As a new golfer in my 60’s I find your “swing slower go further” videos very helpful. Keep it up.
I cannot believe it was that easy. I was out in the yard hitting some wiffle balls just practicing getting my wrists in the proper position for the down swing and all of a sudden, my ball contact was incredible, and my divots were 3-4 inches in front of the ball. This has been something I struggled with for 30 years. I cannot wait to get out to the range and start hitting balls. THANK YOU.
I just wanted to say that the videos you have done recently on swing tempo and slowing down and better ball striking are some of the best teaching videos I've watched on youtube. I appreciate your clarity in teaching a concept.
Hi. I followed your video on Not looking at the ball when using irons, hybrids and fairway woods. I played the following weekend in a competition with around 25 others and won. My handicap is 32. I was hitting my 3 Wood sweetly. Many thanks for your video.
I actually feel less in control when tuning down my swing speed. Less momentum and tension that stabilizes my body. But in return i get tired quicker and have a hard time controlling my swing path. When i get tired i do the mistake you mentioned with the downswing.
Looking forward to trying this tip on the course. Thanks
That explanation about how adding lag can cause your lead arm wrist to cup and really open up the club face was very helpful. And lag and rounding the wrist is something that I look forward to working on. Thank you.
This was a really good tip. I haven't been focusing that much on half swings before. Hands Infront of club head, half swings, combined with the video "don't look at the ball" have helped my practice swing getting my body and mind in the right mode. Now i hit more consistent.
Can't wait to try it on the range. Thank you
Thanks for this great tip looking to take it to the range this weekend going to practice at home.
Excellent video! Thanks!
Thanks for the simple tips. I gain speed and consistency tremendously.
Well explained mate , great thanks 👍
Ali, you break things down so nicely and in small increments. This video plus the ones that explain how to strike the turf after the ball are must watches and the best I have seen on CZcams... Thank you
This video is a real eye opener -thank U so much - excellent teaching.
love the video!ive studied shaft lean wrist angle my conclusion is simple…not closing the face turn the left hand in alittle fading to much open it a bit!simple but works gotta be fluid on the course according to your swing that day!!!we never swing the same everyday!key to winners is the adaptation to there swing that day!
One of your best videos! I really enjoyed this!
Thank you so much for making this so easy and not making it to complex
Was eager to try this at the range today because I’ve been hitting a weak fade with all of my clubs the last month or so. I actually thought I was losing distance due to my age.
This truly did help with contact and hence distance. I was hitting a pulled draw shot early which I’ve been known to do. Yet, I was able to straighten out.
I also didn’t get near as tired. I wanted to keep hitting balls. Gonna rush to range again tomorrow and next few days in preparation for a round with some coworkers next week.
I’m very excited. I’ve tried other tips from videos to shallow out the club but something about this teaching related to me. Thx for the teaching
Great tip ... thanks.
An eye opener. Fascinating. So simple, yet it explains a lot. Will definitely work on this at the range.
This is EXACTLY what I've been working on with my swing. Last time out I hit my irons better for 18 holes than I ever have. Driver, however, was terrible but I think that was (ironically) from trying to hit it too hard and losing my angles. Thanks for reinforcing my thoughts.
I agree if I go full power I get so much side spin and lose accuracy. A easy swing may be slightly shorter but the accuracy make up for and my irons strike is so much more satisfying
Thanks Ali, that’s something else I’ll take to the range tomorrow, 👍
Fixed my shank and added 10 yards to my irons. Great video....Thanks A Million 😊
Awesome tips thanks for presenting
Brilliant info
Very good presentation and demonstration.
Great video, wonderfully presented! This is something I needed to hear!! Thanks!
Your videos are always very innovative. Your demonstration shots always prove your point. Very interesting and creative video. Thanks
This is a good topic. I was just fittes for irons and with a 7 iron, i have a 100-102 mph swing speed with very little effort. However, ball striking is inconsistent. So this gives me something to work on in terms of slowing the speed to gain control.
Cool things range tomorrow👍
Great demonstration. I will swing slower and hit further.
Everytime I watch you hit a ball, your head looks up in time with you hitting the ball, yet you hit the ball so sweet! Great footage, but I - and I am sure others would like to see your swing in slow motion which am sure would help a lot of guys out here watching your blogs! Many thanks!
Or change playback speed on youtube settings. The cog 4th from the right on the video screen.
@@senorb1753 Cheers mate!
Great video, thanks for sharing, definitely subscribed.
Great vid. Love your presentation style. Looking forward to trying this technique soon. Cheers!
Thank you! Cheers!
Super super crisp explanation,! Love it ,love it. ONE OF THE BEST GOLF VIDEO HAVE SEEN. HOPE I GET TO SEE MORE THX
Lots more coming, glad you enjoyed it
I watch this video yesterday. Went to range today. Bloody hell it works! This also fix some slice shots!
