How does this correspond with your tip about drawing a line down the ball and putting that line between your feet, the turning your left foot and moving your right foot apart? Do you still center up with the ball, or do you center up with your line 3 inches behind?
Alex, As always great tips, but I have a question on driver head hitting. Have you ever had a number of students put hitting tape or foot spray on the driver face. Then have them hit and record impact points. Be interesting to see results. Cheers, Joel Halprin
Alex I have struggled with slice forever and tried this today. Basically fixed the problem immediately and I was suddenly hitting baby draws. Can’t thank you enough for this simple fix!
I just took this video to the net in my garage, took some videos and my swing doesnt even look the same!!! i was soo over the top before and now its just shallow and hitting the middle of the face!?! HOW!? I cant wait to get this on the course!! Thanks brother!
Wow that is a great hack. I just went to the garage and gave it a go with some contact paper on the driver. Terrific! I had the tee height down but the other two were really helpful, especially lining up closer to the toe. The centrifugal aspect of the driver is real.
Hi Alex I started using your tip by setting the driver 3 inches behind the ball and out of the toe. I was hitting some of my drives from 180 metres total to 235 metres and it gave me more height. Thanks Alex
Hi Alex! Thankyou, thankyou, thankyou..... I played today and followed all what you say in this video ...... I drived the ball off the tee better than ever in my life . Plus made putts....WoW! A very good day at the office🎉.
Alex. Used you tee peg trick with driver today (FYI just bought my first driver). After hitting the ground on my first three tries, I put the a marker to the back right of the driver as a focus point. In nutted 3 in a row! This totally works.
Yet another great tip! I followed the steps and my driver shot improved. Wonderful great feeling with good driver shot. I shared this video with my new golf mate and they are getting better and better with their drive shot.
Brilliant advice. It has taken me multiple years to come to the exact same three points- unfortunately through A LOT of trial and error. I honestly have learned and improved more from watching these videos than from ANY in person lesson. THANK YOU 🙏🏽
I tried the toe set up and it did help. I hit the ball plenty high bet have struggled to be straight. Today my big miss was 5 yards. I was consistently to the right. I was thinking hit the inside left of the ball. My tee up tip. Place your tea into the ground and then play Chevelle just in front of it to where the tea height is at the top of your ball. This will put you very close to the epicenter of the ball being halfway above your club.. easy fix. Can’t wait to hit a Bucket an practice this drive tip more
Going back to setting the ball back sorry to interrupt your Portugal break!! Lol did struggle with the 7 iron pushes to the right or didn’t close the face will work on it cheers any way 👍👍
What a great lesson.. went to the range after watching it.. and dialled in lining up the toe and resting the club on the floor a clubhead behind… bye bye slice.. central fairway most of the time
Alex you did it again. I bought a new driver a few weeks ago and the first rounds it was constantly missing right! Trying to correct it turned into duck hooks. I tried this on my round this morning and the one I missed right was just a slight fade and I hit high draws on all the rest. How refreshing to have some confidence again! Thanks again!
Great demonstration that makes total sense. I discovered that awhile ago in regards to ball position to the face of the club. I now have to try the 3 inches behind the club face. I am sure it will work. Thanks for your demonstrations. Keep them coming.
Hi Alex, I watched this video yesterday and put it into practice this morning. I moved the ball an inch or so from centre out to the toe of the driver and what a difference. I didnt fluff one shot and they all seemed to come from the middle of the club and travel further too. Thanks for the advice, you've made a huge difference - Nick
TY Alex, I appreciate this so much. I have been trying to adjust to a new set of longer clubs. Was told I wasn't using right length. Altgough I was very successful with the old driver. Now I am trying to
Just started doing the "address off the toe" and it worked ....pro at the club not happy tho ....going to keep trying it after this video tho and see how it goes
Alex, thanks for this valuable tip, went to the driving range today, and sure as heck this worked 100%, did have the odd one fade or slice a bit but not as bad as before, practice well help me perfect it.
1:51 Excellent! Skeptical at 1st. Took this advice to the course yesterday and , “wow!” What a difference! Clean strike, reduced slice improved consistency, increased confidence! Thank you for sharing!
