*making a great swing with BAD ALIGNMENT is the worst thing! This is the biggest GAME DESTROYER. Use this hack!*
Great advice. Been following you for a couple of months. One of the best instructors on UA-cam. Simple, fast, clear, practical. Thank you!
Awesome Alex thank you I definitely needed this one can’t wait to go try it out
I wish I could get in person lessons with you! You make things seem so easy and simple it would make lessons a lot less stressful.
Great video, Alex! i always believe alignment is very critical on every of my shot cos if i do not aim correctly, then how is my shot going to end up at or near my target unless its luck lol. Will definitely work on this the next time out there on the range. Thanks so much!
Great video Alex ...... I could really do with some tips to improve my bunker play. Its a score killer and really could do with tips to make sure I get out first time. Keep.up the great content 👌
My iron set has lower degrees for longer distance. I would be grabbing for PW at a distance of 150. Great video Alex! Thanks for the tips as always!
I naturally had an open stance, parallel shoulders with my scoring irons, but the driver one is new, and makes sense that it's the club I struggle with in regards to accuracy the most, so I'm gonna try that feel tomorrow. Cheers Alex!
Great tip!
I only just gave my mate the tip on pitch shots last week, instantly better as he felt less anxious on his line. Good stuff for re-inforcing this for me.
Also, 137m (150yds) would be a smooth 8iron. I'm not long with my irons.
As usual a great watch.
Thanks Alex, I've just started my golf 'journey' - it's a bumpy ride so far but I'm enjoying your tips. My big problem is teeing off, I am trying to remember so much (grip, feet, hips, shoulders, left arm straight, torso, wrists - aaahhhhhh!) and the ball goes nowhere. Looking forward to trying your alignment tip.
FINALLY! 👍🏻
I recently discovered that when I keep my shoulders square (or slightly closed) with the driver, I have been ripping it long & straight.
I looked all over UA-cam to find this little tip with the driver and was surprised to find very little on it. Amazing, since (as you mention) with the ball forward in your stance, and your right hand below the left on the grip, it’s so easy to setup with your shoulders OPEN (even if you get your feet, knees & hips square). I also noticed when other places take one last look at their target, that too opens the shoulders, and oftentimes they don’t square them up after.
It works!
Focus on your shoulders and start hitting your driver long & straight! ☝🏻
Yes!!!’ 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼 hope this helps I really appreciate all the support
Hey Alex. Love your teaching videos. I have had to watch your video on ball position several times. When I get lazy I either place the ball to far forward causing pull/hook or too far back causing a fade/slice. The grip and ball position are critical.
Can’t believe such a small change can make a big difference. Keep it up. Thanks
you’re welcome and thank you for tuning in
Alex, I'm 6'6, and I have an early extension problem. I get in the slot, get good rotation but it still pops up! Would shortening my backswing help with that? Thanks for the tip if you have time to give me one! Keep up the great work!
Another great video Alex, although I have a problem with my 3 & 5 woods, off the tee I hit them straight but off the ground I’m slicing them, I have tried different stances & still goes to the right, any suggestions please ?
great video
Took this to the course today. Woop 2nd best score ever . 13 handicap went round in 5 over gross . Your a legend. Thanks
you’re welcome!
My lesson with you at Mottram Hall really highlighted how far my alignment was out!
Another very helpful, easily understood video.
Your 7 iron goes further than my 5 wood.
Any advice to help older golfers. I am 79 years old & play friendly games usually to a handicap of around 20.
I enjoyed your lesson helping your dad with his bunker shots.
Renewed thanks for all your valuable tips.
Hi Alan! So happy to hear this is helpful. Have you played this weekend?
Thx from michigan!
First, for 150 yds, I'd generally grab an 8... that said, I was told by a teacher long ago that my feet line should always point at a spot 5-10 yards to the left of target (I'm play right-handed) so that with driver, the angle is small and with wedges it's wider. While you seemed to do that with the wedge, the middle iron was straight, which is different, and the driver straight with a tweak to your shoulders. What you suggest might be just the ticket to improve my accuracy because (when I don't slice) I tend to miss a bit left with longer clubs, which makes sense if I shouldn't really be aiming that way to begin with! So simple! I've been thinking that my misses are just my swing when it could be my set up and aim.
