@@KJR767sounds like me I go in looking for 1 ball and come out with 5. Edit: Usually that 1 ball that I’m looking for doesn’t have to be mine either just a clean white ball I can play with and tell my friends “yea I found mine I think I can play it” 😂

@AlexElliottGolf Funny, how a swing tip can get your game up to a high standard, and then it kind of wears off, and you have to begin searching all over again.
Not a bad tip to be fair, I would love to see a video explaining what to do with irons when the ball is above and below your feet, where to position ball and where to aim etc
Pff, never trust a guy that uses Titleist Tru Feel balls... lol You dont look at the ball, you look at the back of the ball. Best ball striking advice I've ever had.
I started putting three dots on my right golf shoe. This way if I lose the ball, I don’t have to mark another golf ball. My technique lowered my handicap from 25 to a 24 overnight. Got to love those three dots.
Or what you can do is put your right hand down your right leg to behind your knee then put your hand onto the golf club. That creates a lot of space and can stop the out to in swing as well as hitting up on the ball having a more draw set up with your shoulders. Then you just need to make sure to stand level (never over exaggerate your stance for draw or ball position) and to keep your chest down while you coil your swing, elbow in and head stable. Then boom, perfect drive. The only difference with irons is put your right hand down behind the thigh in the middle vs your knee and obviously smaller stance and instead of ball at the ankle, 1 ball back for wood, another ball for long irons, another ball back for mid/ short irons, and middle for wedges. To compress, push hands forwards a little when set up like cricket so you hit down on the ball
Women comes running into the pro shop, "someone help me, I was out on your course and I got stung by a bee!", pro says "Wow, where were you stung?", woman says, "I don't know, somewhere between the 1st and 2nd hole." Pro says, "Lady first of all, I've got to tell you, your stance is way to wide!"
Hi Alex, I already do exactly what your covering here, my query is where is the focal point on around the green chip and runs & flop shots, thanks Philip
A pro showed me some tips about grip once _ I asked her where she heard that - her answer was " Mr. Hogan showed me that" - true story & I don't slice anymore . It's all in the grip.
Another way to do this, set up the same way on the ball with it lined up to the heel of your front foot, put your right hand on your hip and slide it down right above your knee bend, and just bring your hand up to the club. Gives you that backwards tilt and feels a little awkward at first but it really worked for me. Try a few other methods of course and see what fits you the best
Good tip for someone who has a problem of coming over the top, but then again with this tip could lead to a reverse pivot. When someone is throwing a ball in cricket or throws pitches in baseball, when someone is hitting a ball in tennis or once again baseball they don't focus on how to hit the ball, everything just happens naturally. Same here, because golf is a slow game, people tend to focus on mechanics. Stop focusing on anything, grip it and rip it!!
ive got an old vhs somewhere of me explaining exactly the same thing when i was about 11 haha. filmed around 1990. true story. i will have to find it lol.
The weight of the dots actually increases draw and lift, as well as ensuring full weight transfer.... I'm graduating to 6 dots and an exclamation point
Do old school saltwater ball balance. Mark high and low spots and join their circumference. Ball stamps and markings bear no relation to ball balance. Works.
Tilt still doesn’t matter if swing arc and general athleticism are lacking. Most golfers should start by hitting easy 3W’s from tee, grab an extra club for approach shots, and spend as much time at the practice chipping/putting greens as they do trying to hit “bombs”. A “bomb” is meaningless if you constantly three putt or thin every chip.
but what if you drive it of bounds so start with 3 off the tee. Poor short game and /or poor driving both result in poor outcomes. It's just a difficult game where everything needs to go well.
Spine tilting is catastrophic for one-plane (rotary) swingers, as they don’t need more width. It’s good only for two-plane (upright) swingers, as they need more width. It’s a width-creating move, catastrophic for one set of fundamentals but good for the second. All of this is brilliantly laid out in Jim Hardy’s The Plane Truth book and his following books, along with his 3-part DVD and subsequent Secrets from the Plane Truth Vault series of DVDs.
Instead of this I started setting up about 4 inches or so behind the ball with my driver. I'm very much a novice BUT I hit my drive square every single time in my last round! It's worth trying out everyone!
Why are you rolling a golf ball and a felt tip pen between your thumb and forefinger? Was that some kind of pre-shot drill or were you just glad to see them?
I’ve been marking the exact same 3 blue dots on my balls since i started playing 4 yrs ago. Thought it was unique to me. Now you’ve SOILED IT. SOILED IT. SOILED IT. Lol
Much easier to just tee the ball with the logo pointing away from the target and look at that 🤷🏼♂️ The problem with telling beginners to do this, though, is there are about a million ways to look at the dots from a bad position, and they usually find all million of them 😂 I just have them setup to the Driver with only their lead hand on the club. Once they have their alignment and are in a solid address position, I have them feel the weight 70% on the inside of the trail foot, then add the trail hand to the grip without changing their alignment. This forces them to tilt away properly, and saves markers at the same time 😎
It's hard for me too focus on the dots because I'm focusing on the putter I just broke the hole before and now I have too putt with my pitching wedge but thanks anyway
🤔 is that how I was supposed to use those markings on the found ball I played today (and lost 6 holes in)? I'll get back to you with a 👍🏼 when I try it and it works
No, I've been marking my ball with 3 blue dots like that for the past 5 years. Nothing to do with this tip. I do tend to lose a decent amount of balls, so they could be mine! :D
Wait a minute….great idea but - you say to move your right foot back….so it appears, using foot-aiming, that you are aimed at forest on right side? Please clarify
Good tip. I went from a 20 handicap to a 20 handicap with this advice.