Alex I love watching your golf videos. As you state you really do keep it simple. I always wondered why some of the best draws I ever hit was when I addressed the ball on the toe. You explained it so well. Thanks Alex. Keep up the great work.
Thank you. I will try your 3 ideas. Your reasons make sense so I hope they will work for me. I have subscribed many times but DO NOT GET NOTIFIED ABOUT YOUR EXCELLENT VIDEOS. I have to find them on YOU TUBE. I regularly watch & give a positive, favourable comments.
Started lining up my driver like this last year, the only difference is that I start with the head of the driver about 6 inches behind the ball instead of 3. I was shocked at the difference it made. Much more consistent with my driver and 3 wood.
Excellent tips Alex, thank you for posting. I cannot wait to get out & try this. As for ball height off the teeing ground, simple, use stepped tees. I use 38mm for my driver & 12mm for everything else. It takes the ball height variable out of the equation.
Nice,... I just did it during the last hole of league yesterday. Hit the best drive, distance and feel wise that I can remember in the longest time. Birdied the hole but only to cancel out a skin from the better player on the league. Which still feels like a win for me lol.
Some excellent tips,really struggled with my driver off the tee, had a massive slice,this video explains why,hav you got any vids in why am pulling my wedges left,great videos and tips
I spent years lining the ball up toe side of centre and regularly hit heel strikes. I moved my lineup to the middle of the driver this year and now I'm hitting centre and centre-toe.
The only problem with grounding the driver is if you release the grip and regrip because the club will twist when resting on the ground and let it just settle. You aren't regripping the club so you aren't getting the twist those who release the grip once the club is grounded will get. Just wanted to point out a typical problem when grounding the club behind the ball.
Good stuff today thanks for the info. I'm struggling to not come from the outside in I tried to adjust and I still come from the outside-in no matter what can you have some kind of show on that thank you
Too many players believe there’s only one answer in golf. Experimentation is the key. For example Wesley Bryan’s driver stance is so narrow it looks like he’s hitting a wedge, and he lines the ball up on the hozzel. Mess around at the range and you may find something that seems unorthodox but it works w/ your swing. It’s fun and you’ll get a lot better.
4:42 the top line of the face looks set for a slice, for years I’ve squared that up to the ball. What am I seeing and why? You can see it but does it square naturally in the swing? Thanks
I started doing this a few weeks ago with great results but I can't get on with the higher tee I definitely hit it better off the white castles rather than the pink for some reason
wow! took your tips with me to the ranch and hit 15 straight long drives in a row with good ball striking. my usual miss is heel, but now i hit the middle. Thanks for this simple and effective tip. 🙂
Alex, I’m an avid listener to your program. Every day I listen to your latest tip. I’ve been slicing the ball more than I would like to admit. Your latest tip on teeing the golf ball lower and starting the club 3 inches behind the ball and slightly off center of club face is my new set up. I was bombing the ball today. Longest drive 271, and consistently out around 240-250. I also incorporated your bunker set up and I’m getting out of bunkers beautifully. Love all your lessons and I’m down to a 7 handicap. I’m also 67 yrs old and a throat cancer survivor. 100% cancer free and playing golf 3-4 days a week. CHEERS!
🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼💪🏼 Thank you for this, really appreciate the message. Well done you for working on your game like you have and so good to hear you beat cancer. Keep at it alan!🙌🏼
I have watched as many of your videos as I can find. Irons are beginning to work better for me. But, the big stick is still { to be polite, inconsistent } to be accurate { it sucks, I am right, then left and who knows where it will go next }? Have you got a Driver video that will show everything from setup thru swing?
I have addressed the driver off the toe and on the ground for years I had read that the reason is that if you now move your driver up to the ball, to the position that you hit it, the club automatically adjusts the address position to the centre of the club. Makes sense to me. Just watch what happens if you try this.
Alex,I just wanted to take a moment to say thank you for all your great advice. .At 71 I'll never be a tour player but you've helped my game and for that I'm very grateful. Sincerely, George Davey U.S.A.
