    Over the years I have watched many golf lessons on UA-cam and I have to say you've become one of my favorite teachers. Clear voice and lessons ordinary golfers understand. Well done mate :)

    Yet another great tip. I've been hovering my irons for a little while and I've noticed a massive improvement in contact. Keep these great tips coming Alex, particularly from bunkers with compact sand

    I’ve never commented on anything before, golf or otherwise, but bloody hell this works. I tried it today on a quick 9 holes at Aintree and I struck my irons like never before. Straight, long and with minimal effort. Cheers Alex.

    I have watched many UA-cam videos and this is one of the best drills ever. I practiced in my garage for a couple of nights, took it out to the course and my strikes were as pure as I have ever hit. It works from Driver to wedge. Love your videos.

    @mikehester7819 8 місяців тому +1

    Wow, timely video. I have been striking the ball out of fairway bunkers really well lately. 5, 6, or 7 irons. In a bunker shot you have to hover your club. I've been thinking about doing that on the fairway next week.

    great tip hovering been helping. what does the hips do in correlation to the shoulders. as in do hips fire first or shoulders following hips or more together

  • @KeithWainauski1
    @KeithWainauski1 8 місяців тому +1

    I'm not sure "why" this works - but I tried it on the range and the course and it actually works!! My ball striking was sooo much more pure and accurate.

  • @BigCheese1219
    @BigCheese1219 8 місяців тому

    Hey Alex, I just had a question regarding takeaway and timing. I notice some pro golfers have a slower takeaway leading to the top of the swing or even pausing at the top of the swing. Is there any reason or benefit to having a slower takeaway? I find myself sometimes rushing my takeaway and can’t find much consistency in ball striking

    Hi Alex, I am suffering from hitting to high on the ball and not really hitting it on the bottom. Any suggestion how to constantly hit the ball proper.

  • @kenbrown2808

    my closest course has a forced carry on the first hole. after the early spring tips, I pulled out the same club I used to use for it, and knocked the ball over the next tee box, the first time I played that course this year.

  • @ericehrnsberger8298
    @ericehrnsberger8298 8 місяців тому

    I had a man that I was on driving range with and he says the same. Although I was not sure what he was saying about don't set club right behind ball, hold it back a bit.....NOW I totally understand what he was trying to tell me... thanks Alex can't wait to try this technique.

    • @AlexElliottGolf
      @AlexElliottGolf  8 місяців тому

      Eric! Let me know how you get on!!

    • @ericehrnsberger8298
      @ericehrnsberger8298 8 місяців тому

      @AlexElliottGolf I was always setting the club right up against the ball. I have not had a chance to try it yet as we just had a big storm go through NC and because I work for the city, I was in duty through the night. I'm hoping to get to range sometime this coming week and will def put this to the test.

  • @ndragon88

    Alex do you cut your clubs down a bit to fit your height or do you use stock length?

  • @bestbladerevah
    @bestbladerevah 8 місяців тому

    Why do I have to have my right foot (I'm Lefty) so far behind the ball to give it height off the Tee? You always say inside heel of lead foot but I'm on the outside of my pinky toe almost a half inch to a full inch away and its still not as high as I want. This action also helped me somewhat stop slicing like I'm a NY Pizza Maker.

  • @keithsingleton1698
    @keithsingleton1698 5 місяців тому

    Ok, so after doing this drill, I am now striking the ball in the middle of the club face however, it is high above center. Now what?! I don’t know how to adjust that so I am hitting in the middle and not contacting it so heavy. Any ideas?

  • @garykazanjian824
    @garykazanjian824 8 місяців тому

    Alex, I forgot ask, should you hover the driver in the air and a distance behind the ball?

  • @garykazanjian824
    @garykazanjian824 8 місяців тому

    Alex, can you give some guidance on where the ball position should be? It seems more forward than normal.

    • @AlexElliottGolf

  • @user-rx3yy3zo4w

    Do you hover the driver as well with the low point of the swing just behind the ball?

  • @wettle
    @wettle 6 місяців тому

    What I don't understand is, in your driver video, you state you never hover the driver because it brings tension in to the swing, but with your irons, you say to hover the club......please explain Alex.

    • @AlexElliottGolf
