The World's Best Driving Tip That You Never Thought Of!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*Let’s start the week right! Key areas are today - CLUBFACE control and swing plane! ✈️ let me get your sorted ✔️*

[@timflamboe894]

Alex, Thank You! I am a 100% disabled veteran with balance issues, left leg is shorter than right which screws up everything on my left side. You have helped to adjust to this problem I have and even tho Im not shooting in the 70s, you have made golf more enjoyable for me!

[@booboojones2590]

That’s fantastic. I hope you enjoy the game even more this year !!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this, so good to hear it is helping you 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@MatthewCaffrey-v8k]

I have watched tonnes of videos online. The swing plane in line with the club angle at address and subsequent follow through is the best tip on the internet. You will hit the ball right to left and MUCH straighter…..transformational for me. Nice one Alex.

[@robnoble9570]

Have been working on slowing my swing down on the range over the winter........slice is disappearing drastically but its still a work in progress. Hopefully adding this tip will be another piece on the jigsaw

[@andrewsheppard2404]

Alex I just had a breakthrough lesson with my coach who told me exactly the same thing you just covered and it has transformed my ball flight over night. Great video as always mate and thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this! Great work andrew

[@steveuk9162]

Haha yes I would rip your hand off for that shot shape. Appreciate all the driver videos you’ve posted lately. Easy for us simple folk to follow and not full of confusing jargon. Just need the weather to sort itself out to go out and practice them on a round. The range will suffice for now. You only have to watch Jimmy Bullard on golf life to see you don’t need to smash the life out the ball to get 300yards with driver. You scratch golfers make it look so effortless

[@susancrowther9998]

Great video - through swing like a top spin forehand in tennis. Keep up the good work!

[@janicetomaso2129]

Great video Alex! Your takeaway is very helpful. It also rotates the left forearm going back. 😳😍👏 Thank you!

[@troykase9472]

Love it. I have been trying to do something like this, and it works. However, the way you explained it will help me (I think) put it into practice more consistently. Thank you.

[@roytompkins8596]

Thanks Alex. Just played a round after watching this video last night and for the first time in two years of slicing, I hit my driver straight every time. So simple. I can’t thank you enough. Now I need to stop hitting behind the ball with my irons. Cheers

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this! great work roy

[@PeterJones-ki4xz]

Thanks Alex another excellent video on the driver & explained so well & easy to follow👍

[@westsighed]

Hi ... love your videos! ... please, can you help me understand why I'm pulling my driver tee shots straight left (RHG) between 70-150yds. It shoots out between 7 and 8 o clock on the clock face when impact is aiming for 4 o clock through 10 o clock. The rest of the time when I hit 4 to 10 I'm hitting straight shots.

[@brentv3359]

Thanks! These videos have helped me a lot. I’ve been looking into plyometrics to see if I can get a few more yards that way. Sorry if I’ve missed it but do you have a video on any in particular you like or find beneficial. Saw there are some plyometrics to help clear your hips, which would be huge for me. Appreciate the videos!

[@adamwhittick3244]

Hi Alex - just back from The Beeches after giving this a go. I've only been playing for a few months - I was starting with my arms locked out - so stage 2/5 adjustments feel a lot better - with much better results. Thanks!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this!

[@aloisbueycot1637]

Great explanations, easy to follow!!!

[@montybatra9512]

Excellent video for the driver swing. It might be one of the best I have seen! Very easy to employ and explained simply. Thanks Alex. Just started noticing your golf swing videos on this KZbin platform. 🙂

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Very welcome

[@mattwells9474]

Alex I have watched all your videos on hitting driver and kept adjust grip, rotation, and weight shifting. My iron play improved greatly but I have had a wicked slice and it seems the more I try to fix the faster the ball spins off the club. That was until this video I went and played 9 yesterday and 18 today no range time just played using everything from this video and I’m killing the driver 275 to 300. Instead of slicing I’m actually getting a draw. I actually was hitting them all left until I adjusted my aim a bit but this swing adjustment has changed it all from hitting maybe 2 fairways a round d to now I hit 14 out of 18 today. All this was fixed by the adjustment in backswing just changing the angle. Thank you very much for this lesson.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Brilliant matt! So good to hear 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@ra1der5]

