The Old Way
Aim the clubface at your target and then set your feet perpendicular to the leading edge of the clubface.
The New Way
Align your body to your target first and your clubface will automatically point where you want the ball to go. Follow the steps at right.
Why It's Better
The toe of your clubs rest slightly up at address (more so with your irons), creating an optical illusion that makes you think the clubface is open when it's actually aimed left of your target. If you set your body to the clubface — as you were always taught — you're setting up left of the target line. Instead, set your body to your target first and you'll automatically aim the clubface dead-on.
1. Stand square behind the ball with your shoulders and hips facing the target. Picture a line from the ball to a very precise target, like a specific shingle on a rooftop or a branch on a tree (don't use just a house or a tree).
