I'm never practicing again...

[thrasher]

without alignment sticks. I always knew I should practice with them, but I was too lazy to go out and get a set of sticks from Home Depot. Finally did it this past weekend, and DAMN, what a difference it really makes to not have to worry about your alignment. Plop 2 sticks down, make sure they are parallel, make sure your body is aligned to them, and bam, you have eliminated a whole host of potential issues relating to alignment. I will NEVER practice without them again, it is such an easy thing to do, pretty much a no brainer at this point


Do you guys use alignment sticks and find them to be helpful?

[RedCard03]

what did you pay for them at home depot and what were they specifically called.

I just use a yard stick. But remember, you can't take them out on the course with you. It would help to figure out why you are out of alignment. That's something that I've really been trying to concentrate on in my preshot routine.

I use them, always. Never practice without them.

They're actually driveway markers, just mention them to any rep there and they'll know exactly what you're talking about. Orange sticks with white marking meant to be stuck in the ground so you know where the end of the driveway is is winter. Think they were around $2 a piece.

That's exactly what they're for, so I know where I was out of alignmnent! The way I look at it, the more I practice and engrain solid fundaments, i.e. proper alignment, the more likely I am to take those fundamentals out onto the course. That, and the fact that almost all of the pros at the PGA Champ last year were using them on the driving range

same here, mine is just a single black rod. Don't even know where I found it, but I keep it in my bag

[Forest]

yeah, that's a great idea. But you can't take them on the course? Not in your bag?

You just can't lay them out on the tee box