Alex, I always enjoy your vids. You put things is simple terms and easy drills to help us shoot better scores. From a high handicapper, THANK YOU! One thing I would like you to address is golf ball selection. I have a lower, 70-80 MPH, swing speed and do tend to have a predominantly left to right ball flight. I know I can’t fully compress a Titleist Pro-V1 and believe that ball would enhance my fade/slice. I also think the Callaway Supersoft, which is recommended for my swing speed, feels a little mushy. Please consider doing a video on how ball selection affects ball flight and how a high, mid, and low handicap golfers should go about selecting the right ball.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thanks!! And course i will try and cover this in another video

[@joebird2744]

Hi Alex I'm a beginner to golf how should I hold the driver. I'm improving your videos are helping me with my swing. But what should I do as a beginner kind regards Joe

[@Chris_Kidd]

Brilliant drill set Alex. Step 2 made me realize a setup error on my part💡. Also the car gear mindset is great as I have a habit of wanting to always absolutely murder the ball with every driver swing 😂. Great explanation of step by step process as always. Thank you for sharing your knowledge, it truly helps.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you Chris!! Report back though when you’re integrating this tip!!

[@Chris_Kidd]

I will for sure.

[@nickhinves5478]

Great video has really helped. But when i try and swing full speed the slice comes back, so now just swing easy for fear of loss of control.

[@cobrad95]

Alex, Great video as always- I am not much of a slicer, but I am working very hard to hit a draw, can you do a video on that- including correct grip position? Thanks Bill

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Course!

[@zaszzman]

Alex, I have a real problem getting any distance out of my 52 or 56, I am always hitting ,very high with no distance. how do you get distance out of these clubs.

[@George-g3z9s]

Hi alex, why after a great drive ei duff the first iron shot, and that often

[@TracieLucas-k5d]

I am a cackhanded beginner golfer who slicea my woods can you give any advice for holding club to fix this.

[@DMac-u9r]

Thanks Alex, another really helpful video, off to the range with this one!

[@peaceful477]

Alex though late to see this clip. Yet, great understanding. Very logical explanation buddy. Keep it up. 🤲🤲🤲🤲🤲

[@andyfrizzell4352]

Hi Alex. Loving your tutorials. It's like you are a different person to the manic guy that does your equipment videos

[@shams923]

Amazing. I really would try this... BTW if u can make a video... I'm new to golf played almost for a month.. Perfect with irons only... Been played 3 iron for the driver short and able to get 240 yds with it.. It's always 220-240 yds with the 3 iron.. But I want to learn how to hit a driver so that i may be able to hit at least 300 yds... But I'm not sure about the distance from the ball.. And when I hit the driver it's not only one mistake but it goes for Slice, draw and duff shots (slice is more) if u can guide me on that please 😊

[@jamesdenyes9555]

Alex. I hear about a whipping motion for speed and distance. Can you do a video on this please.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah for sure i will try and cover this in another video! Thanks for the comment and the support on the channel, i i really appreciate it 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@davidure67]

Very good video. Thanks.

[@FlankerJackChannel]

A recent video analysis of my swing revealed that I'm able to bring the club back along the right plane but for some reason my hands move up causing an outside in swing. Not really sure how to fix it. Any thoughts? Trail elbow looks okay I'm thinking it might be an issue with my lead shoulder.

[@hirashahi4651]

Alex Thank you for the tips.

[@audreymurray4375]

Hi I just watched ka video where you said I can download videos. Can you please repeat it thank you loved the video as always I will try it when next on the course

[@raybruss2346]

I love your attitude and coaching

[@rohan_coyi]

Great great great video mate! Thanks so much!

