*The secret to speed that you never thought off!! 💨. I can’t wait for you to feel the speed*

went to the course today and kept this left shoulder thought and the results with all clubs was amazing. thank you so much for this left shoulder turn technique. Well done!!!

Another great tip and so well explained.

Awesome video Alex. This video is going to help so many new golfers that struggle. Thanks for what you donto help us recreational golfers. Cheers✌️

Happy to help thank you so much for the support

Professional people are mostly simple, clear & useful. TNX

Great video mate, i was told to feel like you are throwing a frisbee, which is basically the same thing. Have a great day mate and thanks for the daily uploads

Good stuff again! I really wish I could get a few lesson with you! The way you breakdown everything makes it so much easier and simpler.

I hope it helps

When the left shoulder moves up and to the left so does the things attached to it, or more specifically the hands, handle/grip, and rest of the club. That could potentially lead to pulls, pull-hooks, fades, and slices (the show me the palm part might reduce the chance of the fades and slices). Ernie Els used to use the thought of separating his left shoulder from his chin, so the tip seems along those lines. However, Ernie's move of separation was more parallel to the target which would be less likely to cause the leftward path.

Something I noticed in your video, and also watching the touring pros, is that at address, the shaft angle for full shots (regardless of club) is 45 degrees. Hold the club straight up from the ball, tilt the shaft toward you, adjust your stance but keep the tilt, and swing. Hope this makes sense. 😅⛳️

Thank you again Alex for a fantastic teaching lesson. Your lessons have been on fire!

Right, range this week for driver and I will feedback Alex!

New trackman range here. Tried it last week. My ball speed was only 110. 😢 I'll try this next range day.

Good lesson, Thank-you

You are welcome!

I like that you said that they are a mirror image because I responded and asked another PGA top 50 teacher and he said it wasn’t the same and is it OK if I feel like when my right arm comes back that I feel like I’m skipping a rock so I can extend both arms left and right maybe that is just what I feel

Thanks. These tips have helped my ball striking no end. Won the money in our swindle group yesterday! 👍

The next day the tip didn’t quite work on the range at first. Then I remembered another tip from Ben Hogan, which was to keep your elbows close together, and the magic returned! 👍

Thanks, I want to see how much I can cut my handicap this season by following your advice, I was off 24 all last season which was my first season as a member of a club 😊

I’ve been watching Alex for over a year. He’s done wonders for my game. However, I couldn’t discern what I was doing wrong with my set ups. I decided I needed a professional to help me with it. I went to 2 different pros. Each one had the same diagnosis. It was all in my head. I was tense and hyper-focused on form at set up. Once I quit thinking about my swing, I started hitting like I knew what I was doing. I’m a senior now, but I’ve played for almost 40 years. At one time, I was constantly in the low 90’s. I didn’t play as much for a few years. My average went to 120’s. What I was able to use from Alex cut 20+ strokes off my score . But I needed that one little correction. I plan to be shooting in the mid 80’s by fall. And Alex gets the credit. He’s a very good teacher!

Yeah for sure

I like the videos but I see you speak of right hand and your right arm making a swing, so is your left arm guiding your right arm? Just a question may I don’t really swing with my left arm. My left arm is always guiding me back and my right armis like skipping a rock. It helps me extend both arms. Is that wrong?

@AlexElliottGolf

4 ай бұрын

No i don’t see it being a major issue to be honest

Alex. If i understand this correctly, the left shoulder is pulling you into the proper rotation of the core, hips, and right shoulder follows thru to a perfect finish. Chicken wing disappears. Correct?

Yes - i mean, it’s not always as easy as that, but that’s the idea

Would you use this process for iron shots

@AlexElliottGolf

4 ай бұрын

Yeah

Alex, on the follow through would the left arm be pinned to your side, or very close to it, all the way after impact as you come around? I keep hearing contradictory things about this. Example, keep a glove under your left armpit. Others say the left arm should be pinned to pectoral muscle. It's so confusing.

@AlexElliottGolf

Yeah it should do!

My problem is that I wear bifocal glasses which cause me to tilt my head down further than most so that I’m not looking through the bifocal part of the lenses. It seems to be a problem getting my head up after the shot and clearing my head to make a full turn.

I heard a comment somewhere, either on Full Swing on Netflix or during commentary of a USPGA tournament, that a player used weighted clubs to improve his swingspeed. What is the theory behind this and could it actually work?

@AlexElliottGolf

4 ай бұрын

Yeah it could do!!

Coach, Your pro swing is so smooth and "compact", no unnecessary movements, the big muscles work together to generate speed. It's so hard to learn. And perhaps, difficult to pass on. Any solution? 😅

Hi! I will try and cover this in an upcoming video 🙌🏼

Alex, I don’t remember ever seeing what your swing speed is, particularly when you are demonstrating these slow or half speed swings . As a senior, I am lucky to get 75-80 mph. What kind of distance with my driver can I realistically expect?

Pretty close, 195 to 210 is a good drive for me these days. I have kind of given up on trying to build speed, instead concentrating on solid strikes

Excellent video. Explanation so clear and concise

Epiphany!

It went 236 yards because, yes the technique was good, but you're young, fit and athletic. Paige Spirinac (we all know her) is a very good golfer - when she absolutely throws herself at the ball, she carries driver 220-230. Physical limitations.

I presume this is for driver only since irons are a descending strike

Alex, last week you were promoting your hands in the middle of the grip,today you are gripping the back of the grip. Why the change ?
