you hit long irons differently with essentially similar ball position when you hit your wedges.

• For drivers, the proper ball position is near the outside foot. The outside foot is the left foot for right-handed golfers, and the right foot for lefties. The ball position lets you hit the golf ball on the upswing, so that your drive the ball to its farthest possible distance.

• For wedges and short irons, including the pitching wedge, the sand wedge, eight iron and nine iron, the ball position must be close to the center of the golfer's stance. The golfer must swing these golf club at their steepest angle because they are the shortest clubs. You can test if your ball position is correct for your wedges and short irons by making sure you take a divot right in front of your golf ball, not anywhere behind it.

• For middle irons, the ball position must equal somewhere between one and a half to one ball lengths reckoned from the middle of the golfer's stance. The divot he takes in such a ball position must be somewhat more shallow than with that for short irons.

• For woods and long irons, the ball position must be nearer to the center of the golfer's stance compared to the ball position for drivers.
