This is Why I NEVER Start with the Club Behind the Golf Ball

[@AlexElliottGolf]

*3 Little sneak peaks into exactly what I do with my driver*

[@gertjanderooij9813]

Hi Alex, was wondering if you could do a video on wedge play (80 to 30 yards in) from a wet, kind a sobby fairways now we are going into the winter season. Curious about the way you handle these situations. Thanks. And BTW, your vids are really really good simple to execute them myself and so helpfull!! Keep up the good work.

[@charlesaiello5930]

Good tip on tee height, interesting tip on club to ball set up. I will give both a go.

[@ryanhawthorne7979]

I picked this up in a lesson you dropped a while back and man, it's nice to just walk off the tee before the ball lands, knowing you put it right where I aimed. And that feeling, comes from exactly this. Thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad you enjoy it!

[@az8theist977]

Excellent Alex!! I started addressing the ball OUTSIDE (further away than you are)of the toe after using some powder on the face to find where I was making contact. I didn't know WHY it worked, just that it did! Your video explains that perfectly. Now I have the reason why I'm driving the ball more consistently.

[@nighteowl]

Forces you to swing down with an inside out path. I practice something similar at the range, using two golfballs, placing one ball further (maybe two inches further) out and lining up to that one (a mishit w an actual ball produces good physical feedback). Someone who has a tendency to swing shallow would do the opposite. Place a ball closer, line up to close ball and hit the one further out. 😊

[@tomandrews1874]

😢​@@nighteowl

[@BrianRPost]

Great video, Alex. I was hitting my driver off the heel. So, I adjusted my setup by drawing my club 4 inches back, and lining up the far toe with the left side of the ball. Now, I'm crushing drives, consistently striking the sweet spot of my driver. I'm keeping it in play far more often now too. Thank you!

[@sharpie194]

Alex, tried this today and worked for me, this is how I will play my driver now

[@sharpie194]

Hi can I apply the same principle to my 7 wood?

[@robertoN2024]

Perfect! That means your right foot is a little behind the aiming line from the target when doing the alignment stance, Like Ben Hogan did.

[@retiredmarine3225]

As always, you present the most knowledge in the most concise manner. You're fun to watch and listen to. Thank you for sharing your wisdom, sir. Your tips are always so helpful! Well done, sir, and here's wishing you continued success with your channel. Cheers!

[@stevemccreery764]

Anyone ever seen Moe Norman hit a golf ball? I’m a little obsessed with this guy…he addresses every shot about 8” behind the ball, driver more. Good advice!

[@KindraClark-zn2qr]

Hello there How are you doing today? I will like to be friend with you if you don't mind?

[@dannyf1133]

Check out Manuel De La Torre too fella 😉

[@boxerdogsam]

Seen moe he was a genius at ball striking,👍

[@bluenose8442]

Played around on the range today with lining up driver at the toe end. Genuinely before I saw this video. Smashed ball after ball. Gained a lot of yards and the sound of a middle hit was awesome. Your video defo confirmed this is a good tip! Everyone should have a try at this.

[@Get-Him]

Completely Agree. On all the points. (I don't necessarily follow them all especially the 2nd one with resting the ball on the ground 6 inches behind the ball. But makes sense, so it looks like I will have to try that afterwards. The last one, though I can't tell you how many people I have had to tell to NOT line up in in the middle of ball. What I like to tell people is that then are lined up when their arms are relax and not fully extended. But when they swing away it is natural to fully extend and they will either extend beyond or heal the ball. If they adjust their swing to strike the middle then are not getting a full power of their swing.

[@derbscott2687]

I was always looking up different people giving advice on hitting the golf ball…after finding your post on Utube…i stopped watching other people and started watching videos that you’ve posted…I find that they’re really easy to follow and I’ve gotten great results from your tips…thanks to you I’m playing more consistent and enjoying my game alot more…keep posting those great video tips…

[@AlexElliottGolf]

That’s very kind thank you!

[@BWVideofilms]

Never heard of you until today but stumbled on this driver tip shortly before my round today. Amazingly just following your tips transformed years of trying to hit up on the driver but mostly mishitting into a succession of sweetly hit drives from dead centre of the club to centre of the fairway. Now I can’t wait to look at your other tips. I’m so happy! Thank you Ryan.

