Great video discussing the differences we have with regards to what swings our club! I watch Fred Couples and he barely moves his hips on the backswing, but explodes the club to the ball. Brooke Henderson doesn't move a bunch in the backswing either, but we know she uses her arms, body and leg drive toward the target to generate massive speed and club head accuracy! Good stuff!
Everything you show is exactly what my instructor says as well. I was given that step drill to help sequencing. You explain way better though. So helpful thank you.
Always good tips to use on the range and practise Didn't work all the time but you definitely get the feeling. I like these videos are always short and concise which keeps the viewer engaged. Like the limited edition aerojet
I love watching your videos everyday. I do have hip issues both have been replaced so I mostly swing with arms but will try this and hopefully will help
Tried this at the range, hit 10 normal then used the drill took me 10 balls to get used to hit and bloody hell, was striping them.everything seemed to just come together.always seen backswing and downswing as two elements/two battles.But this merges them, must say my tempo is million times better.Added 15/20 yards easy.brilliant instructor Alex, your smashing it
Love your videos just found you that’s a great drill for iron swing was wondering if it would work for driver I am 70 and have a horrible problem leaning back with a driver?
Hello Alex enjoying all of your video proper techniques and “hacks like cheating tips” recently I had a video playing lesson on the course that took less then hour on what causes my miss a pulled shot. Which was phenomenal Can you demonstrate a routine on walking into the shot to set up your alignment and address position to your target line and any other issues from takeaway proper shoulder turn and the start of downswing that may help prevent this miss? Thanks regards Bobby G
It's very much each to their own. I hear a lot of 'start the downswing before you finish the backswing'. But go watch Zalatoris and Cam Young, they fully complete their backswing before beginning the downswing, and they're two of the biggest hitters in the game.
Hey Alex love the content, I play a lot of baseball/softball. I’ve been noticing whenever on my down swing I notice my left knee/foot keeps opening up like I’m hitting baseball/softball. What can I do to stop. ( if needed I could send you a video for more detail on my swing.) thanks
It's crazy you did this video, I was tinkering with the idea of making that drill my normal swing. We do that playing baseball, we step into the swing as the baseball bat is still back.
This drill is spot on alex, i use to try this drill mucking around after happy gilmore came out many moons ago. Not realising that it was good for swing and tempo. Awesome vid mate. Im thinking scottie scheffler for the masters,but good luck to all competitors
Great drill Alex. It's something I need to work. 👍 Think it might help with weight transfer as well, as I think I might be guilty of keeping my weight on the back foot
good stuff! golf is hitting a stationary ball so people act like robots... I did forever... now it much more reactionary... firing the hips while still in the back swing is key to getting the body to react... good stuff :-)
Hi Alex iv bin playing golf for about 6 months now. I take videos of my swing and iv just noticed that my Lead heal lifts in my contact with the ball? Help please
@@tripleputt Firstly I would say there is no substitute for lessons, for me they have been worth every penny. I'd rather have someone identify issues and give me drills to fix them before they become bad habits that are hard to get rid of. For early extension, have a look at Giles Gill's latest video. Also search for 'left hip back' youtube videos.
My swing consists of a slight pause at the top of the backswing. Then I feel like I’m throwing the club at the ball. While this may feel like the club is out of control it seems to provide maximum speed and the clubhead is mostly square at the ball.
this video made me laugh - not because i disagree with the advice or that i think it’s wrong, but because about 10 or so years ago i did this because it was the only way i could hit a driver. the owner of the range i was at told me off because he deemed it to be a happy gilmore shot.
I know some people want the explanation, but I bet most of your subscribers trust you, and wished (like I do) that your videos were 1 minute. Intro, do this drill for better tempo.
Bro, what are you doing? You are supposed to be a false light of hope teaching them endless worthless lessons! Just don't tell them about Bobby Jones, okay?
Decent video, but it feels like a copy of Danny Maude’s videos. Style, tone, mannerisms, lesson structure and examples all feel very “inspired by” Danny Maude videos.
@@AlexElliottGolf Danny Maude is an excellent Golf instructor on TH-cam with 1M subs. Your teaching style / videos struck me as very similar. Both of you make great stuff. Very helpful for hackers like me!
Hi Alex great content mate very true and this helps alot of golfers every handicap 👍🏌♂️👍 quick question for you mate do you have any tips to help me be in the correct height over ball I keep probably being lazy but hitting great irons but either slightly slice or hit good driver but only 3ft off floor HELP PLEASE ALEX 😤👍🏌♂️👍
You should have 10x more subscribers! Your tips are gold and better yet, straight to the point.
thanks so much!!

I love this drill so much! Right, I want to hear your picks for the masters 2023, so get down in the comments 👇🏼💭🔥

Palm tree crew, been watching your channel for quite a few years. I get a lot of help from it. I’m 79 Larry.

