*This keeps full control of the WHEEL! One of the key skills to hitting driver linger but also not loosing control!*
Excellent
'Longer'
Can this work for irons as well
I'm 71 and like many of us hackers, the driver has always been my nemesis - always hated it. Until I tried what you're suggesting. I now place my feet no more than 2 clubhead width apart and slightly flare my lead foot. Now, nearly every strike it straight and about as far as I can possibly hit it as my age. Straight is king. This is no longer a drill, it IS my swing.
Setting up with the driver club head about 6 to 8 in h behinde the ball helped me cure my slice i hated the driver for years one simple change of position instantly stopped the slice i live the driver now and can not wait to get her out 250-260 carry and absolutely love it i can hot the ball with my eyes closed now aswell aslonh as i set up correctly first with the ub head 6 to 8 inch behinde the ball and just launch her
@@ChrisSmith-rd6dmwhere are you looking on the downswing? At or behind the ball?
I went to my local golf store to get fitted for new clubs because I am 73 and can't hit the ball very far anymore. After 1-1/2 hours of trying the fit me he brought over their Pro teacher because we could not figure out how to fit the club. I was hitting the toe 100% of the time and topping the ball many times. He watched me for a couple minutes and had me move my feet about 2 feet closer together, I hit the center of the club and hit the 7 iron 155 years. I normally hit it 100 yards and top the ball 30% of the time. We decided I needed lessons before I get new clubs. I told him I felt like my feet were basically standing together. Your video perfectly explains my problem.
Been playing golf for many years. My old high school coach would have us all do this drill. I remember a kid on our team adapted it as his swing as it worked so well. I had completely forgotten about it….as I am now 68! So yesterday, I’m playing horribly and was desperate and for some reason on the 14th hole remembered it. So on the tee box I placed my feet together and hit a beautiful drive! Finished the round this way with a complete turnaround in my swing! Got home all excited and googled feet together drill. Found this video and you confirmed my thoughts! Just subscribed. I feel this really coordinated my arms and hands as the leaders of my swing and not the body..club head speed much faster and crisp hitting through the ball. I feel like a kid at Christmas. Playing later today and excited for results.
What was the verdict
I used this technique today on the golf course and it made quite the difference with my driver and my irons also, thanks for the tips Alex keep them coming!
I have struggled for a while with driver , even thou my handicap suggests that i shouldnt have any issue (6.4) however tried this at the range tonight and can honestly say that ball striking, shape, height was much better than ever - cant wait to take it to the course and test it out more. Thanks Alex, a great tip that gave me instant improvement.
Hi Alex...this just makes so much sense. Can't wait to try it next Saturday morning!
Great message and lesson Alex. Keep it coming.
Nice to see a young Pro using Old Golf Drills 😊😊
Absolutely
This is exactly how I stand!! I actually figured it out myself! and hey my ball is in die middle of the fairway! Thank you for all the great lessons!! 🥰⛳️🏌🏻♀️🦓
PAUL I figured out on the range if I move my back foot back slightly as if for a draw it flies straight .
Very clever Alex. So simple, so effective in maintaining balance.
great video. did this Friday and. worked well especially gave me the feeling of ease re hitting up on my ball off the tee. I am now using a 4 inch tee and with the feet closer together works well straighter and slightly longer. I will keep it up
LOVE this! Can't wait to try it!!
wow can't wait to try this thank you.
This is crazy awesome. I will def give this a try my next trip to the range. I feel when I swing the drive, my body, sways, leans and turns way to fast which leaves the club behind me causing slice. This technique makes so much sense cause I see that it keeps your body from losing control as I seen to do. Thanks again Alex, your the best!
No. You are leaving the club behind you, but you are casting from the club not staying with your upper body, causing you to swing outside in, producing your slice. It is physically impossible to swing on plane if your right shoulder gets too far ahead of your hands.
Thanks for the tip. I took it to the range yesterday and saw an improvement in my swing.
Such a great tip. Tried it today and hit 13 of 14 fairways. A real confidence booster. Thanks Alex.
Fantastic!
This actually helps your contact and follow through to keep it on a straight line through the ball - For the high handicap golfer with a wide stand who swings approx 90mph, it will drop you down to about 80 / 85 mph but contact and follow throgh will actually give you about a 25 yard gain on your driver as will not be coming across the ball. Will also stop those duffs / slices, duck hooks and skyballs. Oh and you will stop those power leaks before striking the ball.
Don't give up on your swing speed. You have to learn the new release point for your new stance. Figure this out and you will be swinging just as fast if not faster. Closing your stance probably has you releasing too far past the ball. You must now release the club sooner. Use a golf impact bag to learn your new release point. New release point is hitting slightly up at contact.
It actually works. With as accurate and with decent distance, I will be sticking with the narrow stance from now on. Great tip!! Thanks
I tried this at the range today! I’ve had issues with maintaining my balance through the swing! While awkward at first, I started making excellent contact and straighter down the range! A very helpful tool! Thank you Alex!
Fantastic!
Alex, you are good! Great video!
Great tip! Thank you for this!
This information is the real deal. I took this to the course, not practice range and had my most consistent driving day in the last three years. Your videos are simple and golden. Keep it up.
Great to hear!