[@BWVideofilms]

Sorry, Alex not Ryan!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Brilliant! So glad to hear it has helped!! Haha no worries on the name, but you ar welcome!

[@derbscott2687]

I started doing this with all of my shots…I don’t know why, but this really works for me…no matter if it’s my irons or if I tee it up with my driver…great to see that I’m not the only one that does this…

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great to hear it works

[@davidtison905]

Alex, thank you so much for this tip. I've been hitting my driver like crap lately and felt like I couldn't find the middle of the face. Setting up further behind the ball and off the toe had me hitting my drives today much more consistent, farther and feeling like I was finding the center of the face. Thanks again!!

[@KindraClark-zn2qr]

Hello there How are you doing today? I will like to be friend with you if you don't mind?

[@gregorymiller7861]

Great video... I learned this tip years ago but explained a bit different. Address the ball with the club head grounded in the middle of the face...now just lift the club head and inch now look where the ball is now....heel... it works

[@HughDeans]

Some very interesting advice. Thank you, cannot wait to try, if this rain ever stops! Good video

[@MadMonk67]

I've always addressed the ball on the toe side for the exact reason you state. I don't trust my muscle memory to keep my swing from extending due to centrifugal force. I hit much better this way. However, I've never attempted to address the ball so far back before. I do have a tendency to hit lower so I tee up the ball to compensate. Also, I sometimes hit the ground right before the ball. I'm going to try to tee it up and address it like you show and see if that helps. Thanks, and keep on keeping it in the fairway. 🙂

[@immoservicemark7506]

this one I am going to try tomorrow on the practice... Just discovered the channel and looking promising to aid my golf. Just began a year ago because I live on a golf course in Spain.

[@MichaelSisley-fw3xr]

Alex, thanks for this video. Fairly new subscriber. I was looking back through topics and this jumped out to me. Watched it, then tried it practicing and on the course. Wow! What an improvement. THANKS SO MUCH!!! The driver now comes back out of the bag more.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Love this! thank you

[@braddenning1617]

I used this set up last week after 5 days of practice in my backyard ,just swing the driver and tees, My first drive that weekend I walked up to the tee, set up, took a swing but not muscle it and that ball carried 277 yards !!!! I hit several 275ish and two 300+ But I wood draw right , so I will turn my sternum slightly right with my right foot back just a bit and put a great draw on the ball !

[@Ackers1957]

As a high handicapper 22, tried this method today, felt really weird but it absolutely works a treat, thanks Alex with take a look at you other vids. 👍

[@teddyish8914]

[@raymondkennedy2461]

Very impressed! I worked for Callaway Golf for 18 years as a fitter. Was a 3 handicap most of my years playing. Bad back due to military service and haven't played in 6 years. Lost some weight and now wearing a back brace and trying to play again. It's like I never played! I watched a few of your videos and learned a lot. Will keep you posted on my efforts. Would love to meet you and possibility a lesson or two.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

hope you can try and get to where you want to be - all the best 🙌🏼

[@rgailun1113]

Heel bias with the driver is one of my faults, so your setup is definitely something I am going to try as soon as the weather moderates.

[@kurtwirt8284]

When I saw the video I couldn't believe it. It actually works and I hit more and more balls in the sweet spot, resulting in a 5 to 10m gain. I've tested this on two rounds so far and I hope it stays that way. But as is the case in the game of golf, today's knowledge is tomorrow's mistake. I hope it won't happen.Thanks for this great tip Alex, this was written with Google Translate, by the way, I'm from Germany here too, you have your fans.My Hcp 6,4.

[@JeffDeNuccio]

Good tip I found I was hitting off the heel a lot. Then started stretching my arms out as far as I could at set up made a big difference. Your method is probably easier going to try it Thanks

[@ChuckieC]

Alex, I learned this method many years ago and my buddies said that I made this up, so now I can show them your video for confirmation . Great job on all of your video’s!

[@kentbrown3736]

ChuckieC don't show your friends this video as evidence of anything other than Alex is speaking precisely about his swing. If it works for him and for you then great. The mechanics of a pure golf swing do NOT support Alex's ramblings. Alex's swing is for Alex. Grind in your own swing and model it after the pure mechanics of a true swing. Cheers brother.

[@richardburger4859]

I needed this video so badly. My driver has been killing me lately, well off to the range to work on this.

