LEARN HOW TO STAY DOWN THROUGH IMPACT! STOP standing up!!

[@BillyDee159]

I had 3 lessons more than 30 years ago with Rick Smith, before he became well known. He gave me his handwritten notes on what he wanted me to do. The main thing/change was what Alex is talking about here. This concept completely changed my game. Rick kept using the analogy of “skipping a stone on water” That move ensures that you stay down and through the shot. It also creates a move that brings your head/right ear down and rotates right to left behind the ball and extends your arms out and up. Rick kept showing pics of top players making this move and ALWAYS finishing on the outside edge of the right foot (like Hogan, Sevy, Nickalas, Trevino, Morikawa, etc, etc.) This lesson from Alex is pure gold……just skip the stone I’ve been doing it for 30 plus years, I’m 80 and I shot 76 today.

Thank you so much.

[@aviatoraw]

This video and the “window drill” changed my golf season. So much more power staying in posture. You are a gifted instructor, thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Wow!!!!!! YAH!!!! this is amazing thank you. I would appreciate it if you could share the videos. Thank you 🙏

[@signedupfordoconly4275]

Yes what is the window drill?

[@aviatoraw]

@@signedupfordoconly4275 It is from one of his videos about staying in posture. He has a few of them. Go through those lessons and I’m sure you will find it.

[@leesmith5759]

I've literally been working on this on the range tonight!! I always try and see where the ball has gone before I hit it 🤦🏻‍♂️ also I think that's why I'm fading/slicing the ball because I'm coming out the shot to early......🤔

[@roberthubbard5696]

That alignment stick movement is really clear and hard to do wrong. Best single thing I have found to get the rotation timing by far. Many tell the same thing but this makes me feel it without effort! The 100 yd drive is a great second step too. Thanks very much. The missing puzzle piece for me.

[@Kenweng04]

Been working on this and I think people will find it much easier to hit balls more consistently and compress the ball. Which inevitably leads to more distance, spin to hold greens, and a lower score. Good tips!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi Tom! Thank you - follow this process and let me know how you get on! See you tomorrow at the same time

[@davidosband862]

I came back and watched your lesson twice more. Thanks very much.

[@istra59]

Such a great video and tip with the alignment stick! Thank you for! Will work this today.

[@benicurtis4807]

This problem occurs for me now and again when I try and rip it over that bunker that’s 290 I can get there but it just goes high right instead 😂 nice 1 Alex keep it up where do you do lessons

[@gregjames2803]

This is just what I needed Alex, great drill!

[@georgiamay4045]

I just did a handful of the first part move, hand down the end, with the other side crooked in my bent elbow. Might have to make that my practice swing for a bit with my driver! That really keeps the butt back and the shoulders rotating!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hi Georgie great to hear your follow along and trying out the videos

[@alexdemner9526]

Best lesson yet Thanks

100000 great job. Takes nice guy and great content

[@richardboess8050]

Great video. Did the drill with the alignment stick as I watched. Imparts a real feeling of staying down. Driving range is next!

[@davidosband862]

Brilliant! Thank you.

[@tonykowalczyk1562]

Done this at the range today, 100 balls worked through all clubs 🤯 was so good solid and pure strikes just need to be able to do it on course now theres the challenge 🙏🤪

[@kenkohl2181]

The alignment stick rotation drill is perfect for me. The concept of “stage 2 and through “ will help me complete swing in proper posture. Well done.

[@sap1374]

Recently purchased alignment sticks. I'm sure this will help me too as I know I stand up sometimes. Great vid alex👏

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hello Shane great to hear your like the video. Are you watching the open this week?

[@GolfTechie79]

Another great drill Alex mate, staying down through the shot is so crucial to consistent ball striking, lateral side bend with rotation.

[@haroldsingh7713]

Awesome video Alex… well done Sir!

Really good stuff! Thanks

Great Advice

[@HaltnHustle]

So helpful brother 👌🏼

[@golfessor2678]

Another great video with excellent analogies. Standing up/ early extension also causes fat shots, correct? If so, if someone can comment, what else is a main contributor to fat shots?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hello! Great to hear you love the videos - fat shots could also be caused by not enough rotation and early release of the club Alex

[@golfessor2678]

@@AlexElliottGolf Thank you so much Alex. I had the early release (casting) in my cross hairs along with early extension and hanging back. I never thought about rotation, but it makes sense. I am a student of the game and do not get out that much anymore, but I will never stop trying even at 62. I guess the old adage holds true : you have to lose control to gain control.

Great video....

[@4golfing]

Great comments but my big bugaboo is hitting the 3wood off hardpan/dry fairways. most lessons are on the driver but I need more fairway help. thx

[@jyonline22]

I have the same issue when hitting fairway woods, and end up topping the ball.

[@kexith]

This is what I plan to focus on for my next lesson, I've tried it a little myself but not making good contact at all.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

You can do it!

[@franciscoborja1035]

great drill. I have being standing up for more than 30 years !!

[@michaelshaunessy7164]

My trouble is hitting my irons. I keep standing up on my down swing. I think this drill will help me.

[@waynepark4430]

Will have to work on staying down. The more I think about it, I am sure that I am standing up.

[@macwallys1552]

Alex I envy your ability to do these fantastic athletic moves but I am 71 can’t do it anymore. Can you help with some suggestions. Thanks.

Hi Alex, do you have any chipping help off crabgrass? Driving me nut's along with hitting off hardpan? Stubbing my club in crabgrass, even when I'm using the bounce.

@@AlexElliottGolf not sure how much of a difference this detail made but I just shot 81 this afternoon, my lowest score ever! Staying down through impact definitely resulted in more very solid contacts so I’m well pleased with that! Cheers man!

Love your videos!! #win

[@Egonomical]

Alex you are a scary man, I went to the driving range last night and this was exactly the problem I was having, ending up with a lot of topped shots, then today here you are with the fix I need. Going to work on this on the range until it is drilled into my swing! Thank you my friend, keep up these great videos 🏌️🏌️

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Hahahaha I just be a mind reader neil’ 😂😂😂 I’m glad I can really help you improve your golf 🙌🏼

[@grandpagolf]

You are super flexible, not me by no means. At 66 I feel it hard to rotate forward like you do, unfortunately... I understand any top amateur or pro golf payer is able to do it. Even Darren 😅. But what if you are too old to keep fit and flexible enough?

[@jazzcardashcam]

I’ve struggled with coming up in the downswing. I’m heading to the range to work on these drills.

[@zacharytaylor6677]

The way fix my early extension. I did this just before take back swing I say to myself in my head stay in posture all the way from the start of my swing until finish my swing. It help me. Eventually the body would do what you tell it to do

I stand up a little in my downswing. But I want people watching this to know that standing up your downswing is most likely your compensation for something else wrong with your swing or setup.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Definitely could be due to a bad grip or a compensation from the backswing
