Just had my second lesson and this was the big takeaway. It's an amazing moment when it clicks and you can see immediate results. Low hands all the way through past impact help finishing posture, strike, and path. Great tip.
Wow, I went to the range today after watching this clip 5 times last night, honestly I couldn't believe the difference using the low hands drill, weather 6 degrees, 43 farenheight, wind chill made it feel like minus 4 according to my phone, and it was straight into my face. I normally hit in normal conditions on the range using their range ball's with my wedge 100 9 around 120 and 7 around 140. I replayed the video to remind me of the action and drill, bingo, couldn't believe it, my first wedge flew the 100 yard marker, same again with the next 4, up to 9 iron, same again, flying 10 yards further, then on to 7 iron, all around the 150 marker, the biggest difference I noticed was the flight, the ball flight despite the cold wind were penetrating, I got to say this low hands drill is the best drill I've ever tried, no complex swing thoughts, just keep hands low, and it actually felt effortless and so much more in balance, can't wait to try it out on the course. Highly recommend drill.
Spot on advice. I discovered on the range yesterday by accident that keeping my hands low past impact produced better strikes but it also helped me maintain my posture. Previously my hands were rising up too early and causing me to lose my posture causing the shaft to get too vertical and opening the club face resulting in weak low and right shots. This really works. Thanks for reinforcing what I discovered accidentally on the range
Ive been trying this for last month and has totally transformed my game. Gone from a 14 to a 9. Biggest difference has been wit my wedges and chipping round the green. Has made my contact and accuracy super consistent where im consistently chipping to within 5 ft. Also kept same concept with my putter and seems to be such a more consistent strike off face everytime. Amazing how such a little tip can transform your game, but thats golf in a nutshell
Marvelous!!! And really glad you shared that with us all. It is a game changer and a solid fundamental feel for many. Keep at it

This explains exactly what I´ve been doing for last 2 weeks. For some reason I got thought to my iron swings "What if I try to feel like I keep hands lower through out my swing?..." Well the rest is "history" =). I hit pure irons, can easily shape ball left and right, high and low. Now I just made search in TH-cam about "keeping hands low in golf swing" and found this video. This explains everything! I have had bad tendency for whole summer to hit thin shots but now with "hands low" idea everything is pure.
Exactly what I needed. I was a club pro back in the 1900's. I left golf for about 20 years and am just getting back. I felt like I did a lot of things right, but needed to take a series of lessons to actually start doing things right. My old duffer days habits had found me. The one thing we had not been able to fix is the fact that my clubs (3 degrees upright over my old set of ping blue dots 1 degree up) had an elusive sweet spot. We tried all kinds of things and watched all the video and pressure plate stuff but I hit everything at 20 mm to the toe, even with overly upright clubs. I could line the ball up with the hosel and still hit the toe. I was thinking shaft droop and started to have doubts about my new Titleist T200s. Not good!! I went to a club fitter and we spent 90 minutes in the fitting bay, but within the first 5 minutes he said I raise my hands through impact. He could just see it. We worked on some drills and sure enough, I started getting within a few mm of the center of the club face. Your video just cements that whole thing and I will use your drills to groove this in. Would you recommend the same thing for fairway woods and drivers, or is the dynamic a little different? I'm struggling with them too but do not want to create new issues. Keep up the great work sir!
Welcome back to this crazy game!! A part of what you must do is allow your body to move freely.. some tweaks can help a lot without sacrificing strikes or distance. I’m glad the lesson resonated with you and helped affirm what the chap saw in the fitting ! I do think you can do it for woods too. Sweeping is great 👍
I searched for this vid as had seen it before and i needed to affirm that i should be keeping my hands lower. Ive been trying to improve my ball contact and turn but struggled. I could feel myself casting but still topping the ball, and here you clarify why.....in fact i recently started topping on the heel end of irons so i knew something was wrong. Thanks again.
