Golf Tips: Using Alignment Sticks

Most amateur golfers miss to the right.  Granted, many of those misses are due to the average amateur hitting a slice.  Many misses to the right are not slices though.  What's the issue? Eyes Studies have shown that most golfers misalign with their eyes.  What looks to be a square alignment is most often a setup which is aiming to the right.  So when the golfer hit is well, the shot misses to the right. In a properly aligned stance, the golfer's feet, shoulders, and hips should be parallel to the target line.  A great way to work on this alignment is via the use of alignment aids.  A common aid can be simply laying a golf club on the ground parallel to the target, then lining the toes up.  Rather than using a club, many like to use useful alignment sticks or rods, which are very light and easy to carry in the golf bag. Frogger offers a very nice set of alignment sticks, seen below. Click the image above or the following link to Frogger Golf alignment sticks.
