    I have always marked my ball with a large “T” for several reasons. 1. My first initial, 2. Putting alignment, direction and square up the club face with the top of the “T”. 3. On the tee box, I use the “T” for spine and shoulder alignment, a slightly tilted T to the rear, makes sure I give a slight angle to my spine, and keep my shoulders aligned for a good turn. Thanks for the great video Matt!!!

    I've been watching plenty of golf instruction videos and have never seen this kind of line advice. Will give it a try, though the "short distance in front of you reference point" seems more appealing: the swing pane might still be off even when using an alignment line on the ball.

    I've been using the arrows on the ball oriented to the right, I'm a right handed player, to remind/encourage me to seeing from the inside out due to my slice. I think this helps... Sometimes. What I haven't done is rotate the ball towards me after alignment. I'll do that from now on.

    On tee shots I put the Sharpie line on my ball at the back side (club side) center of the ball vertically. The line transfers onto the club face so I try to see if I am hitting center on the face. Somedays I tend to be a bit of a toe hitter. Within a couple of shots I can see if it's going to be one of those days and adjust.

    Great video and tip! I use line on my ball and had been using it for setup the wrong way as you say it! However I put the line on the ball to mark the sweet spot using a CheckGoPro. My understanding was you line it up when hitting a driver or iron of the tee to maximize the distance and as such alignment on tee needs to be straight! Can you let me know what are your thoughts on this and if I need to align it straight or align it as you have shown? I will definitely try both methods at the course if I find it empty!! Thanks

    this video uses a line anywhere on the ball to help align with aiming - just like an alignment stick and no more. The "CheckGo" puts the line in an exact place on the ball - around the circumference of any mis balance centre in the ball. your Q of how to align this balance centre with the aiming is not even considered.

    At around 3:20 you mentioned that improper focus upon the ball can encourage a coming over the top when striking the ball. This is the second viewing of your video but the first time that I’m truly hearing what you are saying. The other day I realized that with my driver I was not hitting to the sweet spot of the driver. I looked down at the little indicator on top of my TaylorMade M1 and when I focused upon how it truly lined up to the sweet spot I saw that I was hitting more towards the heel by maybe 3/8” inch. I think people believe that the sweet spot on today’s golf club is much larger. But I think the sweet spot is still the size of a dime. Only when we start hitting the true sweet spot can we feel truly balanced in the contact position.

    The plastic ball marking stencils give you the opportunity to add a perfectly perpendicular second line. You use one line to aim your putt, you use the second perpendicular line to align your putter face parallel to. Parallel lines are easier for your eye to confirm than the perpendicular putter face to line.

    Starting back in the 1930s golfer would always tee the ball with the ball name facing the clubface -- you tried to hit the ball square on the "Titleist." That was because the name was stamped on the ball and players believed that the cover was slightly thinner there and would compress better. On the other hand, the cover was made of two pieces and fused together to make a round ball. Along the line where the cover was fused was the "seam." When you set your ball down you placed it so that the ball would roll on the seam -- and roll straighter. I got this from my grandfather, Grant Halstead who was a life member of the PGA -- (Played in the 1927 Open at Oakmont, etc.) Whether a ball really performed that way, I don't know. I only know that's was golfers believed going forward to the 1970s. Regards.
