When positioned too far forward, the ball will tend to launch high and spin more than desired. On the other hand, placing too far back can cause you to hit a low shot with less spin. For most shots, the ideal ball position should be slightly inside your left heel (for right-handed players). This allows you to make solid contact and produce a mid-high flight path with a good spin rate. Experimenting with different positions can help you find what works best for your game and improve your accuracy on the course.
