Alignment Stick Cover – Rods, Rotation Path, and More

Alignment Stick Cover

Alignment Stick Cover help protect against scratches to keep your golf clubs looking pristine. It is made of premium quality leather, fully lined, with durable stitching design.

How many alignment rods do you need?

To check the position of your ball, you need an alignment lever, but two are preferable. With a stick, place the shaft between your feet pointing at the ball.

Here if you have two sticks, place one along the point line, pointing just to the left of your targets.

Using the alignment lever Alignment

  • The use of the same name is the most common and important way of using alignment rods. Here you can place sticks in any number of positions to check your aim or alignment.
  • This preferred method is to have one stick outside the ball and one through the toes. You can also place a stick along the heels, inside the ball, behind the ball, or in front of the ball.
  • A couple of thoughts on the lever setup. First, make sure you are careful when aiming the sticks.
  • Revenue the time to stand behind them and check that they are pointing where you think they are.
  • Checking your alignment is of no use if you’re aiming for the wrong thing.
  • Also, keep in mind that any club that is not in line with the golf ball should not be pointed at your target, it should be slightly to the right or left.
  • It is a subtle point that many people overlook.

Alignment Lever Use 2 – Ball Position

  • Consistent ball position is critical to a high level ball strike. To check the position of your ball, you need an alignment lever, but two are preferable.
  • With a stick, place the shaft between your feet pointing at the ball.
  • However, if you have two sticks, place one along your toe line, pointing just to the left of your target.
  • Here place the second stick perpendicular to the first, aiming at the ball. The reason I prefer to use two alignment sticks is that it is much easier to have a consistent ball position with a consistent target line.

Alignment Lever Use 3 – Rotation Path

  • The Alignment rods can also be used as a visual cue to change your swing path. However, as per with ball position, you can do this with one stick, but two or three is better.
  • Start by placing a stick along your toe line pointing just to the left of your target.
  • Then take a second club, place it a few inches behind the ball or in front of the ball, and point it along your desired swing path.
  • Keep in mind that the alignment clubs will be an exaggeration of your actual swing path. Not only is this okay, it’s necessary if you’re making a big change.
  • Moving the clubs 2 degrees from parallel won’t be noticeable, plus you’ll need to exaggerate the feel if you’re trying to change your swing.
  • It is very easy to move the alignment sticks out of position, especially if they are close to the toes or close to the ball.
  • Near save manually the hassle of resetting them, use a couple of tees to mark the location of the alignment sticks or lock them in place.
