Thanks buddie! Started doing this with my lead eye closed to be more consistent on striking the low point of my golf swing. It really really helped me from being so inconsistent with the low point. Reminder to new golfers...(no one ever told me this 40 years ago:( ). Irons: swing down on the ball. Driver: swing up on the ball

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Excellent to hear that and thanks for sharing! Keep at it

[@Ksix1]

Tried this today. My first swing, I nearly toppled over but my ball went straight as an arrow! It felt so smooth and crisp. It works.... I've been using it all day!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Just watch the head does not shift too far ahead

[@Ksix1]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I noticed that if the ball didn't move from that point in my vision, nearly every swing was spot on. I'll be using this a lot more during my practice sessions and try to become more consistent with my eyes open

Searched for low point control video and this popped up. Good god! I'm shocked at how effective this is. Been working on some swing feels/changes and low point has suffered as a consequence albeit swing looking and feeling far better. Tried this closed eye trick in the net at home and hit 5 of the most solid shots I've hit in months. Can't wait to get to the range and try this. Thanks so much for the video. Subscribed. James

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yeh it really is. I need to do another one that refines this a little more. What else would you like to know on it?

[@wiggy123]

@@TheArtofSimpleGolf thanks for the reply. Definitely worth another video on the concept as it's so effective. Would be great to have a similar single idea to apply to the driver swing. I found all my swing thoughts disappeared when focusing on keeping the eye shut. Thanks again for the videos. I'm hooked on your channel. Ha ha.

[@fetchtv2636]

Many Thanks Alex, I played a whole round using this drill and had great success.....Now known as the one eyed golfer!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Fantastic! Love that you are using during play... where it really matters. Keep at it!

[@garyvale8347]

I 've actually been swinging my irons into the lightly snow covered ground ( Midwest, USA ) , trying to hit an imaginary ball, as this helps me easily see what my divot would look like.....I have noticed that my low point is too much behind the ball ...finding it difficult to correct, but will give this drill a try ....thanks much

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

I love this. And look for my don’t look at the ball to stop hitting it fat video too ! Keep T it

[@davee3951]

This drill was a bit of a revelation for me. Surprisingly, closing my left eye while swinging, immediately eliminated my tendency to push fairway woods to the right. I played a whole round one-eyed, with everything but the driver and hit a lot of straight and solid shots, with improved distance. I know that I am right eye dominant but I can't help wondering why this drill works so well.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

That's awesome! i's helping keep you centered and the eyes and mind a little more quiet

[@gothic8]

Thanks much! I recently I've been hitting shots fat and it really isn't normally for me!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Hope this helped

[@Yoohoo2949]

Wow, what a brilliant simple drill. Alex, would this be a great drill to do when you make your practice swing before hitting ball?

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

It certainly won’t harm. But I prefer practice swings on course to be more intentional to the shot

[@johnzimmer4446]

Thank you Alex for another great lesson

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

My pleasure!

[@jjcampbell3654]

Thanks for your reply does turn in the head affect the low point thanks Jack

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes it will. You just need to test it and see where you strike reliably

[@jjcampbell3654]

How does keeping the left I close and the right I looking at the ball get the low point I had of the ball kindly advise thanks for your help Jack

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Encourages turning of head through the ball

[@jjcampbell3654]

Looked at your video again when I close the left eye where should I look with the right I I at the ball or just ahead of the ball how does it work thanks for your help kindly advise Jack

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

These tips will help that. Often it’s an open clubface. Feel like you turn a steering wheel to close on downswing

[@andyfrahm7518]

Excellent video!

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Thanks and hope it helps!

[@rejeantremblay7414]

Very good video Alex . Easy to practice.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Glad you liked it and hope it helps...

[@jjcampbell3654]

Are you saying to keep your center of mass ahead of the ball before impact and when that the a transfer of most of your weight to the left foot prior impact kindly advise thanks for your help Jack

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

He’s that sounds pretty good to me

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

thanks yes the ball has to be at the start of the divot low point after the ball

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

💪

[@user_1664]

Im left eye dominant and right handed , should i close the right eye ?

[@jonanthony9452]

The problem with this drill is that it doesn't take eye dominance into consideration. A left eye dominant player such as Jack Nicklaus, will turn their head slightly to the right which helps them utilize their dominant eye, because it causes the nose to "block" the right eye, which means straighter shots.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes. one lesson can’t really be the all encompassing soulutiin

[@markheckey3378]

What causes topping?

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Can be a few things. Open club face, straightening legs , too much from inside path so stand up

[@billcaddell3848]

I actually hit the ball better with both eyes closed...

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Not bad!

[@tony7830]

As soon as you said " to do with the neck " I liked your video , Ive looked at a thousand of these videos.And when you said NECK , I said this is different .It's got to be the Mirical cure.

[@martynmantack4026]

Looks like stack and tilt to me

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Most good golf Swing have elements of what stack and tilt took

[@chongannyap7562]

Don’t agree, especially when you consider a Right Eye dominant golfer. Also, closing the Left Eye may not work for a Right-handed golfer with Cross Eye dominance.

[@TheArtofSimpleGolf]

Yes and we have a lesson coming out clearing the dominant eye intentions
