Raising the heel helps weight shift and balance to have a golf swing sequence that has momentum and flow and not about the positions.
This in turn will give you a golf swing trigger that serves more than a purpose of starting the golf swing, but actually help the golf swing sequence to move correctly and with good tempo.

This is an extremely underrated tip. Takes the focus off all the swing thoughts of swing mechanics, arms, wrists, etc., and connects you to the ground! Love it! Well done mate! 👏🏻👏🏻
Much appreciated!!
Best swing tip ever
Glad you like it!
What I like about your blogs is that - I can feel your concern in you wanting/encouraging all your viewers in improving their swing/s and you wanting them to succeed! I will give this tip a go. but I do a squat on my backswing, but sometimes I can squat too much when playing into the wind resulting in a hook!
Thank you so much in helping my game this year and am sure you have helped many!
Why thank you kindly! Hope this helps!!
This really helped the overall balance in my swing and finish.
I have been looking for something like this for ages !! Cant wait to try it, Thanks
Great ! Well let us know how it goes :)
I used to watch the great Gene Littler play a lot in the 70's and he started his swing this way.
Didn’t know that but just found some clips! Nice !
Great video, Alex! Thanks! I'm trying to start my swing with the pivot instead of my usual early wrist set. This should help keep my arms and wrists more passive!
For sure!
Can’t wait to try this on my golf trip this week. Will let you know how it works out.
I like your videos.
Very glad to hear it thank you. Hope this one helps you on the trip ;)
I have used this before and its great . Such a good instructional video everybody should give this a try
Glad to hear it!!!

Saw this last night. After having eye surgery my game wasn't the same. Typed in for RUclips, Lost golf swing. Saw many lessons with right arm this, shoulder to ball, cock wrist like holding a plate...all just in the backswing. Then came across this and played today and WOW! No thought, putting the heel down just like key in ignition to start car. Normal scores are 89-95. I had an 81 with 1 double and boggie on the last 2 holes. Got fast ...too excited!
Bloody brilliant and exactly what it can do too!! Very well done and keep going;)
Thanks Alex. I find I actually watch the club going away from the ball! I used to dip too much, now my hip turn is probably too flat. Keep that flow going!
Yep, trail hip higher ;) keep at it
I know this is an old video but I've been incorporating this trigger and it really does sync your movements up.
I’ve been having this problem lately def will try this. End of last season I had that nice and free flowing and smooth swing but somewhere between the start of this season and now I lost it. Especially w driver! I was finally thinking that I had this game somewhat figured out and was hitting fairways consistently w no stress at the tee either. I was confident in my swing and the feel was so nice!!! Then I started lifting weights again and I believe that’s what got everything all cocked up lol.
You got this! Make sure you stretch and do agile moves in the gym. I train 4x a week if i can and it's not "golf specific" per say. But I do notice if i train hard and don't stretch or add some mobility moves etc.
I have problems freeze over the ball , I hope this drills help with that , I’m going try next round , thanks
Love the waggle and for what worth,I find the longer the backswing the harder it is to attain a solid strike.
I often talk about shorter swings for better results. We have a complete program called the short swing maximizer too. Cheers!
Yes! I recently shortened my back swing (many would say it's less than a 3/4 swing).
The result- gained 10-15 yards with irons, consistently hitting the middle of the club and really compressing the ball.
I hit much better with a half swing. Way more accurate and often better distance.
@@jeffreyyoungblood7438
Great name,one of my favorite "Coasters" songs.The more you practice and groove your shorter backswing the more you will like it.With me the short swing is necessary cause I'm a old dog.
Excellent tip. Tried it and it really helps the swing to flow smoothly. Many thanks Alex.
Excellent to hear!
Played in a tournament this weekend, and found myself standing over the ball seeming frozen and unable to fire. Such a great swing tip to help make sure that never happens again
We’ve all been there too often. Keep things moving and let me know how you get on
Great tip! Simple yet effective!
That’s the goal! Glad it resonated:)
I tried starting my backswing with my trail leg to sling back my upper body, hands and club, resulting to a more consistent ball strike. I can relate to what you’re demonstrating. Nice tip.
Excellent 🏌️♂️
I was having problems with starting the take away today. Great tip!
Let us know how it goes if you try this:)
Great tip. Love the simplicity 🏌️
Delighted to hear it!
Nice swing Alex. I have started my swing by small weight shift to the right (like Stenson, little smaller bump) and seems to get things moving. Stagnant set up brings on to many thoughts. Thanks for the tip on the hips being to level will keep that in mind on the range tomorrow.
Good stuff. ruclips.net/video/2MJEKBGGC00/видео.html might help too
I started doing the heel starter without even knowing it months ago. Helped my rhythm a lot
Well I’m delighted to re assured you :) 🏌️♂️👍
18 holes tomorrow morning ,can't wait to give that little step a go ! It feels very natural
Good and yes, let us know!
