Before you go out buying a new driver this spring, purchase some alignment sticks first, grab your smartphone and try a trio ...

This is probably the most common alignment stick placement ... but need help visualizing the lines in their own golf swing. So, they'll use a second alignment rod to help them.

Start by having a friend or your golf teacher lay an alignment stick straight across your elbows, so that it's parallel to the ground. Swing to the top, stop, and have them hold the rod in place.