Not all that complicated because it was so clearly presented, IMO. Thanks.
I was thinking the same thing! I have a terrible problem over swinging and tipping the ball. I started a channel to record my golfing to hopefully see improvement over time.
Great lesson! Thanks!
My exact miss with my low Irons. Block it right or I over compensate and hook in the trees. Thank you for posting.
Slowed my tempo to find my natural speed also double checked my alignment bang 68 today many thanks Ali
Maybe you can shed some light on this for me: according to indoor driving range, similar to the set up you have there, I hit the ball 20 yards farther than I ever have on a golf course? For example, I hit a 5-iron on average 185 yards carry, 200 yards total roll on an indoor range (I'm 63 years old, 9 handicap). On an actual golf course, I have never hit a 5 iron more than 180 yards to include roll out. Another example, a few years ago I was fitted for irons on an indoor machine. The result was a stiff (S300) dynamic gold shaft because I hit it farther (10 yards) than any other shaft tested. I tested the full gamut of shafts from L, A, R and S flexes, steel and graphite. I had clubs built with that shaft and lost 10 yards on the actual golf course versus my old regular flex shafts.......Do these machines lie to us??????
Just an excellent lesson...The key is to start out VERY slowly to feel the positions then gradually add the speed. Great drill....👍
Thank you
Always fun to watch a pro who is so in touch with every aspect of his swing dynamics and positions. Great to try to weave in, but so much darn stuff happening in my head and body that this amateur's swing has trouble getting dialed in. Fun to see it "simplified?"
Thanks
Glad you enjoyed it
That’s a great video Ali
Can this be implemented into woods/driver or will it drastically effect the width and attack angle
Great timing for this video. I’ve been working on this concept for 2-weeks on the range. Can’t wait to take it to the course
i m going to take a good look!!!! thx for make this vdo
Great …Danny Maude and you very good …as soon as my wrists cup I slice …when I do what you say here I generally hit it very well…I use the twisting towel / motorbike twist image to help left wrist flat out
He's talking about supinating your left wrist. Ben Hogan mentioned this in his book Five Lessons.
That really is a simple, effortless looking swing you have, if I swing like that be lucky to carry 140yds, clearly I'm doing something wrong. Looks like you don't have a lot of hip rotation on the backswing and turn so smoothly on the downswing you don't see the ball at impact, a bit Anneka-ish!
Anneka Rice in her jump suit.
Exactly
THAT IS NEW TOO
YOU ARE BOTH RIGHT
Great video,any chance you can do one on blocking/pushing straight right,most videos these days are about hook or slice,many thanks
Excellent instruction. I assume this is for irons only, not to attempt with fairway woods or the driver, correct? Maybe we can get some strait driver lessons? Thanks
I was just working on this! What I can say is that it's easy to get sloppy at the top of the backswing (relaxed hands and drooping clubhead) when you slow it down. A new tempo has to be learned.
Tried this last night one of the best tips I’ve seen I hit more out of sweet spot as well 👍
That's what i try telling my buddies when we're on the course. "dont try and kill it, just let the club come down naturally" and then that advice goes right out of the window cause they still try and kill it 😂. Then they see me go up to the tee and hit a gorgeous shot and all i hear is "how did you do that??" lol I JUST TOLD YOU GUYS. Like we wouldnt have to spend so much damn time looking for your balls in the rough if you'd just listen ffs 😂
love it ali.
When launching at 14°, you’re 2° stronger than the tour average and closer to the tour average for a 6i. All great for ball speed and more distance but you sacrifice your stopping ability on the green. You’re getting over 10 yards of rollout with a 7i which is not going to do anyone, any good.
Only way this works is if you’re already a high speed/high spin player so that you still have the stopping lower on the green. With a 108 CS on a 7i and 8k backspin, I can afford to take spin off but most recreational golfers can’t If you’re already a guy who is closer to the average joe, you’re going to be rolling off the back of the green.
In all fairness to Ali his message is to the wider world and not necessarily directed toward the scratch or better than scratch golfer. But, even here, it reinforces just how valuable it is to swing within yourself and to compress the ball. Don´t get caught up and distraced by the 10 yds of rollout... remember these were casually hit shots as he talked his way through and where the club face was often slightly closed. I think he´s done an excellent job on getting the concept across.
@@briantierney4703 I think we both agree that a solid, controlled swing will play better than an out of control faster swing.
However, what you said reinforces why the average golfer shouldn’t want to take this approach to gain more distance with their irons. Less loft equals less height and less spin, two things most golfers already don’t have enough of on approach shots. He’s a teaching professional so the average golfer who attempts this is going to get more rollout off the back side of the green. Stopping power on the greens is important.
