How to Hit the Ball Straight

Hitting a golf ball straight consistently requires a combination of proper technique, alignment, and focus. Here are some tips to help you hit the golf ball straight:

  1. Proper Grip:

    • Ensure you have a neutral and comfortable grip on the club. The V formed by your thumb and forefinger on each hand should point towards your trail shoulder (right shoulder for right-handed golfers, left shoulder for left-handed golfers).
  2. Alignment:

    • Align your body parallel to the target line. This includes your feet, hips, and shoulders. Use a club or an alignment stick on the ground to help you ensure proper alignment.
  3. Stance:

    • Maintain a balanced and athletic stance. Your feet should be shoulder-width apart, and your weight should be evenly distributed on both feet.
  4. Ball Position:

Bettinardi 2024 INOVAI Putters

Bettinardi’s innovative INOVAI line gets a major refresh.The multi-material mallets feature a new modular design platform.26 right-handed and 10 left-handed variations.Available for pre-order Feb. 8 at Bettinardi.com and at Bettinardi USA retailers on Feb. 16. Worldwide release in March.MSRP $400

Those who follow Bettinardi’s two-year release cycles expected an INOVAI release in 2024. With that, it was a bit surprising Bettinardi did not announce any new INOVAI releases when they released the 2024 BB putter models last November. Typically, the BB and the INOVAI arrive together.

Being that the 2024 BB line included only a single mallet model, the lack of any mallets from the typically co-released INOVAI line made Bettinardi’s 2024 release plan very blade-heavy.

As it turned out, there is a new INOVAI mallet line coming from Bettinardi. It just lagged a bit behind the BB release. I’m not sure why it came later but my guess is that it got its own release … because it deserved its own release.

Was it worth the wait?

One answer to this question is to look at how different the new INOVAI line is from the previous INOVAI line that was released back in 2022. Some of the aspects of the INOVAI putters have remained the same such as the multi-material construction and the Roll Control Face.

Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Putters

The hottest putter of 2023 makes its retail debut with an AI upgrade.The Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser models Ai-One faces with counterbalanced weighting.Available for pre-order Feb. 8 at OdysseyGolf.com and in stores March 15.MSRP $349.99

Odyssey made quite a splash last fall when they unveiled their Ai-One and Ai-One Milled putter lines. Both lines featured new AI-designed inserts that demonstrated marked improvements in distance control compared to traditional milled putters.

These putters performed so well that Jon Rahm immediately put the Ai-One Rossie S into his bag. He was ready to save some strokes, eliminate some three-putts and make a whole bunch more prize money. I figured we common folk would be excited to try out the AI technologies as well.

As it turned out, the thing that I heard asked most often after the release was when would Odyssey be releasing a retail Jailbird putter like Rickie Fowler’s and Wyndham Clark’s.

Odyssey incorporating this new Ai-One technology into their putters was a big story in 2023, but the biggest putter story last year was the resurgence of the Odyssey Versa Jailbird. The golfing public said, “AI is cool and all, but can I have that putter from 2013?”

Looks like 2024 is going to be Jailbird season after all. Today marks the official announcement of the release of the Odyssey Ai-One Cruiser Jailbird putter. Now you can finally buy a Jailbird putter at your local store, and that Jailbird will feature Odyssey’s Ai-One insert technology.
