Short iron, long iron, wood

Align your feet, hips, and especially your shoulders with the line of flight

When using a short iron, such as the 7, 8, 9, or the wedges, the club head should be placed in the middle of the feet and the feet should be spread so that they are about equal with the shoulders. The hands should be also placed slightly in front of the ball so that they are facing the interior of the leg closest to the target (the left leg for a right-handed player).

The back foot should be straight, perpendicular to the line of flight, just like the club face. The front foot (the leg closest to the target), should always be open by an angle of 30º - this applies to all types of clubs.

A shorter club means that the hands will be closer to the left leg (for right-handed golfers). When using the wedges, the distance between the hands and legs is the smallest. When using the No. 1 wood , the distance is the greatest, about two hand lengths. With a 7-iron, the distance is reduced to a few inches.

When using longer irons, such as the 6, 5, 4, 3, and 2, the distance between the feet should be increased in order to maintain a better balance and also to ease the transfer of weight from foot to foot during the downswing.

When using woods, the distance between feet should also be increased. The ball should be placed opposite to the heel of the foot open at 30º. The shaft of the club should be straight and perpendicular to the line of flight. The hands should be directly in line with the club head and not in front of it. 

When using an iron, place the club head between your feet and your hands slightly in front of the ball.

When you use a long iron, place the ball opposite the heel of the open foot. The other foot is placed a little bit further back.

The distance between your hands and legs increases if you use a longer club.
