ALIGNMENT Lay two rods on the ground parallel to target line approximately 1.5 feet apart. Hit balls focusing on feet, hips, and shoulders parallel to rods and using rods to visualize proper swing path.
|
BALL POSITION Align rods in a "T" position with a rod running horizontal as your target line and a rod running vertical as your ball position.
|
CHIP/ANGLE Lay one rod behind ball just outside and parallel to right foot. Keep weight on left foot and move clubhead away with arms and shoulders keeping wrist firm. Miss rod back and through to feel proper angle for chip and sensation of hitting "trapping" down on ball for iron shots.
|
PUTTING Lay two rods parallel to hole approximately a foot apart. Visualize correct line and build confidence training yourself to use a pendulum motion back and through. Use the closest rod as your eyeline and the farthest rod as your line of break.
|
DRAW Lay one rod down your target line keeping your hips, shoulders, and club face square to this line. Place the other rod on an inside and out swing path line. When rods are placed in the correct position they should form an elongated X with the tips approximately 6” apart on both sides. This set-up will promote an inside to out swing path producing a draw.
|
FADE Just reverse for a fade. Lay one rod down your target line keeping your hips, shoulders, and club face square to this line. Place the other rod on an outside and in swing path line. When rods are placed in the correct position they should form an elongated X with the tips approximately 6” apart on both sides. This set-up will promote an outside to in swing path producing a fade.