Hey Alex I have been using the close shoulders for the driver / 3wood for sometime and with trial and error have had a lot of success with it finally glad to see a video that promotes this. I was interested in the chipping stance so I tired it and big improvement close to the green. Well done on your work. Any videos like this for hybrids/ 5woods. Thanks.
Hi, good points here and glad you are working on this with success. I have a drill on hybrid here : ua-cam.com/video/N3ybTZqTnXU/v-deo.html i use this with my clients, give it a go and let me know how you get on
Thanks Alex I'm looking forward to trying the new drills. I've just come back to golf after 11years away. I used to play off 14 . Thanks for all the tips
Playing for fun is the goal
Thank you Michael how are you getting on coming back to golf
@@AlexElliottGolf to be honest it's harder than I thought! I've been using your tips over the last few weeks with irons and of course the driver but no consistency yet. But I will get there 😎
Cheers again AE 👊🏻 thanks to your chip video all three types are now better for me, my 25/75 vastly improved.
Going to give this a bash too, the 'feeling' on the drive is an interesting one, it might help me relax over the ball too 👍🏻
Thanks mark!
This is amazing to here - do you like the hybrid to chip with
@@AlexElliottGolf struggled getting the distance right but that will come, I like it, felt so weird holding the shaft at first 😂
Hi, on the 60 yard wedge shot is the leading edge of the club square to ball/target line or is it a little open (pointing slightly right of the target to expose the bounce)?
The 150 shot I would use a 6 iron. One more than I need and swing easier. I live in Houston,Texas and it's always windy here. Thanks🍎
You gain a subscriber I'm a beginner. This is helpful
Awesome, thank you!
My problem is getting height on the ball from 150, particularly for the infamous Taft hole here (about 60 ft elevation from 150 to pin with a massive bunker from bottom to top). 6 iron down doesn't cover the distance. Hybrid will get it past green in a line drive.
Awesome Alex, alignment is key. 👍😎🇦🇺
Thank you Marcus
Fantastic!
Hope this helps
Hogan knew this, thanks for the modern video update
Alex. New to your channel. Can you walk through uphill/downhill ball position and weight distribution in each case? Also ball above and below your feet. Thank you
Yes Al! Welcome what a great idea. Keep your eyes on the channel 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Any drills for hitting driver, I hit my driver like I hit my Irons and don't know how to fix it, people say I need to sweep more, but its easier said than done 😂, great videos Man
Hi wian this will help ua-cam.com/video/EfGuDQ9m1W8/v-deo.html
Liked the video. Maybe a dumb question, but why do open stance with wedge, and square stance with the 7i? Thank you.
thats is correct and great question
Thanks for the tips Alex. Would you be able to explain why I keep hitting the ground behind the ball on my driver swing follow through? I am loosing major distance and accuracy by constantly swiping the ground behind the ball as I come through
I will screenshot this for sure - would it be possible for you to send me a video of your swing to alex@alexelliottgolf.co.uk and reference this comment
Great video. Thanks can you help me in these dry conditions there is not much grass under the ball on fairways and in makes me struggle hitting irons
Hi Andrew let me know how you get on with this
I use that technique with a “one-piece” Hogan style hips-shoulders-hands together takeaway. Since you want 45° difference between hip angle and shoulders at the top and on the way down to the ball its why not start that way? Setting the feet open then turning shoulders back parallel pre-loads the back leg with torque which makes triggering and accelerating the hips open in the downswing much easier.
The concept is called “swinging into resistance” and was suggested as far back as 1933 by British teaching pro Abe Mitchel in his book “Down To Scratch” and incorporated by Hogan into his swing.
