How to do it

  1. Set your phone on the ground or a stand directly behind the ball, on the target line.

  2. Take your normal setup and hold it for three seconds while recording.

  3. Pause the video and draw a line along your toes and another from the ball to the target.

  4. Check whether the two lines are parallel or converging.

  5. Adjust, re-record and repeat for 5 setups.

Goal

Replace what alignment feels like with what it measurably is.

Feel cue

Feel how wrong a square setup looks on screen the first few times you check it.

Mistake to avoid

Filming from beside the ball rather than from directly behind it — an off-angle camera makes a square setup look closed and sends you correcting a problem you do not have.
