I Dropped 8 Shots and Moved Back a Set of Tees Because of this 5 Minute Golf Lesson

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*I know you will move a set of tees back to FOLLOWING the same method*

[@georgesealy4706]

Went to the range today. The first two tips work great with the swing I have. The 'tee hack' really helps; I was hitting the ball like crazy. Another huge benefit is that it helps get the club back in the same place consistently. I am now very tuned into how I am taking the club back. I can check it during the swing rather than needing a video camera or a friend. I also tried it with my irons. The result was a clean ball strike time after time with a nice, high ball flight. I must have had a swing fault on the backswing because I am hitting the ball so much better. Thanks.

[@ianloh2647]

This, right here! Just got back from the range too. Consistency skyrocketed when i paid attention to pinky grip and belly button. So proud i think i'll treat myself to some AE merch.

[@mikeconner3280]

Alex, you are a blessing and a credit to this fine game. Thank you!!!!

[@StevenSmith-dm7vu]

Another well explained lesson Alex and love your enthusiasm for the game . One of the best golf coaching tips on KZbin.keep up the good work ⛳

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Very kind thank you

[@jordan_bondurant]

That last bit with keeping your dominant arm close to your body reminds me of the motion with your hands pulling the string to start a push lawnmower.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes!!! This is a great idea!!!

[@mzeelisto]

Greetings from Kenya, Nairobi....this video is a game changer for me...simple, short and precise!👍🏾...too many videos on the net are too technical and confusing.....many thanks and keep it up👏🏾👏🏾👍🏾.....will share with other golfing friends!

you really are the best teacher mate

[@daroseohana114]

Thanks!

Thank you so much!!!

[@monortues]

I love the tip of pointing the club handle end at you body while starting back swing.

[@proudamerican7662]

Great job, coach. Your lessons are much appreciated

[@gcchasee1637]

I will definitely remember the tee in club handle. Nice simple explanation I'll get back to this sight let ya know it worked thanks

[@iansinclair889]

I'll be giving this a go tomorrow, thanks Alex

[@chillin-in-chi-town]

Alex, can you comment on the 2nd half of the back swing when you have you focus on your back pointed at target? I assume the key swing thought is to rotate at your hips to turn your back and pull up your right shoulder vs consciously pulling your right shoulder up? Thanks.

[@redghost3170]

Played 18 today. Hit the driver well, but sucked with the PW. Usually I have that reversed. Ugg, golf is so difficult. Think I’ll take up rocket science.

[@Pwrcritter]

Rare is the day we do both well, lol.

[@SL0409]

Difficult is an understatement! Just recently got into golf with a friend. Picked up a golf club for the 1st time 3 weeks ago, went to the driving range twice and wasn't good at all. Went to my local course yesterday which is just a 9 hole par 3 beginner course. Absolute shambles and shot 68 (+41) Blew my mind how far the ball goes when you barely hit it. I was taking shots 10-20 yards off the green and ending up 40-50 yards past the other side Didnt really know what club I was meant to be using either. Yeah, rocket science sounds like a plan 😂

[@nickhennick]

TY, driver has been such a inconsistent club for me for the last year. I still shoot 81/85 however I have bo distance and am ready for a overhaul for my driver swing. Or at least some new training. Will give this a try!! Thanks and much luv from Bandon Dunes/Bandon OR!! ⛳️⛳️⛳️

Thanks. for some reason I understand this. I gotta check out the lesson

Always enjoy the tips man!

You got some fire tips I like these alot

Great simple explanation Alex 👍.

[@MuxLux24U]

Outstanding Alex!!!

[@kevinkurtz9889]

He makes it sound so easy. I golf first time when I was 65. Trying to work through injuries to my left hand and find a grip that works. Cannot wrap my little finger around the club. It is difficult at best.

[@marcelosong3928]

Explained very simply. A master! 👏👏👏

[@berylwright3301]

clear advice, thanks

[@ronj9460]

Brilliantly simple! Thx

[@GaryWinslow-r6x]

Alex love your videos, but an imagine came to mind when you where discuss the backswing. It reminded me of someone trying to pull start a lawnmower. That is the exact motion and something that will stick with me. Your thoughts?

[@toniesmothmusic]

Excellent Alex!

[@chrisdolt7300]

Ale , could you give your opinion on where the tee in the grip is pointed from the top of the swing to contact?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi Chris great question! On the downswing last parallel I would have it to just right of target!

[@chrisdolt7300]

@@AlexElliottGolf do you ever have it pointed at the ball as your coming dow through the swing plane? Outside the ball? Inside the ball? Thanks for the answer.

[@timgilbert9299]

What a Excellent tip thank mate

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Happy to help

[@garethjones2060]

This tip really helped with driver. My question is does this work for irons and hybrids etc?

Nice video going to try it out

[@vgwizardx]

Alex tips are one of the only youtubers tips that work for me. The hitting the driver into a ball box and now this to help with turning the hips can't wait to try it.

