**Are you standing too far from the golf ball? This test shows you**

Ever wonder if you’re standing too far from the golf ball? It’s a common problem that can lead to a number of swing flaws. But there’s a simple test you can do at home to determine if you’re in the right position.

To do the test, you’ll need a golf club and a mirror. Stand in front of the mirror and hold the club as if you’re about to hit a shot. Then, take a few practice swings, making sure to keep your eye on the ball. If you can see your feet in the mirror as you swing, you’re probably standing too far from the ball.

The ideal distance to stand from the ball varies depending on your height and swing, but as a general rule of thumb, you should be able to see the top of the ball when you address it. If you’re standing too far away, you’ll have to reach for the ball, which can cause your swing to become unbalanced and inconsistent.
