WORLD NO.1 Golf coach told me TO NEVER stand square to these shots! (pros have started doing this)

- How you stand to a driver golf shot and iron golf shot has a HUGE impact on how straight you can driver or strike you irons! This is the the clever swing strategy that pros actually use and World NO.1 Golf coach Peter Cowen has recommended! Pete Cowen says I'm not a fan of perfectly square alignment for the average player because it takes a perfect shot to hit it where you're aiming. I'd advise most amateurs to align different for irons and driver to help promote more divot strike with irons and an inside path with driver and this is something that he has told golf pros to do for SO long! Doing this will allow you to hit your driver longer and straighter and hit more green with your scoring irons
Legendary golf coach Pete Cowen has been preaching about this to so many pros for years, it's time that amateur, mid handicap and high handicap golfers use this too! WORLD NO.1 Golf coach told me TO NEVER stand square to these shots!

*NEVER WORK for a straight shot ever again!! It’s the worst thing you can do for your golf swing*
Another good one Alex. Il give it a go as always. In the last 3 months iv gone from 22 handicap to 17.2. My new grip has changed my confidence on the tee box. Lets see how much this video helps me. Nice 1 Alex. Summer golf is here to ⛳️👍
The closed club face is something that has definitely helped me straighten my driver. I now take my grip with the club head slightly closed then set my stance. Hit 5 straight drives in a row on the course. Not seen my driver so straight for a v long time
You and me both brother!
I have been doing this since watching another of your videos last year. It has really helped me. Pulling my right foot back a little on the drives, and my left foot back a little on my hybrids and fairway woods has made me far more consistent in my hits.
Brilliant 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Love it! I will definitely incorporate this into my set up. This isn’t the first time I’ve heard this. So, it’s time to try it.
Pete Cowan and Ben Hoga, in his book, subscribe to this foot adjustment.
Thanks Alex for refreshing everyone's memory. Little things like this help greatly.
Love all your content
Good Job Alex. Thanks.
Another gem, Alex! Great job!
Thank you Alex for this *so* interesting lesson !☺
Brilliant video thanks for sharing I'll definitely try it out at the driving range today
Great video! So looking at my whole set of clubs, I now hit my iron & hybrids out of an open stance and my driver and fairway woods out of a closed stance. What a difference it has made in my contact, consistency, and accuracy. Thanks!
Great tip 👍.
Will be trying this tomorrow ⛳⛳
Interesting. I am a 3 handicap and changed my left foot open to promote hips comfortably opening this year. I also started lifting uo my left heel in backswing. Result was little more power. I stopped the changes as my sequence is inconsistant and I need consistency, so I like to aim and align booth feet with just a little open left foot and I no longer lift lefy heel.
Alex - best lesson ever.!!!... I'm 80 and have lost some flexibility- this lesson has been able to change everything for the good for both my irons and driver... could you expand for the fairway woods - ball and foot posutioning.. looking forward to seeing your next lesson.!!!.. Thanks Bob Mahnke
love this. i have been finding success with rotating my grip as you suggest. i have bene aiming myself right but work with my upper body, i cant wait to pull that right foot back and see what happened. i will also try the opposite with the irons.
Tried this last week, helped a lot. Between this tip and less 3 putts, took 10 strokes off
Thank you Alex ! Best channel on u Tube
Wow, thanks!
I have been using this driver stance for a month now and have been 8/10 on FiRs. I can't wait to implement this stance with my irons.
I want to thank you for all of your VERY helpful videos. I have been practicing a lot without hitting balls using your techniques and yesterday I was able to finally get out to the range to hit balls. I had to hit off the mat because we've had too much rain of late and I never liked hitting off mats, I never seemed to hit the ball well. Yesterday I was amazed at how much better I was striking the ball. First time out wasn't perfect however, I noticed a HUGE difference compared to years past. I am frankly surprised I did as well as I did in the past given how shabby my swing was. MANY Thanks!
I hope your golf is really improving 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Cheers Alex, probably explains why my nasty slice has gone to a straight hit left. Will give this a try.
Excellent points Alex about Pete Cowens's recommendation for amateurs should set up with a slightly closed stance. Depending on the hole configuration, I do set up with a slightly closed stance and I do use an in to out swing. If there are trees or obstructions on my right however, I tend to alter my stance and swing somewhat. Well Done Alex!
Well said!and thank you!
Nice to see somebody that knows what their talking about, saying this. I just started golfing again after a decade away. Started at the range about 2 months ago and played to rounds over the last two weeks. Anyway I had to relearn the driver and started doing this own my own, cause I felt more comfortable standing that way and noticed I was hitting driver better than I ever did. Haven’t tried what you showed with irons, but it makes perfect sense, just like I figured out with driver. I’ll have to try it with my irons, to see if it helps me gain yardage
Keep up the great work on your golf game 🙌🏼
