Alignment in Golf

Reviewer A major champion's real insight, not just the standard tips - worth your full attention.

Moderator Entirely about alignment, from the ground up (parallel body positions, using alignment sticks) through to real-world execution differences between the range and the course. No detours.

Reviewer The short-putt parallel-line point alone will fix a lot of three-putts.

Moderator Covers clubface, toes, knees, hips, shoulders, then a genuinely useful nuance on putting, parallel-left on short putts. All alignment, nothing else.

Reviewer Explains the classic alignment mistake - aiming your body at the flag instead of parallel - better than most instructors do.

Moderator A full, structured breakdown of aim vs. alignment using sticks on the ground, a train-track analogy for the two parallel lines, and a clear demonstration of the classic mistake - players aiming their body at the flag instead of parallel left. About as squarely on-topic as this skill gets.

Reviewer A real, repeatable pre-shot routine that actually fixes the root problem - recommend this one.

Moderator Entirely devoted to alignment - identifies the common mistake, explains the compensation it causes, and builds a full routine around fixing it.

Reviewer About as clean and correct an alignment lesson as you'll find - no wasted time.

Moderator Entirely about alignment from start to finish, no detours - railroad track setup, connecting it to shot shape, addressing perception issues.

Reviewer This is the fix for the #1 alignment mistake I see, clean and actionable.

Moderator All alignment, the entire video is answering one question - face first or body first - and it never wanders.

Reviewer The walk-in-open versus walk-in-closed comparison is the standout, easy to feel the difference.

Moderator Numbered, structured alignment routine: intermediate target selection, walking in open versus closed, and how to actually check you're aimed right. Doesn't drift into anything else.

Reviewer Explains the why behind the routine, not just the what, that's rare.

Moderator Complete pre-shot alignment routine end to end: intermediate target, clubface square first, body built around that, plus a real explanation of why setting your body before your clubface skews your perception. Squarely what the sub-skill is about.

Reviewer Fixes a mistake almost everyone makes with their alignment stick -- very useful.

Moderator All about correctly placing an alignment stick parallel to the target line rather than standing on the stick's own line -- this is foundational alignment practice technique.

Reviewer Explains the why behind the error, not just a quick fix -- excellent.

Moderator Squarely about a specific, common alignment error (aiming too far right without realizing it) and the proper sequence -- face to intermediate target, eyes to target, then feet. Core alignment teaching from a well-known tour coach.

Reviewer Shows you the actual damage bad alignment does to your setup, not just the fix.

Moderator Mistakes framework covering intermediate target, walking in open versus closed, and head lift versus swivel to check aim. All squarely alignment, well organized.

Reviewer The extra bits here, accounting for your shot shape and giving yourself permission to restart, make this the most complete version.

Moderator The same complete 3-part alignment system, plus it explicitly addresses that your aim point should account for your typical ball flight, e.g. slicers aiming left - still entirely on-topic, just the fullest version of this recurring lesson.

Reviewer A genuinely complete system, with a smart caveat about not always aiming straight at the pin.

Moderator All three steps are alignment fundamentals - pick an intermediate target, align clubface then body from open to closed, check parallel with eyes and body. Nothing off-topic.

Reviewer The head-swivel-not-lift tip alone is worth the watch.

Moderator Still squarely alignment, this time the checking process rather than the setup. Addresses the real reason good routines fall apart: players stand up and rotate their whole head, which skews what they think they're seeing.

Reviewer Clear, credible, and gives you a routine you can actually use.

Moderator Textbook alignment routine -- pick an intermediate target close to the ball, square the clubface to it, then build the body around it. This is exactly what the skill is.

Reviewer Clean, complete, and makes the important point that bad alignment often gets blamed on your swing.

Moderator Direct, correct alignment technique - pick a close intermediate point in line with the target, build a line to it, square your feet to that line. This is exactly what alignment means in golf instruction and it's the entire focus of the clip.

Reviewer Six majors' worth of credibility behind a genuinely simple, effective drill.

Moderator Squarely about alignment -- why golfers unconsciously misaim, and a simple club-on-the-ground drill to fix it, with adjustments by club type.

Reviewer Explains the reasoning behind each fix, not just the fix - good coaching.

Moderator Squarely alignment from start to the point the transcript cuts off - walking in closed vs. open, and the intermediate-target concept - both are core alignment fundamentals, no filler content in between.

Reviewer Clean process you can use on the range today, a bit of channel-plug padding but the lesson lands.

Moderator Textbook alignment lesson: intermediate target, club to target line first, body built around it. Covers every club and explicitly ties it to what tour pros do. Can't get more on-topic than this.

