When analyzing the golf swing one of the easiest, yet often overlooked steps is proper alignment. The foundation of the golf swing is based on alignment which makes it very important, especially for beginners to establish a pre-shot routine that focuses on the fundamentals. If alignment is incorrect, the chances of hitting a good shot decrease dramatically.
Many golfers today have found that the use of simple training aids is the best way to work on alignment. Anything from golf clubs to special alignment sticks can be used during practice. Next time you are at the driving range use the following techniques to work on alignment.
If you practice alignment and make it part of your pre-shot routine your game will without a doubt improve. While practicing, make sure to focus on these simple steps and not just the swing itself.
