I USED THIS CONCEPT today during my coaching day!! You have to use this for GREAT ball striking
Thank you for all of the tips. You have really helped me in the past with how to practice on a driving range and this is certainly something I am going to try next time.
Through it, not to it, new to Alex tips, there punchy delivered at pace not those long winded sermons with so much info they baffle me, what about some (freebies) like a round with you or a freeeee lesson😊
I've heard about looking in front of the ball and not at the ball. I have tried it, but it definitely needs a lot of practice for me. Definitely going to persist with this tip Alex. 👏👏
What do I do if my divots are too "far" Infront of the golf ball? I feel like especially with my wedges I catch the top of the ball and then divot happens way ahead. I'm scared to move the ball to far forward though.
That’s what I do with every club from wedge to driver I focus on where I want the lowest point to be and swing, and it works as long as I put a good swing on it 👍.
Great analogy using boxing and kicking as an example of where to fully extend our arms during a golf swing 👌
Shanked the ball one time and topped the ball the next. I would NOT try this. Instead, set the club 6-8 inches behind the ball Moe Norman style, it forces you to shift your weight forward and have the club bottom out later, than sooner.
Just watched your lessons on striking your irons and look ahead of the ball. What about driver should you look at a point behind the ball?
I quite accidently started looking just in front of the ball on my swing, suddenly I was making solid contact and getting loft and distance. This is a great tip I cant wait to put a few tee's out and see if that improves it a bit more.
Great help. Might I suggest that you use shot tracer so that we could see the important shot flight. Thank you 😊
I have been struggling with my back I slipped a disc a while back and I suffer bad with it. Is there a different type of swing I can do that doesn't impact the back as much. Great video as always 😊
Awesome thank you!

2024: LOOK at the ball
2025: STOP looking at the ball, do THIS instead!
Well done alex 🏌♂️ 🙂 👍
Extend after impact. Stack and tilt or look at John Rahm.
i try to do this on the course but it's easier said than done lol
I was at the range and my irons weren't going well!
I tried to hit down on the ball but was aiming at the ball and my strike was still bad ?
I aligned myself to bottom out in front of the ball – improving but still not there ?
It was only when I stopped “ looking too much “ AT THE BALL “ that my strike became better – not perfect yet of course !
PS my longest iron is my 6 iron!
My comment should say I aligned my seeing to bottom out AFTER the ball but still wasn't exactly there – Sorry!!
Great video Alex and awesome explanations swing through it not to it
Hi Alex, thank you for the tips! Great videos. I hit terrible driver slices. My pro said I need to get a puntching bag and a baseball bat because it seems I am not "smashing" the ball, but actually rotating through it and has a result face is open… Can you elaborate on this smash part… I have been trying it, but seems I haven´t figured it out yet. Thank you!
We are swinging a golf club in balance through an area where the ball happens to be. Not hitting at that same ball.
Cobra CB’s 😘
7 iron 180 metres wow
Outstanding tip!! I love the boxing and kicking analogies too.
How do I stop my hockey hand push on the ball before swinging back? I simply can’t stop doing it 🙈
last year, I looked at the grass under the ball, and did well. now I need to be more aware of the timing of the release, biggest thing, though, I need to get out and play more.
There’s still snow on the ground but I tried this on wiffle balls in the basement and it felt better than anything I’ve tried
Great video, does this include woods and Driver?