Reviewer Clear demo of a mistake most players don't even realize they're making.

Moderator Directly about body lines (feet, knees, hips, shoulders) being misaligned even when the clubface is aimed correctly -- this is the core alignment skill, demonstrated with a visual target line.

Reviewer Technically sharp - if you want to actually understand fade/draw setup this is the real explanation.

Moderator Entirely about alignment, just applied specifically to shaping shots - three-stick model (target, start line, path) is exactly how a good coach would teach this, and shot shaping IS a legitimate, common alignment application, not a tangent.

Reviewer Good simple tip, just doesn't go much deeper than that.

Moderator Directly on the core alignment mistake -- golfers aim their feet at the target instead of their clubface, which pushes the face right. Simple, correct, on-topic.

Reviewer Right sequence, right advice on picking a target - just a bit repetitive in the delivery.

Moderator Covers the same core mechanic - club face to target line first, then feet parallel left, which he calls true alignment - plus adds the good habit of always picking a specific target before hitting. Fully on-topic for alignment.

Reviewer Quick, correct, usable - just doesn't explain why picking a close spot works better.

Moderator Same family as the other intermediate-target clips - pick a near spot instead of the distant flag, aim the clubhead at it, align feet to it. Entirely about alignment, nothing else in the clip.

Reviewer Solid drill for feeling parallel alignment, just wish it ditched the ball-flight jargon up top.

Moderator This is the textbook alignment lesson - aim the clubface at the target first, then set the body parallel left of that line. That's the exact technique every alignment tip in this batch is built around. Squarely on-topic, nothing else going on in the clip.

Reviewer Good next-level stuff once you've got the basics - shows you how the pros actually misalign on purpose.

Moderator Squarely about alignment, and it earns the advanced framing - demonstrates real on-course shots where feet and face are deliberately pointed in different directions to shape the ball, not just static setup talk.

Reviewer A real routine you can copy -- just come in already knowing how to address the ball.

Moderator Entirely about building a repeatable pre-shot alignment routine -- sighting from behind the ball, squaring the face, walking in while holding the line. Nothing else competing for the topic.

Reviewer Same solid content as the other full versions, just a longer promo before it gets going.

Moderator Same complete 3-part alignment system as the other full-routine videos - intermediate target, clubface-then-body alignment, head-rotation check. Entirely on topic.

Reviewer One sharp, specific fix for a mistake most golfers don't even know they're making.

Moderator Entirely about alignment, just narrower in scope than the full-routine videos - this one isolates a single checking technique (how you look at the target) rather than teaching the whole setup from scratch.

Reviewer Solid, honest coaching - and refreshingly doesn't oversell what alignment alone will fix for you.

Moderator Squarely about alignment - the drill, the misconception section, all of it stays on the actual topic of aiming the body and club correctly.

Reviewer Solid drill ladder for any practice green, just wish it went beyond short putts.

Moderator This is alignment start to finish, just narrowed to the putting green. Three-tier drill: alignment stick as a face reference, chalk line to hold the target line, then the cambered rail to punish anything offline. It's not full-swing alignment with driver or irons, so I'm not maxing it out, but the core skill being taught is exactly aim awareness.

Reviewer Good, clean basics -- just don't expect much depth.

Moderator Mostly about the fundamentals of squaring feet/hips/shoulders with a single alignment stick, with a brief extra note at the end about using a second stick for swing path cueing.

Reviewer Simple, complete, and genuinely useful - a real go-to cue.

Moderator The two-step logo trick (perpendicular to target line, then square the face to it) is a complete, specific alignment technique.

Reviewer The alignment drills here are top-notch, worth watching just for those two.

Moderator The first two drills are squarely alignment (club-first aiming, then the advanced two-rod alleyway version), but the video's back half moves into takeaway path work with the same sticks - that's a different sub-skill even though it's the same tool. So it covers alignment among other things rather than being entirely about it.

Reviewer Decent lesson in there if you're patient with the vlog format - wouldn't be my first pick to actually learn from.

Moderator It's a real coaching session working through alignment - parallel-left concept, checking feet and shoulders against the stick, correcting a chronic right-aim tendency. Genuinely on topic even if it's wrapped in a lot of vlog banter.

Reviewer Too rushed to actually teach three different setups.

Moderator Alignment sticks for shot shaping is squarely the alignment skill.

Reviewer Interesting idea but never turns into something you could actually go copy - too vague to be a real lesson.

Moderator This is about putting alignment specifically - using the feel of the putter face rotating, or not, as a checkpoint in the putting setup to prevent pulled putts. Narrower than full-swing alignment but still squarely an alignment concept, just applied to the putter face.
