While walking the line on Wednesday WC Phoenix Open week, I was struck by the sheer number of players using alignment sticks. Almost everyone had one on the ground while exercising. Others, like Charley Hoffman, used two, grid-style. Why?
“Ball position,” he told me. “So the driver ball can sometimes drag – even with some clubs. So I have to make sure it stays forward.”
Simple tips – but also revealing. If the pros—who hit more balls in a week than most of us do in a month—require the help of a club to keep bad habits at bay, it stands to reason that we recreational players should use them even more. Hands up – not only could I use more time in my life in general, I could definitely use more stretch-stick interval time.
That’s why Hazy Sticks are a must-have addition to any bag. The 45-inch long sticks are made of 100 percent real hickory wood with a glossy finish and nickel end caps. Use them to lock in your position and ball position on the range, or as a guide bar on the green.
In addition to helping you dial in your alignment, Hazy Sticks are also a stylish addition to your kit and are available in a wide range of color combinations such as patriotic red, white and blue. You can even have them engraved for an additional fee.
