DON"T LOOK At The Ball The KEY To GREAT BALL Striking

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*Whos going to take this straight to the course this weekend? I know I am…you have to try this for me!*

[@krazejeff]

I would except it is minus -20 here with wind and 6 inches on snow on the ground....

[@patrickcrisp800]

I am going tomorrow!

[@leonardhandzlik6008]

Next week, for sure. Course is closed this week.

[@holmer9413]

I've been doing it for years. It works. It's also good for shaping shots if you have some control your clubface.

[@andrewmainsbridge4270]

Thank you Alex, great video, as always! I will definitely be trying this. I’m blind in my left eye and have trouble with depth perception and your clear instructions have really helped me improve my ball striking. Can’t wait to try this out with my driver!!

[@markcrowell2727]

A pro told me the iron focus part of this video last year - it works...100% agree with Alex!

[@peterbotha9071]

Thanks Alex, had a pretty good day with these tips, more consistent drives and iron shots than I’ve had in years, 34 Stableford point ( handicap 13) putting let me down and the occasional brain fade. Great, concise and informative instructions, just need to keep triggering myself on each shot, thanks

[@alangoudie2299]

Thank you for excellent, clear, easy to follow advice.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@Johan-yv6rk]

Alex, you are the best teacher. I spend 20-30 minutes with you every day. I work hard on everything you say but please stop saying that everything is easy. That makes me feel stupid. 1:54 😊

[@AlexElliottGolf]

So kind, thank you!!

[@susancrowther9998]

Another great video - will bring these thoughts with me tomorrow. Hope it’s a wee bit warmer than today!

[@GolfsGingerGenius1]

Love it Alex, I believe you done a video on moving the driver back (John Rahm style) which in turn gets your body in a great position. This has help me massively and really appreciate the channel pal 👍🏻

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes I have for Sure I love that move!!!! ❤️

[@kenbrown2808]

last year was the year of driver improvement. by the end of the season, my goal was, in my practice swing, to ruffle the grass about 8 inches behind the ball position. this year, I'm going to be working on consistency with my irons. this goes hand in hand with moving the ball position forward in the stance for longer irons. and yes, I'm one of those who will pull the 3 out of the bag when I'm feeling good.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love that you have goals ken!!

[@paulhalewood8226]

I use a form of this at the range. I just use ordinary blackboard chalk to mark the mat then try and get the chalk to disappear.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Nice work Paul!

[@frikkiebezuidenhout9308]

Thanks again for the tip Alex, I struggle with this a lot....

[@rohan_coyi]

Definitely going to try this next time I can! Thanks so much mate!

[@bone2351]

Great drill, and for me, it will definitely help me work on my irons

[@BatM4538]

Alex. Can you use similar philosophy with hybrids and 3 Wood. How would you apply. Thanks for any help!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

i would certainly give it a go

[@ronaldbobeck7377]

Alex, can you do this same video for Hybrids & Woods

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I would certainly try but I will try and cover this in another video

[@johnnybailey4091]

Alex you have helped me tons. Im still a work in progress but I fill its getting better

[@AlexElliottGolf]

brilliant so happy to help!

[@daveinglis6235]

Brilliant teacher, Alex 👌👌

[@markrussell9088]

Love your work Alex

[@PostColorGear]

Couldn't agree more. Some of the best shots I've taken are where I trusted my rotation and didn't look at the ball.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes yes yes love it

[@aladdinmohamedlip7000]

Alex, it would be helpful if you can show us the adjustments needed for fairway woods, and wedges.

[@rogermcard4442]

Good morning Alex will try that today with driver and irons 👍

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hope you enjoy good morning to you

[@Tech-xr2ms]

I've learned in my short time with golf, to look at the low points instead of the ball itself. My main problem is with the driver. When I tilt my spine I tend to hit the ground instead. Thanks for all your videos and tips!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thanks for sharing I’m happy they are helping you 🙏🏼

[@Asftfs]

Very clever Alex!! Can’t wait to try this out!!! 😊

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hope you like it!

