Practicing with a specific target in mind is a key ingredient for playing great golf.  Practicing with a purpose and establishing your body parallel to the target line as well monitoring four general ball positions is a great way of spending your time in an efficient manner.  Make sure to vary the clubs you practice with and always change your target based on the club you are using.  The four general locations for ball position start with your short irons including your wedges, 9 iron and 8 iron which need to be in the center of your stance.  Ball position 2 which is one ball forward of the center of your stance would be ideal for the mid irons including your 7 iron, 6 iron, and 5 iron.  Ball position 3 which is two balls forward of the center of your stance would be ideal for all long irons, utility clubs and your fairway woods.  Finally, ball position 4 which is three balls forward of the center of your stance is recommended for your driver.