[@rogb3199]

I did turning the hips more yesterday as I was planning to play today. Result is I strained my hip and no golf today 😢😂

[@AlexElliottGolf]

so good to hear!

[@brentkraft6310]

So cool. Thanks a bunch.

[@s18169ex3]

SOS. I just got some new golf clubs, Callaway, graphite, shaft rogue st. My five iron straight through to my nine iron. I keep on hooking it to the left. Can you help me in redirecting my swing? I had other clothes prior to this and was having a lot more straight shots than what I’m getting now.

[@mikereed3287]

I have noticed that many of the tour pros are using thin putter grips instead of the fat ones popular in past years. Would you discuss the advantages and disadvantages of thin versus fat putter grips? Thanks!!

[@perrydufresne7142]

Fat grips have less feel and are usually gripped in the palms with opposing hands which alters the stance of putting position. Generally the thinner grips have more of a feel and sit more in the fingers. They said the creator of superstroke and fat grip users was because they was all rubbish at putting 😂

[@ristoaksila5677]

Hello Alex. I just can't stop mentioning the down, out, and up move in the back swing. In iron play what do you think about having the club head very, very close to the ball and thinking only about the angle of attack away from the ball. Then coming down thinking only about the angle of attack into and past the ball? Being very close to the ball helps a lot in eliminating a fat shot. What do you think? Could you have a video on this topic? I believe the viewers would love and benefit from a video about this.

[@alanmcvittie9413]

I have an early tee time tomorrow morning, with no one teeing off near my time. I will try this 2 or 3 times on each drive. Cheers.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great to hear. Let me know how you get on Alan!!

[@alanmcvittie9413]

@AlexElliottGolf with the gripping of the driver, I had no issue as I already grip it that way. For the first 4 holes, I used the tee as a guide on practice drives. With a steadier pace in the swing, I noticed straighter drives. After that, single drives when teeing off and for the next ten holes played some of the best golf I've ever done. In the last four holes, I ran out of steam lol, rain, wind, and uphill. My average drive was longer, leaving me shorter irons into the greens. And close to my best to round. Calmer tomorrow, back out to try again.

[@TheGeohart]

i am having an issue with deep rough, what is the most effective method to chip out of the deep rough without sailing over the green, or slinding under the ball, and getting a nice short flop shot, that does reach the damned green?

[@garystride5200]

Nice video, I'm fine with my driver but as soon as I try to ramp it up, slice comes in big time, so I don't ramp it up and stay in play, can't only be me

[@josephh.8075]

I drained the gas out of my push mower and tried pull starting it for a few hours. I think I have the feel now, but I threw my back out. Looking forward to golf next season.

[@Vikes99]

Thanks Alex

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hope it helps

[@lewisgl]

Is there a danger one can get the right arm too deep in the backswing by pulling the right shoulder back?

[@stueyleach7121]

Here’s one for you Alex. I’m a high handicapper first foremost so my technique can be very inconsistent but lately, especially with irons, iv started hitting left. Not hooking. Straight left. Why? What am I doing wrong?

[@steeloned]

You might be having alignment issues and/or too strong of a grip which is angling the clubface to a more closed position. Your outside in swing is thus directing the ball left after contact.

[@monortues]

I had a similar problem. My issue is that my trail shoulder turned too fast.

[@Da.Onus.Burger.618]

As far as my lower body is concerned when I’m starting my turn my thought has always been: “If I push into the ground, the ground will push back.” That lets me concentrate on the upper body movement better somehow.

[@Sanholomc]

You think too much just swing the club head let your body react to the swing naturally

[@kenbrown2808]

that motion on the third tip is like starting a lawnmower.

[@NFiltr8Red]

A good Caddie or great course management will drop any mediocre players shots by 8-10 shots. I personally went and played without my driver and still had birdie shots, granted 2 putts were my killer but this game is rather easy if you simply things.

[@bradleycrawford9837]

I imagine the grip is attached to a mower pull cord. You can't pull the cord with power if you're too low.

[@scottt1904]

Awesome tip. I have a question I’m 6’4 and never been fitted. But I do top irons sometimes. Not sure if longer clubs would help or maybe just my coming up out of shot. Thx for the video. Helps so much

[@weilandalt]

Definitely get fitted man. Makes a difference for sure

[@jeffjob6995]

Alex... love your videos but... the tee pointing at the stomach/chest sounds like a good tip, but YOU aren't doing it. When you go to the 3:59 mark of your video where you demonstrate, that tee quickly points away from you and up the fairway. What's the deal?

[@dermotmcculloch5481]

looks like starting a chainsaw 😂

[@whosbehindthedoor8788]

[@leeshaw3733]

Very simple and makes perfect sense but it doesn't work for me in fact I've found nothing over the last 20 years that stops me making that first bad move as demonstrated by Alex.