[@mickeyhansen3402]

This may help my issue of swinging through well without the ball and then swinging at the ball when it is present

[@gregoryosen9423]

Great info, but how about a fiarway wood or a hybrid? Where would you focus for these clubs?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I will for sure cover this in another video! 🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@mjkinsella4700]

Great watch. Really invested in this content. Can you demonstrate a easy drill to practice shifting weight onto my lead side for an iron shot. I find it hard to keep my balance . Thanks

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you and yeah for sure i will try and cover this question on and up and coming video

[@rickchaborek1900]

Another great video Mr. Alex where can we get the great top u wearing

In Finland we have outdoors season about mid april to mid october: the simulator season is five months from november to march. But I can use my simulator slot also in april until the outdoors golf course opens 😊 at least in my Golf Club ❤ My slot is saturdays 3pm-6pm, Perfect time for me 👍 that 5 months simulator costs 1000€, so it'll be about 45€/time (because of those extra April sessions) I started using this simulator last year, and it helped me a lot. But this year has been much better (simulator), because I have started to practice and concentrate more than last year 😊 Your instructions help a lot too 😊

[@OriginalLuffe]

Also our own Pro has helped me to fine tune my swing 👍

[@paulevans3105]

Love this tip!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@claytonlanphere5790]

Hey Alex I’m a bit confused, I struggle with topping the ball and slicing it with my longer clubs, in one of your previous videos you say you focus behind the ball and that it works for irons and drivers, but in this one you are having the focus shift in front of the ball, behind the ball focus has been helping me with less topping but I’m still getting a slice out of my hybrids and drivers, can you clarify for me?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes i will try and cover this in another video, great question! Oh and thanks for tuning into the videos I appreciate it 🙌🏼

[@ruggerboy600]

Hi Alex great tips again, how about a 3 wood please 🙏

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great suggestion! I have something coming for you!!!

[@jeremyfoote8638]

Wish I could..in winters icey grip right now

[@AnalysisParalysis575]

I did this today and had my 7 iron launching at around 18 degrees and gained around 20 yards instead of launching mid 20s. So simple

[@billyc8121]

I learned to look behind the ball last season with my driver but never considered looking ahead with irons. I guess the fear of missing the ball entirely is there but Im going to give it a go tomorrow. Thanks Alex!

[@stevenelton7186]

Alex. If teeing off with 3 wood, then focus my be half as less as driver?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Exactly I would focus on the middle of the golf ball!

[@stevenelton7186]

Thanks Alex. Haven't got a driver yet. Looking at Taylormade M6 or Ping G425. Any suggestions?

[@royclose946]

Well done alex 🏌‍♂️ 😊

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Roy!

[@dejohnny21]

Love this tip!!! Would you focus a half club head in front for hybrids and woods?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah you certainly could do

[@berylwright3301]

Your videos are so good to folliw

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad you think so!

[@jjflash1645]

With snow on Friday and a high of about 20 degrees on Saturday I don’t think I’ll be on any course this weekend.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Wow! where are you from to get that much snow?

[@jjflash1645]

[@williambernett2539]

I find this easy to do with my irons during practice, but I’m scared to death to try it on the course!!

[@chrispayne1572]

It just makes sense… so simple… let’s give it ago…

[@paulinelock592]

I find my irons difficult to hit, so always look at the ground just ahead of the ball to try to get the downward strike. Thanks Alex once again for the great visual tip and help.

[@alburnett1775]

Alex I though you where a Cobra guy or have you switched to Ping driver.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I’m now now longer with cobra and can use any club as i’m part of scottsdale golf who are a retailer 🙌🏼🙌🏼 Absolutely loving the ping

sorry to say but. it is such annoying as the title of the video is dont look the ball and you talk about angle of attack??? Dont understand why ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I focus on not looking at the ball within the angle of attack I

[@bobd7038]

That's bullshit Alex . One must look at the ball throughout the swing!
