Most players instinctively align to the right of Target, but not because the eyes align for the Push. Instead, the faulty alignment is because the Computer aligns for the Pull. It KNOWS the Clubface will Impact the Ball Square (instead of the desired slightly Open) -- usually because of the Bent Left Wrist or Off Plane Right Shoulder or both -- and hence it will be Closed at Separation. To avoid the Pull, the Computer aims right.

A simple test of this phenomenon is to ask the player to Address the Ball as if he were Left-Handed. Invariably, the alignment to the Target will be perfect. So, the normal 'to the right' alignment is not a case of 'bad eyes' or 'aligning for Pushes.' Instead, it is the fact that the Computer has no conflicting information from the other side of the Ball. And until it learns that the Right Wrist will Bend through Impact or that the Left Shoulder will Turn Off Plane during the Start Down -- thus Closing the Clubface at Separation -- it will not compensate.

Hence, the Square Alignments.