Are you going to post any content of you playing a few rounds of golf perhaps competitively with other TH-cam golfers? Be nice to see the competitive side coming out and leading the way by showing us how it’s done 👊🏾
I enjoy your videos many thanks. I was wondering if you could try this. I am setting up with my club head at least 8 to 10 inches away from ball. I have so much room to release the club this way. I take it back square and somewhat vertical and on the downswing move a little forward onto the balls of my feet. You can never shank this way but only miss on the toe. It made my ball striking better and more distance and a ton more fun. Could you just try it? Thanks.
All excellent tips Alex on Driver alignment and tee height! Because of the inconsistencies of of our grassed tee boxes, I carry two length tees (3 1/4" & 2 3/4"). I do use your recommended tee height. I like your suggestion of addressing the ball towards the toe because on occasion I do get "off center" hits! I also like your other suggestion of setting the club three inches or so in back of the ball in order to get an upward strike on the drive!
YOUR SITE IS POSSIBLY BEING HACKED!! Unless you are issuing notifications of "short list of prize winners", than you are possibly being hacked! I highly recommend you have someone look into this! Thanks!
Hey Alex. Just wanted to say that I tried this technique yesterday and it worked. 95% of my drives went straight down the fairway and I gained about 20-30 yards. Now I need you to give me a good fix for hitting my irons. I am a lefty and i can't seem to figure out why i am pulling my irons to the right. Help please.
What's the most extreme alignment you've seen within this theory? I have to align the ball, literally beyond the club head, to find the middle because I seem to "reach" out so far in my swing. It looks like I'm lined up to take a practice swing and miss completely, but it's the only way I can get anywhere near the middle. If I line up traditionally, I'll miss the ball completely, or hit it right off the hosel. It's so bad 😂.
Toe-alignment, and well-behind the ball at address, tips were the reminders I’ve been needing so badly!! Everything was crowding in my downswing but *snap* just like that, I can really feel the freedom to accelerate through impact and make clean contact with the ball again! Drawlellujah!!
Alex mate, please HELP! Would love to see a true video on how not to duff the ball with irons, I've watched so many videos, but the techniques never really works out on the course. I've finally found myself happy(ish) with my drive, but my confidence is gone bc I know the next shot off the fairway is going to be chunked. ps. Loving the channel.
Go to your local course and ask the pro shop for lessons. Most courses will have someone to give them and they are fairly reasonable. I got someone at my course it’s $50 for 30 minutes. Or $90 for a hour
I figured this out a while back and wanted to see if you had some extra tips for it. I’m definitely going to try setting it up a few inches behind the ball at address. Thanks!
Yep , agree, basic physics. Also if you do address ball hovered with arms fully extended then exhale and drop club down and back onto ground … ball is off toe. And… ( while I have your attention) with the clubface 4” ( 100mm) behind the ball a 3deg upward angle of attack is mathematically Tan3degx100 = 5.2mm OR approx 1.5 dimples on a ball… yep 3deg AOA is less than 2 dimples up…. Game of fractions !!!!
I see you have modified, since your last video on this, 4 weeks ago, to include my comments on that video - ie set up at the swing LOW POINT (not just an arbitrary distance behind the ball) and ALIGN TOWARDS THE TOE at setup. A bit of credit would have been nice.
Omg 😮. I started with watching your earlier video hitting from the front of the toe which helped me tremendously. After watching this video by adding the 3 inches out is a game changer! I must have added about 20 yards give or take more. Thank u so much Alex n enjoy Portugal 😁
Tried this today for the first time on the range. Unbelievable! I thought it was a fluke. I hit two dozen with driver. Striped every one. Dead straight or slight draw… 👌. I’ve been struggling with push/cuts. I’m gonna use this from here on out. Start it off the toe!! 🔥🤯
I set up my driver with the ball over the toe and lightly resting about 2 inches or so a bit closer behind the ball. Thanks Rambo and Bryson for both ideas. Now Alex tells me 😡😡. Shame on you Lololololol
Hey Alex , I’d love some help with my long irons 6,5,4 . For some reason they are mostly going the same distance . I can hit my hybrid and 3 wood without issue . I know I am missing one tiny thing . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks man keep up the great content
To hit my driver out of the middle I have to address the ball at the heel of the club, Is there anything I can do to improve consistent ball stricken ? Nothing too radical as I’m 66 and just started playing
![ผัวเถื่อน - ยูริ โตเกียวมิวสิค [ OFFICIAL MUSIC VIDEO ]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/P08ORRVDGl8/mqdefault.jpg)
*This is a MUST DO! Iv done it for years! Make sure you do it to now!*
Makes a ton of sense Alex.
