      Not related to this video but I’m having great difficulty turning the hips without throwing the trail hip forward any ideas on what I can do to stop this ?

    An excellent recommendation and demonstration Alex on how to master the downswing! I really liked the recommended drill and I will doing this one. Although not always successful, I try to get my right shoulder and side more involved in the downswing! Good Job Alex! Keep up the Good Work!!!

    Thank you! Thank you! This was an EXCELLENT video!!! Had my very best ball-striking day in a LONG time. I'm 72 and almost shot my age on a Par 72 6169 yard course!! Felt like this practice move helps you "collect" the ball on the club face. Only had two (2) of my normal 'weak' fades to the right. I'm excited for my next practice session and subsequent round of golf. Thanks again.

    As always love you videos as I'm a feel player... complicated movements are a struggle... this honestly one of the best tips I've ever had! I'm lucky that I can hit a long ball but always been in consistent and over the top.... played tonight and my launch monitor was regularly showing 170 + ball speed ... I can hit that but usually a muscle shot which hurts my back... this was effortless and exactly the tip to take my game to the next level! Thank you! 😊

    The thing I notice on the Ben Hogan and Dustin Johnson swings are how open their hips are at impact. I think the drill you show will help with that. I really struggle with a random over the top move that shows up and ruins my swing.

    Hello Alex…..love your videos! Have just gone through rotator cuff/torn bicep surgery…. Once I can once again start swinging a golf club, which will be awhile, is this a swing that is “friendly” on the body? If so I’ll work on this with my physical therapist

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  Рік тому

      This puts more emphasis on body pivot controlling the move rather than the arms. It may well feel more stable. But don’t keep tension. Flow with structure. And if you’re getting back into it, use tees even with irons. Make sure you are not sweeping them too much but the tee will help less impact vibration and force. You still want to dislodge tee and graze the the grass past the ball. But maybe about divots etc

    @The Art of Simple Golf I usually deal with this by aiming several inches after the ball (depending on the length of the club). I never look at the ball as a target. The ball just gets in the way of the destination point which is several inches after the ball.

    It looks like the lead shoulder stays down longer and goes towards the lead leg, then the trail shoulder goes towards the ball.
    If the trail shoulder goes straight towards the ball then the weight will still be on the trail leg. Correct?
