True Aim driver/wood alignment

[cloran]

Brian Katrek had the founder of "True Aim" on his show today. I'd never heard of the concept, but it makes a TON of sense given what I've learned from the Edel putter fittings y'all talk about.

I'm positive that I aim the face of my woods inconsistently. I pretty much guarantee that it is never the same direction twice. The True Aim formula takes you through a fitting similar to that of the Edel putters. You place different alignment stickers on your driver and see how that effects your setup and ball flight. I find that really interesting... and will probably make up some of my own with my kids stickers just to give it a shot.

As I was looking up some info on the company I came across this video from Sam Goulden. I've been following him on youtube for a little while now, but this video didn't resonate with me until now.




Here's the website:

mygolfspy.com did a good review of the system as well, worth checking out for sure...

Anyone tried them?

I've briefly conversed with TrueAim. I just haven't gotten around to reviewing it, yet.

I think the system has merit but I also think there's a potential problem.

For example, there are some days when I feel like I can rip everything when the driver is set up what looks like WAY open. Just the way I'm swinging that day or week, but that's how I like to see the face.

Then the next week I might like to see a more square setup.

It's not like putters in that sense, so I wonder if the changes are truly permanent/universal for the golfer, or if they don't change over time as the swing subtly changes, or the course we play changes to make different shapes more appealing, etc.

Excellent point Iacas. I normally play a small draw, today even though I was flushing it I was playing a cut. That's just the shot I showed up with so I went with it. I played great hitting a ton of fariways and greens. If I had started tweaking it because it didn't look right (which it clearly wasn't since it was not my normal ballflight) I am reasonably certain I would have gone in the tank.

I just ordered a pack of them for myself.

The permanent decals supposedly can be taken off, but they take some time and patience. I have no idea why the temporary decals would not be legal for play by the USGA. Makes zero sense.

I have some questions about its validity with a driver. We are aiming to a distance well beyond any distance we would aim with a putter. I do know that I continually have problems aiming on tee shots where the target is angled to the left. I have helped this problem by putting the ball further back in my stance, but I would say that 50% of the time I'll play it too far back and hit it lower than I want, but 280 yards down the middle still works better than 240 yard snap hooks or 250 yards push-steer-cuts.

In the end, I just don't think I would hit the ball worse and since the permanent decal can come off (it just doesn't come off all together at once like the temporary decal), it's worth a shot.

I'll sell mine (all unused) for $15. Just send me a private message. The concept isn't for me.

[Richie3Jack]

already ordered them and shipped
