Rich Greenwood, Director of Instruction at Tour Golf in Agoura Hills, California talks about the importance of Ball Position and the affects it can have on the swing.
Rich posted a video on both YouTube and RichGreenwoodgolf.com to show some of the problems that can occur with a poor ball position. He starts off by showing a couple of examples how having a back ball position can affect a players golf swing.

Both he describes as a complete power loss with inconsistent direction. Rich then brings in examples from other sports such as tennis and baseball to compare the similarities in where contact is made at impact.
