Alex as someone who has watch countless videos of yours (and a number of YT golf channels) about how hit the driver straight or straighter, to date literally none of training and fixes have worked and this one probably won't either, your training is both entertaining and informative, but for some us it's not solving the problems. Get a player who is struggling on with you and have them hit the ball, we know you can hit on command whatever shot you describe

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you… will definitely address this for sure 🙌🏼

This ⬆️for sure! For me , being cheap/ poor /frugal or however its framed …im determined to get the swing(or ball flight ) back i had in the 90’s to early 2000’s without seeing a teacher who may or may not work or click with me .. i know my swing is shit especially at the moment but i cant completely build a whole new swing and dont feel i should have to since i use to play to bogey’ish golf with little to no practice and playing 1 to 2x’s a week in season .. now i practice 1-2x’s a week and play once a week typically during season and struggle worse than ever …my long winded point is,if i see you correcting another persons shit swing (slice/push with an occasional good or left shot) i think itd be possible for me and others to see our issues to some extent ..and then in seeing how this person is fixing their issue(s) i or we would see what we need to do more clearly .. 👍🏼✌️

Hi there - I'm a 11.7 H/Index - 59 yrs old - 7 iron distance 165 yds - but I play often semi retired - I also am fortunate enough to play with low handicap players fairly regularly - Golf is a very hard game!! Alex is doing an admirable job of communicating concepts which are universally accepted as sound principles / fundamentals of golf swing theory - there are no "fringe theories" here as far as can see. Having said all of that your progress in this game will probably come down to * Your ability to devote time practicing these lessons* Your athletic ability - ie strength/flexibility/speed/coordination* If you aren't making progress from KZbin then start taking videos of your swing from different angles and ask yourself if what you see resembles what your imagination registers your actual swing to look like. Last resort is actual golf lessons - but few of us are prepared to do that. Best of luck to all of us aspiring golfers. Cheers!

Aha! I now realize the reason why I've been hitting my driver so poorly on my last few outings! I have been practicing this very same drill in the past in my backyard hitting net and enjoyed superb results on the course, but I slacked off and haven't practiced it in over a month or more. I was just at a loss as to what I was doing differently and you reminded me! I can loudly say that this drill works and I will be heading to the backyard shortly to do these drills again. I've found that as I got better at striking the ball properly, I can lower the stick to where the clearance is just enough for the club to pass under it - then take that to the course and be smiling for the entire round. Thanks for this!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this, really hope this helped you!

[@SaEAM86]

Great video guys, For me the most important thing I've picked up is keeping your lead shoulder pointing at the ball for as long as you can 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Absolutely so key!!!

[@simonlapierre1656]

Great vid thanks! I'm wondering how to properly feel like i'm keeping my back to target. Practicing this makes me hit way behind the ball. How do I mix this with leading with the hips, or other movements in the swing?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I feel like you may be leaning back by the sounds of it?

[@simonlapierre1656]

@AlexElliottGolf I will check that out, thanks for the reply!

[@cecopeland]

Mic your camera person so we can hear the comments / questions that you're responding to. GREAT material ... love your channel!

[@RyGuy-]

I can hear them just fine.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Noted!Thank you ❤️

[@kcd2630]

Awesome Video Alex.. Do you pull the club from the top... Seen some instructions say pull some say throw from the top

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes pull from the top

[@thomasroughton5345]

Great!! I like the immediate questions to explain the terms ie supernation I!!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

🙌🏼❤️

[@carlrice6380]

Alex I have a random question..... When your above the ball all set for the shot do you hold your breath or breeth in/out on the backswing? Just thinking maybe too much but does your breathing actually affect the swing if it's out of sync with the back and down swing ? 🤔

[@AlexElliottGolf]

no i wouldnt hold my breath no, i think it can affect as you come into the ball

[@bb-fe9ur]

Really excellent video 👏👏 you explained this really well thank you 👍👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

thank you really appreciate it!

[@scottdunstan4117]

This is THE most important drill and information. Thanks, Alex.

[@peterstevenson5368]

At last Alex someone talking about what I've tried to work on. Well done mate 👍

[@peterstevenson5368]

Also I tend to put my wrist into flexion on back swing. Do you think that's ok

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes

[@lawrencesargant1669]

Excellent thanks ⛳️🏌️‍♂️👍

[@tomb4060]

What works for me is the feeling of at the top the club is moving slightly back in my right hand just before I put my weight into my left side and that works great for me with irons and driver.

