Hey Alex, the way you explain things simply resonate. I’ve seen a few PGA professionals and they couldn’t boil down this simple move in the same way that you can to save their lives. You have a gift, thank you my friend!
I can’t tell you how many videos I watched trying to find a way to shallow the club that I could actually execute. Then, I watched yours. This is so easy for me to do, and reproduce. Many thanks, Alex! You’re the best!
The more I watch this pro, the more I like his teaching. This drill I believe is excellent and has cleared up many questions I had relating to shallowing.
Thank You Alex, Your best video ever! May be, I`ve not seen all of Your videos. But I never have heard a better explonation of shallowing the club and getting extention of the arms the same time.
Hey Alex, I did this drill at the practice range today. It is unbelievable how nice I was making contact with the ball. It even slowed down my down swing which was historical for me. I did this move with all my clubs . You know your stuff. Thank you so much. Keep up the great work.
Yes. The key “feel” for me is all about right wrist cocked more back, not up(holding a plate). This flattens the left wrist, and with some natural left forearm rotation, sets the club perfectly at the top(glove logo pointing up at the sky about 45*). Now, the move you mentioned is to initially lower the arms, and club, as a unit, without losing those wrist positions. I think that’s where people go wrong. Most people never get the club set correctly at the top. Then, even if they do, they fire the wrists wayyyy too soon in transition. And you’re right… The butt of the club pointing outside the ball/target line is an EXCELLENT way to check this. Great video.
Just watched this one - fantastic - this is what I struggle with as I was taught to pull the club down and hence lost all angles and subsequently power. Will take this to the range tomorrow. Thank you!
More gold from Alex. Top 50 instructors? You are eating your way up the food chain my friend! Exceptional explanation. Couple this with the Faldo "left shoulder to the sky" you did...pure gold! Thanks Man!
Was skeptical but was at a loss for how to get rid of being steep. I can’t believe How easy this is and moreso how straight and flush I hit the ball using this method. This is absolute gold and may be the final ingredient to push me to a plus handicap. Thank you thank you thank you!!! For this!!
@@AlexElliottGolf after almost a week of practicing this, I'm noticing improvement but video shows me that I'm nowhere near where I need to be yet. I've also noticed that sometimes this move increases the likelihood of me hitting it thin. Any reason for that or suggestions? Will keep working on it...thanks!
Hi Alex I have a question it seems in a lot a video lessons and training aids your arms are connected to your body in the golf swing I've tried this but it feels so tight when you swing the club am I doing something wrong hope you can make sense of this keep the lessons coming kind regards Lee
Alex If you have shorter legs longer upper torso. Do you have a different swing plane than someone who has longer legs and shorter upper torso. How is the plane different ? That’s what I need to know
Can you show me with two different players one width short legs and long upper torso and one with long legs and shorter upper torso. Does that affect the golf plane
Hi Alex, this move is a game changer for me! Question though, do you lower extend and rotate the lower half of the body first (all at the same time) and keep the upper part of the body quiet before you swing through? Sequencing is super important to me and you just ran out of time.
@AlexElliottGolf , A wee bit of back ground info. I started playing golf in June of last year. Driver is a taylormade M3, set 12.5°. Shaft is a Ventus senior flex. On course I drive between 180yrd to 220yrd. So after quite a few dodgy attempts, of the technique you showed yesterday. The longest drive I achieved was 235 yard, several over 220, and fairly straight lol. Though I'm sure I can achieve further. 18 holes tomorrow to try on course.
@@AlexElliottGolf Not long. 26th will be nice enough. I play through winter, but this is the worst month typically. And weather has not cooperated with my work schedule. 😂. But thanks big time! I just need to synch it all up.
@@AlexElliottGolf I got out there today. 48 F with 30 mph winds. Lol. But I was surprised how well the change went. I did a much better job squaring it up. 🍻
Holding the tray an age old swing thought. Alex, we all think our weight should have transitioned to the lead leg before the club gets down into the slot. What about the keep your back to the target for as long as possible. Plz explain these comments.
I’ve been trying to do this for a year or more and can not grasp how it’s supposed to feel. All my shots are going left due to outside to in swing path! I need serious work.
Great video! I can shallow the club finally!! I know I’m making better contact, but sometimes I get a high and to the right flight? Am I missing something? Do I need to bow the wrist? Please help!!
Sounds like just an open club face. Make sure you're turning the club face back to square by rotating the hands in transition and through the downswing. If were holding the club parallel the ground, the left hand is revving a motorcycle and the right wrist is cupping (for a right hander). You'll see the club face turn back to square, then rotate through to impact. Clay Ballard calls this "the move" if you want to learn more.
@@AlexElliottGolf Athletic Motion Golf. If you aren’t watching them I’d suggest it. Their shallowing video discusses a similar idea and both your video and theirs have changed my swing!
This also from Alex two years ago: ruclips.net/video/DOhCx0LhMDs/видео.htmlsi=6mAz9FHhY9D6yGEF A different way for different people to accomplish the same goal.
Wonder who came up with the idea first - You or Russell Heritage : ruclips.net/video/6rLv3dMTFYw/видео.html However - both very, VERY good video/instructions
*YES THIS WORKS! I can’t wait to read all your messages on how good your ball striking Is after watching this*
Ball striking has never been so good because of this if I could only get my short game to be as good.
Hey Alex, the way you explain things simply resonate. I’ve seen a few PGA professionals and they couldn’t boil down this simple move in the same way that you can to save their lives. You have a gift, thank you my friend!
Can't tell you how much you have helped my game with simple visual explanations 😮
I can’t tell you how many videos I watched trying to find a way to shallow the club that I could actually execute. Then, I watched yours. This is so easy for me to do, and reproduce. Many thanks, Alex! You’re the best!
Glad it helped!
Hands down (no pun intended) the best drill. Hit the sweet spot every time for the first time in years!!!
The more I watch this pro, the more I like his teaching. This drill I believe is excellent and has cleared up many questions I had relating to shallowing.
Excellent! That works fantastic. It also increases my swing speed. You are a great teacher and how you explain things is very understandable.
Thank You Alex, Your best video ever! May be, I`ve not seen all of Your videos. But I never have heard a better explonation of shallowing the club and getting extention of the arms the same time.
Glad it was helpful! Thank you Frank! I hope you see some BETTER ball striking after this
Got to agree on the first line. This has completely changed how I'm doing my drills and it feels so easy
The down, out and, up move Makes this happen for me. I can't swing any other way now. Thanks again Alex. Just what I needed.
Thank you risto! Let me know how you get on with this

