The Golfers Footprint is one of the more invaluable set up and alignment aids in helping the golfer to understand this relationship between swing path and target line. It is visual device that encourages the player to try to get his swing to match the directions on the Footprint, which is marked with in-to-out and out-to-in swing paths and the target line. It becomes easier to transfer the practice swing on to the course with the use of subconscious visualization techniques. By learning and understanding how to control the ball, your muscles are told by your brain how to set up and swing for each type of shot you are making and this also makes it easier to learn how to hit draws and fades while eliminating hooks and sliced shots.

The T-Tech Alignment Tool is an alignment device designed to benefit golfers of all levels enabling them to improve their game and lower their scores from tee to green.

Other alignment aids include The EyeLine Golf Practice T & Mirror which is another recommended practice tool for setup.
