Thanks to this site, I have learned that the ball should be positioned relative to low point not the left foot.

This isnt to say that Hogan or Jack had things all wrong. You could I suppose adjust the balls position vis a vis low point for various clubs and shots but still have the ball in the same place in relation to the left foot, if you so chose.

You may have read in Leadbetters book that Hogan actually moved the ball back in his stance for wedges as opposed to his written recommendation to play everything inside the left foot etc. Hogan played the ball where it needed to be played. Back of low point for a wedge, opposite low point for a driver etc, etc.

Here is a photo of Allen Doyle with a driver. Is he playing the ball towards the middle of his stance? Weird looking eh? But upon further examination the ball would appear to be opposite low point. He's "good to go" for another fairway in regulation, again.

Thanks be to Yoda. (TBTY).
