@AlexElliottGolf Funny, how a swing tip can get your game up to a high standard, and then it kind of wears off, and you have to begin searching all over again.
Another way to do this, set up the same way on the ball with it lined up to the heel of your front foot, put your right hand on your hip and slide it down right above your knee bend, and just bring your hand up to the club. Gives you that backwards tilt and feels a little awkward at first but it really worked for me. Try a few other methods of course and see what fits you the best
Pff, never trust a guy that uses Titleist Tru Feel balls... lol You dont look at the ball, you look at the back of the ball. Best ball striking advice I've ever had.
Women comes running into the pro shop, "someone help me, I was out on your course and I got stung by a bee!", pro says "Wow, where were you stung?", woman says, "I don't know, somewhere between the 1st and 2nd hole." Pro says, "Lady first of all, I've got to tell you, your stance is way to wide!"
Or what you can do is put your right hand down your right leg to behind your knee then put your hand onto the golf club. That creates a lot of space and can stop the out to in swing as well as hitting up on the ball having a more draw set up with your shoulders. Then you just need to make sure to stand level (never over exaggerate your stance for draw or ball position) and to keep your chest down while you coil your swing, elbow in and head stable. Then boom, perfect drive. The only difference with irons is put your right hand down behind the thigh in the middle vs your knee and obviously smaller stance and instead of ball at the ankle, 1 ball back for wood, another ball for long irons, another ball back for mid/ short irons, and middle for wedges. To compress, push hands forwards a little when set up like cricket so you hit down on the ball
Instead of this I started setting up about 4 inches or so behind the ball with my driver. I'm very much a novice BUT I hit my drive square every single time in my last round! It's worth trying out everyone!
ive got an old vhs somewhere of me explaining exactly the same thing when i was about 11 haha. filmed around 1990. true story. i will have to find it lol.
Hi Alex, I already do exactly what your covering here, my query is where is the focal point on around the green chip and runs & flop shots, thanks Philip
Spine tilting is catastrophic for one-plane (rotary) swingers, as they don’t need more width. It’s good only for two-plane (upright) swingers, as they need more width. It’s a width-creating move, catastrophic for one set of fundamentals but good for the second. All of this is brilliantly laid out in Jim Hardy’s The Plane Truth book and his following books, along with his 3-part DVD and subsequent Secrets from the Plane Truth Vault series of DVDs.
I’ve been marking the exact same 3 blue dots on my balls since i started playing 4 yrs ago. Thought it was unique to me. Now you’ve SOILED IT. SOILED IT. SOILED IT. Lol
Do old school saltwater ball balance. Mark high and low spots and join their circumference. Ball stamps and markings bear no relation to ball balance. Works.
No, I've been marking my ball with 3 blue dots like that for the past 5 years. Nothing to do with this tip. I do tend to lose a decent amount of balls, so they could be mine! :D
Tilt still doesn’t matter if swing arc and general athleticism are lacking. Most golfers should start by hitting easy 3W’s from tee, grab an extra club for approach shots, and spend as much time at the practice chipping/putting greens as they do trying to hit “bombs”. A “bomb” is meaningless if you constantly three putt or thin every chip.
but what if you drive it of bounds so start with 3 off the tee. Poor short game and /or poor driving both result in poor outcomes. It's just a difficult game where everything needs to go well.
Wait a minute….great idea but - you say to move your right foot back….so it appears, using foot-aiming, that you are aimed at forest on right side? Please clarify
Why are you rolling a golf ball and a felt tip pen between your thumb and forefinger? Was that some kind of pre-shot drill or were you just glad to see them?
I sure hope nobody was in the “ go from here” spot in the first place! Folks as long as you END on the LEFT side things will be better. Hit it on the way into the finish = lower spin/better launch.. which then = less slice/hook/more fairways
It's hard for me too focus on the dots because I'm focusing on the putter I just broke the hole before and now I have too putt with my pitching wedge but thanks anyway
Much easier to just tee the ball with the logo pointing away from the target and look at that 🤷🏼♂️ The problem with telling beginners to do this, though, is there are about a million ways to look at the dots from a bad position, and they usually find all million of them 😂 I just have them setup to the Driver with only their lead hand on the club. Once they have their alignment and are in a solid address position, I have them feel the weight 70% on the inside of the trail foot, then add the trail hand to the grip without changing their alignment. This forces them to tilt away properly, and saves markers at the same time 😎
🤔 is that how I was supposed to use those markings on the found ball I played today (and lost 6 holes in)? I'll get back to you with a 👍🏼 when I try it and it works
Try moving your ball back about an inch in your stance at address. Also pronate (bow) your left wrist as you begin your downswing. Might give you a lower ball flight with more roll out.
Good tip. I went from a 20 handicap to a 20 handicap with this advice.
😂😂
Lmaaaaooo 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Suck
@@nowaythatnamewastakn keep your mother out of this.
Phenomenal!!!
I always find a lot of balls on courses with the 3 dots on em. I initially thought the Predator was after me but now I know why.
I find plenty of those "Predator" balls in the woods & O.B.
Haha - too funny!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I have never seen anyone leaned over in front of the ball like that 😂
I think he was exaggerating for effect
@@Butcho22 obviously.
@@braydenboyko8525why say it then?
Maybe he was just bored
Never seen me play golf then, gave it up after the first couple round because I played just like this and well you can assume the rest.
Cool tip! When my ball is woods, I'll be able to identify it from the other stray balls.
I pocket all the stray balls I find in there. I don't see my shot in the woods as a bad hit, I see it as opportunity
@@KJR767 We think alike! lol
Absolutely 😁
Adress the ball... me: "Hello ball"
Honey mooners
I'm more of a ''Hey Ball, How are youu?....IF YOU EVER PULL WHAT YOU DID ON THAT LAST HOLE AGAINNN I'M GOING TO MURD.....'' : ) I Kidddd
If I focus on the ball I will top it every time. I have to focus on brushing the turf 8 inches behind the ball.
Probably one of those guys i see hitting a 9 iron with the ball by his back foot so he can tell his buddies his 9 goes 150 😆
M
I’m the complete opposite. If I look at or behind the ball I duff every shot. I have to look inches in front of it to hit the ball first
@@PrawjjekWith a driver you want to be looking behind the ball
It’s all relative to your personal low point in your OWN swing.
There are more Golf tips than stars in the sky 😮
Depends on what sky you’re lookin at

