Hey bud, I believe in one of your videos you spoke about where to look as well. On an iron look about 2.5 inches ahead of the ball. Driver about 3 inches behind. It worked excellently. This technique explains in detail why the look method works though. Excellent lesson as always. Hello from Texas!
@brianbarry5620 I'm not sure maybe it wasn't alex... but it took an easy 12 strokes off my game. And easily explains this technique in another way. Good luck bud!
Great video for consistency. I see when you move your feet I notice if your front foot moves 6 inches forward then your trail foot moves 6 inches forward. Thanks George
Edit: I tried and it worked sometimes and other were pulls left. Still chunking it ad well. Man am at a lost. I feel like I can't get any batter. I shot a 96 and I just feel stuck. Alex I need you to come to America and play a round with me and coach me !! Make it video lol. Please am desperate!!❤❤
The swinging 3/4 feel is a gem, so many times you see higher handicap golfers try to smash 7 bells out of an approach shot, instead of controlling the tempo and hitting the ball nicely into the middle of the green.
Great golfers strike the ball with the lead hand in front of the lead leg. The rest of us strike with the lead hand in front of our belly, or even worse, in front of the trailing leg. We fat, flip, and blade shots more than we strike them purely.
Alex I watched this yesterday and took it to the course today. Major improvement in ball striking and length. Dropped a full club for equivalent distance and improved accuracy. Thanks.
Im new to golf and stuggling with my irons. I played around at a simulater at one of my local golf stores and found out im very consistant at sending my balls about 20 - 30 yards off to the right of where I am aiming. Any idea what is causing this and how to fix it?
This is the easiest of all fixes. If I looked at your club data I am positive that you would have an out-to-in path and your face would be open 5+ degrees. The easiest way to solve this is to aim 20-30 yards to the left of target. Additionally you could start out with your face slightly closed at set up, drop your right foot a couple inches back, and play the ball further back in your stance. The answer the pga coach would tell you to do is to learn how to shallow the club but this is really hard for amateurs so I help all my friends by working around their swing instead of trying to teach them simmering that they won't adopt.
This is the answer if it's fade/slice thats causing the 20-30m but if its dead straight shot, it should mean that ball is too far back + face open@@davidkramer194
Hi Alex, I am looking forward to trying these tips. I have just started to feel that great contact but also fall back into over-the-top strikes that are so disappointing. I recently started back to golf after a 20 year hiatus and determined that what I thought was good form from prior golf experience is really just bad form. I’m trying to retool my entire swing and it’s starting to show promise and this video should help cement that pure swing. Any advice on stopping falling back into that old, bad form? Thanks for sharing these videos!

Exactly Mathew! Thank you for the support. I hope your golf is improving
Which video was that. I don’t get that at all

@@mathewmue5547 really aim 2 .5 in front of the ball. I just aim for the top
But thanks for the reply

Thank you so much !! Going to try this, this weekend. Cheers mate !!!
I use this thanks Alex slightly ahead of the other lady golfers
Another great video. Always something that’s an oh I get it moment! Just a thought though. Please remove the irritating background music.
You say that you move the ball back but, it is still ahead of your sternum. Is this correct?
Depends on the club you have but moving the ball back relative to the club in hand will help downwards hits
@@AlexElliottGolf Thank you.

Unleashing your Tom Saguto here Alex! This has been saved on my memory bar, it's the most essential tip for me! Cheers

Why isn’t the ball back in the stance a little bit for each of the irons? 3 through G?
I love hitting the ball then turd perfectly 😂😉 jk but need to try this out!
Another great video, food for thought as always.🙏
Alex I watched this yesterday and took it to the course today. Major improvement in ball striking and length. Dropped a full club for equivalent distance and improved accuracy. Thanks.
Great to hear!
Wouldn't you call that stack n tilt? 60/40 weight on left.... do you hit all your
Yeah you could do !
How does shaft lean factor into this?
It will help it. Ball back in stance promotes more
@@AlexElliottGolfwouldn’t pushing weight to your left leg also facilitate your hands getting ahead of the shaft

Won’t moving the ball back lead to push shots unless there is a compensatory mechanism to affect the club face?
Great knowledge
You can aim a little left with body or be more aware of CLUBFACE. Could even close at address slightly
Do you have a slightly "open" stance? If so, what is the benefit or is it just a matter of comfort?
Comfort for me and just helps me turn through
Great video. The use of a Hula Hoop really supplements your explanation well.
Glad it was helpful!
Also, try to aim your eyes at the front of the ball! Weight on the front leg, straight left arm too! Thanks Alex, good stuff!
Love this idea to Richard

Great question I will try and cover this in another video
@@AlexElliottGolf that would be very much appreciated! Keep doing great vids!
We are always being Told to hit down on the ball with irons, well what is the technique when uses a tee peg with an iron?
The same! Its only a small tee peg but exactly the same 👌🏼