Awesome Alex. Going to put this in my golf exercise warmup up.
So important to learn this
Alex my hero!!‘. The best I saw for a long time!! Greetings from cold and frosty Switzerland
Thank you!! Hello from rainy manchester
Master Stroke, Alex. Best one for "shallow" technique!
Just watched this one - fantastic - this is what I struggle with as I was taught to pull the club down and hence lost all angles and subsequently power. Will take this to the range tomorrow. Thank you!
Great video. Can't wait for the snow to go and hit the range with this drill.
Simply put , you are 100% correct on this one , way to easy 👍👍
Thanks 👍
Thank you!! Will be trying this from Vancouver Canada. Cheers mate.
Love to hear that!!! Let me know how you get on!!

Agreed, this does work! Give it a try.
Good clear explanation
Glad you liked it
Omg. Watched this and hit the range. Best I've hit the ball in years. My distance and consistancy went up loads

Happy to help!
I like the way you presented this! can't wait to work on it!

Really good stuff! Wish I could get in-person lessons with you! Thanks. Keep up the good work!
thanks big Al i will give this a try makes sense
I'll practice this and let you know in 1 week the result. You've explained it very well indeed
thank you for teaching🥰
Game changer ; fantastic advice
Alex, try the Malaska move.
Love the breakdown. Thanks alex!
Thank you i hope it helps
Super easy drill. Thank you!
Thank you I
Hope
It helps
Shallowig the club actually makes sense to me now!!!
YEAH!!!! This is what I love to hear 🙏🏼
Thanks!!!! Can’t wait to get in the range.
Love to hear that!! Let me know how you get on!!
Great tip
Glad you think so!
Hello from Bavaria! Great advise! One question though: Does this apply to all clubs or only to drivers and woods?
Great tips can’t wait to try! Thanks, mate
Love to hear that Lee!! Let me know how you get on!!!
Great teacher
Wow great video best explanation every seen.
Glad you think so!
Another great tip thankyou
I cannot wait to try this, few swings in the house feel great, I cannot wait to try this
Hope you enjoy
Alex
If you have shorter legs longer upper torso.
Do you have a different swing plane than someone who has longer legs and shorter upper torso. How is the plane different ? That’s what I need to know
Well done alex 🏌♂️ 🙂 👍
Thank you Roy!!
Can you show me with two different players one width short legs and long upper torso and one with long legs and shorter upper torso. Does that affect the golf plane
I'll be giving this a go thanks, Alex! Let's see if it works
Love to hear that Jonny. Let me know how you get on!!
fabulous 👌
Thank you
So simple! That's what we're after! 👍
Thank you Papy!!! I hope this helps you. Please share with golfers if you can!!
I have such a hard time straightening the trail arm
Love this, can't wait to try this one out
Hope you enjoy it!

Hi!! Great question. Think of it this way. The upper half wants to chase the lower half in the downswing
Cool. But what if your a senior golfer? What if you can't rotate as much? What can I do? Thanks..
I will do this for sure will! The principles remain the same 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@AlexElliottGolf Thank you. Your video's are great..
Something for me to try at the driving range tomorrow. Thanks.
Let me know how you get on Alan+!

Hi alex
Can you show how to chip .i always hit it to soft
or chop into ball and flys across the green .
Hi Jason! Great question!! Keep your eyes on the channeln
Ah yes this is new, I have not seen any that mention the extend of right arm, but seems make sense.
got to try it
This is a fantastic drill! Now if the weather would just warm up so I could get out there and try it.
How long have you got to wait??

Do I do this with irons and wedges as well ?
yeah! please do try it with irons to
I'm skeptical but with all the good comments below, I have to give this a try at the range this afternoon. Will update my comment with my results.
Do we shallow like this with irons aswell ?
for sure please do try this with your irons too!
Cheers Alex
Does this apply to irons
Yes for sure!!!
AMG
Whoah!!!
I hope this helps dave

It is eye opening like taking the red pill in the matrix 😳
