No matter your age or ability, you could be making a mistake that is costing you yards out on the golf course. There is so much advice out there on UA-cam about driver but this video will eliminate all the bad habits you have with driver set up, your wrists with driver, squaring the club face, hitting the driver on the up, hitting the driver longer.
    Driver alludes so many golfers, if we get the technique with driver right you will gain yards, control and distance with your driver. This simple golf lesson will cover:
    1. Wrists in the golf swing with driver
    2. Squaring the club face
    3. Transition with downswing and backswing

    I’m so wanting to try this- but how can I check that I’m doing it right- I can perhaps add a pointer to the driver edge to check the face angle but self appraisal is a hard task - any ideas Alex- filming myself isn’t easy I find

    Alex, great advice. I was just wondering as i'm quite new to golf , if you have ever done a longer video which contains all a player could follow on tips / shots / techniques on breaking 100 for the newer / struggling golfers. almost like a tee to green tutorial as i cant find one anywhere on your channel ( or am i missing it.).

  • @kennyc3670
    @kennyc3670 7 місяців тому

    Hello Alex, an interesting video. Before the video started you show a still picture of two different face positions. One is "START SEEING THIS" and the other is "STOP SEEING THIS". I would imagine that most golfers slice due to setting up in the "STOP SEEING THIS" position where the club face is set square to the target line and the clubhead bottom face is resting flat on the ground.
    It's all very well saying to get the lead wrist flat at the halfway up and top positions, but this requires golfers to imagine the position of their lead wrist by feel as their swing progresses. This is hard to do even if the wrist is set flat by taking it away as you suggest because at the top, where you can't see it, the momentum of the club will tend to alter the flat wrist - usually to open it.
    I would think that a bowed left wrist, which several top pros use, is easier to set and consistently keep in that position throughout - which is maybe why they use it.
    I guess to cure a slice and swing without thinking of using a flat wrist you really only need to take a stronger grip and then you could swing as you normally would without trying to maintain a flat left wrist?

    Great tips Alex. My wrists used to cup but have improved with the Credit Card scenario. Would you say that is good advice for either the irons or specifically the longer irons? Great hybrid video also...I can't wait to try chipping around the green with it. Jon

    I laughed when you said keep the logo to the sky. When we teach kids how to bat in baseball. We teach logo to the sky. So when they move from metal bats to wooden bats it is easier to understand. What we say is "show God the logo". I'll remember this one easily

    i cant stop slicing always have and i think it is because i am so RH dominant but play LH so my top hand is my stronger and the bottom weaker one slows down my swing release and stops me getting club face back to position also i have now because i am trying to force things straight have now started to swing way over the top its a nightmare which then can cause a massive pull

  • @darren0770
    @darren0770 7 місяців тому

    Is it the cam angle, or are those drives going left? I do this sometimes on the range and i'm thinking i'm pushing it, so I aim right to hit "straight". Have I been hitting it correctly all this time??

    • @AlexElliottGolf
      @AlexElliottGolf  7 місяців тому

      Haha, no they aren't going on left, you may be doing a draw / fade no?

  • @PhilConran
    @PhilConran 7 місяців тому

    These driver tips are great if you are lead hand dominant. I tried all of the tips and still sliced the ball. As soon as I stopped the right hand / trail hand extension in the takeaway, with a weak trail hand grip the slices went away. If the right hand extends, it will lock into this extended position and not release in time, causing horrible open faces. Strong right hand under grip, was a massive cause of slicing too.
