You have become my go to source for clear, simple, uncluttered advice that actually works
I’m happy to that and glad you’re with us!
The best golf tip I ever had, made my swing looks so simple and free flowing. Thank You.
Excellent well done and keep at it
I love this blog of Alex's tuition, I don't watch any other channel, as here on the art of simple golf - nothing is missing, he sets you up, get you in position, we are out the next day on a mission - Yes Alex is No 1 coach who gives us vision! Thanks Alex!
Again! Love it! Thank you!
Of ALL the videos I have watched, this has got to be my favorite. Swing so well explained.
You have become my favorite teacher of the week - maybe longer. Everything you talked about in the 5 videos I watched address the issues I've been having lately. The takeaway action and wrist setting were killing my swing, because I was so unsure in this position. This drill is another gem.
Hopefully longer than a week lol!
Love the way you deliver the "golf swing" tips and proper alignment/form into simple visual drills that a novice or intermediate golfer can implement into their practice routine. It's helped me create a 5 minute pre-round routine when I cannot get to a range before my tee time. BRAVO!!
Oh excellent!
I’d love to hear what that routine comprises
Wow!! This feels so different in such a positive way and the transition flows and is fast. Will try at driving range tomorrow. Thank you!
Great and let us know how you get on
I have just started playing golf in Pakistan and I followed your guide and one other on You Tube. I can tell you that 2 weeks in and my progress is much better than most other beginners. Thank you sir.
Welcome to this crazy game and glad you’re with us and it’s helping! 👍🏌️♂️💪
What a wonderful golf teaching I’ve ever met . It has solved my long term puzzle about club swing . Thanks a lots !
Thank you very much ! 👍🏌️♂️🏆
Alex - I always enjoy and get a lot out of your content! I watched this video about year ago and incorporated into my address and takeway. It has made my backswing very repeatable and simple. Also, helps get me into a great position to intiate and shallow my downswing . Thanks Marc
Well that’s marvelous and I’m delighted to hear that and thanks for coming back to share! Come into our online club and I’m sure we can help you progress further.
Keep at it! 👍🏌️♂️
Best instructor videos on UA-cam. This guy has a way with bringing feel into the swing and breaks it down so well to understand. Thanks for the tips for us weekenders. Subscribed!
Thank you and glad you’re with us!
You are one of the clearest and helpful coaches, thanks for all the tips.
I appreciate that! Hope it’s helping 👍🏌️♂️💪
Senior golfer here, Alex you have a beautiful swing. Great instructions.
Much appreciated and hope we can help
The visualization of the set up and the steps to a great swing very easy to understand. Thanks
Perfect!
This is a fantastic golf tip! I’m a life long player currently playing to a single digit. I’ve never had a lesson and I’m totally self-taught. This tip revealed two swing flaws I’ve probably had my whole life. Three buckets of balls of incorporating these simple moves have made a huge difference. A natural feel now and I am hitting my irons better than ever. Thank you!!!
This is wonderful to hear it resonated and very well done 👍 I’m delighted that you took it and stuck with it for a little while and practiced. That’s where real improvement that lasts comes from. 👍💪🏌️♂️🏆
One of your best mate, and delivered with your usual infectious enthusiasm. Will be working with this process. x
Thank you kindly and let me know how it goes
Yep, this resonates a lot! I got to this point about a year ago (after a very long long journey to get there) and really focus on nothing else now. People talk about clearing the hips on the downswing, but clearing the right side of the upper body during the pivot allows you to keep the arms out in front for more consistent delivery. Arms in front, let's you shift and drop into position. Even if you fub up, the misses are more manageable.
Yes exactly! Good observations and glad you got there :)
Thanks Alex. Can't wait to try this.
How’d it go?
Thanks for really great lessons. It’s fabulous
More than welcome and delighted to hear it resonated
BEST LESSON EVER. THANKS AND KEEP TEACHING. YOU ARE GREAT
Thanks Jim, too kind but very glad to hear it resonated. Oh and I certainly will keep at it 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️🏆
I really love your teaching style.
