I want to thank you. I've struggled trying to get my low point to be after the golf ball. I was relegated to playing the ball back in my stance to achieve any kind of ball first compression contact. But that led to a steep downswing and too deep of a divot. This knee move changed everything. It was the epiphany I had been searching for. Game changer. Much gratitude. You gained a subscriber.
I've been a subscriber for a few years now and your tips has really helped lower my score! With your videos my game is only getting better. Thanks!
Awesome! It’s where I suck at golf. Topping and thinning and hitting the ground before the golf ball. Every once in awhile, I’ll hit the ball first and it’s a glorious feeling. Like hitting a baseball 400’. I love to hate this game…..
This is so simple and such good advice. Also, I not only subscribed last year, I’m lucky enough to live not far from Ali’s location and have had a lesson in person 😀!!
Good stuff Ali, yes it’s soggy in uk on inland courses I’m sure this tip will help 😊
1st time seeing your channel…..great advice and thank you for sharing….had to sub!
A while ago I took a three-day golf academy with the head pro at Kapalua. The thing that stuck with me was when he said: "Forty percent of your greens fee goes to course maintenance. You've already pre-paid for the divots, you might as well take them!"
It's a fine line between "moving the lead knee forward" and swaying the whole body forward. In my case swaying led to a crapload of different problems, and the subconscious "corrections" that came with it, including back issues. All the while I thought I was performing "weight transfer" from back to front. I would be mindful that if someone tries this, they do it in verrrry small adjustments, and with video documentation before and after. Just my opinion.
Just maintain head position over the ball as that knee does it's stuff.
Ali Taylor is one of my top guys for lessons. watch him you might learn something!!!
Thank you!!!
Thanks Ali. I'm watching this on repeat before I play tomorrow!
Hope it helped
thats cool ali, and just what (among other things,) i`m trying to
work into my game, just moving the lead knee toward the ball
with no lateral -off axis- sway is helping !😇👍
Just subscribed! Love the way you deliver your content thanks
Awesome, thank you!
Very useful, thanks
You're welcome!
First great swing tip I got as a 12 year old was from my first caddie master, who eventually became a teaching pro. He saw I already naturally had a good swing so he said ‘get your divot to start halfway through the ball’. Hips then hands.
I’m with you
Great, man. Simplicity at its best.
Much appreciated!
Simplicity? LOL I have been trying that for over a year, and still chunk.
Ali, well done! I do have one serious question... What do you fix your eye on when hitting the ball? Do you actually aim directly at the ball or not... and if you do aim at the ball do you look at the top of the ball, strike side of the ball, or the front of the ball?
UA-cam must be spying on me. This is exactly what I’ve been working on this week. This has made a huge difference for me - it’s a reliable way of ensuring that I get my low point forward and that I get my hips moving around. Great tip.
Great video Ali..would you suggest focusing on striking the low point ,as you have previously said, as well as moving the left knee ?
Could be a big help
One thing that has helped me shift my weight forward is to never shift it back in the backswing. If I can imagine a spear in the ground with the tip about an inch away from my right hip (I am a right handed golfer) and when I do my backswing I don't feel my weight transfer to my right foot as much as I feel it cycle upwards into my chest. I know it sounds weird but it feels like I am storing it up rather than rocking onto my right foot. Then when I am ready to do the downswing it always me to release that stored up energy down and through the ball. I usually do not take much of a divot but I definitely have been getting contact with the ball first.
I’ve been struggling to shift my weight forward. I’m hoping that the left knee move may be the answer
Ali, I have tried to slow the video down to see where your head and eyes are looking when you hit the ball. It seems to me you’re already looking at the target when your club is striking the ground. Is that possible and you’re picking it so clean you don’t even need to look?
I played a golf outing and I focused on other players low point after the swing and with all the bad shots they were hitting turf first then ball. I struggle with this on the range and focused on my sternum but will try focusing on the left knee to see it that works better.
Try swinging faster. Swing speed creates lag which creates divots.
