A position control method of an optical pickup head of an optical disc drive is provided. The optical disc drive has an optical pickup head for reading data from an optical disc and a step index for controlling the movement of the optical pickup head. The position control method includes: calculating a first position information of the optical pickup head according to the step index; reading an address information from the optical disc, calculating a second position information of the optical pickup head according to the address information; determining whether a difference between the first position information and the second position information is greater than a predetermined value; updating the step index when the difference is not greater than the predetermined value; moving the optical pickup head to an initial position when the difference is greater than the predetermined value, and setting the step index as zero.
