Step-in routine to set fairway wood ball position
To dial in ball position for fairway woods, the instructor uses a step-in routine: start with feet together and the ball in the middle of the stance, then take a small step with the lead foot and a slightly bigger step with the trail foot. The unequal steps leave the ball just ahead of center, which is the position he wants.
