A quick 3-step primer for picking the right golf ball for you

**How to Position the Ball for Different Clubs**

The correct positioning of the golf ball can significantly impact your shot. Here’s a quick guide:

* **Wedges (short clubs):** Place the ball in the middle of your stance. This position provides greater control and accuracy for shorter distances.

* **Mid-irons:** Move the ball slightly forward in your stance compared to wedges. This allows you to generate more distance while maintaining control.

* **Long irons:** Position the ball even further forward in your stance. The increased distance from your body helps generate greater power and carry.

* **Woods:** Similar to long irons, place the ball forward in your stance. This position promotes maximum distance and height for your shots.
