As I walked the range on the Wednesday of WM Phoenix Open week, I was struck by the sheer number of players using alignment sticks. Almost everyone had one on the floor during practice. Others, like Charley Hoffman, used two, grid style. Why?
“Ball position,” he told me. “So the driver’s ball can sometimes creep back, even at any club. So I have to make sure he stays forward.”
Simple advice, but also revealing. If pros – who hit more balls in a week than most of us do in months – need the help of an alignment stick to keep bad habits at bay, it stands to reason that we recreational players should use it even more. Hands up – not only could I use more reach time in my life in general, I could Certainly use more reach time of the alignment stick.
That’s why Hazy Sticks are a must-have addition to any bag. The 45-inch-long poles are composed of 100 percent real hickory wood with a gloss protective coating and nickel end caps. Use them to record your stance and ball position on the range, or as a guide rail on the green.
In addition to helping you determine your alignment, Hazy Sticks are also a stylish addition to your kit, and come in a wide range of color combinations, such as patriotic red, white and blue. You can even have them engraved for an additional charge.
