I use the line on the ball exclusively. I also have one of those plastic dealies that came with my bag where you draw the long line down the equator and two perpendicular lines on the sides. I just started using that and I like that,...

This is probably on here a bazillion times, but I'm too lazy to look, so I'll start (perhaps) another thread on this subject. I'm hoping that someone with club building knowledge or shaft changes experience can guide me down the path,...
