Re: More help with alignment please

Lay your club on the ground, it is legal. time consuming and looks funny, but if it helps. Once you get a feel for how it looks, you probably won't need to do that much, as at first.

You can not leave a club on the ground to indicate the line while swinging, but you can lay the club your using down, check your line , then pick it up, get your grip, without moving from your alignment, and swing away..lol

Don't think I haven't considered it but where I play my life wouldn't be worth living if I pulled a trick like that - I'd just get laughed at all the way back to the car park.

No, sadly I think I need a different solution

A quick update for you guys.

Went to the range on Sunday and tried focusing on a point in the distance within a "cone of acceptance" as Greg puts it elsewhere, sadly no difference at all.

So I replaced the alignment club on the ground and back came the "nice drive". Hmm. Stood back for a moment or two and thought about it (there are times when I still miss the ciggies ) and then it came to me.

It wasn't alignment as such, rather that without an alignment club I was bring the driver inside too quickly and depending on how the club face was at impact creating all sorts of problems with ( I guess) too much of an in to out swing - subsconsciously having a club on the ground seemed to start the swing on the correct path - worked on this and by the end of the session was reasonablty happy.

Took the changes to the course yesteday and whilst, as you might expect, the transition from range to course was less than seamless - only taking 12 drivers each spaced apart is different to ball after ball from the bucket - I think I'm on the right track.
