"The Finest Golf Alignment Product I've Ever Seen"

The Golf Alignment Aid is a very simple device to set up and use to improve your golfing ability. While the way it improves you is complex, it all happens as a matter of routine when you practice and is memorised internally in your mind and muscle memory.

By practising regularly with consistent body alignment, ball position, clubface alignment and posture, your consistency and ball striking ability should improve immeasurably. Practising with the above parameters always being consistent should encourage a better angle of attack and eliminate the majority of the problems that cause poor shots with poor direction and shape.

By having all of the above parameters constant, the only factors that will affect the shape and direction of your shots will be the swing path of your clubhead and its position at impact (open/square or closed).

Why you can improve your game without changing your swing

As golfers we can all appreciate just how difficult it is to hit fairways off the tee and green in regulation, even the professionals find these tasks difficult. Statistics for the top professional players on the EUROPEAN TOUR show that the best players are hitting 80.7% of fairway (11.3 x 14) and 75.8% of green (13.7 x 18) per round. It must be stressed that these are the best figures for the top players. The more fairways and greens in regulation that you miss the more difficult the game becomes and the harder it is to put a score together.
  
In an article published in the American Golf Magazine under the title of “ Why Your Aim Stinks”, experiments were conducted at the PGA Learning centre in Port St. Luice, Florida, USA. The experiment was taken through the entire spectrum of golfers from Tour Professionals to high handicappers over a range of different distances varying from 70 to 130 to 190 yards and with a driver.

The findings are as follows:

1. Tour professionals and low handicappers were more consistent at getting their alignment correct than were high handicappers.
2. Clubface aim and shoulder alignment mistakes for amateur golfers were double that of Tour Professionals
3. As target distance increased alignment mistakes increased dramatically for all players including Tour Professionals.
4. The off target distance error almost doubled from the 70 yards range to the 190 yards range. All players aimed better on the range while practising than they did on the golf course.
5. The average clubface error increased by 16% from the range to the golf course.
6. Aim errors for 13-20 handicappers were 80% or almost double that of 0-5 handicappers. The driver was the club that produced the biggest aim errors.
7. The 6-12 handicappers group misaligns their shoulders an average 5.65 yards off all targets.
8. The article concludes that most golfers find it difficult to aim correctly and that better aim and alignment corresponds to lower scores, and also that all golfers including tour professionals can improve their aim.
9. The article also concluded that on average you lose one stroke for each time your ball is off the fairway, even if you make a good swing while trying to get the ball back in play. Aim and alignment errors create off target shots and off target shots lead to a loss of strokes. This is conclusive scientific evidence that all golfers should increase their aim accuracy in order to reduce their scores.

This is conclusive evidence that if you improve your alignment, your score will automatically improve even if you haven’t improved your swing. The Golf Alignment Aid not only improves your alignment but it also improves your ball positioning and posture; and gives you a constant stance width with correct feet placement for all clubs on all shots.
