Great analysis Alex on "takeaway mistakes" with one's clubface. I am of the generation that was taught "toe up on the backswing to toe up on the follow through." Now, I try , but don't always succeed, in having the clubface looking down on the golf ball on my takeaway. It's certainly a lot easier than to do all of the manipulations one had to perform before. Now, all we have to think about is "square to square." No forearm manipulations. Good Job Alex!
Alex-yesterday I used this drill to keep the face of my iron square, left my wrists in neutral, and consistently hit the best irons of my life. Straighter and longer, and my 8 iron was on fire! ADDITIONALLY, and most importantly, I totally changed my approach to driver to mat h your video showing ball a club head back, feet repositioned, slight turn in of club face and right foot shoe laces behind left foot toe. I hit the majority of fairways, was only slightly off when I missed, lost no balls on drives, AND, FINALLY BROKE 90. I shot 87!!! Your coaching has been invaluable to my improvement. Low 80's are coming. THANK YOU!!!
Always great to see new, simple, short, yet very effective tips. Please don’t ever change, Alex🙏 You’re bound to get even bigger and we love the way you interact with us and listen to our questions. Most RUclipsrs don’t reply to their subscribers anymore. Maybe it’s because they got too busy, too big? You, on the other hand, makes us all feel like we are a part of your videos. More power and thank you again!
This is GOLD. When i was 16 i to a lesson and he told me exactly what you said, toe up. Literally, last week, i played with a club pro. His first comment to me? "Why are you rolling your wrists?" That one lesson screwed me up for 40 years! Thank you!
Alex you are reading my mind… playing my best golf and spraying the 8-7 irons to the right or fluffing them… only 1 out of 3 go straight… so I not controlling the club face.. I take this to the course tomorrow… below 90 🤞🤞🤞👍🏻
Hey Alex, great channel. Was wondering if you could do a video on ball striking incorporating shaft-lean AND release. Working on shaft-lean, but I think I'm sacrificing speed on release. Thanks.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I’ve learned quite a bit. I have a question. I’m so inconsistent with my driver but what I’m most concerned with and I can’t figure out why, is my spin rate. If I fade the ball my spin rate with my driver is in between 2700 and 3000. But if I draw, my spin rate averages between 800 and 1200. Any ideas?
Yesterday I found two new problems. choosing too much club for the forced carries, and having my ball disappear into the distance on my drives. of course, the one where I needed a 280 yard carry, I got the yips on. but thanks to these videos, I don't pull out my driver unless I've got that kind of distance to drive it, now. sadly, Devil's Dogleg, at my local course, put the nail in the coffin on my score.it's brutally unforgiving.
Geat video! Any tips for grip size. Having trouble with driver grip but my new 4 iron i love the grip size of it. Should i change driver to the 4 iron size? It seems just a tad bigger
Hi Alex, could you help me? I believe I am aiming straight but the ball always seem to go right to a greater or lesser extent, the ball flight is straight and not a big arc.
Hi Alex; Is it not true that if the left wrist, for right-handers, is flat & not allowed to be cupped anywhere in the swing, the face, with proper body rotation will be square at impact? I've found that with my neutral grip, if I keep my top hand thumb on top of the shaft as it is when the club is parallel to the ground on the backswing at hip high, my wrist will be flat & the face matches your spine angle. Not allowing cupping is the key.
my miss with my irons is to the right- I am consciously trying to take back with a square club face but it is probably still open. I will try to exaggerate and feel like the face is closed going back.
I’ve been taking lessons for almost a year hearing “toe up to toe up” and I’m still making terrible contact because I’m flipping my hands. This explains why.
You ask for comments for content ok folks who slice will dig around online and find the reverse loop OMG give this a go,,,, push out on the takeaway up wide, you then drop to plane a sort of lag in your swing then pull from inside I could do it with high irons but driver forget it, m8 video my swing today I'm not over the top just slice too often but thank god can drop reverse loop concept, have you tried it
*copy the pros and get the start of the swing dialled in!*

Your videos have really helped with both driver and irons..I recommend folks watch a couple of times, take a few notesand copy the progressions!
Great tip from the best coach on RUclips by a country mile. He Keeps it simple & short. ❤
Glad you think so!
Great swing thought! Worked on this today shot 75 with 4 birdies. Great video. Thanks for your instructions!
Excellent advice and understanding. Cheers Alex.
Glad it was helpful!

I take this to the course tomorrow… below 90 🤞🤞🤞👍🏻
Love this!
Love it. Love it. Love it. I have a huge miss right and I think focusing on this method will square me back up. Thank you!
I was given this drill years ago in one of my first lessons. It was a game changer then.
❤thanks for the top instructions 👍
You’re welcome 😊

Great question Paul!!

Alex do you run any competition?
My pleasure!

Yeah that could also impact it too
this is really good, thanks
Love the slow mo's
Got a round I. About an hour and a half. Gonna try some of this
Yes!! Enjoy it. Report back how you play

Alex, I am "subscribed" but I'm not getting your tips. (I go on-line and look for you). Any ideas?
Maybe you didn’t hit the bell??
Nice very nice 👍
Thank you! Cheers!
Camera sensors still a riot! 😁
What do you mean?
@@AlexElliottGolf the sensor needs swabbed. Look at the grey blobs on the footage. Content great as usual.
I liked 1 and 3, set and forget
Thank you
I had a coaching session this week and i was controlling my wrists and take away, I dropped 18 shots on my last outing as a result
Love that!! So good to hear Jamie
Please, please clean your camera’s sensor!! Be gone, damned black spots!
I will do!
Give your lens a wipe😊
Tidy video😊
Thank you
