A marksman would not shoot a rifle at a target without first visually aiming the rifle. To gain maximum accuracy, the marksman utilizes the rifle's designed aiming technology. This same principle directly applies to golf... Golf is a target game!

Time and time again, top professional instructors emphasize that misalignment of the golf shot is one of the most common errors, and golfers of all skill levels could lower their scores if they did a better job of aiming their clubs.

Every golf enthusiast in the word understands the necessity of aiming the golf club for accuracy, and independent research has proven better club alignment does improve accuracy and lowers golf scores.  While this concept has been covered extensively with putters, shot alignment of irons and woods has been a much-needed addition to the game of golf.

For a golf ball to travel on the intended path, the golf club must be aimed properly.  If alignment of the club is not correct, the golfer's hands, arms, head, shoulders, hips, knees, and feet will attempt to compensate for the misalignment.  This always leads to inconsistency.

It’s important for the golfer to start with the club properly aligned with the target line, then align their body to the club head. This is the only way golfers can consistently swing on plane and hit closer to the target.

Here's an easy procedure you should follow for every shot...

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

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

3rd.. Address the ball and aim the club head at the selected mark (and target line).

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

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