Sorry for crapping on ur thread pga, truly appreciate ur posts/pics. But man, these branded alignment sticks always make me laugh. I go to Home Depot and get them for like $4 each. I think they are road markers?? But hey, to each their own 😇

Amen to you. 🙏  Also to add to the cracking up, are the $60 plus, covers for the alignment sticks. 

Pure Consumerism. 🤔

That’s fine to have that belief until one scratches the crap out of one of your woods lol

[Cirta69]

Don't your woods have head covers? 😂

In the bed of my truck I have like $20 worth of those, that's a lot of alignment sticks. 

 

I get the branded ones, they're nicer but a definite rip off price wise.

You can keep your home depot sticks. Its bubba whips for me.. I want my bag to be blingin..

No worries, all good!  FYI, I hear the blue Graphite Design alignment sticks that Hideki uses go for $300 a piece in Japan

You can easily throw a wood into the bag and have an uncovered alignment stick slide right up under the head cover and into the crown. I definitely have a cover on my $4 Home Depot alignment sticks.

My driver is testament to this. My driver looks like a child took a razor blade to it.

How nice do they have to be to ... You know ... Lay on/stick out of the ground?

Is there a cheaper alternative? Maybe a $10 cover for $4 alignment sticks?

Personally i've always enjoyed the working relationship of misbehaving shafts and the threat of "alignment stick duty" to get them to straighten out.

I’m sure some Wrxers on here have those GD alignment sticks too.

I was about to pile on and then saw these are only $15 for 2 on Amazon, which is actually fairly reasonable. You can bundle with the alignment cover which is MORE expensive at $22. 😂

Just straight is all I ask. I like the ones with reflective tape, can use it to set positions if need be. 

 

Most alignment sticks I see are for pics with a $50 cover on them.

The ONLY drawback (besides being ostentatious with your Vokey stick) is the HD orange road stakes are not laminated and if they start to splinter… you’ll find it.  Fiberglass sprinters are like no other!  Ever grab ahold of an old bunker rake and have it bite you?  Yeah, not fun!

I buy the same ones. If they splinter, I go buy more, although they’ve never splintered.

Rebar works well and won’t splinter…even if you hit it 🤣

Wow...I've had alignment sticks in my bag (same divider as my 5w) for years and have never scratched a club head, even when the stick slides up the head cover.  Aren't the end of your alignment sticks covered with a rounded plastic end cap?  Or are you putting the sticks back in your bag with the sharp pointy side up?

Winter came early around here...

You’ve never had one slide under the headcover then 😂

I actually got a pair of alignment sticks from Decathlon - a giant Sports own brand store mainly Europe but also Asia.

 

250bht for the pair, about $7, and they fold down and live in a golf bag clothes pocket. No cover required 😉

 

 

I still tend to just to grab a spare club and lay it on the ground, mind.
