variable ball position for one length irons

[Michaeljo]

Im reading here that dechambeau said in 2018 “I player my lower-lofted irons slightly higher-up in my stance,” Bryson says. “Not as much as variable-length, but a little further up can help golfers adapt to the lower-lofted irons.” https://golf.com/news/bryson-dechambeaus-3-tips-to-hitting-single-length-irons/  does he still do that now?

 

What clubs would you suggest moving the ball slightly higher-up in stance?

[Righty to Lefty]

There is only one point along the swing arc that will allow you to hit the ball with leverage at a given target and that is what should be the goal when changing the ball's position along the swing arc. That position is the exact same for all clubs hit off the ground but the build of the club makes it look like the ball position has changed when it is in fact in the exact same location to the low point.  The only other difference is a ball being hit off of a tee that you intend to hit up on as the low point will then be behind the ball to allow for an upward angle of attack.  If you are already levering the ball in its current position then moving the ball will ruin that as there is only one point in time that the club face will be oriented to your intended target.

Are you referring to the length of the club when you say "the build of the club"? If so, dechambeaus irons are all the same length, so I wonder why he'd move the ball position at all, in that case
