5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent Alignment Aid, November 29, 2008

I have purchased many alignment aids, and this is the best one I've found. What makes it the best is that it is easy to carry and use, and the Amazon price is lower than any of the large volume golf merchandisers.

I carry the alignment tool in my golf bag; it's easy to put it in and take it out of the bag when I get to the practice range. This device can be used for practice of both the short and full-swing game.

Some "critics" ask me why I use this aid rather than just laying down my own clubs, and I reply that it helps me not only with my alignment but also with ball placement in my setup (I place the ball directly parallel with the black "hub" of the device and about 8 inches away from it). Also, I can use the device during sand trap practice without putting my clubs in the sand.

I have used this device for nearly a year and consider it one of the best buy training devices on the market. I trust that you will too.

SKLZ Rick Smith Practice POD - Collapsible Alignment Tool

A quick simple setup and breakdown that neatly slips in the bag. A must have tool for the range and warm up.

A clip in the pod allows the two rods to park parallel together for bag storage. I could prove to my buddy his alignment was off contrary to what he thought!