Excellent tip. I went from a novice weekend warrior with a mild slice to becoming a novice weekend warrior with a mild slice. Muy bien!
Great tip mate, I started doing this late last year made such a difference. More confidence in the setup concentrating more on the shot
Thanks for the chuckle!
My best tip for hitting driver is this: Hit it as far as you can down the fairway. 👍
yep close yr eyes and smash it as hard as you can
If I focus on the ball I will top it every time. I have to focus on brushing the turf 8 inches behind the ball.
Probably one of those guys i see hitting a 9 iron with the ball by his back foot so he can tell his buddies his 9 goes 150 😆
M
I’m the complete opposite. If I look at or behind the ball I duff every shot. I have to look inches in front of it to hit the ball first
@@PrawjjekWith a driver you want to be looking behind the ball
It’s all relative to your personal low point in your OWN swing.
*This tip got me from a handicap of 27 to scratch in on day !!*

Hi Alex, I already do exactly what your covering here, my query is where is the focal point on around the green chip and runs & flop shots, thanks Philip
Save the marker for a coloring book. Just tilt right and touch your right knee with your fingers at address, and then swing
I’m opposite, I have to focus on the leading edge of the ball. Solved alot of my chunky problem.
I tried this today and it worked so well! I got at least 15/20 yards extra! Brilliant tip I’m subscribing to this Chanel, keep up the good work 👍
I’m gonna lean towards taking advice from Nicklaus…maybe Hogan….maybe Watson

Same as a few others, I’ve found balls here and there on the golf course with three dots and wondered why they did that? Now I know. thanks
How do you like the trufeel balls?
Helped me too. Definitely works for my swing type.
Insane help you are very good at these videos still am not great but I hit some shots 250 plus yards in middle of fairway
Maybe i overestimated a bit maybe 230-240 total
Scottie has zero spine tilt, and his drive is amazing.
This is your brain on Sharpies
This is what golf does to your brain 😅😅😅
Cheers mate will give it a try. I took 12 of my handicap so far this year so desperate to try everything to get it lowrr

try adding a question mark
Do old school saltwater ball balance. Mark high and low spots and join their circumference. Ball stamps and markings bear no relation to ball balance. Works.
Should the cross no longer be visible for the correct spine tilt?
You might want to try leaning back that far and it should answer your own question
Only if you want to fall over 😮

Actually, it gets you swinging up on the ball.
And then go out to the range and practice it about 2,000 times you'll be amazed at how
well you hit the ball
My biggest issue with driver is head movement, so this is a helpful cue to keep me focused on staying behind the ball. Thanks
Visuals are so helpful. I try to have one for many different thoughts.
Instead of this I started setting up about 4 inches or so behind the ball with my driver. I'm very much a novice BUT I hit my drive square every single time in my last round! It's worth trying out everyone!
Search up “Moe Norman”
Also Jon Rahm did that during the Masters this year look at his highlights.
I do this as well, every drive goes as straight as a die.

Thanks, i was able to hit the ball with your advice.
I would 100% hit it like a sandwedge at this point 😂😂
I did this and it is brilliant!
Titleist TSR drivers are mint
I tee my ball with the mark on the front and I focus on that so I hit thru the center of the ball to the mark
This might work but I have lost count of balls with 3 dots I found in the rough 😊
I literally hit best when I’m not focus on the anything at all. Just kind of zoning out on the ground with the ball in my vision.
Cc deactivated lol 😆 great tips with graphics.
Btw hitting up on the ball helps maximize trajectory amd reduce spin making it fly farther
I was slicing new driver till leaned back ,need to transfer weight for more distance
I have seen those dots on balls on the course for years and never knew why :-)
I’ve been marking the exact same 3 blue dots on my balls since i started playing 4 yrs ago. Thought it was unique to me. Now you’ve SOILED IT. SOILED IT. SOILED IT. Lol
What happens if I run out of marker? Well, Sharpie (Newell Brands) is going to spike after this, and run out of inventory

Why put x on other side just put one mark or turn marking on ball and just look at that .. seems a lot of work to reinvent the wheel
Do not do this
Instructions unclear kicked out for graffiti
If you want to hit a slice then put that ball on your front foot
If you draw 6 dots on the right, you'll hit it twice as far.
I tried this and almost hit the ball
good tip, now when someone finds a marked up ball in the trees, bushes and lakes, they'll know it was mine
There's a reason why tiger woods takes lessons
