In one of their videos, Yoda and Jeff demonstrate how ball position is moved further back from the left shoulder for shorter clubs. In the video, Jeff assumes his stance and has his hands in front of his left thigh as he holds several clubs of differing lengths at the same time. The shorter clubs had the clubhead soled further back from the left shoulder. I was thinking about the implications of this and had the following thoughts:
- The shorter the club, the more the clubface should be closed relative to the back of the left hand. So at the top or end, the clubface looks a lot more shut with a wedge than with a driver.
- The shorter the club, the greater the amount of right wrist bend set at impact fix since the clubhead is soled further back in the stance.
- Low point occurs when the hands are under the left shoulder but because shorter clubs are soled further back, the low point for shorter clubs is further back than with longer clubs.
- The left arm flying wedge is not a perfectly straight line between the left arm and the clubshaft when viewed from in front of the golfer. The shorter the club, the more the left wedge contains an angle between the left arm and the club shaft.
For myself, no change, middle of the stance, for irons, unless for working the ball.
Slightly close to the front foot for driving, unless for working the ball.

"Sustain (Yang/陽) the lag (Yin/陰)" is "the unification of Ying and Yang" (陰陽合一).
The "LAW" creates the "effect", which is the "motion" or "feel", with the "cause", which is the "intent" or "command".
"Lag" is the secret of golf, passion is the secret of life.