I like this tip. I am focusing on turning throu and taping heal down will help a lot.
It should help indeed ;)
Superb tip ... One of the biggest issues is the hip turn... That we do not turn it enough, triggers the root cause of "over the top" down swing.. will try it tomorrow
Yes indeed! Let me know how it goes!
I appreciate your videos, thank you.
I appreciate you watching them! Cheers
Do you struggle with starting your swing and takeaway consistently and smoothly? Let me know below 👇I appreciate you being here and part of our community;) Watch next ▶ Easy Set Up Tweak Makes The Golf Swing Easier ruclips.net/video/CTwjloA9kCI/видео.html
keen to try this as i have always had trouble pulling the trigger standing over it and to much focus on the back swing , so thank you for your tuition and look forward to seeing more of your videos 👍
@@tonynewell5712 let us know how it goes but you are more than welcome
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf feels great swinging in the back yard , so much more a flowing swing , take away starts as soon as for me my left heel touches the ground and gives me a so much better feel through the whole swing , really chomping at the bit to get out on the course with a golf ball in front me , will gladly report back when i get the chance to try it , thanks again !
Yes I struggle, because I can't relax enough before I start the swing. Always to stiff, I end up snatching the club away
@@courtneyroy270 give this a try and let us know how it goes;)
Will try this. I usually start with forward press, but like golf swings do some days I just hook everything. this made be more a lot more consistent.
The press can cause that for sure
Fabulous tip and simple method to start momentum
That’s the goal :) hope it helps
I don’t think about the take away very much, and this seems like it would be a good way to help coordinate things a little more consistently. I’m going to start practicing at home! Thank you for another great swing thought! I really appreciate them!!
More than welcome! Let us know if it helps when you put into action
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf tried it at the range today, and took a little time but it felt good to have something that starts my swing. Thank you for the great tip! I’ve been working on the hinge and hold chipping method too. I’ve been struggling and watched that video a couple days in a row and it is definitely helping too!
Simple golf but the instruction is like multi vitamin
Excellent and simple swing key!!!
That’s the idea ;) hope it helps
Saw this video last night so thought I would try it on the range today before I played golf. Like most golfers who have been playing a while although I can hit some great shots, my striking of the ball can be a bit inconsistent. Well I played a great round today, only duffed 1 shot. I shall continue to use this to start my swing, with one slight variation when my back heel goes down on the back swing I slightly raise my front heel and then put it back down before my downswing starts, works a treat. Thanks for the tips, love the channel.
Well done! And yes it’s perfectly fine to allow heel raise too! Keep at it Steve ;)
I've tinkered with that variation myself, & I like it. My problem is my golfing partners are ALWAYS spouting off advice at all my new techniques, I guess we all have that problem. Time to start telling them to {respectfully}SHUT THE HELL UP!! LOL
@@cgvagf There is always plenty of advice out there, you've got to go with what works for you. This resonated with me because I sometimes don't transfer Weight/pressure correctly and this seems to allow me to do it without having to think about it during my swing.
@@cgvagf yes!! Be you and let your strikes and scores do the talking:)
Great advice
Hope it helps Lenard!
Can’t wait to try this tomorrow, thanks for this…
🏌️♂️💪
Thanks. Good tip. Make sense.
Cheers and I’m sure it will help
Insightful. Thanks for sharing
My pleasure!
At 7:10, you talk about “feel the weight of the club”, which is good advice. I do this swing action, but I don’t just want to “feel the weight of the club”…I grip & swing it to “feel the weight of the club head”, instead! And then, in the actual swing, my thoughts go to “swing the handle” which flings the club head with speed! 👍
Sounds ideal!!
Look forward to trying it. Makes a lot of sense. I know my bad days I just cant seem to engage legs and get good back swing. This looks cool.
This should help exactly with that!!
Good Stuff Brother 👍🏼
Cheers and hope it helps ;)
I can be a good player but occasionally have horrible rounds where I just cant seem to find my rhythm. I watched this and took it to the range yesterday. It was awkward feeling at first and sometimes I struggled to get the pattern right but then with a few minutes of slow practice it started feeling like a flow was forming. The next thing I know Im watching beautiful high arching draws land down range. Taking it to the course today and Im hopeful it will help me hit more good shots out there.
As far as complaints about you talking too much...I think you do a great job. Your one of my favorites on RUclips
Well that’s excellent to hear ! Well done and please let me know how the round goes ;) and thanks for the support. If people 3 minute lessons, they can keep bouncing from tip to too never really understanding or getting better ;)
Creamed that shot Alex, maybe we can have a piece of that now 😊🇬🇧
Indeed ;) hope it helps !
