      Alex you made a video a while back that was essentially showing how to swing driver like you’re hitting it 50yds, then 100yds, and so on a so forth … do you remember the name of that video and where I can find it?

    Hi Alex, I love your progressions in all your drills. I was a Elite tennis teaching professional with the USPTA for over 40 years. You are one of the few golf pro instructors that use (stages) progressions in a real easy way for students to follow. Good for you and thanks for making golf easier to learn.

    Alex, your instructional videos are great. Thanks a bunch. I use your 'tee-in-the-butt-of-the-grip' drill everyday. It keeps the club pointing at me. My consistency is now amazing. I hit the ball more solidly. That drill also cured my back issues, which have plagued me for years. No more back pain. I believe my swing was getting in bad place, and then I was trying to correct on the downswing using a funky back twist. I had pain after hitting only about 15 balls. Now it is completely gone. I will incorporate taking the club back low as per this video. An oldtimer told me to do that 50 years ago, but I forgot, LOL.

    I've been playing golf for only 3 years, but like many of us here I absolutely love it and I have watched and searched many different golf videos on RUclips. You are the only I've seen explain everything in such a simple and easy-to-follow format. There are too many videos out there that get so dang complicated that you get lost in all of it. However, I have yet to get lost or confused in your videos. From a beginning golfer, I thank you very much!

    Have to tell you that I watched the video this morning and then went to golf. I am a 75 y/o lady who is always looking for ways to improve my game. I have quite bad arthritis in both hands, which often results in me losing control of the club. Today I hit a bucket of balls with the video and was quite pleased with the straight shots with distance. I then played and often found that I had some wonderful shots with your suggestion. Now, if onlly I could get the wedges to work as well lol lol. Thanks for taking the time to do these videos.

    I have been struggling with compressing my strike and took a lesson yesterday to get it worked out. Well I was not square to the ball and direction whatsoever and was offo by 30 degrees. After a correction to shoulders and hips, refined grip and proper distance to the ball, everything came together so nicely and feel much more confident now. This would be a great video for everyone
    Thanx for all of the instruction

    Fitting will also help greatly with dispersion. After a few videos about lie angle, I concluded my clubs were too flat. Had 7-GW bent just 1 degree upright. Amazing. Played 2 rounds in the 80's the next two days. 7 greens in reg each round, and 4-5 more within 5 yards of the green, hitting greens on par 3's from the teebox, and only one 3 putt because my approaches were better.

    I am working on this now. I am playing just about all irons in the middle of the stance. Long irons slightly past it. The key is though, you have to keep your weight from shifting left before you hit it. Or you will be pushing it or hooking it. Badly.

  • @handigolfer
    @handigolfer Год назад

    I have been using this for a while now myself, I got this tip from my very patient golf coach and friend, Kees, little different approach because of my physicality, for me, it was dropping my left shoulder towards the ball, bingo, As I am disabled in both arms, all my swing comes from my body, Right arm 75% paralyzed, nerve-damaged, left arm, fixed wrist, pin in ulnar, rebuilt elbow. That's (some of) my other handicap, my golf handicap is now down to 8 and I am 60.

    The stage two process is something I unfortunately do often and often causes a club drag catch on the grass behind the ball. Sometimes I can channel my inner tiger and step off but most of the time, I complete swing with a mistiming. What’s a good fix for that? Great video

  • @sjk1963
    @sjk1963 Год назад

    Hi Alex, I wonder if you have a drill for a guy who has golfed for 45 years and I have ingrained the notion of trying to hit the back of the ball rather than swinging through the ball and compressing it. As a result, my best shots are when I bottom out right at the ball and pick it clean rather than bottoming out beyond the ball and hitting it higher on the club face. My misses therefore are both fat and thin. I have tried drill after drill, but my eye sees the ball as the target rather than three inches in front of the ball as the target. Ideas?

It was like a little 3-4foot waggle back and forth a few times. and then fire. Normally only hit 3-4 GIRs. The other day I hit 10. Another went through the green,

Today I hit my worst score since I was a beginner at The Glades at Gold Coast in Queensland Australia. I am sixty six years young. I definitely need graphite shafts, but which brand of irons should I be looking for? My Handicap is 27.8 Do you have any suggestion?

I’ve not played for ages cos it was surgery, after surgery for years. I’ve now got two new hips, still back issues and knees and Back issues. I feel kinda scared to take a full blooded swing. I played with my sister and brother in law. I can’t write on hear as it’ll probably be taken down. I don’t and have never used a driver just my 3 wood. What’s the best way too get started again, oh and two Back surgeries, 4 shoulder surgeries and Yeo elbow surgeries. I’ve hit some half decent shots. But I just need pointing in the right direction.
