Alignment Sticks

[Nick_Toye]

Decided to get some alignment sticks today. See if it can help with my putting and my body rotation when driving.

Not had chance with the swing yet, but definitely with my putting.

They are great for putting head covers on!

Mine are in Sisshhhhhh...... Iv the living daylights battered out of them from practicing over last winter.....

If only I could use them every shot out on the course.
They work a treat on the range.

I left mine in my bag and the scratched the head of my driver!

Sorry, was looking for feedback.

Used them today on the range and definitely improved my driving technique.

Alignment sticks are brilliant. Don't go to practice without them :thup:

Sorry, was looking for feedback.

Apologies, it didn't say in your original post.

Feedback:

Mine stick further out the top of my bag than my driver so have to be careful when putting my bag into the boot of my car in case they snag and get snapped.
As Murph says, very handy for somewhere to hang headcovers.
They do make an annoying little clinking sound when my trolley bounces around.

Best of all though.....they make you look like a good player :thup:

Hope this helps

Yeah I assumed too much in my OP. I tend to do that too much.

I'm only going to take them on the range, its where I need to hone my driving.

Seriously though, they are an excellent training aid, good for working on swing path, takeaway etc. Also good if you put one along your club shaft then grip the club as normal so you can then see where your shaft is pointing.

Personally though I prefer just to stand there and bash balls without thinking about the mechanics

 

[Nick_Toye]

Now I know your kidding.

It's all about the mechanics. I'm slowly picking up all the things I need to do when I swing my club,

Do I take that to mean you don't bother taking them out of the bag?
I assume they can't be used during play?

I'm with this!

nope they cant be used during play, in fact no training aid can be or during the course of the round. Somebody (cant remember who!) on the PGA tour was DQ recently for this.

No they don't come out of my bag, as stated earlier they are just there to make me look good.

I did once use them during a round as water diviners, they say putts always break towards water and I was checking for underground streams but nobody reported me so I got away with it