By the way, I was doing this yesterday out at the range. I think you mentioned this in the past. It made a tremendous difference in the difference in my follow through. Today I woke up a little sore but that is because I never ever followed through correctly. I am so excited about getting out on the course this year with my buddies and kicking their butts. Then I'll tell them to watch your videos....at the end of the year😁
Love this rick!!🙌🏼🙌🏼
I hope this works for me. Thx
You make it look so easy
In the back of Ben Hogan's Five Lessons book he has an illustration of how he positions his feet at address. He pulls his right foot back with the driver like you've shown in this video, then progressively moves it forward with all his other clubs. Alex, I'm sure you've seen this illustration, and I'm also sure Pete Cowen has seen it.
Great vid. What about fairway Woods off deck and tee. Also Hybrids?
Coming soon!
Another fantastic video. Alex when you open the stance with irons - what is your weight distribution? 50/50 or more 60/40 on left?
@alexelliottgolf i went out yesterday after work, tried these setups and damn...i was hitting much straighter balls more consistently. Thanks for the help!!
Wow... I just practicing this at range today. When i open my stance a little bit, i feel like I'm aiming a little bit easier to the target. Just like when chipping. For the club face that aiming a little left i compensated with pulling the handle to the left (closing the club face) and the club face square again.
I definitely will try this the next time I play.
Promise lol it’s funny that you mentioned this because I just started doing this the other day before this video video
I used this today Alex and hit the ball the best of 2024 so far! Thx! I have a question for your channel. I STRUGGLE when have a dogleg L and I hit ball to middle/ right part of fairway and have to hit it back to the left. It feels like I’m hitting ACROSS my body and often I flare it R or hit a push slice. I’m thinking it’s alignment issue but don’t know how to fix/help myself. Brian in Pennsylvania USA
Great video as usual Alex. I lose a ton of strokes on the green. (One reason is because my home course has very slow greens, and others I play at is like putting on ice) Can you do a video to help us 3 putters please?
What about the hybrid? Treat it as a wood, left foot forward?
Which stance for fairway woods?
Well I’ve just done my 3 min drill and now I’m going to try this at the range tomorrow!
🙌🏼🙌🏼
man i wish i were in the U.K. i'd come hire you!!
what about long iron, should i do open stance , what about wood 3 , a bit open stance?
Gonna play later on... I will let you know
Great video as usual, but with a main tendency to hit ugly hook or quick hook, I'm scaring that this drill will worsen the flaw...
Tried this today after a 94 yesterday. 83 today. Never going back to “square”
love to hear this!!
First time I played in 7 months on Sunday. Iron's were all over the place..Duffed so many..
Hi Alec does it work for 3 , 5 or hybrids and what would the setup be cheers
Yes, it would be great to see if there were tweaks for hybrids and woods.
I like it
Let me try it out
weird for irons i thought a left foot back will encourage a more over the top outside in path which i struggle.. i thought i ended to do the opposite, which is which hehe
? On the irons, when the foot is pulled back, are the hips aligned with that open direction and I assume shoulders, arms are square/aligned with the target line? Or do hips remain on the target line?
hips aligned with the open direction
@@AlexElliottGolf Thanks, the "aha moment" for me is the re-aligning the driver club face to the target line (re-grip), I think that is why I "push my drives right", club face is pointing right. This is really helpful. Thank you again.
Ok Alex , I get the concept, tried it and for driver, and irons they work like a charm. However, I hook the living daylights out of my 5 hybrid. Iron, or wood stance? Help!
i will try and cover this on another video for sure 🙌🏼
@@AlexElliottGolf thanks Alex
its winter here
I have 80% a litle slice on the end off balflight witb my driver. And lost 2 zbots every time with this. Can you help me to turn it right or a litle draw
i will try and cover this in another video
Ben Hogan said that if he hit a dead straight shot then it was a miss hit.
Pure Ben Hogan
Sounds great but who is actually perfectly aligned anyway? Maybe in practice with a alignment stick but it’s odds on that high handicapper is very inconsistent with alignment
true!
Won’t pulling the leg leg back promote out to in path?
Not on this occasion
For irons.... would this actually be a negative since I pull my shots to the right? Seems lime it would make me shoot on the wrong fairway hahaha
I know what you mean but no it shouldn’t do 🙌🏼
Isn’t Hogan foot diagram in his book like that?
What do you mean right shoulder tucked back
push it back slightly
@@AlexElliottGolf Ok. Going to do it Thursday
@@AlexElliottGolf Ok. Sounds good. Going to try it
when Cowens told you this? Alex, Alex is it true??? 🤣🤣 or it's like when you proclaim yourself to be among the top 50 best coaches.......in the whole world😅😅
Yeah that’s right, and yes I also worked my arse off to be awarded with the top 50 coach award by golf monthly. Thanks for tuning in Stefan. 😀
Ben Hogan said if you hit the ball dead straight it was a accident.
Even with a long iron….(?)
And shoulders stay square?
i like to see them pulled back a bit / tucked on with driver, i did demo this
Uh….. I believe Ben Hogan comes to mind?
Yeah 🙌🏼

You just have to get the ball to the green first within chipping distance on the 2nd shot ! Then pitch n putt ! Par every hole is your friend ! It pulls your score down !gets you closer to 72
Doesn't work. Ive been doing this for 22 years and I stink
