proper alignment of the club head

Proper alignment of the club head-

An important consideration when aligning your golf club with the ball - in hopes that it will be aimed directly at the hole - is that the club head has been align properly. If alignment of the golf club is not correct, then the golfer's arms, hands, head, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet will have to correct for the misalignment. This always leads to inconsistency.

It is important for the golfer to start with proper club alignment, then align the body to the club head. This is the only way golfers can consistently swing on plane and therefore hit closer to the target.

Because the club's toe is higher then the heel, the slanted top plane of the iron aims about 20 degrees to the right of the target line. Because the ball and grass obscure the iron's leading edge and the golfer is standing off to the side of the target line, it is difficult to aim properly.

Tips on aligning the ball...

1st ... Stand behind the ball and visualize a line between the selected target and the ball.

2nd ... Pinpoint a mark a few feet in front of the ball and on the target line.

3rd ... Address the ball these indicators to aim the club at the selected mark and the target itself.

4th ... The club is now aimed directly at the target. Align your body parallel to the indicator and target line.

Now that your club and body are aligned properly, finish your normal routine and experience the advantage of increased accuracy.
