As I walked the range on the Wednesday of WM Phoenix Open week, I was struck by the sheer number of players using alignment sticks. Nearly every single one had one down on the ground as they practiced. Others, like Charley Hoffman, used two, grid-style. Why?
“Ball position,” he told me. “So the driver ball sometimes can creep back — even with any club. So I’ve got to make sure it stays forward.”
Simple advice — but also revelatory. If pros — who hit more balls in a week than most of us do in months — require the aid of an alignment stick to keep bad habits at bay, it goes without saying that we recreational players need to utilize them even more. Hand up — not only could I use more range time in my life in general, I could definitely use more alignment-stick range time.
That’s why Hazy Sticks are a must-have addition to every bag. The 45-inch long sticks are composed of 100 percent genuine hickory wood with gloss protective coating and nickel end caps. Use them to lock in your stance and ball position on the range, or as a guiding rail on the green.
In addition to helping you dial in your alignment, Hazy Sticks are a stylish addition to your set as well, and available in a wide range of color combinations, like patriotic red, white and blue. You can even get them engraved for an additional fee.
