Arnold Palmer Golf Ball Position Tips

Video Transcript

"If you want to swing and hit the ball like Arnold Palmer, it's good to have his ball position which in general was farther back than most golfers. He hit a low ball, a hard ball with his arms. And it makes sense you know to hit a high ball with a low or flat back swing. You have to make some adjustments that are very difficult. Upright and high ball yes, but low goes with flat. And low goes with ball back in your stance. Very important. So this is a middle iron, and I'm going to play this middle or even a little farther back than middle. I want to hit a low shot because low, intent, flat, low, low, a hard ball. Some people say well I want to hit these are people that shoot about a hundred and seventy five for nine holes. I want to hit a high shot because it'll hold the green. You hit the ball on line and be happy. I'm sorry for yelling at you. Play the ball back. Have some intent. Play the ball in the middle or behind. There was a time where they would play the ball nine iron off the back heel. Eight, seven, six, five, exactly in the middle, four, three, two, driver off the left heel. Now the ball position seems to be farther up with all the clubs. But if you're an arm swinger, you want to try to swing like the great Arnold Palmer, you play the ball back, back in your stance. And that ball's going to go low. Play it back. Hit it hard. Swing like Arnold Palmer."
