Aim Test

Problem

You consistently hit straight to the right or left.

Cure

Test your line to make sure that you are truly aiming where you think you are. Right handed players tend to aim more right than they think they are just as left handed players tend to aim more left than they think they are.

Therapy

Test your aim by setting up to the ball as usual. Place a ball one foot in front of the ball you intend to play and another one foot behind it. All three balls should be directly on your target line. Make sure your feet are still in the same place you set up at as you complete align the balls. Now step six feet behind your ball and see if the balls are truly pointing towards the target or does it point a little left or right of it? Correct the position of the extra balls and then set up your alignment using the correct line you just formed.