I’ll keep them coming :)

*This tip got me from a handicap of 27 to scratch in on day !!*
😂😅😊
No way
Totally with you on this. Not scratch yet for me, but my scoring average went from 105ish to 75ish in a few outings. Who knew golf was this easy!
hahaha the last part killed me. V nice.@@CD-sz7tf
Lol
Golf is the only sport with innumerable tips that dont really help anyone
Unbelievably & unequivocally true.
Save the marker for a coloring book. Just tilt right and touch your right knee with your fingers at address, and then swing
I’m opposite, I have to focus on the leading edge of the ball. Solved alot of my chunky problem.
Excellent tip. I went from a novice weekend warrior with a mild slice to becoming a novice weekend warrior with a mild slice. Muy bien!

I’m gonna lean towards taking advice from Nicklaus…maybe Hogan….maybe Watson
I'm a 5 handicap and have played 50+ years; and staring at a spot on a golf ball makes no sense to me at all.
It does for me, would needs something to concentrate to keep my head down 😊
@@douglasgilzean9801Same here. It works!
Keep yer eye on the ball!
Really I mean just hit the damn ball lol don’t need this stupid tip unless you have less than half a brain
Imagine your handicap with this trick!!!
Pff, never trust a guy that uses Titleist Tru Feel balls... lol
You dont look at the ball, you look at the back of the ball. Best ball striking advice I've ever had.
What’s up w Tru-Feels? Never used em.
@@chrisfs1891The Titleist Pro v1 is much better

Then shake it all about 😂
I usually find my marked ball the week after 😂in the same shit.
Cheers mate will give it a try. I took 12 of my handicap so far this year so desperate to try everything to get it lowrr
Btw hitting up on the ball helps maximize trajectory amd reduce spin making it fly farther
Same as a few others, I’ve found balls here and there on the golf course with three dots and wondered why they did that? Now I know. thanks
Must say I like how you don't back down to anyone in the comment section, good bloke that.
gOoD bLoKe tHaT
Should the cross no longer be visible for the correct spine tilt?
You might want to try leaning back that far and it should answer your own question
Only if you want to fall over 😮
Instead of this I started setting up about 4 inches or so behind the ball with my driver. I'm very much a novice BUT I hit my drive square every single time in my last round! It's worth trying out everyone!
Search up “Moe Norman”
Also Jon Rahm did that during the Masters this year look at his highlights.
I do this as well, every drive goes as straight as a die.
I now can't stop hitting holes in one!
Thanks for the chuckle!
ive got an old vhs somewhere of me explaining exactly the same thing when i was about 11 haha. filmed around 1990. true story. i will have to find it lol.
My best tip for hitting driver is this: Hit it as far as you can down the fairway. 👍
My biggest issue with driver is head movement, so this is a helpful cue to keep me focused on staying behind the ball. Thanks
Visuals are so helpful. I try to have one for many different thoughts.
Insane help you are very good at these videos still am not great but I hit some shots 250 plus yards in middle of fairway
Maybe i overestimated a bit maybe 230-240 total
Helped me too. Definitely works for my swing type.
If you draw 6 dots on the right, you'll hit it twice as far.
I tried this today and it worked so well! I got at least 15/20 yards extra! Brilliant tip I’m subscribing to this Chanel, keep up the good work 👍
this helped me to hit driver & ball contact 80% more consistent from my struggle slump. 👍👍👍

