Re: Setup drills for good alignment

My pre shot routine (where I remember to use it ) goes something like this...
  1. Standing behind the ball, pick out a leaf, twig, divot, or any other marking feature smewhere within a foot or so on the ground in front of my ball.
  2. Keeping this spot in sight, move to the side of the ball (not setting my feet in my stance as yet!!!) and place club behind the ball, using the grooves to align the club face perpendicular to the line to the previously picked intermediate target.
  3. Now go ahead and build your stance.
Everything should be ok from here.

In order to visualize, as VP suggested earlier, I try to think of train tracks. Ball & Clubhead on one rail and my feet on the other...

Hoping this helps...

Cheers
