Hi Gerry,
You do not want to move the ball back for your fairway shots as this tends to deloft the club (particularly on long irons and fairway woods) The answer to eliminating the fat shot is to transfer your weight across a little more quickly. Here is a link to that particular tip – http://www.ritson-sole.com/golf-tips/november-2002-preventing-the-fat-shot/
Remember, any time you have a problem with your game, go to the website under “Golf Tips” and I’m sure you will find what you are looking for. If not, please send a message as you did this month and I will be happy to respond.
Keep swinging!
Mel.
