    If I was asking you to throw something, you wouldn't think about throwing in a one piece takeaway. You would just feel the weight. Don't worry so much about specific placements from inch to inch to inch. It's just about starting it in motion and getting us in a place that we can launch ourselves from to be able to get the ground, to be able to get the width. And you don't have to be a super athlete. You don't have to try and practice for hours and hours to get this perfect sort of takeaway.

    Yesterday I tried your tip of setting up like I'm going to hit it off the toe about 1-2 inches behind the ball. The results were staggering. I'm a single digit and never thought of this in my 5 decades of playing. I was astounded by the results. I didn't have to change anything. After four holes my confidence began to soar along with my drives. Thank you so very much.

      I have to reply to my own comment from 9 days ago. I have played 4 times since then and have never been this consistent off the tee. My confidence is high on my drives and that same confidence carries over to the rest of my game. I'm having a great time. Golf is always fun, but now it's even more fun! I'm really glad I found your video, thank you.

      We should do a video on it.
      Also might work to say inches instead of feet on the green. “I rarely miss from 36 (inches) and in.”
      I missed 3 putts for birdie today but they were all around 127 though.

    4th year player here... Steps #1 & #2 are by far the best golf advice I've found on the internet. Overnight... face contact, launch angle and shot shape with my driver have all massively improved. That tip about setting the club up "they way it was designed" instantly made me clearly understand how a driver actually works and how to adjust my swing to get great drives. Thank you so much !!!

    I began taking golf more seriously just a year ago. I began taking lessons, practicing multiple times a week and invested in my equipment. And of all the tips and techniques I learned, perhaps the most valuable was what Alex mentions at the beginning of this video, when he talks about where on the face of the driver is impact happening. I used foot spray to observe my strikes in practice and also clean my clubs between rounds and practice sessions, so I can see each impact more clearly. I've gone from a guy who was happy to break 100, to shooting in the 78-85 range consistently in less than one calendar year. I've done a lot of other things, I've become a much better putter for example, but I've also added 30-40 yards to my drives and hitting it in the sweet spot 95+% of the time is a big reason for my improvement!

    I'm a 3 hcap and have been struggling a bit of the tee of late with pulls and pushes and a general malaise off the tee. I watched this vid and put the driver aim toe setup in practice today around 18 holes. Quite simply, even when I thought I previously was catching it well, I was wrong. This tip has probably added a straight 30-40 yards and given me so much confidence off the tee. It WORKS!! Thanks Alex :)

    Put all 3 of these tips into practice last night and it was like a lightbulb went off!
    The thumbs up swing thought is the missing piece for me.
    I was so busy trying to keep my lead wrist flat I wasn’t hinging my wrist in the backswing.
    Drive after drive I felt in complete control of my driver.

    I have to admit i was a skeptic of our advice but having struggled with hitting the driver straight and far I was willing to try anything. I went out yesterday and the 1st hole i hit my driver and lo and behold I had the same results as before. Hole 2 same results. On the 3rd I focused more on the setup and made sure to keep the thumbs up and what do you know, I hit it straight and far. I hit it 270. Hole 4 (par 5) setup, stance, thumbs up. Oh my another drive of about 280. I haven't hit two drives that straight and far all season. Another par 5 on the 7th, WTH... another straight drive almost 290? I'm 58 and was hitting 200/220 all season with an occasional 250. Now I need to make sure I repeat these tips every time I play, but I can't thank you enough for the simple tips.

    If you address the ball with the driver elevated in the center, drop it to the ground it will natural fall where it is supposed to be. --Slightly towards the toe. Give it a try

      Agreed... hover sweet spot , exhale and allow driver to drop down and back a bit. It will be well inside the ball and hopefully end up at Driver low point.
      The exhale relaxes the body and the toe setup will be compensated by the swing force straightening and lengthening the arm club unit to provide a centred upward strike.

    Thanks Alex - excellent. Just to be clear, is driver the only full shot we don't shift body weight fwd to 'post' over lead leg at/after impact?

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  6 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Thank you so much for your kind words! I really appreciate your support. To answer your question, the driver is indeed one of the shots where you don't necessarily have to shift your body weight fully forward. It's all about finding the right balance and technique for each shot. But driver still shifts but often the feelling iof posting back and around helps

    Alex, great tips! Question: would you recommend thumbs up with irons as well in the downswing through impact?

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  ปีที่แล้ว

      Maybe It depends on your strikes. If you push and cut irons mostly. Or early extend it can do wonders. Test it out for sure !

    I only looked at the thumbnail and I knew, straight away, what power leak you are referring to. I can confirm that I picked up at least 30 yards by not having the tip of my finger on the ball, at address.

      Glad to hear it and well done for giving this a test out. Be wary with 3 wood though as we don’t hit up on it like a driver. But… test it as it may help your path if needed. 🏌️‍♂️👍

    This would take some getting use too. Currently the only way I can hit my driver is by setup the face completely past the ball and turned closed about 45 degrees.. 275ish yards and a slight draw but it seems to work ok for now

    • @TheArtofSimpleGolf
      @TheArtofSimpleGolf  ปีที่แล้ว

      That sounds like a big compensation for opening the face too much in swing. Work on wrist move to turn the club head over