How does this correspond with your tip about drawing a line down the ball and putting that line between your feet, the turning your left foot and moving your right foot apart? Do you still center up with the ball, or do you center up with your line 3 inches behind?
If I go 3 inches behind the ball,hitting it on the heel,will get my slice back?
Holy smokes...my "centrifugal force" idea was right, I was just kind of nervous about trying it on the course. C'mon Saturday!
Alex, As always great tips, but I have a question on driver head hitting. Have you ever had a number of students put hitting tape or foot spray on the driver face. Then have them hit and record impact points. Be interesting to see results. Cheers, Joel Halprin
These are great lessons. Quick and straight forward. No 20 minutes of bs before the lesson. You say it then you show it. Love it. New subscriber here.
Alex I have struggled with slice forever and tried this today. Basically fixed the problem immediately and I was suddenly hitting baby draws. Can’t thank you enough for this simple fix!
I just took this video to the net in my garage, took some videos and my swing doesnt even look the same!!! i was soo over the top before and now its just shallow and hitting the middle of the face!?! HOW!? I cant wait to get this on the course!! Thanks brother!

Centrifugal force!!! I tried right away at the range..,omg what a simple adjustment that worked immediately!!! Thx man from Canada
I knew it! Somthing was off and unconsciously discovered this! Thanks for the video and confirmation!!!
Yet another great tip! I followed the steps and my driver shot improved. Wonderful great feeling with good driver shot. I shared this video with my new golf mate and they are getting better and better with their drive shot.
Brilliant advice. It has taken me multiple years to come to the exact same three points- unfortunately through A LOT of trial and error. I honestly have learned and improved more from watching these videos than from ANY in person lesson. THANK YOU 🙏🏽

Can’t wait to hit a
Bucket an practice this drive tip more
This by far the best advice and proven. I actually started doing the same thing by trail an error. Do one for your irons and woods please.
This REALLY works I’m definitely hitting more out of the centre of the face after this !
Thanks Alex.
Yet again another gem tried another tip today setting the ball half a ball back with the scoring irons what a difference cheers 👍👍
Thank you Andy!! I really appreciate the support I hope you golf is improving
Going back to setting the ball back sorry to interrupt your Portugal break!! Lol did struggle with the 7 iron pushes to the right or didn’t close the face will work on it cheers any way 👍👍
What a great lesson.. went to the range after watching it.. and dialled in lining up the toe and resting the club on the floor a clubhead behind… bye bye slice.. central fairway most of the time
Fantastic little tweak to help your driving. I was suddenly pulling left and this fixed me quickly.
Alex you did it again.

TY Alex, I appreciate this so much. I have been trying to adjust to a new set of longer clubs. Was told I wasn't using right length. Altgough I was very successful with the old driver. Now I am trying to
Figure it out all over again! I am connecting~ but not as consistent as be4
Just started doing the "address off the toe" and it worked ....pro at the club not happy tho ....going to keep trying it after this video tho and see how it goes
Hi Alex,
Thank you for the tips. I'll be visiting Porto, Portugal at the end of August for the first time. Cheers.
this is always what i do
so smart don’t see many people do it
Alex, thanks for this valuable tip, went to the driving range today, and sure as heck this worked 100%, did have the odd one fade or slice a bit but not as bad as before, practice well help me perfect it.
Great tips! It actually works very well. Thank you Alex.
So easy to understand golf lessons,thanks a bunch
1:51 Excellent! Skeptical at 1st. Took this advice to the course yesterday and , “wow!” What a difference! Clean strike, reduced slice improved consistency, increased confidence! Thank you for sharing!
I started lining up with the toe some time ago and my slice evaporated instantly!

I have to find them on YOU TUBE.
I regularly watch & give a positive, favourable comments.
I have hovered for years with great success. It works well since I tee it high and let it fly. Address it slightly off the toe.
