Video Tip - More Alignment
One of the unexpected pleasures associated with Hit Down Dammit! has been the receipt of many wonderful letters. What is nice in my job as opposed to others is that the letters are rarely negative. Last week I received several letters simply thanking me for explaining alignment. But, I also received one letter saying my explanation was, well, here, you read it:
Clive:
I've heard this tip several times before . . . I thought it was dumb then, and it's dumb now. If all a golfer has to worry about is being aligned a foot or two right of the target, you shouldn't need ANY advice.

Okay then. Obviously our reader didn't understand what was being said, this time or the several times before. And he wouldn't be the first - I once had an engineer try to convince me that if you aim your body at the flag rather than the ball/clubface at the flag, you should only miss your target by a couple of feet. And he was an engineer.
Who knows, there may be many of you out there thinking the same thing, so, this week's video tip will endeavour to explain that misalignment is about "degrees" and not "feet".
You may well ask why go to so much trouble to explain the importance of alignment and the answer is because misalignment does not just make you miss the target, but it sabotages your swing as your body makes repeated compensations to try to swing to the target you want to go to, as opposed to the target you are actually aligned to. Proper alignment is hugely important in developing a good golf swing.
