Loved the ideas in this as I do play (and sometimes get stuck) in these situations, especially the tall grass. I use Calaway supersoft, but never get then to spin as I like. I'll give it another go now.
My friends son is using the chrome soft through winter.. he's only been playing a year and is 13. He's been on the course ever holiday and come down from 36 to 16! I play of 8 and never seen such a young lad spin and stop a ball the way he does! he has been a avid viewer of your channel throughout so keep up the good work and know the future is very bright.
HNY Alex - really enjoying your tips. This is something i do need to practice. With my SW I tend to do 2 things. 1 get right under it and it goes no where or 2 catch the ball with the leading edge, especially if playing from a tight hard lie with open face.
Alex.. without a doubt one of the best on you tube and Instagram. I’ve stopped following so many others now as a result. My preference for videos are : - how to create and keep hinge in backswing to avoid casting - short bump and runs without thining it - top tips to consistently break 90 Be it game management or simple technical errors you see Thanks in advance Great work
Hi Alex, been following for a while now and your toes have helped me drop several strikes on my score. I need some hemp on becoming more consistence with my contact. Any tips here?
Great video Alex . I play golf on a budget so cant really afford the big name golf balls at £45 a dozen. A friend of a friend recommend me to try Wilson duo Professional golf balls . I have been using them the last 6 months .I just love these golf balls . They are a 3 piece urethane golf ball . Great distance great control around the greens feel really nice of the putter .The best part is they are £27 a dozen .
Thinking more about the bounce of the club zipping across the ground under the ball instead of the face of the club striking the ball precisely helps my brain visualize what is going to happen.
HI Alex new to golf, love your tips really help me , in my bag I have a p wedge 43d and a s wedge 54d what would be the best to add to my bag to help around the greens ? Cheers and keep up the good work
I use the vovik vivid golf ball. I thought this ball was soft enough, but I'm not getting the spin with my 56 degree wedge. Could it be the ball choice.?
Thanks Alex for more great advice 👍, am a 20 handicap and keep pushing my irons to the right, I say push as the ball is flying straight, many thanks in advance
Thanks Alex, been looking for this exact type of shot to get in the bag. My biggest problem is just off the green hitting a chip, the ball never stops 😂
Can't wait to try this Alex. I used to use the Callaway Chrome Soft, but playing Kirkland balls for last 2 seasons. Love them. Would love to see some midiron swing techniques, especially for proper release. Pull my midirons a lot. Keep them coming friend.
Happy New Year 2022 Alex , i need to improve my distance on long irons (i6 , i5 , i4) , can you help ? Currently my i6 is only 150m , my i5 is 160m & my i4 is 170m ☹️
I have been playing the Titleist NXT Tour. I seem to do okay with them. At 63 I can still drive 270 on a really good shot. Although that has somewhat to do with changing my driver to one which I can adjust loft and draw. I have tried some with an even softer cover for spin but it really killed my distance.
Hi! Is the bounce of the wedge important to spinning the ball? I play with a 10 degrees bounce 60 degrees wedge. Can I shot a flow shot with that wedge?
this could well be your set up, and you aren’t doing this right for the tee shots. Give this video a watch and this may help you th-cam.com/video/tAaCWXJBk20/w-d-xo.html
Thanks Alex. When you see pros hitting a low spinning wedge shot are they using a high loft. Something from 20 or 30 yards away. Throw it all the way back to pin, checks and rolls out. Is this the same? Thanks!
@@AlexElliottGolf Thanks Alex. Appreciate your videos. You may have done this in other videos I missed but more on how the pros putt with slow motion video etc. Technique, release of putter head or not, tempo, long back/short through or just whatever is the current science/best technique. Think it is a mystery how the pros make 90% inside 10 feet when putting well. Thanks for the great content.
Hi Alex. Awesome tips and great channel. I wonder if you can help me..I'm a single figure handicap, and my last 3 rounds, I've hit 7 shanks! They seem to have come out of nowhere! I've hit them with a 1 iron down to lob wedge. My confidence has plummeted! Any ideas would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
Great video, would like some anxiety over shots advice, tension ruins my short game, stiff arms etc. Usually a Callway Chromesoft, but this winter a yellow Srixon q-star.
