Golf Tips - The Secret And Crucial Role Of Alignment In Supercharging Your Game!
The alignment is an absolutely crucial and vital part to any
golfer's game. You swing round your body, therefore if your body
is offline, your swing in turn will be off line and out of sync,
resulting in a poor swing and a poor shot, usually ending up
deep in the rough.
When setting up to the ball, firstly ensure the clubface is
square to the 'ball to pin line' (the line between the ball and
the pin), and ensure that your shoulders, hips and feet are all
parallel to the 'ball to pin line', if these 3 are not aligned
and one is out, a good body turn is ruined with a poor swing
resulting.
When training, on the driving range or wherever you can
practise, a useful technique for lining up is to place a club on
the floor and check that you're your feet, hips and shoulders
line up with each other, the shoulder alignment is particularly
crucial because your body turn starts with your shoulders.
Ideally, you should be lining your body up slightly to the left
of the target (slightly to the right for left hand players), as
opposed to trying to line your body up with the target itself.
On the course a simple test to see if this is the case, is to
look at the target, if you can see your left shoulder, then you
are lined up to too far to the right (visa versa for
lefthanders), your shoulder should be just out of sight.
Poor Alignment can have several affects, these are all negative.
Aligning too far to the left most commonly leads to the slicing
of the
ball, this occurs because you are not parallel to the
line running from ball to pin. As a result the backswing is
limited so an 'out to in' swing results. As a consequence the
club face is slightly open on impact which generates side spin
on the ball. This leads to the common problem which is the slice
which I will explain in another article.
If you align too far to the right, the opposite will take place
and a hook will occur due to the 'in to out' swing of the club,
although quite common with beginners and inexperienced players.
Often they will subconsciously become aware of this and try to
adjust mid-swing, over adjusting by opening up the clubface as
impact approaches. This again results in the slicing of the
ball, which is very difficult to control and usually leads to
'the rough'.
Alignment is an often overlooked and crucial part to any
golfer's game and therefore must be addressed for you to succeed
at any level of golf. For as long as you're alignment is out,
you will never be able to consistently hit straight accurate
shots and will increasingly find yourself hooking or slicing
into the rough, turning those pars into bogies and taking your
round from a 75 to 85.
So get that alignment sorted and go shoot some birdies.