[@DaveCYFF]

Went with the ping g430 max 10k can you make the swing weight lighter to enable to swing faster enabling it to go further -bigger grip reduce weight in the head from 28g to say 22 gram ,thoughts ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love it! I’m sure you can but i’m no technical guy so wouldn’t want to wrongly recommend you

[@nicbrule8566]

I have a average of 110mph swing but I'm new too the game, is there a good cheap ball for my swing speed.. look forward to your answer or vidio, thank-you!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love it Gee keep your eyes on the channel

[@aj401]

Great content!! Thanks! 👏

[@ianh8396]

Great video Alex, would this feeling of trying to swing on the plan of club shaft also apply to irons?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah it certainly can

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes you certainly could try this!

[@craig8077]

Great tip Alex

[@mickeylegalhawk6510]

How do I get warmed up for a fitting. In the north east and it’s still cold here with snow

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Take a look at the fitness playlist, it will cover this for you

[@jbspilger7713]

Alex, I'm fairly muscular for a new senior golfer. My issue is that even though my practice swing is smooth & easy, my actual swing sees me trying to "muscle" the swing. How do I stop using my arms?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

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

[@leebanks-gorton4512]

Is this setup the same for hybrid clubs? Lee

[@paulbarrett7227]

Yet another great tutorial video, OMG ⛳️

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad you liked it!!

[@randyboyd3839]

Does this approach work on 3-5 Woods ?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yeah i would certainly give it a go!

[@stevenyourston3398]

Firstly thank you for the coaching tips. Here's one for you how can I go from mid to low 90's and a 20 handicap with my eBay specials and shooting the worst round of my life 148 after getting a custom fit what could have gone so wrong 😭help

[@AlexElliottGolf]

I will cover this in another video for sure 🙌🏼

[@berylwright3301]

Great video

[@royclose946]

Well done alex 🏌‍♂️ 😊

[@FlankerJackChannel]

This is a great video

[@bobdickerson3434]

At five feet five, I believe that one of the reasons I slice my driver is simply because the driver is too long. I don’t slice any irons from my four iron down. Yet, put a longer iron or wood in my hands, and it’s slice city.

[@fakereviewz]

in to out swing drill, feel and points.

[@marc6790]

Dear Ales, really appreciate all your videos but in this one - I think at least - what is missing is some detail about players heights and how this applies to the taller ones here. Since woods do not get fitted, specifically not the driver, the taller of us find it really awkward to follow this advice here. With 6.4“, lowering the hands as you suggest, the spine has to really bend a lot, actually promoting a steeper swing plane if one doesn’t want to move in a completely awkward position. There surely is some correlation with player height and their ability to do as you suggest. I.e., look at Bryson with 6.1“ and how he has his hands or John Rahm with 6.2“ who has a more fade type drive which has a lot to do with his height also imho. So a few words about this would really be appreciated…

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Good point to be fair! thank you

[@Criscross292]

I’ve been trying to see if I’m getting 2 knuckles on the grip during contact while the club is traveling at 95mph 😉 All kidding aside… those are great tips. Thanks 👍

[@jjflash1645]

How come you don’t turn the golf club clockwise before you start the down swing like you did yesterday?

[@AlexElliottGolf]

This approach is different, as i’m trying to cover different approaches so it works for different golfers :)

[@jjflash1645]

Alex put a 1/2 a basket ball on ur waist and u’ll have my figure! Then give me some tips for striking a golf ball. Don’t say lose weight - it is what it is and I m 80 yrs old!

[@pammiechick]

Lol! I see you haven’t lost your humor in your elder age! 💪🤜🤛😜

[@jacobmartin8619]

Go through your swing slowly and explain what you’re feeling throughout the entire swing.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Yes this is a great idea Jacob!!!

[@stuartbain5599]

Great video, just been trying to sort out my address angles, so now got a plan..

What about too flat going back and coming over the top.