I literally ran outside to try this. Sequence immediately felt flowing and proper! Thanks Alex

Love it Alex!! 👍 👍 👏 👏 👏
Brilliant bud.Thanks Alex!
Great tip, Alex. Old school drill for getting weight forward does help sequence!
Excellent tip, Alex, simplicity in motion 👍
Great video, cheers Alex!!! 👏👏
This is amazing, great job brother!
You make everything so simple Alex I luv it 👍
Another great tip , thanks 👍👏👏
Love your videos just found you that’s a great drill for iron swing was wondering if it would work for driver I am 70 and have a horrible problem leaning back with a driver?
Another great tip, I say Rory takes it, new driver and the Scottie Cameron he is now using have raised his game to new level as of late.

My golf club is targeting April 27th for opening but I hope to take your tips to the range in next 2 weeks
GREAT, drill thx.
Thank you for another very helpful video.
That's a fantastic drill👍
Really great tip Alex. Made easier with the step drill👍👏👏
4:40 Hi Alex. Great vid’. This drill works very well for me. Why can’t I use it playing shots like that on the course? Best, Johan

Hi coach, which club do I use this drill? Which club did you use in the video ? Thanks
You can use iron or driver for this one!
Best tip yet Alex 😮 thank you 😊
Happy to help! Thank you so much blaze
Thanks for the tip!
No problem!
this definitely adds onto the hip drill from a few days ago.
Yes, the "fire the hips" golf instruction ended in the 2000's and thankfully so.
Great drill.
I love this drill
Well explained Alex 👍
Glad you liked it!
Nice concept 👍
Glad you think so!
I hv been a great cricketer, trying golfing
Awesome drill
I love love love your 5 minute videos! No BS and Great Great GREAT Tips! Now...who won the Aerojet Driver??? 😂
Hi Thomas’s! CHeck out the community page to see who won!!
I need to practice this one.
Let me know how you get on!!
It's crazy you did this video, I was tinkering with the idea of making that drill my normal swing. We do that playing baseball, we step into the swing as the baseball bat is still back.
Does this only apply to irons? Or is this something to try with driver as well?
I would say both!!
@@AlexElliottGolf thanks Alex! Keep up the great content!
My key, slow down! Easy tempo and you’re right it’s using our bodies natural balance mechanism. In any athletic movement footwork is so important
This drill is spot on alex, i use to try this drill mucking around after happy gilmore came out many moons ago. Not realising that it was good for swing and tempo.
Awesome vid mate. Im thinking scottie scheffler for the masters,but good luck to all competitors
thank you! and yes i can’t wait for it, he could be a good shout
I find that most takeaway swing videos it's hard not to develop a sway away prior to the rush forward and down, hell this is a hard game
Great drill Alex. It's something I need to work. 👍
Think it might help with weight transfer as well, as I think I might be guilty of keeping my weight on the back foot
very nice swing.
Can you actually do that on the golf course or is it against the rules to do a step motion?
Why is the ball so far to the rear of your final stance (instead of centered)?
Alex wonderful drill!! Please if you ever want to trade golf lessons for throwing lessons let me know😂
I would like to see Cam Smith win. Crazy not seeing him on tour
Easy explained great drill Alex thanks. Hatton for the masters 🏌️♂️
Got it, nice but my hips won't turn as quick as my hands, so I push the Grip forward and hit the ball thin, 😢
Give this a go!!
good stuff! golf is hitting a stationary ball so people act like robots... I did forever... now it much more reactionary... firing the hips while still in the back swing is key to getting the body to react... good stuff :-)
Thank you Chad! I hope this helps you!
Hi Alex iv bin playing golf for about 6 months now. I take videos of my swing and iv just noticed that my Lead heal lifts in my contact with the ball? Help please
Early extension.
@@dmac2573 how do I fix it? A new to all the golf talk 🙏
@@tripleputt Firstly I would say there is no substitute for lessons, for me they have been worth every penny. I'd rather have someone identify issues and give me drills to fix them before they become bad habits that are hard to get rid of.

Hi Michael it sounds like you are standing up in the downswing. Try and feel that left side of your hip opens up more
@AlexElliottGolf thank you very much driving range tomorrow it is. Amazing videos Alex 👍👍👍
Is Cam Smith invited? He's my choice. What a golfer! Cheers Alex.
I’ll be cheering foe Rory as usual.
Your right about Not wanting more of ONE thing. I have MORE bad shots than good. 😂🍻🇺🇲
Hey he’s got a point there!!…Maybe I should just start throwing the ball instead 🤔

Matthew Newton is also the name of an Australian actor.
Jon Rahm or victor Hovland
My pick is Tyrell hatton or I wish Joel Dahmen
After golf swing on netflix. Would love to see joel win a major. Good picks
Why not say backswing and forward swing, or upswing and downswing, not backswing and downswing?
I was just about to say Alex you never played baseball did you but you said you were never a good thrower😅
Happy Gilmore
I know some people want the explanation, but I bet most of your subscribers trust you, and wished (like I do) that your videos were 1 minute. Intro, do this drill for better tempo.