Hopefully our differing views can help bring to light the pros and cons for those attempting or considering this. Cheers! 🥂
@@YoungMoneyInvestments I’m glad someone called this out. I’m a bogie golfer and I want the balls to stop, not roll off the green. It’s what everyone should be working on. Reduce your dispersion. If you want longer, use a longer club.
This is exactly what I recently identified that I need to work on so having a video lesson to copy is perfect. My strike is decent, but I'm casting early and have no shaft lean so 34 degree 7 iron is only carrying 135-140.
Hope it helps
^^^WITH YOU^^^. Let's fix it. 😁
How would you get more spin on these shots? Noticed that the ball runs out a bit
Ali - great concept for trial on the range…
Have been searching for a fix to my lost distance with every club and misses to the right. This method with controlled speed gave me my yardage back and a slight draw. It is the magic bullet. Reborn. It beats all other instruction videos. Back to form. Keys for me, knuckles down, control speed. Easy fix. I'm a 2, looking to go 0 or better.
Thanks for this great video.
Glad it has helped
Great tip...you see the Dustin Johnson reverse cup at the top is a key to all these good numbers. That move at the top, with the lag sets up what I call the sickle swing which is more consistent for a square club face at impact.
I would think this could be positive for anyone with a slower swing speed looking for more distance including seniors who have lost a measureable amount of it from age and the usual
nicks and knocks they have taken over the years. I'm going to give this a try.
great tip seems quite difficult when your just watching
just been in the garden with a putter to practise
glove nearer to sky ,then nuckles nearer to the ground
i wll practice this befoe i touch a ball thanks
Are you pulling left hand faster to get forward shaft lean? Can I do anything at setup to help with forward shaft lean?
As part of my swing I forward press with my hands as the first move in my swing, then make sure on my take away I do NOT "roll" the hands. That little forward press at the beginning solved the exact issue I had with the ole hosel rocket/cupped wrist miss hits. And I hit it SO much cleaner and straighter. I am sure it won't work for everyone, but for me that forward press solved SO many issues with my irons and my driver.
Exact same for me except doesn't work for driver
You are right, my mate has that forward press and it works well for him, but not me. I use it and I will hit the ground first. Cheers
@@owenrivard8832 that was the same for me with the driver. If you tee it higher, just in line with the left heel and add a little tilt-angle to your spine, you will hit up on the ball much easier, and it will go higher and further.
@@thewelsho I’ll try lining up with the heel I def tend to stand too far away with tilt from the ball with driver so that might help me not top it
Question, what's the difference between what you're saying to do here, and just using a lower lofted club to begin with? Thanks.
Smmaaassh, great word.
Maybe im missing something but comparing the launch angle and roll out between the before and after swings, wouldnt this technique make it harder to stop the ball on the green? it'd be interesting to see the spin numbers between the two shot types
Great video could you show your swing from behind so people could see how your down swing is on a flatter plane than backswing which allows you to hit the ball from the inside for years I didn't know what that term meant but I do now man I'm hitting the ball great I just can't putt it.
I always try and crack almost every club but I have always been like that🤣 good try at changing me. Great vid!
Makes sense. Better Smash makes up for speed by more consistently hitting sweet spot, & this more fairways. 👍
I get confused on whether I should have loft or have little loft? My golf ball when I hit with an iron tends to have low loft, and I usually practice with a 7 iron and 9 iron when I say this. I'm not sure what is the ideal amount of loft? When I use a 7 iron, my loft looks like your video at time index 6:18. Thanks. Great video btw.
I like your content because there a lot of golfs that feel they swing to fast. I will play the devils advocate here. Your playing a stronger seven iron like most pros do. I would say your 6’-2” which will add more distance because of your arch of the club. You hit the sweet spot every time most of us don’t. When you slow your club speed you have to be careful not to decelerate to much or you will chunk the ball. That being said, I loved your video!
The biggest thing for me is efficiency. I'm not thrashing at a golf ball for little gains - may be on a range but not on the course, want to still be strong through the whole round.👍
good stuff here
I have a lot of problem comtrolling the club speed particularly in the back swing, cannot do a slow backswing and of course that lend me do a lot of mistakes, do you havce any tips or exercises to let me control the bakswing speed?
Great video! I am struggling with that same thing. I’m a fairly consistent ball striker but I’ve lost about a full club of distance in my irons since last year. Ball flight went from penetrating mid height to to high and soft. I swing a 34* 7 iron comfortably 86-88 mph but only hitting it about 160. Curious what was your spin, height and decent angle was on some of those 180 yd + 7 irons?
Was thinking the exact same thing irons aren't for distance but accuracy and control. Key is the spin rate.