How do you like the trufeel balls?
*heads to the drawer for a sharpie
"If you can nail that tilt shot consistently, the dots might be unnecessary,
I have seen those dots on balls on the course for years and never knew why :-)
This might work but I have lost count of balls with 3 dots I found in the rough 😊
I literally hit best when I’m not focus on the anything at all. Just kind of zoning out on the ground with the ball in my vision.
Thanks, i was able to hit the ball with your advice.
I’ve been marking the exact same 3 blue dots on my balls since i started playing 4 yrs ago. Thought it was unique to me. Now you’ve SOILED IT. SOILED IT. SOILED IT. Lol
Yea, like that really works.
I tee my ball with the mark on the front and I focus on that so I hit thru the center of the ball to the mark
Do old school saltwater ball balance. Mark high and low spots and join their circumference. Ball stamps and markings bear no relation to ball balance. Works.
I was a golf coach, this is a good trick
ask you opponent if the breath in or out on their back swing.
I've seen this on some golf balls I've found, I wondered what it meant. Now I know!
Same! I always thought it was just a golfer identifying their ball.

Tried this on friday and sat. Hit drives better and shot a net -5 to finish 3rd in club comp gross +5 best round of the year
So good to hear
😂😅
Cc deactivated lol 😆 great tips with graphics.
I was slicing new driver till leaned back ,need to transfer weight for more distance
Funny I’ve found many golf balls with these 3 dots and always wondered wth they were on the ball for 😂
For how many balls i find in the bush, this definitely doesn't help with slices and hooks haha
Titleist TSR drivers are mint
I tried this and almost hit the ball
This will be on your sister channel "Average golfer" very soon!
😂
Just focus on the ground behind the ball. This makes sure your low point will be behind the ball and you will be swinging up at impact
What happens if I run out of marker? Well, Sharpie (Newell Brands) is going to spike after this, and run out of inventory
Wait a minute….great idea but - you say to move your right foot back….so it appears, using foot-aiming, that you are aimed at forest on right side? Please clarify
Yeah that’s right
I collect golf balls from the woods and I’ve definitely seen a lot of golf balls with markings like this lost so idk if it’s working
Why are you rolling a golf ball and a felt tip pen between your thumb and forefinger? Was that some kind of pre-shot drill or were you just glad to see them?

Just drop your right shoulder a little and it will have the same effect.
You just better hope that the person is not cross eye dominant or this could be an even larger issue for alignment
This is your brain on Sharpies
Found a golf ball on the course with 3 dots 😂
why everyone hating on this man he js wanna help for the people who arent good at that
If you want to hit a slice then put that ball on your front foot
excellent!
I never look at the x side….ever.
If you tried every tip in a round you would be all over the place,just address the ball and hit it.
Great tip
What if you left handed?
The 10.5° Driver and tru-feel ball is a massive red flag!
May I ask why? Really doesn’t make a difference if your handicap is above single figures. Or is there something you know that I don’t? Cheers
Another golf tip. I got one for ya. Take the club back....and hit the damn ball.
Im pretty pumped for this, I hope Tyson shows up ready to get a KO. The Tyson that showed up to the Roy Jones jr fight wont be enough
So it helps you hit it up? What if my driver already goes up? Goes out 225 yards and then drops with no roll… I assume it’s going up with backspin
Try moving your ball back about an inch in your stance at address. Also pronate (bow) your left wrist as you begin your downswing. Might give you a lower ball flight with more roll out.
I'm going to try this..
No I’m not doing this!!!
I mean it Elliot! I WONT DO IT! 😡
I’ll give it a shot next week
😂
Never take advice from a golfer who plays a Titelist Trufeel!
Thanks great 👍 tip🏌️♂️💥⛳️
I still killed 400,000 Worms today..... but hey it was 450,000 before this tip! 🍻
#WormBurner
I have found balls from time to time with 3 dots on them
If you're struggling, try it.
Why put x on other side just put one mark or turn marking on ball and just look at that .. seems a lot of work to reinvent the wheel
This is pretty smart tbh
does it work same left hander dont laugh at me i am curious
I need need more than three dots on a ball
Boom out the heel haha