I figured out this technique at the end of a round and then brought it to the range yesterday. Feels like an absolute game changer. Found this video in order to confirm my discover. I often find tips to help my swing that don’t always work but this seem to help all types of shots and overall consistency.
This low hands drill is absolutely fantastic. I am a five handicap that struggles with solid iron contact and I am saved by my driver and short game. I normally hit about 6 greens per round in regulation and my up and down percentage is about 80%. I went to the range yesterday, threw an alignment stick in the dirt and five swings later I could feel a high hands impact vs. a low hands impact.
This is great to hear! Well done. It really does provide so many benefits and it’s costly easy to “feel” and replicate without too much thought. It’s one that many good players have to come back too especially if trying so hard to get speed.
I tried this and it really helps with my tendency to lift up in the downswing, leading to thin shots and a sore back! this feels good and is easy to do. focusing on pushing down is easier than trying to keep the right posture, which happens more automatically. once i push down I can still fire the hips for more power. I am not sure this is right for everyone, but certainly for me! Thank you!
Hi Alex. Love all your videos, but after consistently hitting my driver on the down I videoed myself face on and realised my hands were really high and forward at impact. I found this lesson of yours and it was a Eureka moment for me. Since then, I've been following your advice on how to keep the hands low and it's transformed my game, giving me more consistency and distance! Thanks so much and keep up the good work!!
This thought has really helped me a lot... one other thing in combination that has helped too... feeling that the hands are close to the knees AND low.. almost like they are swinging under the knees and the arms will hit the knees. The body just moves out of the way naturally and the body also naturally stays in posture. I don't know why but less effort also seems to send the ball further.
Same feeling, but when you watch it on camera I'm completely.on plane it's a trip, especially with driver, it feels like the clubhead is dragging around my feet the entire time
This is my go to 👍 I have a similar habit to your mate but mine is more I get my whole body moving way ahead of the ball coming down and have to catch up with the hands the same way to not miss the ball! This low hands feeling helps me stay over the ball and not lunge at it… as much!
Ironically I've found that this also helps me with regard to hitting the ball fat as well. I don't throw the clubhead at the ball the way I did when my hands were higher. Great lesson, cheers.
I tried this exercise and immediately it reminded me of a long forgotten similar exercise. I think the main feeling is one where you feel the butt of the grip is pointing down to the ball at the start of the downswing. Regardless of that, I used the exercise and honestly it made a huge difference specially with driver which I’ve been troubled with. Thanks very much for this one, it is the One I’ve been looking for to get me back on the road to recovery.
What a great tip and a fantastic feel, I have recently been struggling getting into the slot. This simple tip has transformed my plain on the downswing, looking back on video from practice sessions I am much the same as your playing partner. I think for me this was born from the obsession of achieving shaft lean at impact. Thank you Alex.
That's a great tip I'll need to incorporate into my practice session and see if that helps my striking. In both what he was doing and even in your demo of keeping the hands low, if my hands get that close to the ball with the clubhead where you have it, it's a shank for sure as I have really slow hands it seems and no way can I get the club squared that fast. I've got work on that for sure. Thanks for the tip.
How do you not have 1M+ subscribers. I wish you were in Texas so I could get just a couple of lessons. I feel like my game is on the verge of a major breakthrough.
Really like the way you explain things! after 9 months of building my swing from ground up and getting rid of massive early extension I am still struggling with my hands moving away from me and steepening the shaft angle on the way down creating very consistent toe down strikes. As a result I'm striking it poorly, loosing a lot of distance and hitting weird shots (draws out the heel) as i try and save or engineer the shot with my hands. I am trying to keep my hands lower on the downswing and through impact to create a more solid path and strike pattern. Its really hard undoing it! I'm hoping this drill will help, with the feel, thank you!