Here's a statement and a question. I'm very stiff and have always had a great deal of difficulty in getting a 90 degree shoulder turn. I was recently watching a video of Jack Nicklaus's swing. He raises the heel of the front leg, sometimes quite a bit, which causes the forward knee to move backward, away from the target *and* forward, toward the imaginary line running through the ball and the target. This causes the hips to turn, before the shoulders, so the order is arms, hips, shoulders, and it helps a great deal in achieving the 90 degree shoulder turn. I notice that you don't do this, you keep the forward heel on the ground, and I've also read this way taught. Is raising the forward heel like this a good "cheat" for stiff people?
Thanks for the tip!…I will be working in this since I do hit fat occasionally.
One question though …What do you look at/concentrate on at address, is it the back,center or front of the ball or even in front of it…Thanks, Mark 🍻
In front of the ball
@@AliTaylorGolf Thanks for the response!…I did see another one of you videos stating that after I asked the question….Keep the great content coming! 🍻
Love this, i just need to get rid of my mental block that stops me hitting the ground at all.
That's my problem, too. As soon as I think about bruising the turf, multiple practice swings either miss the ground altogether, or dive into it way behind where the ball's going to be. Location of problem: right between my ears.
Hit that Subscribe button! 🙌🏼
Boom!!
In just one day it changed my entire game both with driver and irons
The number of golfers who have the low point of their swing on the correct side of the ball but still hit the ground early is a concern. Their arc is too low in relation to the ground. Lift the arc up and bang ball then ground contact
The worry is they still think their low point is wrong
Is your studio at Herons Reach?
Yes it is!!
What is the ideal low point after the ball? 1 inch 2 inch more?
Depends on the amount of loft. Short irons maybe 3-4 inches ahead, less as the clubs get longer and less lofted.
I agree it is about the lead knee --- but I think a better way to describe how you get the weight over early is that by the time your club is half way back in your backswing your lower body weight should have shifter to your front side. Think when you throw a ball (step and throw) you don't weight till your arm is all the way back before you start loading weight on to your front foot -- you start transferring weight to your front foot by the time you arm has moved half way back - you should be doing the same in the golf swing. That is all you have to think and the step shallows the club for you.
5:30 I am part of the 12%. ;-)
Go to the Chase and speed it up a bit
C;mon people,hit subscribe ! Ali is giving us gold for free!
I been a picker of the ball for 50 years. I hope this left knee move can get me taking a divot.
Highly doubt it. 😂
Contrary to belief if your good at picking stick with it. You don’t have to take a divot. Many pro golfers don’t.
were you hittin a 7 or 8 iron???
7 iron
Hi ali where are you based
Blackpool, UK
@@AliTaylorGolf I thought I recognised de here 👍
For driver as well? Asking for a friend…
It doesn’t need to be this complicated.
How old were you before you realized the divot comes after hitting the ball? Me= 60yrs and 51 weeks.
Hardest thing to do in golf in my opinion.
Help me be a better golfer brother.
the machine is not factual feedback. its an estimate.
What gives bettter feedback than a dual radar system?
sooo.. it just so happens that the ratio of subscribers to watchers is equal to your current subscription count to a million? fascinating.
Ok but how is "this like cheating?"
Because it's so simple
Another golf video that uses half the run time showing what not to do.
That’s true but it’s a six minute video. That’s like one tv commercial break
UA-cam instructors seem obsessed by 'taking a divot' when in fact, gouging a trough in the grass has little or nothing to do with ball flight - by that time, the ball is long gone. Moe Norman, Tiger Woods and the great Jack Nicklaus hardly ever took divots.
Ever watch a PGA event? There’s divots all over the place. The best players in the world take divots.
@@johnhaining9357 Of course I have but I have to question why and as you say 'some'of the best players take divots and of course, if that's the answer to every strike problem......... To date I've not had an understandable answer hence the reference to the players I mentioned. Just asking......
@@leswolstenholme4925 the divot after the ball is a natural consequence of the type of swing that typically gives you the best result, just from a pure physics standpoint. The shape of the divot will tell you how you hit the ball which is good feedback which most golfers like.
Because the bottom of the swing is after you hit the ball, not when you hit the ball
It’s all AOA.