I'll try this at the weekend for 18. If it works, your secret is safe😂...Great energy video, thanks.
Sounds easy. I am playing tomorrow and will try it out.
Started lining up my driver like this last year, the only difference is that I start with the head of the driver about 6 inches behind the ball instead of 3. I was shocked at the difference it made. Much more consistent with my driver and 3 wood.

As for ball height off the teeing ground, simple, use stepped tees.
I use 38mm for my driver & 12mm for everything else. It takes the ball height variable out of the equation.
Did this this past Tuesday during league on last hole. It absolutely worked especially the toe line up. Best hit I ever hit
Nice,... I just did it during the last hole of league yesterday. Hit the best drive, distance and feel wise that I can remember in the longest time. Birdied the hole but only to cancel out a skin from the better player on the league. Which still feels like a win for me lol.
LOVE THAT
@AlexElliottGolf I'm finding the fairways more with this. Every now and then I have a brain fart and hit a slice but that's from me over thinking
Love this advice. I can’t wait to try it on the range
This is worth a shot 👌🏼 I constantly slice the ducker
Some excellent tips,really struggled with my driver off the tee, had a massive slice,this video explains why,hav you got any vids in why am pulling my wedges left,great videos and tips
I think this is the best advice
I spent years lining the ball up toe side of centre and regularly hit heel strikes. I moved my lineup to the middle of the driver this year and now I'm hitting centre and centre-toe.
About to try this. Tyvm!

I have to give this a try hopefully if does not rain tomorrow
Good stuff today thanks for the info. I'm struggling to not come from the outside in I tried to adjust and I still come from the outside-in no matter what can you have some kind of show on that thank you

Excellent tip, will try lining up out of toe today. Thx.
Thanks for sharing and welcome to Portugal. You should come more often, specially during winter 😂
hahaha Thank you so much. I wish i could i love it out here
4:42 the top line of the face looks set for a slice, for years I’ve squared that up to the ball. What am I seeing and why? You can see it but does it square naturally in the swing? Thanks
Thank you !!!
Thank u alex!
I started doing this a few weeks ago with great results but I can't get on with the higher tee I definitely hit it better off the white castles rather than the pink for some reason
wow! took your tips with me to the ranch and hit 15 straight long drives in a row with good ball striking. my usual miss is heel, but now i hit the middle. Thanks for this simple and effective tip. 🙂
It’s interesting how most pros / low handicappers set up with the ball on the heel if they don’t set it in the center.
Enjoy the sun Alex. A great tip of placing the club with the toe of the club lined up. Going to try this today. Thanks.
Used this today , stopped my snap hook and I hit 15 fairways … was called bandit in a match against another club team
Alex, I’m an avid listener to your program. Every day I listen to your latest tip. I’ve been slicing the ball more than I would like to admit.

I have watched as many of your videos as I can find. Irons are beginning to work better for me.
But, the big stick is still { to be polite, inconsistent } to be accurate { it sucks, I am right, then left and who knows where it will go next }? Have you got a Driver video that will show everything from setup thru swing?
Moe Norman addressed the ball a few inches behind. I’m going to give this a try. Does the same apply for fairway irons and woods?
I have addressed the driver off the toe and on the ground for years
I had read that the reason is that if you now move your driver up to the ball, to the position that you hit it, the club automatically adjusts the address position to the centre of the club. Makes sense to me. Just watch what happens if you try this.

Steady on john
Gonna try it
love to hear that
Loving the videos Alex. Any chance you can give me a simple tip to help strike my fairway woods off the deck better each time? Thanks
Hey Alex. Just wanted to say that I tried this technique yesterday and it worked. 95% of my drives went straight down the fairway and I gained about 20-30 yards. Now I need you to give me a good fix for hitting my irons. I am a lefty and i can't seem to figure out why i am pulling my irons to the right. Help please.
I notice you also have the driver face open?
Great concept which I am glad I watched. Is there a thought you recommend to stop hitting ground first vice ball then ground.
I was hoping for the players POV swing as well as the Tracman view.
I have difficulty aligning the ball in my stance. I feel like it’s aligned but it’s actually in front of my left toe. Do you have a drill for this?
