Alignment woes-CURED!
Posted on: 15 Jun 2023
Ah, alignment. The simplest part of the set-up, except when our students don’t listen and implement our suggestions. Using an intermediate target for alignment of the clubface is critical. So placing the club behind the ball BEFORE address, with the “eye” of the center of the club pointing “through” the ball and at a close […]
Say "nay" to sway!
