Set up = Ball Position

[strav]

I want to review the beginning basics. I would like to look at setting up and the address routine of 3-F-5. Also, and I do not want to ignite a fire storm, I cannot find anything in the book on ball position. I would like to relate it to my swing low point.

Any tips or suggestions on these subjects will be welcome.

These thoughts from Johnny Miller on ball position relate to swing low point and appear logical.

"The correct ball position at address is another important fundamental. My key here is to use the left shoulder, not the feet, as a reference point for where to play the ball. Unless you’re trying to hit an intentionally high or low shot, the ball should always be played off the middle of your left deltoid, right about where the muscle attaches to the bone. This allows you to use the best part of your swing arc, with your left arm returning to impact fully extended from the shoulder, and the right arm trailing and supplying the power.
Why not use the left heel as a guide for ball position? The feet are relative. If you have a very wide stance, playing the ball off the left heel will put the ball too far ahead of your shoulders. If you have a very narrow stance, playing the ball off the left heel will put the ball too far back; playing the ball off your left shoulder gives you a constant reference to work from."
