Ian Poulter's Secret Golf Training Tool 👀

PGA Tour professional Ian Poulter demonstrates how he uses a simple alignment tool to ensure proper target alignment and accurate ball position. He illustrates how a golfer's perspective at address can lead to optical deception, placing the ball far too forward without realizing it.

• Use an alignment tool or stick on the ground to establish a clear target line and ball position baseline.
• Visual perspective from address can easily deceive you into thinking the ball is centered when it is actually too far forward.
• Checking ball position regularly prevents setup flaws that negatively impact club path and impact consistency.