That style of swing fell out of vogue in the early 1970s due to the influence of Jack Nicklaus and his hands and shoulder moving first, keep everything relaxed, very athletically coordinated swing style and by the 1990s golfers where being taught to turn shoulders against the resistance of unmoving hip in the backswing.
I learned to play in the 1980s using the Nicklaus swing and Golf My Way as my model, but lacking Jack’s superior athleticism and opportunity to practice I struggled - too many moving parts to coordinate. After retiring in 2008 I retooled my swing in the style of Hogan which is more mechanically simpler and much easier for a recreational golfer with limited practice opportunities to master so I’ve very happy to see it being taught again and used by more and more pros on the tour. It’s much easier on the back in the long term.
Gonna try this at the range tomorrow Alex.
Hi Steve!! Great to hear. Let me know how you get on!
Thanks Alex. I really like standing a little open with the shorter shots. Not sure why it helps though... But my big problem is early extension, any favourite tips to help with that?
It helps you turn this hips more instead of standing up! I do this from 100 Yards and in! All the time
Great video again!
My problem = driver shot, I have a hard time getting good spin loft (my normal shot is low launch and low spin) how to fix this? Is it a question of releasing the club earlier? Thanks in advance!
yes release club earlier for sure
Hi Alex -why use a wedge from 60 yards, when one can chip and run with a 6/7 iron as there are no obstacles in the path!
Hi Alex, it’s my first time commenting. What is the reason for the different feet and shoulder angle with the 54 degree wedge?
Hi - i will address this in a video paul, thanks for subscribing!
Fellow subscribers, why does Alex not use a bag with a stand? Been a sub for awhile, but never seen a vid explaining why. Thank you
Hi! Haha i just find it so much easier, i hate carrying a heavy bag. I caddied on tour for a few years and got sick of it. This bag is a lot easier for me to carry and puts less strain on my body
150 is a good 8 for me. Hot days and here lately it’s a 9.
I'm too inconsistent to pick one club from 150. I know a well-struck 9 iron will get me within 5 yards, but that quality of contact is elusive.
I hit a 9 iron from 150!
so Alex having shoulders straight to target but feet angled at 20 degrees as per your first demonstration is only for wedge irons not 3-9 irons which you have your shoulders and feet aligned the same towards target ? Great vids
Sorry darren i’m not sure on the question?
@@AlexElliottGolf just wanted to know if I am hitting a 3-9 iron do I place my feet in the position that you demonstrated in your first example in the video using a wedge which was shoulders aligned to tar gate but feet at an angle of 20 degree , many thanks
23 degree hybrid from 150
Hi Marce how do you find this drill!!?
I just wish my shot shape would be consistent at least the same miss off the tee. Can hit a perfect fade at about 280 most of the time. But when I miss I can’t buy a shot. I’ll miss to the left to the right
My Brother in law/ golf partner has to fix me from time to time, I'm always feeling I'm aiming too far left when actually aiming to the right.
I'm a Yank and need some direction. Where is this course? I am making a list for the next time that I get to "Jolly ole England."
Mottram hall !
I continue to slice wether it’s driver or irons ....😩😩😩 no idea what to do to change it ... please help .. it’s soooo disheartening playing and coming last all the time
hello Sol, keep your eyes on the channel one come this week for you
9, or smoth 8.
I would hit a 9 or 8 iron
150 yds, flat no wind is probably a 6 iron for me.
I thought alignment was always straight for irons as well?
It sure is but having a ball to target line and feet line is key!
@@AlexElliottGolf so Alex having shoulders straight to target but feet angled at 20 degrees as per your first demonstration is only for wedge irons not 3-9 irons which you have your shoulders and feet aligned the same towards target ? Great vids
8i fo for me from 150 out and adjust from there based on the lie
Nice! Same as mean where do you play your golf??
Well done alex I had a good practice yesterday working on my pitch shots 👍 🏌♂️🙂
Thank you Roy!! Let me know how you get on with this
When striking the ball with Irons where should I be looking top,back or front of ball
