Alignment Stick Drills for Swing Shape

From John Kostis On January 27, 2023

In Part 2 of John Kostis' alignment stick series, the Titleist staff member shows how an alignment rod can improve your swing mechanics. In this drill, John grips an alignment stick and his club together,... using the stick as an extension of his club shaft. By maintaining contact between the alignment stick and his lead leg leg, John is able to activate body rotation, then blend in wrist hinge and finally add a little arm swing – three essential ingredients in a powerful, efficient swing. The stick also serves as a great reference for swing plane, ensuring that the club swings in balance and requires no extra manipulation to get back to solid impact.

Give John's drill a try and start building a swing that delivers the clubhead to the golf ball with effortless speed and consistency.