[@wayneisaac2188]

I've been doing this for awhile and it works. Also, I use foot spray on the driver face to show me where i hit it. Heel bad/middle to toe good

[@jeanlafrance6350]

Really good video. I installed a tap on the face to see and indeed I was still hitting the heel. After your video I now learned how to hit well to reach the center and it works. Better distance. thank you very much.

[@Ghostshadows306]

Sounds like a good tip my miss on the face is towards the heel. I’m gonna try it what heck. You’d think I could have figured it out after decades of playing but I never have.

[@marclissoway2638]

Thanks for this information, I have been hit my driver just like you said, more off the toe and some of my friends think my swing is strange to be able to hit the ball solid. I also do the same for my long irons and woods.

[@airfed]

Last night, I saw just the title of this video. I didn't watch it, yet I put it in practice today on the course. I was hitting more consistent in the upper/toe/center, and made many fairways. I love your videos and your enthusiasm for instruction. Best round of the year so far; I beat the course 3&2. Thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Fantastic!

[@user-ep4yc6dp5w]

You are my hero and I am forever subbed to this channel. I started out golf really young thanks to my father who was an avid golfer and he took me to courses few times every month. I never learned golf professionally but just messed about in the range with my father with occasional tips from him. Me being young and jealous of other adult's distances during the round, as a kid I tried to squeeze every drop of distance out of my swing with my limited strength. Naturally, my swing became kind of like John Daly over swung and with all might thrown at the ball. Fast forward now older adult my swing stayed the same. I am happy with my iron game but my driver was all over the place. 1 out of 5 I would bomb it down the fairway 300~320 yards but other 4 were snap hooks and slice off the planet to a point where I just gave up on driver during my game and teed of with a 4 iron or 5. This video got recommended to me out of nowhere and tried it in the range 2 days ago and my driver was going straight down the range 9 out of 10 times and even the one time it missed it was not a snap hook nor slice off the planet! All this accuracy with my ridiculous over charged John Daly Swing. Yesterday during my round I found most fairways of my adult golf hood with my driver and I was not scared during address that I might kill someone on the next hole. I am forever grateful for this tip man. really you have no idea. I am not sure how much a pint costs over the pond these days but I would love to treat you at least a pint. Thank you so much!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Ahhh wow that’s so kind of you, much appreciated!! It’s so good to hear that you have had benefits from this tip, and we’re finding a lot of fairways!! Keep up the great work and again thank you for your generous tip 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Thank you SOOO much i really appreciate it

[@rayrapp8929]

Interesting points Alex. I hover my driver a tip I picked up from Tony Jackling, I think, many years ago, in order to facilitate a smoother takeaway. However I do keep the club back a little from the face. I will try your ground/toe method. Incidentally, according to someone on Sky TV, Jon Rahm only addresses the ball back when he wants to hit a draw - makes sense.

[@motavice3499]

I went to the driving range for the first time yesterday. I bought flexible tees and some sharpies. My first thought was next time i come out here I'm going to mark all my tees and eliminate the tee height inconsistency. I did really well not hitting the ground. 3 times out of 1 large basket and 1 small basket. I think i naturally hit a little higher so ill find my sweet spots off of good shots and use those as my guages.

[@coffeeman2079]

Just got back from shooting a 92 after a month off. Short game a bit rusty. Will try this Friday to see if I can improve my driving distance.

[@777tmack]

Oh my gosh, I can't believe such a small change can make such a big difference! Thank you!

[@CollegeBoo]

I have changed all my irons to hybrids and will hit on some occasions terrific and others downright ugly. I will try the tee exercise this coming Tuesday hopefully I don’t lunge forward.

[@grahampickup9348]

Nipped out to the driving range at lunchtime today to try this. Wow, most often I don't even carry my driver. It's more of an ornament. I'd told the workmate I went with I can't hit driver. I looked foolish in a good way. Long and reasonably straight. Massive improvement. Thanks Alex

[@AlexElliottGolf]

brilliant!!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video Alex on three things that you recommend a player to do with driver when addressing the ball. As you suggested, I try to tee the ball the same height every time and I do not hover the driver behind the ball for the reason you have given. The one thing I am still working on and it definitely a "work in progress is setting the driver approximately six inches behind the ball and toward the toe at address. All good information Alex! Well Done!!!!