What's the most extreme alignment you've seen within this theory? I have to align the ball, literally beyond the club head, to find the middle because I seem to "reach" out so far in my swing. It looks like I'm lined up to take a practice swing and miss completely, but it's the only way I can get anywhere near the middle.
If I line up traditionally, I'll miss the ball completely, or hit it right off the hosel. It's so bad 😂.
It seems like it’s the only way I can find the center or toe side too. Heel is the worst place to hit it
Alex how do I keep the right elbow close to the side and the right shoulder down and close to the right side on the downswing with the driver?
Great video. Do you do this with your irons to or line up out the middle.
So Alex, I use the tee height and 3 inches behind trick, but my miss is a snap hook. Should I be setting up a little heely???
Where do you line the ball too. Is it to your left heel or a couple of inches from your left heel
Toe-alignment, and well-behind the ball at address, tips were the reminders I’ve been needing so badly!! Everything was crowding in my downswing but *snap* just like that, I can really feel the freedom to accelerate through impact and make clean contact with the ball again! Drawlellujah!!
Alex mate, please HELP! Would love to see a true video on how not to duff the ball with irons, I've watched so many videos, but the techniques never really works out on the course. I've finally found myself happy(ish) with my drive, but my confidence is gone bc I know the next shot off the fairway is going to be chunked.

Go to your local course and ask the pro shop for lessons. Most courses will have someone to give them and they are fairly reasonable. I got someone at my course it’s $50 for 30 minutes. Or $90 for a hour
Alex, the "John Rahm" video was awesome and I really benefitted. The toe tip is my next stop, can't wait.
thank you! glad they help
What I Doo Doo. Sorry I'm a child.
That aside. Great explanation 🤙🏼
👍🏼
Bryson hovers, Moe set up on the heel. Yo.
I figured this out a while back and wanted to see if you had some extra tips for it. I’m definitely going to try setting it up a few inches behind the ball at address. Thanks!
This is probably the best and simplistic video explained from the 100s I’ve been watching. You put me at ease. Thank you 🙏
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching
Yep , agree, basic physics. Also if you do address ball hovered with arms fully extended then exhale and drop club down and back onto ground … ball is off toe.
And… ( while I have your attention) with the clubface 4” ( 100mm) behind the ball a 3deg upward angle of attack is mathematically Tan3degx100 = 5.2mm OR approx 1.5 dimples on a ball… yep 3deg AOA is less than 2 dimples up…. Game of fractions !!!!
I see you have modified, since your last video on this, 4 weeks ago, to include my comments on that video - ie set up at the swing LOW POINT (not just an arbitrary distance behind the ball) and ALIGN TOWARDS THE TOE at setup. A bit of credit would have been nice.
Omg 😮. I started with watching your earlier video hitting from the front of the toe which helped me tremendously. After watching this video by adding the 3 inches out is a game changer! I must have added about 20 yards give or take more. Thank u so much Alex n enjoy Portugal 😁
Brilliant to hear!!
Ignore the telegram message. You know it’s me when it has a verified tick!
Tried this today for the first time on the range. Unbelievable! I thought it was a fluke. I hit two dozen with driver. Striped every one. Dead straight or slight draw… 👌.
I’ve been struggling with push/cuts. I’m gonna use this from here on out. Start it off the toe!! 🔥🤯
Jabulani ball flight? ✌
I set up my driver with the ball over the toe and lightly resting about 2 inches or so a bit closer behind the ball. Thanks Rambo and Bryson for both ideas.
Now Alex tells me 😡😡. Shame on you Lololololol
NO GOLF ⛳️ CHANNEL is doing the ‘Player Cam Perspective’!!!
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE 🙏 Keep doing this in your videos!
Game changer
Hey Alex , I’d love some help with my long irons 6,5,4 . For some reason they are mostly going the same distance . I can hit my hybrid and 3 wood without issue .
I know I am missing one tiny thing . Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks man keep up the great content
Have you tried focusing IN FRONT of the ball when hitting your irons?
Where can I get the shirt and shorts?
To hit my driver out of the middle I have to address the ball at the heel of the club, Is there anything I can do to improve consistent ball stricken ? Nothing too radical as I’m 66 and just started playing
