Low point in the swing is opposite the left shoulder as projected on the ground. So Hogan's one ball position complies. What makes the ball position "appear" to move is the location of the right foot. (We're talking right handed golfers) Widen the stance makes the ball position "appear" more forward in the stance. Narrow the stance it makes the ball position "appear" more into the center of the stance. In reality, the ball position in relation to the left shoulder has not changed.

My thinking has always been to not think of where the ball is in relation to your feet. Think of ball position in relation to your lead shoulder.

As an aside. I see your writing from Dublin. 23 years ago I took a trip commonly called a "honeymoon" to Ireland. Didn't take my clubs as I should have. Wished I had. Took the airplane ride into London. Then a train to the coast of Wales. Hopped a ferry across the Irish Sea to Dublin. Rented a car and drove on the wrong side of the road up the coast, then west to County Mayo. Then south to Cork. Then back to Dublin. Since then, I have vowed to make the trip again, but this time it will be with the clubs and without the "baggage".

P.S. the baggage I had 23 years ago has been jettisoned. My current loving wife is fully golf compliant.
