Golf - Driver Versus Iron Setup. PGA head golf professional at the Bana Hills Golf Academy Rod Marshall shows us the differences in setup with a driver compared to an iron. It is important to hit up on the ball slightly with the driver swing, versus hitting down on the ball with the iron swing. Therefore the golf setup position needs to change from hitting a driver to an iron club. The golf ball is father away from our body when addressing a driver compared to an iron, however your arms should still hang down from the shoulders in the same manner. With an iron club the golf ball should be positioned in the middle of the stance, however the driver should see the golf ball positioned opposite the left heel.
