There is so much advice out there on CZcams about driver but this video will eliminate all the bad habits you have with driver set up, your wrists with driver, squaring the club face, hitting the driver on the up, hitting the driver longer.
    Driver alludes so many golfers, if we get the technique with driver right you will gain yards, control and distance with your driver. This simple golf lesson will cover:
    1. Wrists in the golf swing with driver

    Excellent tip Alex! As always I will practice this. Your driver tips as I mentioned have got me hitting better, not quite straight yet, but getting there.

    Excellent video Alex on the correct position of left wrist, forearm and driver club face during the swing! This is exactly the position I strive for in my swing. Well Done Alex!!

    I’m so wanting to try this- but how can I check that I’m doing it right- I can perhaps add a pointer to the driver edge to check the face angle but self appraisal is a hard task - any ideas Alex- filming myself isn’t easy I find

  • @bernardprice8316
    @bernardprice8316 Před 10 měsíci

    i cant stop slicing always have and i think it is because i am so RH dominant but play LH so my top hand is my stronger and the bottom weaker one slows down my swing release and stops me getting club face back to position also i have now because i am trying to force things straight have now started to swing way over the top its a nightmare which then can cause a massive pull

    Alex, great advice. I was just wondering as i'm quite new to golf , if you have ever done a longer video which contains all a player could follow on tips / shots / techniques on breaking 100 for the newer / struggling golfers. almost like a tee to green tutorial as i cant find one anywhere on your channel ( or am i missing it.).

    Great tips Alex. My wrists used to cup but have improved with the Credit Card scenario. Would you say that is good advice for either the irons or specifically the longer irons? Great hybrid video also...I can't wait to try chipping around the green with it. Jon

  • @PhilConran
    @PhilConran Před 10 měsíci

    These driver tips are great if you are lead hand dominant. I tried all of the tips and still sliced the ball. As soon as I stopped the right hand / trail hand extension in the takeaway, with a weak trail hand grip the slices went away. If the right hand extends, it will lock into this extended position and not release in time, causing horrible open faces. Strong right hand under grip, was a massive cause of slicing too.

    • @AlexElliottGolf
      @AlexElliottGolf  Před 10 měsíci

      Hi Phil, thanks for the feedback and good to hear your thoughts, i hear a lot of goflers struggling with similar issues. Releasing a video tonight which should help you even more. Stay tuned!

  • @kennyc3670
    @kennyc3670 Před 9 měsíci

    Hello Alex, an interesting video. Before the video started you show a still picture of two different face positions. One is "START SEEING THIS" and the other is "STOP SEEING THIS". I would imagine that most golfers slice due to setting up in the "STOP SEEING THIS" position where the club face is set square to the target line and the clubhead bottom face is resting flat on the ground.
    It's all very well saying to get the lead wrist flat at the halfway up and top positions, but this requires golfers to imagine the position of their lead wrist by feel as their swing progresses. This is hard to do even if the wrist is set flat by taking it away as you suggest because at the top, where you can't see it, the momentum of the club will tend to alter the flat wrist - usually to open it.
    I would think that a bowed left wrist, which several top pros use, is easier to set and consistently keep in that position throughout - which is maybe why they use it.
    I guess to cure a slice and swing without thinking of using a flat wrist you really only need to take a stronger grip and then you could swing as you normally would without trying to maintain a flat left wrist?

    I laughed when you said keep the logo to the sky. When we teach kids how to bat in baseball. We teach logo to the sky. So when they move from metal bats to wooden bats it is easier to understand. What we say is "show God the logo". I'll remember this one easily

  • @darren0770
    @darren0770 Před 10 měsíci

    Is it the cam angle, or are those drives going left? I do this sometimes on the range and i'm thinking i'm pushing it, so I aim right to hit "straight". Have I been hitting it correctly all this time??

    I'm having trouble bringing my casual round game into my stroke play rounds in my 30+ team round, especially with driver.
    Can you do a video on a fairway finder, a go-to shot with driver?
