Staring at the front of the ball is the game changer. Been doing that for 2 years now works like magic
Excellent! And thanks for sharing with others to affirm it works!
Just started doing this and you’re absolutely right.
@@AlejandroAlvarez-pq2mi it is amazing how small changes like that can change everything mentally for us
I do it with my driver, also helps you ensure the club is going straight through the ball, absolutely brilliant
Yep have to agree.
THANK-YOU, THANK-YOU…….THANK-YOU! My problem when I started playing was trying to help the ball up. I thought I sorted it until a good player told me I was still doing it to a lesser degree. I searched RUclips and came across your tip. I tried it and it IMMEDIATELY worked and still does. It also stops me looking for the ball on the downswing and arms getting in front and me trying to kill it. I don’t notice the ball anymore but it flys off my club. If I got a good contact with my 5 iron, I hit it about 175 ish. I’m now hitting it 210 plus. Only I’m from Northern Ireland I’d personally come and shake your hand. This has totally changed my game. Long straight shots STRAIGHT down the middle and if I miss, it still stays in play. I was buzzing after I’d tried this and it WORKED! I really do owe you a drink…….CHEERS mate 🍻
That is great very well done!!! Cheers for sharing and it sounds like you are on the right road now !
A 5i to 210yards is PGA range... that's Awesome!
I've yet to have that kind of a return on implementation a new technique but your story gives me a glimmer of hope.
Thanks for sharing.
I’ve been doing the head tilt for a few months and it has been immensely helpful
Keep it going and thanks for sharing
This was much needed. Was having the round of my life at a difficult course and chunked my 9 iron a couple times in a row after beautiful drives and really deflated the momentum. Still a great time of course, but next time I’ll be ready after this.
Well I’m sorry to hear that happened but I’m confident you can see the improvement and working when you need it!
This i why i love your videos. You’re not twisting us into pretzels with static positions. Hoping this helps my contact because chunking is the plague and bane for us amateurs
That’s the goal! Let us know how it goes :)
I like this, it coincides almost exactly with a lesson I had 2 weeks ago, I enjoy your presentation style also.
Glad to hear it! Keep at it
Thanks! I am having golf tryouts next week and this helped
Good to hear!
Excellent Axel, and YES, its makes through swing really easy and simple, thanks 🙏
Wonderful to here and I’m glad it resonated
Nice vid, struggling with 4 and 5 irons. Behind is usual prob. Looking forward to trying some of these tips. Thks.
Try putting a tee or object 1 inch in front of the ball and strike through.
Honestly one of the most strait forward and usefull videos if watched
Wonderful to hear
Focusing in front of the ball is definitely a game changer! It works well.
It’s amazing for many
Just seen this one and it's a beauty.... I look about 4ins in front and it works every time...simples👍
....🌟🎊🤩🥳
Awesome. Too the point , Thank you.
I am off to implement 💪👍🏼👍🏾
Let me know how it goes!
I switched to not looking at the ball last year and have found that it help to release my swing and make flush contact. Highly recommend trying it. Takes the fear out of playing.
That's wonderful to hear. It might be something to do with your dominant eye too. Thanks for sharing
This tip helps. I haven't tried the head tilt, but looking in front, I'm crushing my 3w and 5h. But I still need practice
Indeed! Thanks for sharing :)
Fantastic tips! The other one of yours that helps me move through the ball is thinking about hammering horizontally like a nail. Thanks.
Yes they are linked!
Love your fixes for fat shots. It really works, at least in practice. Can you talk about taking your golf game from the range to the course.
Yes I will. Been asked to do more on that. Glad this resonated 👍🏌️♂️
It works in play. Just commit to hitting something in front of the ball (piece of grass). Have the intent of making a divot in front of the ball. Forget the ball. The ball is just in the path. Forget it.
Mate,I forgot how to hit the ball,seen your channel the other day,reduced my swing and guess what👍
I can’t wait to try this now as I look at the back of the ball.I’m feeling positive cheers
Glad to hear this and let us know how it’s going 🏌️♂️👍
What a great style of teaching you have!
Thank you kindly Gary! Hope this one resonated too :)
I will absolutely work with this. I've been gripping down and it's been positive, I noticed some bad head movement on the backswing, but didn't really have a positive "do this" idea to fix it.
Look ahead, core through to target, my new mantra lol.
Excellent and let me know how it goes
Very nice tips! Worked on the range today. Have been putting the ball so far back in my stance, which caused other problems!
Thanks!
Glad to hear it!
This a really top tip and great advice from Alex ... I took this to the course and produce some of the best hybrid golf shots I have ever done, long and straight ... not high or deviating .. thank you so much for this and everyone should try this method ... worked for me
Excellent to hear and well done. Thanks for coming back to share too! 🏌️♂️👍
I get it ! Thank you very much ! I’ll practice more to get long term muscle memory to make it swing naturally!
