  • Your Feet Are Lying to You Before You Start Golf Swing . In this video, I'm going to share a simple golf tip that can help you hit your shots straighter. Most golfers make the mistake of aiming with their toes, but this is actually a big mistake. The line drawn for the golf target will not be where you think if you use your toes. But if you use the heels, you can have more accurate golf shots.
    during your swing, so it's not a reliable way to aim. Instead, you should aim with your grip.
    Here's how it works:
    Find a target that you want to hit.
    A Big Mistake in golf swing set up is about aiming with the toes can lead to inaccurate golf shots
    Place your clubface square to the target.
    Grip the club so that the leading edge of the grip is pointing directly at the target.
    Make your swing.
    By aiming with your grip, you'll ensure that your clubface is square to the target at impact. This will help you hit your shots straighter and more consistently.
    Here are some additional tips to help you hit straighter shots:
    Make sure your stance is square to the target.
    Keep your head down and your eyes on the ball.
    Swing smooth and controlled.
    With a little practice, you'll be hitting straighter shots in no time!

    Used the heel method today on the course. Hit some of the best on target shots I've hit in a long time. Multiple birdie chances. Thanks. 👏👏👏

    MY FRIEND this is the single most helpful golf video I've seen. Getting older, I've been splaying my feet naturally and playing military golf (left, right, left, right), constantly being told I'm aimed right or left.
    Took this out to the course today and....straight as a string. Thank you and subscribed!

    Absolutely brilliant advice mate especially for those struggling to get the club to pass their body on the left
    Years of poor understanding have led to some serious injuries I wish I had flared feet from day dot.
    It unlocks the hip joints, takes pressure off the lower spine and also can give you a visual aid for shoulder path and club face 🙏🏼
    Besides most importantly lining you up on intended target giving you a better chance to execute the proposed task

    The tip to flare the toes out is great, I can see where it will help to get hip’s towards the target. Great tip!!

    I've been playing golf for 50 years! I was taught to flare left foot slightly down target line and turn right foot slightly inward on same line! This immediately improved my proper target alignment and eliminated over body rotation.

    Great points…flaring toes out helps hips, torso on us older golfers…..viewing heel line is more accurate than toe line to target….will try it next round, thx!

  • @brodygoalie
    @brodygoalie 9 місяців тому

    So heels should be exactly at the target or a bit Left of the target? Thanks. Love your vids!

  • @nasiruddin-zq6ik
    @nasiruddin-zq6ik 8 місяців тому

    Thanks Alex for this interesting concept. Definitely i am going to try this. Just to confirm from you the angle of foot. Right one should be 25 to 30 degree and left foot should be 45 degree flared. Is is ok?

  • @luis356
    @luis356 9 місяців тому +2

    Great video as always. I've never picked intermediate point in front of the golf ball to target, intermediate point 1m behind the golf ball so as my chest is facing ball and imaginary line front of me. I am generally correctly aligned Parallel to target.

    Interesting. I usually align my toes and shoulders. First then move my toes. But I do agree I do sometimes fidget afterwards. So I learned something today. Thank you and cheers from Vancouver Island Canada

    Got just that problem,I’m 62 and rather stiff in my hips. So I use to turn left foot a bit out for getting my body out of the way. And shot left…

      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  9 місяців тому

      Could do. Just never thought it’s that beneficial. It’s about how you are to translate it to your game not how my demo shot went. But maybe I will.
      They generally go where I want lol

  • @justinhance1700
    @justinhance1700 9 місяців тому +1

    I assume I do this for sure so great advice. Related, I have found I have this issue for ball placement. Because I flare my left foot for that turn I often preset it that way which causes me to have the ball too far forward.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  9 місяців тому +1

      Too common. Practice with check points and be vigilant. Tour pros check and monitor basics almost daily

  • @rickcarter3183
    @rickcarter3183 9 місяців тому +1

    What if you don’t flare toes at first at set up to get aim then flair when ready

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  8 місяців тому

      Yes that can work but heels are still a better representation

  • @bwnco
    @bwnco 8 місяців тому +1

    ya ok, but everyone is different an we have to do what is best for us. If i line up straight to target at 90yds shot im hitting to left by 30 feet. I have to line up what seems to be 10 to 15ft to right of the pin to be smack ish on. But I will see an focus today on heel placement an see if that is whats going on.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  8 місяців тому +1

      Not every lesson can be applicable for everyone all the time. It’s an awareness is all for many too

  • @Paul-viking
    @Paul-viking 9 місяців тому +7

    Couple of observations with this lesson. (1) Wouldn't it be easier to flare the toes out an equal amount? (2) I like to bring right foot back slightly so heal alignment will not work for me.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  9 місяців тому

      It can help yes

    • @mbda1
      @mbda1 8 місяців тому

      to deal with this, i always align square, then when I'm ready i flare last minute. helped me a ton

    • @rbann7135
      @rbann7135 8 місяців тому +1

      I align my hips with the target. Works for me because sometimes your feet will compensate a shift to slopes even during the swing for balance

    Actually, I try to aim my shoulders to an area. It can be the flag or any spot on the course. Maybe I'm wrong?

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  9 місяців тому

      Shoulders can be used but need to check if you’re calibrated correctly as it were

    • @bryans.7220
      @bryans.7220 9 місяців тому

      I was told aiming your shoulders changed the the shot curve that you're trying to hit. Left for a fade, Rt for a draw. 🤷‍♂️
      But as the old saying goes, there's many different ways to skin a cat.

  • @pdecker
    @pdecker 8 місяців тому +1

    None of it matters. If I aimed like train tracks incorrectly and missed a 100-yard shot by the 2 feet between my heels and my ball, I'd be super happy with it. The difference between the train tracks and aiming directly at the target when the target is 100 yards away is moving your lead foot (and the rest of your alignment with it) about a 1/4 inch if you do the geometry.
    Maybe the best advice is to simply stand behind the ball and pick something a few feet in front of the ball as an intermediate target when you then address the ball.

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  8 місяців тому

      The intermediate point is crucial and I talk about it a lot in lessons and videos. But this is a lightbulb moment for many to see how they can get body alignment off

  • @brandonh4633
    @brandonh4633 8 місяців тому +1

    best is to just take a practice shot and look at the line in the grass u just made

  • @hillcrestschool6704
    @hillcrestschool6704 9 місяців тому

    How can you check correct alignment with heels looking from front. Absurd logic. Opening toes may change alignment but not if both toes are opened equally.

    7 minutes to explain a simple concept. It may be worth the try, but keeping the video to no more than 5 minutes will keep your audience interested.

  • @davidgraham8058
    @davidgraham8058 9 місяців тому

    I’m not convinced this is true. Most players set the club face up to target first, then set the body in relation to it. So if the club face is square to target, this nonsense with the feet becomes irrelevant anyway.
