Genius Way To Control Your Start Line

Kerrod Gray explains how ball position directly influences a golfer's start line and shot shape. By understanding 'The Ball Position Effect,' players can manipulate their club path and attack angle to hit draws or fades without making complex swing changes.

• A centered ball position promotes a neutral path and a straight start line.
• Placing the ball back in the stance encourages an in-to-out path, lower launch, and a draw bias.
• Moving the ball forward in the stance creates an out-to-in path, higher launch, and a fade bias.
• Use ball position as a simple adjustment to create different shot shapes while maintaining the same swing.
