Golf Stance Alignment for Improving You Long Drive

Video Transcript

"Hi my name is Kensey Snyder on behalf of Expert Village. We’re going to talk about alignment or the aim of the golf club. So if you were to take your right hand and your left hand and point them out in front of you, you can see that they don’t point at the same thing, they go forever and parallel each other all the to the end of time. The same thing with the golf club happens, you do not point your body at the target, but rather there’s a line which is the ball target line and a line up above your body. They are called parallel lines, like train tracks. If I had my body on one side of the train tracks, the other side of the train track is the position of my ball and club, its called parallel weft. So when you aim the club, you are not aiming your body which is the biggest mistake I see with amateurs. If they’re trying to go somewhere in a distance this way, they point their body at the target and put the club down and then all of a sudden they are pointed way right, don’t make this mistakes. Alignment can be very tricky, it can be something you have to constantly be aware of of where you’re trying to go. So you point your body a little bit left of our intended target or intended line and from there, you set up in a square position with your knees, your hips, your shoulders, everything square and ready to go.
