I have been taking lessons for about 2 months and I am engraining a new swing, but now I am getting to the nitty gritty type stuff where I need to really practice and tune in the details. One big detail is ball position at address. Last night while working with my driver I stopped for a second and took 3 practice swings. The first one I set the clubhead closer to my body and did my swing. The arc of the club as it swiped over top of the spot I was focused on was cutting across the ball out to in. I set up again with feet in the same spot and stretched the clubhead out about 2 balls further from my body and took another practice swing. This time the arc came through the ball from slightly inside and went through the ball strait and then started curving back inside maybe 6 inches or so past where the ball would be. Next I setup with my feet in the same spot again and stretched out another 2 inches and swung again. This time the club swiped the ball from way inside going out past the ball by about 7 or 8 inches.
I set up and hit a couple of balls in the middle position and absolutely roped them. The next one I set up a little closer to my body and hit a midflight fadey ball. The last one I set up really far away from my body and hit a hook off the toe. Is this a reasonable way to alter ball flight? Is the middle spot the goldilocks range for my swing? Is this a reasonable way to find where I should set up with the ball?
