Back in February when Sun Day Red made its initial appearance, there was one thing in particular I gravitated towards: footwear.

For months, I’ve seen prototypes and have been left wondering what Sun Day Red’s foray into golf footwear would look like.

I’m happy to report that it’s no longer left to my imagination. Sun Day Red’s first golf shoe, the Pioneer Cypress, makes its retail debut tomorrow, Dec 4. It’s here and, to my surprise, it’s glorious.

I won’t sit here and say I love everything about the Pioneer Cypress. But, just based on initial impressions and a first wear test, I’m pleasantly surprised with what Sun Day Red has accomplished in such little time.

Still, Callaway, there are established ways to spell stuff, and nobody will fault you for rolling with the status quo.

Anyway, out of the gate, Callaway will launch with four models that appear to mirror the offerings from last season.

Focus on Your Alignment for Better Golf Shots

Proper alignment is a critical factor in achieving accuracy and consistency in your golf game. Here's how to ensure you’re aligned correctly before every shot:

1. Start with the Clubface

• Align the clubface square to your target.
• Focus on a specific point, like a blade of grass or a mark on the fairway, directly in line with your target.

2. Align Your Body Parallel to the Target Line

Your body should be positioned parallel to the line where you want the ball to travel:

• Feet:
  • Position them shoulder-width apart and parallel to your target line.
• Hips:
  • Keep them level and aligned with your feet.
• Shoulders:
  • Match the alignment of your shoulders with your feet and hips for consistent shots.

3. Use Alignment Aids

• Place a club or alignment stick on the ground parallel to your target line during practice.
• Position another stick perpendicular to the target line to check foot and ball placement.

4. Check Your Ball Position

• For longer clubs (driver): Place the ball slightly forward, near your front heel.
• For shorter clubs (irons): Position the ball toward the center of your stance.
• Consistent ball placement ensures proper alignment with different clubs.

5. Visualize Your Shot

• Stand behind the ball and picture the path it should take.
• Pick a target point and align yourself accordingly before stepping into your stance.

6. Avoid Common Alignment Mistakes

• Over-Aiming: Trying to aim your body directly at the target instead of being parallel to it.
• Open or Closed Stance: Misalignment of your feet or shoulders can cause slices or hooks.

7. Test Your Alignment Regularly

• Practice alignment drills at the driving range to build muscle memory.
• Check your stance frequently during practice to ensure consistency.

By mastering your alignment, you’ll set the foundation for straighter, more accurate shots and greater confidence on the course.