Really good stuff. Believe it or not there is a well known instructor on TH-cam (I won't name him) who frequently talks about "getting your right elbow in front of your hip" before impact - which pretty much puts you in the position your friend found so difficult to play from. Your ideas are actually sensible, which is rare in golf. Well done. 👍
I put a tarp up in my basement, and put a driving range may so I can practice all year long. Costs 150 bucks for the mat, and 10 bucks for the canvas tarp. I would see if you have enough room in any room you have and try that! I'm gunna be hitting the courses in shape when they open!
"Getting" this was a key factor in getting down from 11hcp to 4. As well as the palms down dill Key for me was learning how to load the right arm in sequence hand /elbow/arm/shoulder leading to "waiters tray" and palm away "hand off" on downswing. Get this and you may feel you are petting a dog (a small one!) through impact or you are swinging a paint brush! and painting a line or if you really get it and are dynamic, striking a match.
Like the pet the dog to the match analogy! I think maybe the late John jacobs used those. Might be wrong though. But yep, even in the lesson I mention, the results were instant and a few weeks after, they are still there. It can help a great deal of golfers... and the best thing?... it’s simple :) Keep at it and enjoying:)
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf Strike the match is from the great Gary Player but if youre not that dynamic the paint brush painting the target line is a good thought and works for putting too!
Annoyingly I saw this a year ago and found it really worked. Trouble was I spent so much effort on my backswing shape that I then forgot low hands and found I couldn't get thru after downswing. Don't know if this common but I find that every time I try a new tip and it works, I find I forget about a couple of tips I learned months before. "learn a tip / forget a tip" drives me mad.... Esp out on the course. Cheers.
I keep coming back to this as one of the few tips that actually help me "release" the club naturally. I tend to handle drag or leave the face open if my hands aren't low.
Thanks Alex. When one does the “low hands” feeling thru impact do you recommend knuckles down to avoid blocking the ball to the right for the right handed golfer? Thanks!
I like the concept of getting hands low through impact the only thing I’m fighting is how do you shallow club while doing that, if hands go low wouldn’t that steepen shaft ?
I shallow the club but my hands chop down. I usually over the top but with a hook instead of a slice, due to club manipulation. Lower hands is the key I believe to stop over the top. Trying to do it in a way that doesn’t redirect power.
At marker 4:20 I think this goes against to one of your other videos. That video instructs us to keep the Rt elbow tucked to our side which creates lag. Only a driving range will let me see which lesson works better.
I get my game to a point where I’m hitting my 7 190 yards. I can get my 3 wood 260. I can get my 4 iron 230 etc.. but then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere. My 7 iron starts going 150 in the air. I start pushing everything right. My effortless draw just disappears. Everything gets more spinny. I start losing my piercing ball flight. This happened to me last year and lasted like 10 months. When I got my game back and things clicked again, and I starting striking the ball correctly, I almost started crying because I had thought I lost it forever. It happened when I started lifting weights and I got stiff. I started lifting weights again after a long break a couple weeks ago. My game is once again in shambles. Please GOD (and any human being that could help me) do not let me go through this again. Golf is the only game, where you can figure out how to remedy something, and then you forget how to remedy it a year later. I improve and improve and improve to where I shoot close to par every year, then I lose it all. It’s about enough to want to quit sometimes.
All too common a frustration I’m afraid. You need to ensure you stay agile and stretch. Very important if you are doing regular type weight training. And you need to focus more on reacting to your target not about making a swing.
My right hand seems to want to separate on the back swing, coming away from my left thumb, and this results in bad contact. Any thoughts on this? thanks
Could well be too much internal rotation with right arm… feel the right arm (after you get to hip height) externally rotate. We have a drill recently on no getting cramped. Right arm fold
That is a feel that works but it’s hard to do that and strike swing through and make it about a target too Just a general feel is what this is about. Actually have a follow up video to this coming in near future
Yes... but You still must have a shift to lead side and if the movement is going through. You can’t just push down. It’s brushing and then posting up on the lead leg.
