sQRD upAlignment Made SimpleProper alignment, along with the correct ball and clubface position at address are fundamental questions that golfers face each and every time a stroke is made. The SQRD UP alignment tool enables players to fulfill each one of these requirements. Instead of guessing, or just hoping, your alignment is correct, quickly view your alignment in comparison to SQRD UP’s 100% laser-accurate lines. SQRD UP is excellent for driving range use. “Research has proven that 85 percent of golf swing learning is visual. This being the case, the SQRD UP alignment tool does a better job giving feedback on your alignment than any tool I have used in my last 40 years of teaching,” says Dr. Jim Suttie, 2000 National PGA Teacher of the Year. We at Kingdom have also been thoroughly impressed by this innovative device. It is easy to use and exceptionally helpful to low- and high-handicappers alike. sqrdup.com
