Dave-- To understand Alignment Golf vs. Position Golf:
1. Throw a coin to the floor three or four feet in frontof you. 2. Reach down to pick it up. 3. When you touch the coin, stop. 4. Examine your position: Your front leg hasextended, your knee has bent, and your weight is now loaded on your front foot;your head and shoulders are down and forward from your standing position; yourarm is extended; your fingers are touching the coin. 5. Reflect on the fact that at no time did youconsciously assume that position. Instead, your entire focus was on picking upthe coin. To do that, your hand correctly made a straight line path tothe coin.
In making the motion, the Three Zones (Body, Arms, andHands) each had their respective assignments. But, the Hands (under thedirection of The Computer) were at all times responsible for the precision ofthe procedure -- in this case the movement to the coin -- and coordinated andcontrolled the entire action. And that is Alignment Golf.
Now all (!!) you've got to do is to teach your Hands thecorrect alignments for a given Stroke Pattern. Unfortunately, because many ofthose other pesky (but necessary) components have no clue as to what to do, andbecause their ignorance will sabotage the precision execution of the Hands,you'll have to educate them, too. [For example, if the Right Hip fails to clear(in a non-zero Pivot Stroke) then the Hands will simply go around it, and takethe Sweet Spot off-Plane in the process.] But, in the end, the Hands control,and your Game will reflect the quality of their education and real-time abilityto execute.
