There are a lot of competing idea’s on how to align and strike the ball. A drill recently released from Golf Digest talks about a ’stack and tilt’ drill. However, I see some faults in this drill, and began looking for counter arguments. I came upon a great drill from Shawn Clement, describing and showing some drills on to work on balance and alignment.
Shawn Clement, Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre, and CPGA professional, shows you how to stay stacked through the one leg drill and two feet together drill.
A question was posed to Shawn Clement about how to keep the head steady during the swing. The reasons for keeping the axis of the head steady, allowing the head to turn, is demonstrated in this excellent video.

Another excellent video, and I miss seeing your head in this video!
One of the issues some golfer’s will have is bunching up the arms into the body, causing the golf club to ‘wrap’ around your body. In another excellent post, Shawn Clement, Director of the Richmond Hill Golf Learning Centre, and CPGA Professional, shows you how to fix the chicken wing through the ball as well as the “across the top” backswing position.
In this video, you can see how Shawn adds a small dowel to the end of his golf club to allow viewing the target line.