"Only" 160. If you can carry that distance every time consistently, then you're doing very well! Need to go 170 or 180? Use a 6 iron :)
@@thewelsho Exactly and I had been clubbing up before I figured out the distance loss. The issue was the distance loss was only with my irons and caused about a 30 yd gap between my longest iron (4) and my 21* hybrid. A quick checkup from my local pro showed me that my grip had gotten a weak and was causing me to leave the face open on the downswing and flip to square it at impact. A little tweak to my grip kept my face square to slightly closed during my swing and reduced dynamic loft at impact 4* - 5* and viola…spin launch and peak height came down and ball speed and distance came back up to where I’m used to seeing it. Crazy how subtle changes can make such a big difference
Good lesson. Howeer, I found it quite hard to trying to bowl the wrist on the way down. Any tip on how best to keep the wrist flat/bowled?
I need to watch that again
My swing speed is at or about 85 and my 7 iron has never come close to going 180 yards. If I could do that I'd not need fairway metals.
Almost every time I try to hit a club easy so I don't overshoot, my swing is much cleaner, I connect better and actually hit even further. There is a saying in Martial Arts - "Slow is smooth and smooth is fast". And it could definitely be applied to golf.
Thanks tried it today seem to pull the shot to the left
I have tried to do this swing. It wears my left wrist out and I am drawing everything into hooks. The yardage is longer but I don't know if I want to switch to drawing every one of my clubs.
Instead of changing your existing swing and delofting your irons, what about simply keeping the swing you've already grooved and take one more club while swinging smoothly?
Great info. thx!!!
Slowing everything down helps a ton.. backswing mostly, I’m seeing much more consistently straight shots. I had to readjust club selection for irons a bit.. I was muscling my PW to 150-165.. but with inconsistent results. Save your back.. arms.. and strokes.. slow down!
Try hitting your clubs 3/4 of the distance you normally do but still with a full swing. THAT will smooth your swing & you'll make good contact from the center of the face more often. You'll be surprised by the tempo it gives you & even better distance just by hitting the center of the face. Try it for a whole bucket of practice balls & give it a chance rather than quitting after a few bad shots. It's a little harder than it sounds. Let the club swing rather than pulling it down from the top. IMO, the 1 thing that's rarely mentioned by teachers but 1 of the most important factors in the swing is grip pressure. For speed in the swing, you can't have tension in your hands, wrists & arms which doesn't allow the full weight of the club to go thru the ball thus reducing speed. They call it a golf "swing" for a reason. Relax & let the club swing freely rather than trying to control it.
Hi Ali , great video’s mate, I’m a returning senior golfer with stuffed back from down under Australian. Can you get coached from you with videos.
Thanks
I've been trying this move but it seems to hurt my left wrist a bit. Working on getting the grip into my fingers and less in my palm. Helps a lot.
I'm no pro but I had the same issue at first. I've found that you can compensate for the hard left wrist roll simply by taking a stronger grip on the club with your left hand (meaning palm facing more toward the ground). You can then roll your wrist less to where it's more comfortable for you and your club face will remain aligned with your spine angle if done properly. Also, key point you mentioned is keeping the club in your fingers! Hope this helps. Cheers.
Was at the range yesterday thinking this exact thing of why I am not getting more ball speed but I feel like I'm swing so quickly.
Can you PLEASE do the same type of video but for the driver? Also, what if you use a stronger grip, will you still need to roll the wrist?
Your swing speed should remain the same regardless of whether you're hitting a wedge or a driver.
@@markemsworth4235 swing speed being much different than club head speed I am assuming?
@@bitario723 yep.

Wonderfully explained, I'm the kinda guy that plays Golf Well but Honestly things like Smash Factor , Side spin and other things are foreign to me. I wanna hit a draw I do it, I wanna hit a fade I do it, Knock down ??? You get it. I can hit every shot in the book but I want to know some of the Science behind it for when I get in that so called " Funk ".
Because when that happens I gotta bust 1,000 balls to get out of it. Would be nice to know what's wrong so I could fix it sooner rather than have to take 3 Dozen Tylenol and a bottle of Scotch to Numb the pain of 1,000 ball at the range. You got yourself a subscriber. God Bless.
Thank you
Can you do the same swing with your longer irons?
The main problem US armatures make - is trying to square the club head back to it's starting position, so why change direction/s of the hands throughout the swing? Why not just keep the back of the logo on ones glove (right handed golfers) pointing towards the ground through out the whole swing (which I will try out tomorrow) Surely with less moving parts of the bodies limbs will help to get the club head to ball square and easier!
I look forward to trying this out and maybe some feed back from others if they have tried out my theory? Thanks Ali!
What hitting mat do you use in this/your videos?
The accents always crack me up, thanks Benny Hill. Good video..
Great lesson but for a lot of golfers that movement will be extremely difficult to achieve.
What shaft flex are you using?
I want to see all angles with slow motion would be plus!
Hp
Would you take this approach with the driver and fairway woods as well?
Yes
Can you use this swing with the driver?
