Best Golf Swing Alignment Tip

Dear Golfer,

The root causes of most golfers swing issues can be summed up as follows:

1. Your golf swing alignment is off.

2. You are not swinging the golf club on plane.

Proper golf swing alignment can be accomplished quite easily with some practice at home. Like a scope on a high powered rifle - proper swing alignment is crucial to hitting the golf ball to your target every time.

Here’s a 5 step drill for proper golf swing alignment every time:

1. Lay a golf club behind the ball pointing parallel to your target line illustrated in the PIC above.
2. Lay a golf club on the ground about a foot in front of where your feet will be – like the picture above shows – both clubs on the ground should be parallel to each other.
3. For proper ball positioning, lay a 3rd club perpendicular to and on top of the club nearest your feet like the picture above illustrates. The club should point directly at the ball and sit directly below the logo on your shirt – left side of your chest(by using your shirt logo as a ball positioning guide for ALL YOUR CLUBS, what this essentially is doing is placing the ball more in the middle of your stance with your shorter irons, and placing the ball more closer to your left foot with your longer clubs – this is because as your golf club length increases – so does the width of your stance).
4. Now take your stance with a mid iron like a 7 and make sure your shoulders, hips, and feet are all parallel to the club nearest your feet. You can ensure your shoulders and hips are aligned properly by placing a club against your shoulders then your hips, making sure this club is parallel to the one on the ground. Adjust your shoulders/hips/feet as needed until parallel to the club nearest your feet. This is gonna feel quite different at first if you’re used to having improper swing alignment.
5. Take some practice swings imagining you are sending the ball to your target. Your target should be relatively small but big enough so you can see it easily – like a tree branch in the distance. Some people imagine seeing a line that represents the flight of the ball, whatever target visualization works for you. Practice this drill over and over until it becomes automatic, this may take some time but is well worth the results. You can practice this drill on the range while you hit balls as well. The pros do this drill all the time!

Here’s a tip for swinging the golf club on plane:

 Swinging the golf club on plane, requires either a swing coach or a training aid that gives you instant feedback when your golf swing is off plane. Since swing coaches can be very spendy, I tend to recommend golf training aids where you can practice in the comfort of your own home, especially during these long, cold winter months just a head for a lot of us golfers.

   I enjoy a round of golf as much as I can. Disappointingly, I don’t have as much time as I used to. Sure it’s the similar situation for a lot of people. – Newton