Other people have asked similar... got to just keep moving through and stand talk after impact. It’s the pull through that makes the great strikes and just ensuring do feel the angle in back of right wrist into impact
Greetings from Pakistani .. regarding this lesson should I pull my hands down or bring my shoulder down and strike the ball with my right hand or shoulder.. regards

had a similar epiphany on the course today and came online to see what the theory was behind it! Great lesson thanks
Thanks for great insight into improving my swing Heading out to backyard n work on lowering my hands
You bet!
Great Tip. This will certainly improve your golf
Thanks Alex, I am gonna try this since I have a tendency to top the ball with my irons.
Let me know how you get on
Thanks Alex I'll give it a try ,I'm exactly like your mate Chris ,it all looks good but doesn't deliver the goods consistently 👍🤞

That’s great to hear!!
Keegan Bradley comes to mind. Going to focus on low hands tomorrow.
He’s very low at set up. It’s a different feel... more so in the Transition and through impact
Thank you! I needed that!
Glad it was helpful!
Thank you, will practice this
Good stuff

After all the years I’ve played and lessons I have taken this is the very first time anyone has told me to keep my hands low! Can’t wait to try it .
@@jamesmack6364 excellent and let us know!
Good stuff in this video.
Glad to hear it :)
I really enjoy your video's..............thanks!
I like the concept of getting hands low through impact the only thing I’m fighting is how do you shallow club while doing that, if hands go low wouldn’t that steepen shaft ?
It depends on how you get there but it shouldn’t.
This lesson is great, better shots and distance. Can you help with the follow through. I fill tight in back and hard to stand tall.
We have other videos to help that. Look at push the ball video
I shallow the club but my hands chop down. I usually over the top but with a hook instead of a slice, due to club manipulation. Lower hands is the key I believe to stop over the top. Trying to do it in a way that doesn’t redirect power.
That sounds good to me
Great drill Alex! Can you do the same for a driver? Cheers!
Yes indeed! Set up change is key. Sorry for slow reply !
Great tips
Hope they’re helping sir
Super great tip. Thanks!
Cheers and hope they help:)
wow, great lesson, thanks
You are welcome!
I have always had a high handle at impact that caused a two way miss and poor strikes. This video finally made things click for me.
great and let us know how it goes too
great advice
Cheers!
At marker 4:20 I think this goes against to one of your other videos. That video instructs us to keep the Rt elbow tucked to our side which creates lag. Only a driving range will let me see which lesson works better.
Ah yes. It’s more about the elbow pointing down rather than it “tucked in”
Great video
Cheers
Thanks
Thank you kindly
assume this holds for driver too, which is obviously a longer club and a bit trickier to swing through in sync than irons.
Exactly right. It’s so beneficial for driver and helps the syncing
I get my game to a point where I’m hitting my 7 190 yards. I can get my 3 wood 260. I can get my 4 iron 230 etc.. but then, all of a sudden, out of nowhere. My 7 iron starts going 150 in the air. I start pushing everything right. My effortless draw just disappears. Everything gets more spinny. I start losing my piercing ball flight. This happened to me last year and lasted like 10 months. When I got my game back and things clicked again, and I starting striking the ball correctly, I almost started crying because I had thought I lost it forever. It happened when I started lifting weights and I got stiff. I started lifting weights again after a long break a couple weeks ago. My game is once again in shambles. Please GOD (and any human being that could help me) do not let me go through this again. Golf is the only game, where you can figure out how to remedy something, and then you forget how to remedy it a year later. I improve and improve and improve to where I shoot close to par every year, then I lose it all. It’s about enough to want to quit sometimes.
All too common a frustration I’m afraid.
You need to ensure you stay agile and stretch. Very important if you are doing regular type weight training.
And you need to focus more on reacting to your target not about making a swing.
Do you recommend the same drill with the driver or just iron. My problem is with driver I’m hitting like a iron. No height and speed.