You need to create a mind mantra that you can repeat to yourself over and over while setting up and playing the shot. Once you have lined up and gauged the distance. Try " relax, straight back, straight through"
Hi Alex. I guess i am out of luck since i have opposite of everything you just mentioned 😁 cos i only have a 52 degree SW and using cheap hard shell golf balls. But at least now i can try to practice using your technique and setup to see if i can get any spin or not. Thank you for great drills!
Very informative video. My problem on shots 50 yards or in is that I have develop the yips. No problem when I'm practicing but when it matters the dreaded yip comes out. Do you have any piece of advice that could help with this?
Hi Alex. Great explanation. I’m currently a 7 that off the tee is at best a 12. Keep hooking the ball and can’t figure out why other than I know I’m swinging too flat around the body. What else can I do besides swinging more over the top?
@@AlexElliottGolf Just under two years. I haven't really gotten it to spin except of course when I don't want it to spin. I stopped using it for a while but would like to have a more spinny club, rather than putting through the fringe.
Great video and instructions as at Alex Happy ,Healthy 2022 to you and yours and all your subscribers now should I use my sand wedge for tight lies or PW and I seem to get better results when I hit the ball off my front foot 🤷♂️ but I’m not consistent if I strike the ball well I usually hit the ball too far HELP PLEASE
So if I’m making the correct implications here if your on the fairway or fringe you have the ability to do a high spin pitch of flop shot. If your in the rough switch to chipping.
Hello Alex. Thank you so much for the tips! I was hoping to get your advice on one of my biggest problems. With my driver, I keep hooking the ball to the left. I sprayed my club face multiple times and I keep hitting it on the heel. Any advice?
Hi Alex Another great video. My problem is shanking high loft irons and losing confidence which means I going more for pitch and run shots. Can you do a lesson sometime to suggest a solution to this problem
@@AlexElliottGolf can't really make up my mind as I like both for their feel with the putter. I play an 18 hole Par 3 small town Victorian country course which hosts the state championships. It has small elevated greens(not a lot of great lies) and mostly short and mid range pitch and chip shots.
Chipping Is the second easiest technique / swing to fix behind putting. People just don't practice enough. With all the videos out there including this little gem golfers have no excuse not to get better. Chipping practice is fun and can easily be done in you back yard.
Hi Alex, an awesome topic. Thank you as I do need your advice. I’m wanting to add two, maybe 3 wedges to my set and simply get confused with all the numbers. Price isn’t an issue and as I don’t use a couple of clubs in my set I can make room and substitute. Currently have 1, 3, 5, woods (I don’t use the 3). Two hybrids, a 4 and 5 (don’t really use the 4). Irons are 6 to SW. What should I be looking in degrees with wedges (possibly with just a SB). Do I go with a 50, 54 and 58 (for 3) or perhaps a 56 and 60. I’m completely confused and after a recent discussion with my home course PGA club pro I’m even more confused. Please help. Thanks in advance and keep up my favourite start to the day with a coffee. 👍😎🇦🇺
Yeah it’s a topic that everyone has different opinions on, it depends what you feel you would use most and benefit you. Personally… i would say 50,54,58 but that’s just me !

Hello Alex. Love your videos. I’m struggling with my downswing by lifting my left shoulder up too early and fatting/chunking/slicing the ball. Any tips you could give me. Pete the chef
Just don't trying to do this with firm greens in the middle of summer. It won't look like that. Receptive greens are big factor in the amount of check you are going to be able to get once the ball hits the green.

Alex, I have an older set of Mizuno irons with a PW and SW. How can I determine the loft and bounce on them?
i think sometimes it’s going back to basics with trial and error
Thinking more about the bounce of the club zipping across the ground under the ball instead of the face of the club striking the ball precisely helps my brain visualize what is going to happen.
What produces the dreaded s word on short pitches and chips? Thanks
Don’t mention it 🤣🤣 essentially getting closer to the golf ball at impact with the Hands