HI Alex- Good video and raising right heel for me is a great idea to start the backswing. Trouble with slamming it down (or planting it) down for purposes of creating momentum - which is good- bit the bad part is that this action encourages or keeps both the weight and pressure on the right foot when you get to the top of the backswing. That is where I do not want to be. I want to be with the majority of weight on the front foot at the top not the rear foot so I just keep the heel up to the top that really helps in getting more weight onto the lead foot . This greatly facilitates transition to get into the slot on the way down. At the top the lead shoulder and lead hip is lower than the rear shoulder and rear hip. Great angle to come down into the ball accompanied by the appropriate amount of turn or pivot.
It's all about the transition and flow. Swing the clubhead and allow transition to happen before you complete your backswing. We have videos on this on YT and of course in Our Online Club
Best tip ever
It certainly can be :) 👍🏆
Simple, but brilliant.
Thanks and hope it helps!
I see Rory lift ground lift ground before starting I recently started hovering the club a few millimetres and this is really helping.
Excellent! We have a lesson on hovering each club too 👍🏌️♂️
Awesome video 👍
Thanks
The flat tuning on my hips is my key problem (I think) I have been thinking about it as a flat turn of the shoulders but it is better to start from the ground up to identify root causes. Thanks for the help!
Me too! Keep at it
I do the opposite and put pressure on the lead foot then back over to the trail. Helping with that sling shot feel. Like I used to do in my hockey days when hitting a slap shot.
That’s something I suggest a lot. Well done;) keep the momentum
Good tip!
🏌️♂️
Thanks!
Hope it helps! 👍🏌️♂️
Ur drill is my swing...starting with club in front .. great for rhythm and tempo...swinging like that for years ..never going back to the club on the ground
Interesting! Never seen anyone do it for real on the course. You be you and swing your swing! Well done!
I like this guy he keeps it simple 👍
I like you too! Thanks and that’s the goal:) 🏌️♂️🏆
Great stuff! Every time I focus on getting weight into my heels properly, the golf swing seems simple. The jumbled mess of thoughts goes away. Can you do a video on your thoughts about the action of the lead foot heel?
Good stuff! this might help ruclips.net/video/0zZPuO5DTkU/видео.html
Perfect drill👍🏌️👏
Cheers
Heading out to the driving range now to try this and see if I can get the take away to be more consistent for a more accurate swing.
this helps many.. let me know how it goes
Teacher is improving.😃
Hope you are too ;)
If tried this before but maybe lifted the heel to high! I like the lithe lift method and will give it some practice! Simple trigger that I think will be easy to implement! 🐊🏌🇵🇷🦅👍
Yes, subtle
Hi Alex great video. I've been doing this for many years and it really helps me from sucking the club/hands inside too early. On another point how is this morning after the Ryder Cup for an Englishman in USA?
Good to hear! And yes.. plenty of ribbing texts and emails and jabs from students today too lol.
But hey… we’ve won most of them in the last 20 years;)
Well heeled 👍👍👍
Nice
Very nice, simple action to initiate the backswing which i will start practicing. My bigger issue is that i am left handed playing golf right handed and find my self pulling through the ball and the back of my left hand tends to face the ball rather than to the hole… can you direct me to a video of yours that discusses squaring the club?
This should help… ruclips.net/video/ckHgiDE_WNk/видео.html
Also got a video on backhand release you can find.
Looks good
Hope it helps
I've tried a number of triggers to try to start my backswing however I never thought of lifting the right heal. I'll give it a go and let you know how I get on. My takeaway is my biggest problem when I'm addressing the ball, however if there is no ball I have no problem? I was once a single figure handicap player however now that I've got the "takeaway issue", my game is terrible! Sometimes I have to sway in order to move the club into the takeaway and you know what swaying does to a shot. Any other suggestions ?
I'm enjoying watching your channel - thank you.
Try this and come back to let us know how it went. Don't over do it or just do in practice/practice swings to start if feels odd
Ur Scaryin Me!
You must Be Reading my Mind on Standing over thinkin way to Much on the Takeaway.
Correct Hip Turn 👍
Will try the Heel Drill
Thanks
“I’ve been watching you” 😂 let us know how it goes!
I used to do a thing of lift my heel like this but on the backswing lift my lead heel up and plant it down and take a couple practice swings to just get a tempo. I have a thought that I haven’t seen much on but I felt something here lately with my swing. I’ve noticed my hands are closer to my body on the downswing. Can you do something on hands? Typical “over the top” I think is misconception of getting the club shallow. I can shallow and still chop the ball. I’ve started approaching the game as every swing the hands need to be low. That’s not really taught for over the top but it’s exactly what it is
Good! Yes, I Have a video on keep the hands low!
I tried this & my long game changed tremendously. It really syncs the body up n get the rhythm right. Any similar tips for chipping?