Why thank you! 🏌️♂️👍
Wow, nobody has ever explained the connection with such clarity.
Much appreciated and hope it helps
thanks Alex great vid! excellent tips and remarks
More than welcome!
Awesome.. truly muchly so.. what a great teacher you are..
Good to hear and too kind!
Lovely tip, simple explanation, practical demonstration, Thank-you very much
Great! Hope it helps and glad you’re with us 🏌️♂️👍
Fantastic video! Thx
Why thank you Barry and hope it resonated and helps
Thank you so much for showing us this very helpful tip.
More than welcome !
Thanks!
More than welcome!
The fewer things I have to think about the better, thank you for the easy to repeat drill.
Exactly! Cheers 🏌️♂️👍
Great video. I've recently discovered this 'elbow pits facing out' set up but have only been focussing on the trail arm and its already made s huge difference to my hand and club path. I was searching for width by keeping the trail side rigid and it always felt and looked awkward. I'll try this now with both trail and lead arms. 👍
Let me know how it goes!
Great training on the take away
Cheers and hope it helps!
I took this straight out onto the course today, it was so unusual to see the ball fly dead straight for a change, it made my round cheers 👍🏻
Straight I agree
Wonderful well done!!
very good explanation on hinge, body and connection.
Cheers! 👍🏌️♂️
Superb instruction communicated in a very articulate and interesting way. You’ve helped me far more than any other UA-camr.
Great to hear!
I needed tip so bad, with out knowing I needed this tip. Thank you
Love it! Glad to have been of service
This is great!!!!!!
👍🏌️♂️
Incredible...I've had problems with my backswing for a long time until I hit upon this same idea last year. I don't know if it's "right", but this movement feel works the best for me and its definitely improved my swing!
That’s great well done 👍 hope this sheds some new light or reminds you
Well done
🏆👍🏌️♂️
Excellent advice as always.
Connection, as taught by Hogan, Ballard, Cowen. It is so efficient.
👍🏌️♂️
Wonderful video
Many thanks. Keep it simple
its work 👍👍👍
👍🏌️♂️💪
HAD TO COMMENT BRILLIANT. This lesson would have saved me much money and countless lessons with countless Golf Coaches in the last 35 years. I used to be a single digit golfer until teaching methodology derailed me. I discovered the bicep curl myself last year. IT REALLY WORKS. THANK YOU FIR THE GREAT CONFIRMATION IN YOUR BRILLIANT LESSON
Well I’m glad you did comment. Very beneficial for others to see it tried and tested. Thanks!
I want to add something to your swing drill which is really helped me produce a good swing. I used your drill as a predrill where you hold the club in two hands ( the curl )and then turn and rotate to get the right
Yes sounds good to me! Keep at it!
Hogan was a genius at golf, anyway, I really like the way you present this. For myself, I knew that the role of the arms in the backswing was to go up, I knew to keep the elbows pointing out, but I never tied the two together. I really like your teaching style, it literally is the art of a simple swing. All of these online lessons are saying the same things, but I like how you are presenting it. Simple, keep it up, I am subscribing :)
Delighted to hear that Tommy and glad you’re with us now! Very kind of you to say and it’s exactly what I’m trying to do :) cheers 🏌️♂️👍
Keeping the hands rigid & straight at the beginning doesn't make sense , after seeing this video , easy take away & on Plane . Thanks so much
Exactly!
You're the best.
Too kind 👍🏌️♂️💪
I'm glad you mentioned that the trail upper arm/elbow does not have to be 'tight' against the body, just close. This really aids with a smoother, more powerful swing, IMO.
It certainly does!
Hi thank you for the video great stuff. It’s correct that the grip position very similar as one hitting a baseball action.
⛳️👍
I use my hands so much in my swing trying to manipulate the club. This was explained perfectly for me
Excellent to hear and let us know how you get on
First, nice as always, thank you so much!
