99% OF GOLFERS GET THE BACKSWING WRONG! This Drill Will FIX IT!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*Get your short irons dialled in! These are the scoring clubs which lower our handicaps 🙌🏼*

[@fat-shotgolf2937]

Scoring irons are key to a good round. Great video. Thanks for covering my question much appreciated. Will be heading to the thick rough this week to practice. Not that I want to end up in there, but be prepared!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I hope the thick rough tip helps you

[@charlesbenjamin4407]

Thanks for this! Gotta keep reminding myself to stop going all out with irons.

[@sevesellors2831]

Great lesson thank you!

[@MPerski]

That’s it! ☝🏻 I’m one of the 99% I was thinking about what questions I have (that you asked your “viewers” in the intro) THIS is it! My IRONS! 🏌️‍♂️ Weakest clubs in my bag. 😞 I was just thinking I rarely feel that shot “down in my loins” (as Roy McAvoy says in “Tip Cup”) I used to, but I rarely PURE it, like I have, but rarely do anymore. That first swing (lots of effort, trying to “bash” it and “muscle it” out there, falling back) is so me. 🙄 I’m going to try this, try to hit a “scoring” shot, hit a “control shot”, and swing shoulder-to-shoulder with my irons. I need to hit more greens! Great video; one of your best! 👍🏻

[@AlexElliottGolf]

really good to hear your thoughts on this !

[@billwallenstein3387]

Great lesson. Alex I play on Bermuda, so in the thick rough I club up. Cheers

[@AlexElliottGolf]

thank you!

[@paulchantry7989]

Brilliant as always 👌

Thank you Paul I hope is helps

Hi, I love your content. I am roughly a 17-22 handicap and I am having trouble hitting my longer irons (4&5). I find that I am much more comfortable with my shorter irons (9-6) because, for some reason, I feel more comfortable at the setup. Oh, a little unknown fact: I had two left side hip replacements within 12 years, 50 years old. Thanks a lot and I’ll keep watching. Isaac Dean/ Haddon Twp NJ

Hi Alex, Rob Blakemore new subscriber. Great tips with scoring irons. I took the tips onto the course and knocked four shots off my round. Cheers mate.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi rob! thank you for subscribing appreciate it

Thank you

[@FW-od1lt]

Alex great video! I have somehow gotten my clubs way past parallel in the last year or so. Very frustrating. I have gone from a single digit to about 16. I am walking up to the greens now with 3 clubs so often. My putter and usually 2 wedges. Would love your advice on how to stop going past parallel. Any drills would be welcome.

[@waynetrinier4654]

Good point Alex. I think 💭 a lot of people need to play the longer clubs in the same more controlled way.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes this is another great point we should of added on!!

[@gguygolf9808]

I was wondering if you had any home drills that you can do without a club, that would help build muscle memory for weight shift and swing rotation. Loving the videos.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi! yeah if you head to the fitness section (playlist) on my channel there are loads of drills without clubs etc!

[@royclose946]

Well done alex 👏 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thanks Roy!!!

[@grantalexander9338]

Fantastic video oce again I'm quite new to golf and am struggling to putt finding it hard to read the greens I'm losing shots on the green sometimes it's a 4 put any help would be good so I can get under 100 currently 105 110 a round

[@johnmillice8820]

RH 0 blade golfer- would love to know how you fade with your irons. I like to work the ball both ways. What is your thoughts?

[@timneese4142]

Alright I have a really good short game, I don’t find myself in the bunker that often. Now, i typically play for release from the bunker but looking for a bit more bite. Any help from grips to swing speed would be great!! Thanks alex

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great one this tim!! We have a bunker time coming this week already but this a good one ☝🏼

[@tomjames8424]

Thanks for that I have a tendency to swing to hard and like you said I lose control and pull hook .Its a pain in the butt I have previously hit a200 yard drive only to pull hook the next shot .Kind of makes me want to take up checkers. Its 30 degrees here in Atlanta Georgia how about you.Thanks again.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi Tom! How much golf are you getting in right now??

[@tomjames8424]

@@AlexElliottGolf I am getting 1 time a week 0 last week because of the rain

[@onesipwonder]

I just tried it with the 6 iron, since that’s what I have problem to hit with. It makes everything a lot easier lol. When I tried with driver though, doesn’t go far. I guess with driver I still need to create bigger circle

[@brianmcpeake2509]

Thanks Alex. I struggle hitting irons (tee shots) on par 3's. My miss is always left. I don't have this issue as much from the fairway. Any tips on what I might be doing wrong?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You could be fatting shots ! I think this is the best tip i have done for this so i would give this a watch kzbin.info/www/bejne/h3WTfoighrx8ptU

[@mixsk8er]

I’ve seen several tips for general sloped lies, but any tips on extremely sloped lies? There is a fairway at my home course with major tilt and always struggle on those shots. The amount of tilt is where ball is around knee to mid thigh height.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great question are we thinking above and below your feet???

[@mixsk8er]

@@AlexElliottGolf when the ball is significantly above the feet.

[@ronrussell1693]

Halo again Alex Ron again did you have any thoughts on my purchase of a forward press club 😀

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Have you got these yet)

[@mikerodrick2430]

Hi Alex; this is a little off the subject, but when instructors say that the feet should be shoulder width apart, are you talking about the outside of your feet or inside of your feet? Wouldn't that make a difference in ball position? Thanks.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

outside! this will give you the correct distance

[@xanderj822]

Do you lift with your woods? I have a big overswing with driver. I think because it’s longer I find it more difficult to control

[@AlexElliottGolf]

yeah

[@smithy5356]

Another great vid Alex. I’ve started hitting every club about 100 yards. I know I’m over thinking every shot with mechanics, but I don’t know what I’m doing wrong. Please help!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

It could be that you have far too many swing thoughts by the sounds of it. Let’s try and address one problem at a time

[@paulholt8311]

Hi Alex I have a Wilson light 3 wood and when I hit it nicely I get 170yards and wandering if there is something I could be doing to get maybe 200yards from it

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hmm… do you know where you are struggling with? Seems like you aren’t crushing it as much as you could. What handicap are you? And thanks for watching the video

[@paulholt8311]

@@AlexElliottGolf Hi Alex I have a handicap of 27 aged 67, if I put more effort in swing I end up topping ball or hitting it fat

[@andybell6993]

That shot on 2.32 it basically a clone of my short iron shots Friday 😂

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahaha make sure you give this a go then

[@harrywright5133]

🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@mikereed3287]

When I watch the professionals, they seem to have very narrow stances with the driver. Why are we told to be "shoulder width" wide when the professionals are not? Is this just personal preference?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi Mike I would say so yes 🙌🏼
