Great swings can be ruined if you have the ball in the wrong place. Each club requires a different ball position however, you can simplify it by keeping the ball in the same place and simply widen your stance.
In this video I discuss the ideal way to manage ball-position with every club.
About the Single Plane Golf Swing.
The Single Plane golf swing is not a quick fix golf technique. It is a system, beginning at address, that simplifies the most important moment of the golf swing - impact.
Starting at address on two planes where the arms hang straight down at address, the Conventional golf swing is complicated. Because the arms are hanging straight down, a conventional golfer must lift the body into impact creating stress on the back.
This upward movement to accommodate the two planes is unnecessary.
The Single Plane Golf swing simplifies the golf swing by eliminating the need for the upward movement by starting and impacting on the same plane.

Your alignment tool will be in my bag next week. I have already improved 50 percent just watching you on YouTube and spending an hour on the range the last 30 days. I'm loving the game again! Thanks Todd!

I never practice at the range without the Alignment Ball Trainer (ABT). It is incredible how it keeps you correct at setup and the ‘feel’ on the course becomes more natural. It also helps avoid ball creep. Correct setup may not be everything but it’s damn close.

Good morning, Just a heads up to Canadian's, the total price for the trainer and chipping trainer delivered was $ 260.00 CAD I bought these to support Todd because of all of the years of free advice on here that really helped my swing, and of course to have a training aid for over the winter to keep my swing in place. But with our bad dollar, tax, delivery and duty it really added up. Wish it was all going to him instead.

This alignment tool rocks. I have been using for 6 months.
-
The training aid is definitely worth the money spent. Helped out with the swing. Hardest one to hit is a hybrid for some reason
-
Well, that sure helped! It’s all about lead shoulder. Off to the range I go. Thanks 🙏
-
Crazy how widening the stance affects the impact position. I realized it about a year ago during one of my practice sessions focused on BP. Truly helps people, practice wide and narrow, you'll feel it big time, especially if you go from very slow to very fast swings.

Thank you Todd I'm hitting my irons better because of ball positions I love it
-
Great video and explanation, keep up the good work.
-
Absolutely beautiful video!! Thank you!!
-
Clear explanation. Thank you.
-
another revelation of what I am struggling with THANKS AGAIN !!!!
-
This most likely explains why my 5iron tends to go straight but right, but not all the time. Todd even seen one of my video shots where I hit the 5iron dead straight. I need to play around more with my ball position.
-
Next can you discuss is ball flight. Use 9 iron example again and say high flight and wider stance, how does that effect squaring the face and likewise with lower flight, with narrow stance. Thank you for the great content and I’m a one planer because of you.

What discount code?

Have one! Great tool, highly recommended!

I am trying to wrap my head around the shoulder position relative to the ball. Would it be correct to say that the shoulder should be about where you want club to bottom-out on the downswing? So, the shoulder is behind the ball with the driver, but in front of the ball with most of the other clubs (hybrids, irons)? I just ordered the alignment tools (short and long game). John