Thank you kindly! 👍🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Sorry I didn’t finish message. I used your drill to try to reproduce a good swing before the actual swing. It worked sometimes. I then modified it so that I only used a very short backswing but then the full swing through to make sure I got through the ball. This really worked well and gave me a good straight swing with reasonable distance. It was also repeatable which I have been finding very difficult. I also used the concept with pitch shots. Thanks again. Peter
That sounds great to me! Well done, keep at it and thanks for sharing!
Hi, Always enjoy the ways you explain about golf Swing. I am a keen golfer but I also have tennis elbow problem on my left arm. Just wondering if you have any advice on how to stop irritated it while I swing or what needs to avoid during the swing. Thanks
Thanks for the kind words… you may need to release through a little more so your left hand turns over more through

i have been looking for this help, exellent tip,many thanks.
I am excited to begin to implement these principles of the take away and back swing into my game! To date, I have been struggling with having any consistency in my swing. You have helped to reinforce techniques that I have used in the past however over the years I have gotten away from. Thank you for the simple golf swing tip!
Elbow bend makes it impossible to hit over the top or pull. Great tip.
Certainly makes it tougher to do so 👍🏌️♂️
Great video, Alex! Thanks! I always struggle with the start of my takeaway. Should it be wrists, arms, shoulders, or hips?
Try to use momentum
👍💯Good...
👍🏌️♂️🏆
Excellent video on a proper backswing. This drill looks like the best I've seen for a proper backswing. With technique and flow! I've ran into the problem lately of extending too far at the beginning and collapsing later in the swing. Sometimes good. Sometimes bad. Like all your viewers I'm selfish about my game. I want good all the time! I know this new move will get me there. Great simple stuff Alex.
It sounds like you are aware and on the right road. Keep at it and thanks!
Alex. love your videos but new to this channel. I've recently gone back to basics, ie Ben Hogan 5 lessons to re-learn the swing. I notice you advocate many of the same principles. Do you model your AOSG content from Ben Hogan concepts? This video resonates with me as a core hogan tenet (the elbows pointing to each hip)
Welcome and glad you are here! I read the book 20 years ago but don’t remember many specifics I’m afraid.
Awesome video , really like the way you explain 💯 Does this work with all irons and woods ? Thanks
Stephane
Why thank you and Yes indeed 👍💪
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thanks a lot !! 🥳🤩
well, one handed training drills are the key. hold the club out to the left, with just the left hand the club. keep the clubface square. this activates the digiti minimi. this will help the heel pad of the hand to establish control in the takeaway. the digiti minimi then fully extends at the point of propulsion when the club is parallel to the target line. as the digiti minimi fully extends it activates the flexor retinaculum. this enables the wrist joint to push back- connecting the left arm with the left side- when the digiti minimi has fully extended. stop at the top of your backswing and put your right hand on the club. keep pushing back with the wrist joint as you put your right hand on the club. and, keep pushing back with the wrist joint as you set your downswing into motion by fully activating the muscle in the left side of your right forearm
Strangely, this is exactly what I am working on at the moment. I have a problem though; I open my hips to much early, causing a flatter swing than I like, and it makes me cheat on the tilt and the rotation of my upper body. Getting the right elbow in what I think about as pos 1 (elbow pointing towards the body), helps with several things, such as keeping th arms (more) in front of me in the backswing, and maybe more importantly; in the downswing. Thanks!
Sounds like you are on the right road! Keep at it :)
Fantastic instruction but I should say I sort of figured part it out by myselt esp. the critical hinge of the right arm. If fact I noticed on pressure shot there is a tendency to hold on to the club too much with the right hand which inhibit the hinge and The club comes down to fast often givning a big hook. I prefer the one piece takeaway mainly because it works with the short game too. Exposing the arms like that is new to me and it works
Well done for getting there yourself. Self discovery is great as long as we don’t try lots of things. Remember to not get too focused on positions and keep flow on the swing 🏌️♂️🏆
Question Alex - I am an old man now, I have always been embarrassed to ask this question - But here goes - I have never received a golf lesson, but I was informed when I took up the game that one must take away with the left arm/hand (dominant hand) then follow through with the left arm/hand! It worked for me in my younger years, till I started shanking! I played off 9 then, I am now off 13.
