![]() All golfers know that low scores come from long, straight, accurate shots. Unfortunately, they are often faced with problems that get in the way of this goal, including hooks, slices, and off-target shots. These problems can be very frustrating and add many strokes to your score. It is important to realize that they are most often caused by poor alignment of the club and body. ![]() This short presentation will first explain how poor alignment causes hooks, slices, and off-target shots. Second, why alignment has been such a difficult and overlooked fundamental. And third, how the new patented technology of Thomas clubs makes alignment easy and produces the longer, straighter, more accurate shots we all desire. ![]() A golf club that is misaligned by just a few degrees will produce a shot that lands many yards to the right or left of the target, even with a perfect swing. To try to compensate for this misalignment, a golfer tends to make adjustments in their swing-path. This is the beginning of a destructive downward spiral, in which the golfer creates a new problem in an attempt to solve an existing one. ![]() Let's look at a golfer who usually aims right of the target. He will tend to swing from outside-to-inside, trying to send the ball more to the left. This swing path puts a slice spin on the ball, causing the shot to go even farther right.
Likewise, a golfer who usually aims left
of the target will tend to swing from inside-to-outside,
trying to send the ball more to the right.
This swing path puts a hook spin on the ball
causing the shot to go even farther left.![]() Why do golfers have trouble with alignment? To address this question, let's look at some characteristics of a traditional golf club:
Given these characteristics, it is easy to see why golfers have such difficulty with alignment, and suffer from hooks, slices, or off-target shots. ![]() Golfers are now able to avoid these problems and consistently hit closer to the target, through proper alignment of the club using the patented alignment technology of Thomas Irons and Woods. ![]() To gain the same alignment advantage found on most putters, Thomas Golf has redesigned the top plane of each Iron and Wood to support an alignment indicator that is parallel to the ground and the direction of the clubface. ![]()

![]() Now that the club is aimed directly at the target, the golfer can once again utilize the alignment indicator to align his heels, hips and shoulders parallel to the target line.
After following these four easy steps utilizing Thomas alignment technology, you are assured proper aim and alignment every time; producing shots straight to the target with proper spin to carry the ball long. We hope this presentation has helped you understand the importance of proper alignment for hitting long, straight, accurate shots; and how the technology of Thomas clubs will help you achieve this.
