Distance away from the ball is something a lot of folks take for granted. But, the reality is there is an ideal distance away from the ball you should stand. In this video I take you through how to find that ideal distance through body posture and checkpoints and by actually measuring the distance.

Best video on getting correct distance to the ball (and correct posture) I've seen on TH-cam so far. Love your videos. Thanks! Subscribed!
Appreciate it!
Really helpful video Eric, I started shanking even a 7 iron and using this method I checked my posture and set up and recalibrated it on the range, not a single shank today! So very clearly explained and no waffle, great video, thanks!
Glad to hear that! More on that here: th-cam.com/video/OTQUWxZpTao/w-d-xo.html
Eric sent me this link after i responded to his 'tilt' video and mentioned distance from the ball. He reads these! EXCELLENT! Gonna buy a package from him next week! Thanks Eric!
You got it my friend---here to help :)
Really mind blowing how big a difference something so little makes. I was maybe 1 or 2 inches too far from it, and was struggling for getting my hip deep in backswing and was adding loft. Little change to stand closer and I was compressing the ball again
Love it Jimbo!
would the secretary spine tilt not be a good time to mention in this setup video 😊 for a complete setup procedure tks
Hey George!
I talk about the trail side tilt at setup in this video, you may enjoy!

Great video. I watched video of my swing today and discovered I was really flat at the top of my backswing. I discovered I was standing too far away from the ball. Was hitting some nasty hooks. I used the set up like Eric suggested and now my swing is on the plane.
Love it Charlie!
Hello Eric love the advise once we setup like you say should we not have a second spine tilt in the setup process , or is not necessary in our setup procedure tks
Hey George!
I talk about the trail side tilt at setup in this video, you may enjoy!

Xander Schauffele uses an alignment stick and puts a measured marks on it where each club should be. Driver thru wedges. Even an old yard stick would work.
:) Thanks for watching, Tony!
Well said man - that's a nice check and balance for the knees. Crazy how many amateurs have way tooooo much knee bend at address, nicely done ✅
Thank you sir!
I am confused about one particular thing. You said we should always align our armpit, knee and ball of foot. However, as clubs get longer, we should be standing taller, right? How exactly can we stand any taller while still keeping everything lined up? If our 3-points are properly aligned, we should always stand at the same exact height, no? The only thing that should alter our height, while in the aligned posture, would be widening and narrowing our stance. Ontop of this, considering we are supposed to have a wider stance with longer clubs, in theory, we would actually be standing shorter with a driver than we do with a high iron, no? Am I misunderstanding something?
Hey Evan!
The length of the club getting longer PLUS the LIE ANGLE OF THE CLUB CHANGING allows you to get taller as clubs get loner and keep balance points. More side bend from face on and stance wider as well
This is such an important question. I like Eric's reply to you, but I'd love to see it demonstrated in a video. Eric, do you have another video where you go over this? Where does the armpit align in relation to the knee cap for, say, driver versus wedge? And/or are the knees bent a little less?
Thank you, Eric. This the first time I have seen this explained so perfectly. Can’t wait to try this at the range and check my posture.
You did mention different clubs briefly, but how does it work? I am assuming that by taking the same approach to set up, for a 4 iron the ball would be further away from you than a 9 iron, because the club is longer?
That it correct...and the posture will gradually be more UPRIGHT as the clubs get longer generally
Eric Cogorno Golf so wot would your posture be for a 3w and a hybrid compared to a 7i
Slightly more upright...club is longer and lie angle changes
Ok. JUST WATCH THIS VID!
I’ve just signed up for monthly lessons with Eric based on watching two vids and some feedback with half an hour practice.
I know it’s not always going to work as quickly as this and some things will take weeks to build into my swing but posture is key. It’s the base for everything. Get this and other stuff has a chance.
I started the day with a really shallow backswing but after watching another vid prescribed by Eric it’s now really quite steep. Still working on a shallower downswing but that will come. BUT I am now flushing the ball without thinking about it.
Cheers Eric. You are worth every penny. ⭐️
Ps. I dont normally get this enthusiastic! 😂
Haha I love it! Excellent! Look forward to working together --lets do it! :)
Does these setup fundamentals also apply to the driver?
...ive been experimenting with the moe norman style single plane swing with a high handle for driver.. Man it feels simple and easy....!
Currently working to get my check points worked and grooved for setup so i can get a good shoulder and body turn.
Hey! Totally OK to have a higher handle at setup if you would like! Generally speaking having the butt of the club point roughly to your belt line would be AVERAGE....more above that would promote a bit more PUSH/DRAW....lower would promote more PULL/FADE
Does the distance change if you have a flatter swing rather than an upright swing?
Hey! It can a little from player to player but I would work off these as a base line/starting point and adjust from there
If you watched the tour championship, one of the announcers pointed out Justin Thomas’s distance away from the ball. He said, “Ben Hogan said you can never be too close to the ball...” when I practice, I try to get as close to the ball as I feel is comfortable, I notice it promotes a inside out path naturally. The problem is when playing a round, I tend to creep back to my old habits of standing further away, thinking that adds width. I know it is the opposite, just years of muscle memory kicking in. I eventually get closer, after 70 shots or so😂
Hey Bill!
Appreciate the message!
I do think you can get too close.
I also think you can get too far.
IF you have to alter the balance in the feet or posture because of the distance from the ball thats where it can become a problem
Agreed. Just adding a quote from some golfer named Hogan😂
Your wrong Billy boy it was Byron Nelson that said you can’t stand to close to the ball Reference : Byron Nelson Winning Golf 1947 .
Enjoyed the video. The title reminds me of a dialogue between a pro and an amateur during a pro-am. The amateur duffs his driver and the ball dribbles off the tee. He turns to the pro and says, "What did I do wrong?". The pro answers: "You stood too close the ball after you hit it." The amateur says, "Um. Thanks."
:)
Excellent!!!!
Appreciate it!
👍 thanks a lot
Our pleasure!
But what if u set up for a (Norman or DeChambeau) single-plane swing??
I probably wouldn't :)
Could standing too far from the ball be linked to early extention? Thank you :)
Absolutely!
Eric, what do you think of leaning the butt of the club against the left thigh? It should be a a few inches above the knee cap. A measure you can do on the course.
Thats fine!
How far away should we stand with pitch/chip shots? Thanks 👍🏼
Search my name and "chipping" and you will see all the details...just over a grip length from right toes to ball as stock
Eric, I know this video is 3 years old. what if your really Bow Legged? No one ever talks about it?
Hey Jim I would still make sure you hit the same checkpoints....armpits over knee caps and balls of feet is the key
@@CogornoGolf Thank You
This just seems to close more me. 19 inches or so. I stand around 4-5 steps down from the end of grip
Whatever works for you
@@CogornoGolf Okay I measure and 21 inches with 52 and about 22 with an 8 irons. And hitting pretty much out of the middle
Hey Eric good morning are you located In Pennsylvania by any chance?
Yup! We are in Bethlehem, PA. Where are you?
I’m in Philly, whats it’s gonna take to come and meet you?🤣🤣
Whatdya got??? :)
Just a meet and greet and get some tips and maybe shoot a round!!
Haha I meant how much money :)