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Brilliant, thanks John i hope this helps

[@TheTurfrex]

Another fantastic lesson. I have a tendency to slide my left side forward on the downswing, so.Im definitely going to bring this lesson to the range!. 50-54-58

[@BillTony2]

I'm a mid-handicapper. One of my problems is inconsistent accuracy with the driver. These tips make a lot of sense. I can't wait to go to the range and try them out.

[@woodswork]

Why doesn’t anyone and I mean anyone mention hand placement on the shaft with driver?? Everyone talks about grip but no one mentions position as this one adjustment that blows everything else out the water as I’ve discovered. Had major issues with my driver and tried every KZbinrs tips and nothing worked until I moved my hands closer to the bottom of the shaft and now I’m hitting straighter and more controlled shots. Before doing anything else move your hand position and I guarantee you, as an inexperienced golfer this works more than anything else you’ll learn. Thank me later

[@gregoire8376]

Thank you.

[@BobbysBearded]

I agree. Pros actually cut a regular shaft down up to 1 inch

[@davidoconnor3201]

Getting fitted for a driver is easily the best thing you can do to eliminate a slice/hook. If you are gripping down on your driver then it doesn't fit you. I got fitted for a ping g425 driver at the beginning of the year, and went from a big slice to dead straight almost instantly.

[@BobbysBearded]

Not only that. I realised that today at practice. You are less likely to pull if you address it on the toe. Makes sense

Works for me. 6 inches back more towards the toe. I stagger my stance with my right foot back some. Finally hitting a baby draw. Nice one Alex. Thank you.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Good stuff!

[@xtremerollin]

I've been addressing off the toe for years and completely destroy the ball. I've showed others when I play with them and notice they slice a bit and when they adjust it puts them right down the middle. It just makes sense.

[@danehubbs5072]

Cause it already get the shoulders engaged. Eliminates one foot of the backswing which is crucial in your takeaway. Moe Norman had it figured out

[@ericvalero2]

I thought I was the only person who did this, with addressing the ball a ways back from it. Basically, i figure between my feet will be the middle of my swing and lowest point, so that's where I want the driver to rest on the ground. I put the ball a few inches ahead of that, inside my heel, mentally picturing bottoming out in the middle and hitting a tad up on the ball off the tee. I've never thought about addressing it toward the toe of the club, I'll have to try that.

[@freddywong5234]

When i was young and hitting driver for the first time, the pro told me don't put your ball in the center, when you address only put half a ball in site center and the other half towards toe. it works perfectly

[@TurdFergusson318]

A good tip I’ve used for years with tee height on drives is place the top of the tee at the break of my pointer finger and keep my finger along the tee stick it in the ground until my tip touches. It’s consistent and the perfect height for me.

[@johnt5324]

Im a hoverer, per Jacks advice. So ridiculous and unorthodox but worth a try. Wondering why Pros dont use this? First try for 18 holes, without addressing at the toe, shorter than normal by a few yards, but straight every time off the tee. Even works with fairway woods. Next up is the Toe address.

[@andypragnell3765]

Interesting theory about placing the club at the toe of the ball makes sense. I presume this would also apply to your irons?

[@ShakerCherukuri]

Faded on the first one 274. Draw second one 287 with toe set-up. Makes sense. Stance looked the same. What about the grip? Same for both?

[@MichaelEnright-gk6yc]

I hover the club then you are already on the swing plane I rarely go off the middle of the fairway but I tee up and have the club 4 ins back f6om the ball tee height always half the ball above the top of the head.

[@redline4124]

I do the same thing, if I address it right behind the ball I always end up with a ball that starts straight and fades a few yards. If I address it like you showed in the video I can hit a pin straight shot that carries 280 yards.

[@DLaronsView]

Great tips! I struggle with tee height and placement. I Can’t wait to try this out on range. ✌🏾

[@jonneumann1917]

Moved the driver start position about 4 inches from the ball and hit 3 draws one after the other…a slower controlled swing also helps

[@johnmchenry8293]

I used to practice with club head stickers to see where I was striking the ball. With the driver I had to address the ball with the toe equal to the ball (just like Alex describes). I just assumed this was due to my crappy swing - now I can see its science and that I don't suck as much as I thought. (as much being very subjective)

[@Surfbird11]

I use the Brush-T because it always sets the ball at the same height and doesn’t break. I’ve used the same tee for several years.

