Thanks Joe

Yeah can help for all types of shots, I’d be lost without it

Love it! Thanks and glad the vidoe helped , can take a little practice but does really help

Thanks Blair appreciate that

Thanks Geoff appreciate it and glad it helped

The foot shuffle is a killer, sometimes it can feel harder to step off and re set but so important to do so

Played today and kept this (and other lessons of yours) in mind and hit 77... very pleased! Just hope the HC doesn’t get hit too much! Thanks again!

Fascinating, I feel as though this applies to me. Time to get to work

I agree, get the first two correct and you should be pretty close to ideal

Thanks Neill

A huge contributor to confusion over how to align I see it beginners is CONCEPTUAL. They think to hit a straight shot you must bring the club head as straight as possible like landing a plane on a runway and smack the back of the ball “dead” center on ball relative to target line + Those beginners also have no clue about side bend and why that is so critical for good ball striking. When I show them how to side bend their path always becomes shallower and more correctly inside-square due to maintaining bend in the right arm keeping hands from being pulled out by club force. I let them address the ball as they had, aiming to strike the back of ball dead center + with square to target face and their shots always start to hook to the left, especially if coming up early to see where ball goes. That’s when I introduce them to the concept of needing to have face open a bit as it strikes the ball, and needing to aim inside of center >+ because with the side bend and more inside path the face closes more turning the time it takes to compress and rebound, enough to put hook spin in the ball. When starting to hook the logical thing would appear to be open just open the face but that will start putting slice spin on the ball unless the aim point where the opened face picks up the ball is moved more inside. This baffles most beginners until I created a curved “entrance ramp” at an angle to the target line and show them in slow motion how a swing with ideal side bend brings the club head into the ball from the inside like that with wrist action twisting the face from open to closed at the same time. I turn the alignment line on the range ball from straight at the target | to the same angle as the “gate” created with the tees / and show them holding ball on face how the face carries it and releases it. I have them make actual swings through that angled gate of tees until their conscious brain accepts the new concepts of: 1) side bend, 2) aim inside of center of ball, 3) strike ball with face open to target anticipating dwell time / angle and release of ball further to left that where face was aiming when struck.

Thanks Allen

Love it! Doesn’t have to take an age, but a good routine really helps

Well just had our Senior monthly medal, and shot a nett 67. What a difference the alignment tips have made, and that was the first time I'd

Tried the various routines .Thanks Chris.👍😃😃

Thanks Rick

Thanks appreciate that

Thanks Felix

Thanks

Thanks appreciate that

Thanks Mikey

Thanks Robert, I certainly think it will help

The head rotation is so key Alan, definitely give that a go

@@ChrisRyanGolf Chris, thought I’d follow up from yesterday. Played in a scramble today with folks from my community and I know I was guilty of lifting my head to check alignment. Used the rotation method today and had great success. Thanks for the tip. Enjoy watching your instructional videos.