I have tried following through with my right hand/arm and have made some great shots, but also some shocking shots! My head/game plan of the golf swing is full of doubt from the first tee to the last! HELP!
Alan my friend… do you play right handed so your target is to your left side? Or the other.. Leftie?
You can send a swing clip to as that would help :)
alex, i like the video and info. i have a bit of an unrelated question about new golf clubs, i went to a shop with a simulator and was hitting some new style irons with hollow heads and thin face, graphite shafts and juiced up lofts like a 7 iron with the loft of about 5 iron. of course i got all this added distance like they turned the clock back about 35 years but i'm not sure if i like it or not, i mean the added distance is fun but as golfers do we really need it instead of just grabbing the next club. what do you think of this new idea, is it an ego thing?
Hi! Well if you liked the flight and feel and it made the strikes a little easier… why not?
Only you can answer that.
Yes it’s more challenging to use more “difficult” clubs… but more rewarding too.
However if confidence and enjoyment are key to you right now… no harm!
what a great lesson.ur drill at the end is the best.thank u and keep up the good work
Good and will do! 🏌️♂️👍
God one thanks
👍🏌️♂️🏆
What brand of your shoes? Good looking
Adidas
I really like this video but having a problem when you talk about adding the bicept curl to when you are throwing the club back. I seem to just be using my wrists for the curl but you are saying actually do the curl the whole bottom
of the arms which is difficult. Peter R
It’s very subtle and a suggested feel.. don’t try to do too much
Thats thé right Way🏌️👍
Yay
If you are doing the bicep curl, aren't you being the left elbow along with the right?
The bicep curl is an awareness thing more than a hard specific move
Does this apply to both irons and wood?
Yes indeed
Hi Where can i buy caps and standbag(Ben Hogan)please?

Best backswing lesson I’ve seen. Played golf for fifty years with handsy takeaway and very inside. This lesson got me on plane with dramatically improved contact and direction instantly. Thank you for this!
Excellent and wonderful to hear. I'm sorry I wasn't UA-cam was not
My first golf lesson 3 days after I started was how to hit a shank not how to prevent a shank but to hit one reason being so you could get around the tree in your way. Andy told me you'll look like Houdini when you pull it off. Also I was told every time I hit balls to hit a few Shanks so I had that in my bag. I thought this Andy who told me this was a little crazy at the time but I did as he said over the years and 10 years would go by where my ball wedged right behind a tree on number 10 at Spyglass 150 yards from the PIN the guys said I had no shot and had to re-tee. Under my breath I said you don't know my first lesson. I said I'm going to hit the shot as they laughed. I pulled out my 5-iron took a few minutes 2 size the shot up and pulled off the purest shot I've ever hit in 52 years the most beautiful shank that carried to The Fringe of the green rolled out 50 feet and died in the hole for a 2. My 350lb friend was jumping up and down on the green like a little school girl at recess. I thank my neighbor Andy who taught me how to hit a Shank until this day I've never seen anything like it.
I’m sorry I didn’t see this sooner… this is truly wonderful! What a tale. Well done and so cool! 🏌️♂️🤦🏻♂️🏆⛳️
This was a very well produced, clear, informative video. A principle that a spiritual master once said about starting the meditation he taught, which has universal application and is certainly illustrated well here is, "well begun is half done".
I appreciate the kind words and glad it resonated!🏌️♂️💪
Is this exactly the same theory with driver?
I will try that. You haven't let me down so far. So if it works & I hit the lottery, I will pay you double your normal teaching price, if not, then I'll pay triple, because obviously I need more work. Lmao. I got 10 pars the last 3 times I went golfing, with some better putting and chipping, I would have been in the 70's for sure. Thanks again for the great vids Alex!!
Love it ! Let me know how it goes Eric
Hi, do you use a wrecker grip.
