This is a quick drill you can use at any time to check your distance from the ball.
Unlike most of the ball position tips I find, which focus on how far forward or backward in your stance to place the ball, this one keeps you from standing too far from or too close to the ball.
It's simple enough. Take your stance, straighten your trail knee, and lower the shaft until the butt of the club just touches the top of your trailing kneecap. Sounds like nothing special, but if your distance from the ball is incorrect, your chances of hitting a shank or a toed shot are greatly increased.
I know it's nothing complicated but, if you mis-hit the ball fairly often, it could save you a few shots during a round.