Exactly! 🏌️♂️
Tnx very much Alex my biggest problem with my golf is hitting behind the ball
I'm going to work on what you say
Does gripping slightly down affect the distance of the shot Best wishes Arnie from South Africa
Hey, distance maybe a smidge but if you are more consistent, your AVERAGE distance will increase if that make ms sense.
Give it a bash :) 🏌️♂️
Awesome video lesson! Thanks! Will give it a try!
Glad to hear that. Let me know how you get on!
Another tip i would add (as a VERY beginner golf player here, still trying to figure everything out) I noticed a lot of people on youtube teaching golf had their lead foot slightly more fanned out towards the target than their trail foot. I did that and I went from my iron shots always going to the right to straightish/left (depending on how far i had it fanned out, still figuring that part out) and even started drawing the ball it seemed.
Like this:) ruclips.net/video/CTwjloA9kCI/видео.html 👍🏌️♂️
Great lesson Alex. Well done. Thanks.
Newer player here, would you recommend looking in front of the ball on short chips as well...20-75 yards?
Maybe. Test it out. It’s more subtly but if you find you chunk chips then get through as a primary goal
Thanks Alex ... I'm gonna try this... 👍
Good to hear let me k ow how it goes
Great video, thanks so much👍🏻
More than welcome!
This was awesome advice I was hitting the ball so much better
Wonderful thanks for coming back to share and keep at it!
Okay, pointing the head slightly ahead of the ball looks like a simple, immediate way to avoid fat or duffed shots with an iron or hybrid 😉. Got it! Now what about Shawn Clement driver drill that makes the student's head pointing behind the ball instead? Seems to be the opposite drill.
That’s the exact same principle. You are looking where you want the bottom of the arc to be.
A video has already been filmed with driver on this :)
Thanks!
You bet!
I wish I had your channel when I was shooting 85 on my high school golf team ha.
Try out next year lol :)
Something I asked for a while ago. Thanks very much mate. Will be applying this at the week-end. I think the course is best place for this one, range mats can kid you…
Ah excellent! Yes mats can be forgiving for sure. But one can still feel the contact is a little firmer shall we say. Give those tips a bash and let me know how you get on.
Thanks Alex much appreciated 👍🥃🇨🇦
No worries!
Love it.
🏌🏽👍
Wonderful video tips
👍
Hi Alex; just 1 question. I only hit it fat occasionally so what I need to know is should my forward leg be straight at impact to stop forward momentum & over rotating & losing power? I can't seem to get the timing right which is when I do hit it fat. Thanks.
Straighter may well help but do t snap it straight /locked as it were
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Got it, thanks!
I tried this at the range last night. I had issues at times looking behind the ball and hit fat shots.
What a difference in compression and it feels as if the clubface is square for longer though the ball!
Felt weird at first but once you rotate correctly its fantastic!
Exactly the intention keep at it!
I have the same Adidas shoes. I love them! They're so comfortable and nice looking! They're the best!
👍👍🏌️♂️
They are comfy:) not great if there’s a bit of moisture for traction during the swing though. I slip a bit
Good tip . Awesome
Glad you liked it
I would add a couple more things. CLEAR YOUR HIPS and FOCUS ON THE TARGET!! That is what I do in my swing. I clear my hips as soon as I can in the down swing and then find the target. The ball is irrelevant. I find that I hit the ball when I am looking at the target!! It works!!!
It’s good to have positive feels like that. Keep at it :)
I find that my left knee rolls out forward on downswing and end up usually hitting 1-2" behind the ball as right side collapses. any thoughts Alex? ty.
It’s your trail side dipping and lead side going up. You need to feel the Raghu shoulder over the ball. Impact lesson a couple of months back on channel will show you
It's my worst part of my game. Will be giving this a try.
Hopefully not for long! Let us know how it goes
Kept on at my son about this - if you focus on the back of the ball you hit AT it rather than through it. He was almost stopping his swing a couple of feet after the ball because he was hitting all his speed at the back of the ball. He got it after a while, I put a tee in the ground ahead of the ball for him each shot ... takes a little time, but then the rest follows
Can you use this tip for driver as well?
Not really as it's about moving the low point. Set driver about 3 inches behind the ball and look in beteeen driver and ball... see how that feels
I've been playing golf for just over 2 years and have managed to get my handicap down from 25 to 20 and what I have learned is if you keep hitting behind the ball what you need to do is get some slightly shorter clubs or just hold the club a big lower down. If you're still having problems then you are doing something else wrong. Follow my tip and you can't go wrong. Best wishes, Johnny Muscles
I share the same thing in this video as a bonus tip. But just chocking down does the trick
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf the other thing to do is to insert 3 extra sets of insoles to your golf shoes. This will add about 10mm to your height. The downside to this hack is that your shoes are then far too tight and crush your feet so make sure you use a golf buggy.
