Practice at the range can be boring if you are simply pounding balls like a zombie. Proper range time needs to productive range time. I have talked about this in the past and came across a great product that can be a huge tool for you.

You ever look at the range at a PGA Tour Event and see the simple things players use to stay on track. Many pro’s use the Tour Sticks product in many ways.

The product is a simple fiberglass shaft like stick about 50″ long. Two sticks come in a set and it comes in a magnitude of colors. There is  one color you can’t get and that’s Masters Green because those are reserved for Augusta National (gotta get me a set of those). They retail for $14.95 and have been flying off the shelves.

I hit the range today and used then for alignment in a railroad track pattern. One along my toe line and one out side the ball. So many times you try to visualize this or use a club (too short) and it truly did help.

I also stuck one in the ground on my swing path angle and used it to make sure I wasn’t coming too far inside. This gave me instant feedback as I was hitting balls and I was able to transfer that feel into my swing when I took it down.

One other drill that I did was to stick it in the ground pointing straight up and positioned myself with my hip touching it. If I were to slide in my swing I could feel it right away.

So here’s the deal. An inexpensive product that has many applications is a winner for me. I also love the fact that it stays in may bag all the time and makes a great towel rack!

Get out of the office and work on your game….That’s an order from the Rocket!