Weaker
Weaker than neutral, no. I alter my grip a little depending on the swing feels I want
Will this work with the driver?
Yes indeed. A lesson will be out very soon related
👍
🏌️♂️👍
Alex, can you pause for a half second at the top?
Yes you can but I don’t love it for most… it should always be in motion.
It can appear to stall because of the change of direction. This happens if you allow it and feel like you start your downswing before you complete your backswing
Does not mean rushed.
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thank you!
I think a lot of people just over complicate or just plain overthink the golf swing.... just relax, swing and hit.
That can be a good thing for sure
👍👍👍⛳️
Let us know how you get on
What about takeaway with driver?
Similar. It will just go a little wider as it were if you set up with more tilt
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Thanks a lot for the tip I am now literally smoking my driver down the fairways taking it a little slow on the backswing keeping that take away in mind
@@villarrealmarta6103 brilliant and well done!
Damn no one ever talked about this, I always wonder why I cant get width at the top
Hope it helps!
What is the them music?
No clue sorry
my Doubt is: my triceps in on top of my chest or side by side of my chest?
This really worked for me,but Lot's of tops
Tilting trail side down too much on down swing perhaps
liv 3rd round golf
👍🏌️♂️
when you wear a long sleeve shirt the same color as background it's harder to see what's going on.
Wear short sleeves and light color even if it isn't as cool
👍
At approx 3:10 you show a biceps curl with both arms, but then on the backswing the left arm is straight, and not curling at all.
It’s a feeling is all
He means the feel at address. (inner arms facing up)
I seen another video describing this set up as "giving blood", meaning to turning up the inner forearms up and facing the sky, and then just rotate your forearms only, in to the grip position
So forget the ball and just swing thru the ball?
Thats one feel yes
Uh OK. Allot to think about and we're only on the backswing .... but I get it. I'll say it again ... you can do all the drills you want but once you have the club in your hands it all changes.
There are ways to bridge it
He's absolutely right, but it is so difficult to rotate the right arm, shoulder and hip at right angle to allow the left arm to travel to the top freely. Basically, you want the shaft pointing to the ball all the way to shoulder level and keep it pointing to the ball on the downswing. With that, you will never miss a regular shot.
That’s a good goal
Ok. Maybe it’s just me. And I’m perfectly willing for that to be the case. Now without getting too much into the job of our brain for me personally if and when I am focused on a specific thing - when I’m trying to learn to DO something - I’ve found that I learn better and grasp information quicker if I am NOT having to continually change or adjust my focus from one thing to another. OK so -
“DO” and “DON’T DO” are two EXTREMELY different and opposing actions. To go from one back to the other can be extremely jarring to the brain. No different than running one way and then being told to run the other way. Just for fun consider everything that has to happen in your brain to accomplish switching directions.
If I’m trying to DO something that someone is showing me how to do then I have a specific thing to focus on.
But if while I’m trying to imitate or match what I’m being showed or told - and then out of the blue I begin being instructed all of the things NOT to do -
Again -
Simply consider the amount of work you have just given to yourself to do.
My point: I SINCERELY WISH those people making these videos would take the time to actually PREPARE what they are going to do.
When I’m learning something I want to know what TO do AND know what not to do. JUST NOT AT THE SAME TIME.
Very valid and always room for improvement
Your backswing is simple, but your downswing is complicated. So how can u call yourself simple golf swing??
What about downswing do we make complicated? It's not really discussed in this little lesson
A whole lot of words, but not clear instruction.
Sorry about that
Sorry but your commentary is just too abstract.
👍🏌️♂️
Agree : Alex is the best coach out there. I wished I lived in England so I could visit him ( not really) but I wish he was in Melbourne! This lesson along with his hip lesson are just pure gold. Thank You Alex, please follow me at whocant. Grateful Aussie.
That’s too kind but thank you! I’ll make it back out to Australia one of these days and do a clinic for sure:)
Thanks for being with us and I’ll keep trying to help:) 💪🏆👍