It’s all about the set up. Speed release video will help. Reverse k set up and extend arms in release
Hi Alex. Can this hands low action counteract over the top issues
Great video , can i ask does this tip reduce your lag etc ??
Not at all. Can help more. Keep supple wrists and should work well
Nice one..!
Johnny Miller always referred to Byron Nelson as a 'low hands player'. 😺
Are you sure you're not related to Davis Riley? This was a brilliant video! Thanks for the tip
Will this concept of low hands through the hitting zone work with high hands at the top of the swing to increase distance?
Keeping the hand low means to unlock the right elbow with out dragging further inside the body ?i
That is one way to see it. 🏌️♂️
Yes!
Good!!
Thank you! Cheers!
beautiful!!
Lower by straightening the right arm on the way down?
Yes at same time as moving body round
We can apply this to driver too?
I'm sorry to be so late in responding.. sometimes they get lost as get hundreds a day:(
Anyway, yes!
My right hand seems to want to separate on the back swing, coming away from my left thumb, and this results in bad contact. Any thoughts on this? thanks
Could well be too much internal rotation with right arm… feel the right arm (after you get to hip height) externally rotate. We have a drill recently on no getting cramped. Right arm fold
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf that makes sense, I will look for the drill, thanks for replying
Maybe have right hand grip more on top and firmer. Let the right guide the left
I think you should have mentioned in this video of how to get your hands low is from the unbending of your right arm in the downswing
That is a feel that works but it’s hard to do that and strike swing through and make it about a target too
Just a general feel is what this is about.
Actually have a follow up video to this coming in near future
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf ok I'll keep a lookout
thank you.
No... thank you ;)
Will making this "hands lower" swing potentially necessitate a change in your irons' lie angle, Alex?
No it shouldn’t. Not really anyway. If it does, it’s not the worst problem to have. But if required, you prob overdoing it and stooping through impact
Would this be a good swing thought for a golfer hitting behind the ball/ fat?
Yes... but You still must have a shift to lead side and if the movement is going through. You can’t just push down. It’s brushing and then posting up on the lead leg.
Great
Cheers and hope you try it
Cheers and hope you try it
It seems to me that having a golf course all to yourself on a warm sunny day is an important element in golfing breakthrough.
It’s movie making magic lol 🏌️♂️
Does away with the flip!
Thanks
Yes indeed
I feel like this is a good start but what about the release? I just feel a lot of people will get low and hold off the club
They can but patience is key
Same feeling as trying to hit every shot and keep the ball about a foot off the floor
Justin Rose has a golf channel?
with hands low, how do I avoid potential fat shot?
Other people have asked similar... got to just keep moving through and stand talk after impact. It’s the pull through that makes the great strikes and just ensuring do feel the angle in back of right wrist into impact
hey...you are.really justin rose
🤷🏻♂️ or is Justin Rose, Alex Fortey ?
Greetings from Pakistani .. regarding this lesson should I pull my hands down or bring my shoulder down and strike the ball with my right hand or shoulder.. regards
Hi! You never want to feel a tight pull. A gradual lowering with lead shoulder helps
This almost feels like cheating. Wow, what a difference! Never thought I’d say that about golf! Worked for me so well, Alex! Thanks, man!
How cool to hear that! Thankfully it’s not cheating lol :) keep at it and I’m sure we other lessons her and in the website to help you too :)
Did your friend hit it fat with lower hands?
Nope. Solid and consistent
Are you related to justin rose ? 😂😉
Another golf tip video that you can't help but click on lol
Hope it helps you though!
A love these numpties , like we all have the same physique
Anyone ever tell you that you sound like Justin rose!
Frequently lol
the key phrase 4 me is "like pushing waTER
"
Nice! I like that one at times for myself
@@TheArtofSimpleGolf so good thanks love your apporach
Are the hands Lower at address? This seems to help me….