[@magnacircenses]

Great exercise thank you

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You're so welcome!

[@brianbell1826]

I love this video. But I always struggled understanding the bowed left wrist idea. I’m right handed get better results when I’m more focused on my right hand. I recently found some other videos that focus on backwards bending of the right wrist. I believe it’s basically the same idea but focused on the right wrist. Might help others like me. Thoughts?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Completely get it, i do like that concept

[@paulo1677]

I am the same. I have found that if I concentrate on getting to the ball with a cupped right wrist I get great contact, more distance etc. etc. ultimately it’s the same result, but I find this much easier that trying to concentrate on a bowed left wrist.

[@davidreid2301]

A driver doesn't have a flat face. The very reason for a wood having a bulge and roll on its face is for gearing effect, which helps with off centre hits. That's why Bryson DeChambeau's 3D printed irons have a curved face as well.

[@ianmurray2573]

Brilliant Alex, thank you.

[@nathe3171]

These videos with your videographer asking questions really help. She's asking the questions that I have when trying to do these drills. Please keep her on.

[@TheGreatburdon]

Get rid of the girl .. asking stuff he has already explained is just plain annoying

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Haha it’s hard to know what’s right or wrong to be honest, not all videos will include her but the feedback has been really good to be honest!

[@shams923]

Hitting 300 yds plus but always a big fade (sometimes slice). Let's see if this video can help us out or not. Fingers crossed 😊

[@mkr7465]

300+ fade sounds perfectly fine and functional... I guarantee that if you change that fantastic fade, you will struggle with speed, face control and strike. Also you will be used to seeing that fade and trusting your new shot shape on course is going to be a challenge. Although you can create power swinging more around and you won´t slice it, the dynamics of that swing and release will be so different that it will cost you in fine control. Also your brain is used to seeing those big fades and will try to create those on course. You will need maybe 1-3 years of training and playing to fully adjust. I would seek a coach that would help you manage YOUR swing, not change it. (That is, if I were you... I myself have never taken a lesson.)

[@floydianepic3259]

Alex. Love the content, but slice can also be caused by shaft lean. Backwards lean will give you fade/ slice. To far forward, will draw/ hook. Maybe do a video o that.😊

[@rontaylor2391]

I know I cup my wrist - I just can’t seem to stop it. If i try to change the wrist during the downswing coming to contact then I am quite likely to pull the shot 45 degrees left! So, big question. If I know I can’t change my wrist through the swing why can’t I (and everyone else except elite players) pre-set the wrist either at set up or at the top of the back swing?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Set up!

[@rontaylor2391]

@@AlexElliottGolfso that would be weakening the grip? Or keep the grip the same and close the club face at set up?

[@berylwright3301]

brilliant 🎉

[@ralphpagan3371]

Wouldn’t a weak grip solve problem of cupping wrist at impact ??

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes that’s also true

Sorry mate, great drill, but I found myself getting irritated with the silly questions from off-camera

[@AlexElliottGolf]

No problem! some people loved it some people hate it haha hard to please everyone, thanks for the support!

[@eddyramirez5305]

Don't like videos with camera person asking questions.

[@dlucks174]

Nobody cares what you like and don't like mate

[@silvermediastudio]

Dude's hype way out paces his brain and mouth. T̶o̶t̶a̶l̶ s̶p̶a̶z̶z̶ Breathless Hypebeast, slow down and think about what you're saying so it makes some damn sense. Listing the benefits such as "you'll hit straighter, it'll reduce your side spin, and significantly reduce that slice" is quite literally saying the same thing three times over.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Spaz? Too far

[@silvermediastudio]

@@AlexElliottGolf Sorry bruv. Edited.

[@josephcoble9681]

Wow! Over 10 minutes to get to the point -geez!

[@jamesguy7133]

no such word as swang, and we dont use dollars.

[@DonnyBerger]

A much easier drill for the release is the HITCHHIKER DRILL. Thumbs up on back swing, then up again on the follow through!!!!!

[@2putts1cup]

If your camera person is going to talk so much you should probably get them a mic…

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Getting miced up!