Can certainly work for pitching… chipping you want more weight on from side though. But even trigger the toes can help. Just feel in feet without raising
What about Arnie's key of pointing the left shoulder to the ball, would that be sufficient to starting the backswing if we are able to keep the arms connected? What I like about that is it also promotes (at least for me) the proper tilt?
We have a video on exactly that ! So yes I love that cue and feel for people. There is not one way ;) but a blend of them may help the flow
I curl my right toes up slightly, helps with my takeaway and pushes weight into right heel
Perfect!
Keep hitting my drives into the red tees so will give this a try.
It could help that ;)
I noticed your left foot is not exactly 12:00 straight,it's turned more at 11:00 o'clock but your right foot is at 12o clock. Is that the proper setup/address to take for irons and driver shots? I have always had my left foot at 12:00 and when I take away and finish my foot dramatically moves like Arnold palmer. I have seen your other vids very informative thanks
I tend to flare both out. But it depends da how the swing is feeling. If I prefer a little more lower body wind up resistance as it were, I will not have it flared out.
Lead foot always 11
I like this, but am having difficulty with balance with it. Any tips? I typically start with my hips for now.
Check point your heel or toe distrubution. Did a short video on this last week
!!!!ty
More than welcome
Does this help with driver as well?
Yes indeed it does!
I have done everything. My opinion is always changing. Right now I understand what you are saying but eventually these moves lead to disaster. Doing these little triggers I feel eventually lead to changing a good setup into being in a bad position as you continue a certain trigger. At this moment I’m with my man Jack by turning my head to the right and not changing my address position in any way. I just feel eventually these moves lead to being out of the correct posture angles
That can certainly work too
I wiggle my toes to start my swing. Similar idea and it works because the lower body is where it all must start.
That is a good feel and one we’ve covered before ;) keep at it !
Every time I watch Lee Westwood play and he addresses the ball, I’m screaming “swing the club!” He starts his club from a complete standstill and waits several seconds before starting his backswing, but it obviously works for him!
Oh for sure! But let’s not forget he has played full time golf for 30 years :)
They used to call this a "forward press". A lot of good players do this.Quite subtle.
Indeed
It took 5 and one half minutes to get to the point!
Some lessons need more indepth to embed the learning and to know if applicable. Folks bouncing from Quick tip after quick tip is part of the issue. If we had an in person or online lesson, we would not cover this is 4 minutes and send you on your way.
It’s a sequence thing that a golfer would need to practice repeatedly to put it in their golf swing DNA. Personally I am not good at this; but I see the merit for other to see if this repeated move works for them. But the fact is that in any great golfers backswing; pressure on the players trail heel has been shown through expensive electronics; however this occurs for them second nature and only for the briefest of moments. Cheers
Yeh this helps create a feel and awareness to perhaps get to the less visible version
Another possibility is to start the backswing with a slight bounce of the knees. And the downswing with another bounce, which will provide vertical force and effortless power.
Great 👍
Drag to Lag - Sustain the Lag. Homer Kelley. The Golfing Machine.
Nice ;)
When I am in my stance during my down swing I raise up I cant stay like I was at address, so bend at the knee's at address, bend is their at back swing and just before I hit the ball I am standing up. This drives me crazy.
Early extension.. we have lessons on that here on yt and our club membership
What kind of golf shoes are you wearing?
In image it’s adidas. In video Nike.
I always find the takeaway awkward but now I realize it’s because I’m too static. Great tip.
Many do… hope this gives a good feel and helps you ;)
This is interesting. Consistent with Shawn Clement’s philosophy of being in motion to let your body govern motion. From a static start, the tendency is to overthink it. I’m guilty!
Yes. Long time greats and teachers have focussed on movement.. It's how I learned to play, but the golf teaching industry damaged me many moons ago. So I'm on a mission to avoid that for you all :)_
3:10 Well said! Instruction is a bit too much about "hitting positions" and not a continuous motion (including address).
Thanks !
Can you add lifting the left heel on the backswing and slamming it down on the downswing?
Yes ! Absolutely!
👍
🏌️♂️💪
it's more important where the club is going when you start the backswing. this other stuff is all head games. would you forget to take the club back if you dont raise your foot
Swinging the club head is the most important thing. But this is to help folks break the bad habits
What works for me is to keep the club low without leaning forward or swaying back.
I like it
I freeze over the ball with too many swing thoughts. I don't complete the back swing. This has been happening for the past 4 years.
This and others we have on the topic should help!
Alex, nice post. This might be a gamechanger as I tend to get stuck at address. Question: This move seems to promote a more free turn of the hips. For a long time I have had the feeling that Nicklaus started his swing with a hip turn. See ruclips.net/video/DEnNPNNHhns/видео.html - What do you think?
Yes that can work and something I talk about in other videos.
