How to Use Mirror Mode to Check Alignment in the HandyGolf App
Mirror Mode in the HandyGolf app is a simple way to check your golf alignment and aim. You can use it at home, on the range, or anywhere you have space to set up. By using the screen like a mirror—and adding a reference line—you can quickly see whether your feet and body are aligned correctly.
Why Use Mirror Mode for Alignment?
Alignment can be difficult to feel accurately. Many golfers think they are set up square, but their feet, hips, or shoulders may actually be aimed left or right of the target.
Mirror Mode gives you a visual reference so you can:
- Check your foot line
- Improve your aim
- See whether your setup is square
- Build better awareness of how proper alignment feels
- Practice alignment at home or on the range
Step-by-Step: Check Your Alignment in Mirror Mode
1. Open Mirror Mode
Open the HandyGolf app and select Mirror Mode. Position your device so you can see yourself clearly in the frame.
2. Use the Screen as a Mirror
You can start by simply looking at your setup on the screen. This alone can help you notice whether your feet or body are aimed differently than you thought.
3. Select the Line Drawing Tool
For a more accurate reference, choose the line drawing tool in the app.
4. Draw a Straight Reference Line
Draw a line straight up and down on the screen. This line will act as your visual guide for alignment.
You can use this line as a reference for your foot line, helping you see whether your feet are square or whether one foot is too far forward or back.
5. Step Into Frame and Set Up
Get into your golf posture while staying visible on the screen. It may take a little practice to position yourself correctly in the frame, so make small adjustments until you can clearly see your feet and the reference line.
6. Compare Your Feet to the Line
Look at how your feet line up relative to the reference line. For example, you may notice that your right foot is farther behind the line than you expected.
This visual feedback helps you identify alignment issues that may be hard to feel on your own.
7. Reposition Until You Are Square
Adjust your stance until your feet are aligned with the reference line. At first, the corrected position may feel very different, especially if you are used to setting up misaligned.
That is normal. The goal is to train your eyes and body to recognize what square alignment looks and feels like.
Practice Tip
Use Mirror Mode regularly to build consistency in your setup. Even a few minutes of alignment practice can help you develop better awareness before hitting balls or playing a round.
Key Takeaway
Mirror Mode gives you an easy visual reference for checking alignment and aim. By drawing a simple line on the screen and comparing your foot line to it, you can make quick setup adjustments and train a more reliable, square position.
