The Way You Walk Into a Shot Is Killing Your Alignment!
Shaun Webb from Athletic Motion Golf explains how walking into a shot from the side causes high handicappers to align too far to the right. He demonstrates a specific walk-in routine starting from behind the target line and stepping in trail-foot-first to ensure a parallel stance. This simple adjustment helps golfers align more accurately and hit straighter, more solid shots.
Walking into the ball from the side typically results in an alignment that is too far right.
Poor alignment often leads to compensation moves like coming 'over the top' or swinging too far in-to-out.
Always start your pre-shot routine from directly behind the ball looking straight at the target.
Step into the shot with your trail foot first to maintain a better visual connection to the target line.
Set your feet so they feel parallel to the target line to improve your start line and strike quality.
