Mastering your setup is crucial if you want to lower your scores this season, and one of the best keys you can focus on when practicing these fundamentals is alignment. Understanding the basics of aim and alignment will not only boost your ball striking but it helps improve your wedge game and smooth out your putting stroke.
A great way to practice good alignment is to use an alignment tool like the Alignment Ball, which you can get for $10 off on Fairway Jockey right now.
Alignment Ball
This compact ball is easy to set up and stow away since it’s about the size of a baseball and splits in two when you need to use it. It features built-in spokes and 20 feet of retractable cable, which encourages you to get creative with your practice sessions. Unlike standard alignment rods that are rigid and can’t be bent, all you need is a couple of tees to set up alignment aids on both your toe line and clubface line.
Use this handy device to check your ball position, body alignment, aim, start line and more on full swing shots. Then, take it to the green to check key elements of your chipping like ball position, aim, alignment and even use it to mark landing spots. You can also use it on the green to develop a better stroke by working on eyeline position, green reading skills and confirm that you’re starting putts on line every time.
With this tool in your bag you can hone in your fundamentals and build a better foundation for both full swing and short game shots, which will help you improve your performance from tee-to-green and lower your scores in the process.