[@brianperry2961]

I'll try it with my 9 wood thanks

[@mikebarnard2689]

Good stuff, as well as centrifugal ( centrepital) force extending arms and wrists outwards , the actual height of the tee makes a difference….. hover the centre of club with ball teed up… now raise the club to an imaginary ball another tee height above…. See how far out the club is now. So to get the right ammount of toe address, try this … hover club centred at teed ball. Exhale, relax and allow club to drop down and back 3-4”. Look in wonder where the ball/toe relation is.

[@cindys1887]

Going tomorrow and will definitely try this

[@TheOgieone]

Great tip, I can’t believe this actually works!

[@stephenhenderson6029]

Alex. I'll be putting this in play. Today, I played using your HEAD TRICK DRILL. My driving was better. Every drive in play, distance varied. But, it was only the first time I used it. I will add this, especially ball off the toe and starting the backswing with the club 4-6 inches behind the ball .. a la ... Moe Norman. You didn't actually say ... but ... I think this will help in the backswing as it squares shoulders and clears room to turn. Am I correct? Thanks Alex. My golf is on the right track

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Glad it was helpful!

[@stevel6895]

Years ago (pre internet) while taking a lesson from a local golf pro he told me not to pay attention to the tips I would see in golf magazines. How do you know the tip you're getting is the correct fit to fix what your problem is? It's pretty much hit or miss (no pun intended) and by the looks of the responses here these tips must have worked for some. Hovering the club. Jack Nicklaus did it his whole career. Matt Kuchar does it to this day! Tee height. Pros tee the ball at various heights depending on what shot shape they want to hit. Addressing the ball from the toe. I've also seen players address the ball from the heel of the club, are they wrong? Anyway, I would try all of the tips shown here in this video, but I won't be surprised if they don't work for me. We all have different swings, the best fix is to have a good pro watch you and make the accurate correction to address your problem. Good luck!

[@BobMariotti-c9z]

next video will talk about the benefits of hovering the club. In fact, they should do a video with all the contradictory advice. Open in bunkers--closed in bunkers. etc. etc. etc.

[@AlexElliottGolf]

Great idea

[@ldp1018]

Great Tip !!

[@DaveH1969]

The setting up to the ball with driver grounded and a few inches back makes perfect sense to me and is something that Im keen to try. But I align my driver up in the centre of the face and a lot of my misses are toe strikes. Maybe Im doing something else wrong, maybe standing too far from the ball?

[@LOHO8682]

If your swing is outside to in then the toe has a greater chance of hitting the ball. Try impact tape on club face or spray foot powder to check the location, then work to develop an inside to out club path. IMHO

[@LOHO8682]

Great tip, I started this technique previously and it’s helped, need to consider setting club head further behind the ball. Isn’t the club momentum of centrifugal force moving the club head further out so the center of club is now more aligned with the ball at impact?

[@scully8899]

Gonna try this makes sense hopefully fix my slice 😅

[@PS-zy4zi]

When I swing my driver, my hands get closer to my body, so I line up the heel of the driver with the ball and also grounded a few inches away from the ball. This works for me and I get a fair distance on a regular basis.

[@paulsteffen8939]

Would you also recommend teeing out towards the toe with the irons, specifically the middle to long irons?

Great video . Thanks ! I’m going to start addressing the driver a few inches behind as although my driver is decent I tend to hit the ball higher as hitting down on it ? (I think that would cause this ? ) . I tend to hit more out of the toe so should I try the opposite and address more out the heel (opposite to your instructions ?)

[@stemtostern7611]

Here's something I do, When teeing it up. First I'll get my right foot and press down on the grass where my tee is going to go. So your tee is in the print of your foot. Place your tee in your fingers like your smoking a cigarette /Cigar with fore finger and index finger pressing the tee down into the ground till your second knuckle touches the grass pushing the tee down with your ball. Now, slightly push your tee forward facing the fairway. Just enough to keep the Ball connected to it's sitting position. Make sure you line up the line of the ball (if you have one) or name on the ball, again toward the fairway. I'll pick out a target of where I want the ball to go like a tree or pole whatever where the ball needs to go.. It's going to give you distance and a straighter everything lines up if you see what I mean? But making a routine into a habit of doing the same each time you go to the Tee Box. One more thing, if your playing with a bonafide Jerk asshole, hopefully one you never see again. When he gets set up on the Tee Box ask him if he Exhales or inhales on his back swing? Thanks Alex always searching for tips.