@@johnnymuscles2767 lol
This seems too good to be true. Can’t wait to get to range tomorrow morning.
How did it go John?
Show by using graphic design is much better than tons of explanation ..
🏌️♂️👍
you are now my golf instructor.......
Well I’m honored and glad you’re with us!!
Close your dominant eye and you eliminate focusing range. My right eye is dominant when I close it my focus switches to the front of the ball. My swing bottoms out an inch beyond the ball.
Sound tip and one I cover in another video
I’m having a weird issue I lost a lot of distance with my driver I was hitting the driver around 280-300 carry and now I’m hitting it like 240-250 but I’m hitting my irons and wedges around pga your average idk what’s going on with my swing but I’m super confused
You may be adding too much spin with the driver. What kind of shape and flight?
A small cut
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf I also hit my long irons shorter too may having contact issues I realized that my arm tends to bend and it doesn’t straighten again but when it’s straight I hit my pw between 140-160
Alex Is the focus ahead of the ball a quick fix or a tip for life? Do good golfers like yourself do this every time? I have tried it and it does lead to better compression so it can work, but i find my ball striking to be less consistent than when I focus on or just behind the ball.
You obviously don’t have the (problem) of hitting it fat. Keep your head and eyes where they work best for you.
Well said!
Little tings like this can be a principle.. but if it's not a consistent improver... it may not be for you. look at more of the pressure shift and going through.
Maybe it is just me but even though I focus on a point ahead of the balls I still hit behind the ball over half the time. Guess some things are not able to get fixed to work properly.
It depends on other factors. You may be dipping your trail side down in downswing too much
I try rotating my hips more on the downswing to get through the ball , but I feel like I'm spinning out
You need to apply pressure not spin. Look for my cardboard drill with feet
Now that I'm working in my hip rotation in specific, my swing is slight changing and I'm hitting slightly fat. When I'm able to clear the hips properly it's like PRO. 3wood off the deck 240yrds straight as an arrow. Just wish I could do it consistently.
This will help i'm sure. It's about intent. Keep at it!
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf the feeling of how/when to initiate rotation.. when to have the right leg help start it. That's the thing
@@Sparky_007 look up my catapult with cardboard lesson and drill video. That should help
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf thanks!
Where do you look with a driver off the tee?
Similar can work for some. But depends on which is dominant eye. An inch behind the ball can work
If you want the lowest part of your swing to be just in front of the ball, why not just adjust your stance so the ball is just off-center towards your back foot?
BecUse your party and angle of attack if affected a lot that way
I do Not get the idea of the head position that is mentioned here at all 🤔...
The rest no problem,but angling the head position making No sense... what am I missing?🤔😤🙄
Always practiced in keeping eyes on the ball through wing... but angling or tilting the head!?... WTH?
Eyes stay near ball. It’s intent and to help get through
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf
Sorry,that did Not answer the question...
You still going to position where you will be in lining up to the ball... You are going to keep eyes on the ball through swing... that is 101 👍...
But angling the head to one side as you mention?🤔... are you suggesting to turn and angle head while having the eyes in the far corner to one side of view of your head?🤔... again,that seems odd and makes no sense... Sorry🙄
I'm the king of the chunk
Hope this helps
You can spin your head all the way around, if your swing stinks its gonna make any difference
🏌️♂️👍
Ironically, if I tilt my head like you’re recommending I stay behind the ball and hit it fat way more often.
I guess you focus too much on keeping the head still and forget to turn your belly at target
Well said.
I wager the tilt is too much on downswing
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf 👍
I’ve got a question, do you have any customer service whatsoever with your site ??? signed up for a trial membership, never received anything back , messaged your customer service - no reply, now a month later get a membership charge on my credit card , poor way to run a business mate !
I’m so sorry to hear that. Please email again and I will ensure you get taken care of. Take pride in the support and offer we have. I’m sorry
If it takes you 7 minutes to explain then it is not an easy fix.
It is. But the explanation is crucial. If 7 minutes is too long for a golf lesson, keep going from tip to tip in bite size lessons without ever really knowing if it’s applicable and how to make it work best for you.
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf There are levels of ‘easy’. If everything could be fixed in 60 seconds Ive no doubt that’s would you would do! 7 minutes is nothing if it helps your golf swing, in fact it’s gold dust. I think some people want a magic wand, not well-informed guidance! Don’t change mate…
Very thankful
