Default Re: Where should my weight be in stance? Heels or balls of feet?

[ QUOTE ]
here is something I've found out after hours on the range. For me the weight is biased towards the heels a bit as I like to hit a fade. I've found that playing doglegs that require me to hit a draw I'll lean my weight towards the balls of my feet. For a hole that I'll want to cut the ball more I'll make sure my weight is shaded even more towards my heels.

Kind of simple but very effective for me.

With your weight on your heels too much you will tend to pick the club up more steeply and to the outside more promoting a fade. Conversely with the weight too much on the balls of the feet you will take the club back lower and more to the inside.

Just a natural counter balance to an off balance position. But your instinctive feel is spot on, and provided you don't overdo that, is a good way of changing your ballflight without adjusting your swing too much.