Excellent great tip
Alex it always looks easy with you behind the ball.im trying it though.thanks
Just had a lesson where the instructor gave me this drill. It's worked wonders with all clubs, not just driver. Great tips!
I never had thought about hitting em driver with small stance before.. i usually hit my short irons with small stance before going normal shoulder wide stance to make all my iron shot (wedges to 5 iron) more consistence because i wanna feel the swing arc correctly.. i didn't realized i could do the same theory for the driver like that.. thanks a lot mate.. imma definitely try that at em range today to get the proper feel and arc swing for my driver so i would not sway or go over the top with my driver.. very valuable insight indeed 👍👍👍
The summer that I improved my swing the most - I had joined a driving range. Since I could hit all the balls I wanted, I "experimented" with drills. I actually did this - swinging driver with feet touching - and was shocked that it would solidly improve accuracy (though I did lose some distance). I did end up altering my driver stance to being more like my old 5 iron stance (feet only about 15 inches apart. I have since gone back to almost 30 inches - but am going to try this again. I'm 62 years old, and I realize I will probably turn better with my feet closer together.
I worked this out the other day by accident ,this video confirmed it for me. This 100% worked for me. I sorted my grip out to a stronger grip which help alot then this was the cherry on top. Hit 270 yards draw. I couldn't believe it! So 3 years of hitting slices gone now, it will improve my game massively as i'm great with irons and wedges! 👍👏
Gonna try this drill thank you!
Great tip! Definitely taking this to the range tomorrow 👍🏻🏌🏻♂️
I was spread out all summer long this year (2023) - just spread out feet so wide shoe a 18 wheeler could drive they.. this post weekend i narrowed my feet (like this teaching) and was crushing my drives. Plus it helped me have a into/out swing which produced a draw,. This really helps guys especially if your spread out and spray everything to the right weak weak fades. Try this it really works
😂that was funny. I guess I have nothing to lose at this point. I'm going to try it.
Great tips
I tried this today. Huge improvement. Thank you!!!
I ultimately ended up going slightly wider than 2 club heads.
You have completely changed my golf game
Thank you, professor! I assure you that I'll try your technique a soon as tomorrow! 👏 ☺🤔
The hula hoop is my favorite visualization ever. It is so easy to imagine in my mind now. I have a nasty slice most days and can't wait to see if it helps on the course next week.
love your tips wish I could get you to come to my course for some lessons
I have been using this drill when i start having issues with my irons, but never thought of trying it with the Driver. Cant wait to give it a go at the range...
This helps a lot
My driving has been awful of late. I'll definitely give this a try at the range on Sunday xx cheers Alex
i actually discovery it by accident as i was struggling with my drivers all the time. then one day i decided to be more upright stance and feet much closer even slightly closer than on my irons for my driver and it forced me to "rotate" . and i did not even had to swing too hard. my drives were consistent 200-210m ( total) and days when the star aligns 240m :D i am swinging only around 91-96mph . That said it really help me so much to hit my driver straighter. some days when bad habits creep in i always go back to the basics of that drill.. seeing this video validates what i am doing. thank you for sharing this awesome tip.
You are the best Alex!. In a recent tournament I noticed that my longer drivers came from having the feet closer. I thought…I am doing wrong, this cannot be the way to hit the ball. And then I have just seen your video. As said: you are simply the best!!. Best wishes
Good stuff thank you so much so happy to hear that this is helping you
Great advice will take this to the course
Glad it was helpful!
Alex, always enjoy your content, question, can you take the same logic with all your irons and woods ? Thank you
so i somehow lost the abilty to hit nice drives/chips of the tee after not playing for a week (weirdly enough i chipped and putted better) but was very annoyed the most fun part of the game wasnt working out, i fixed it with the mindset of the club going under through instead of over, like you mentioned in your video. this helped hitting it flush again and straight, now to work on the distance to get all it back together.
Hi Alex , Today I tried your video tip at my local range, and oh boy, what a transformation 😮 once I slowed my swing , i kept losing balance 😂 , my ball striking was pretty awesome, really crisp and the ball speed jumped up too. Last April, I weighed 22 stones and have been on a diet with slimming world, and now 16:08lb, and as you can imagine, my swing was all over the place as I continued to lose weight but this drill has taught my body how to swing ❤ can't thank you enough ❤ thank you ... I'm 64, and there's life in the old dog yet 😂❤
Wow amazing, great work!! 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Brilliant!
Great information.🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦
Great video, Pete Cowen is the ultimate authority. How about for fairway woods and irons?
Good video and advice, i started feet closer together watching Bobby jones. I warm up on the range with feet touching as you said, works great and i understand the how now, i thought it was making the hips work properly. Ty
Brill, really good to hear!
Great tip. If you use this do you still lean a little to the right?
I hope I can use this tip. I need a little bit more length these days.
Ok I played a round using this stance and I drove the ball further and more straight AND my back has no stiffness. I even went to the gym last night. Thanks Alex.
Awesome !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Fantastic
Great tip
Glad it was helpful!
Excellent!!!
Many thanks!
I’ve been golfing just under a year and my ball contact is inconsistent. With that being said some of my furthest drives have been with this technique. It’s incredible how much better your hall contact gets
Been using it In play..much to the AMAZEMENT of my mates
I'll try it on the driving range later!
I’ll try this on Friday
Tried this in my medal today, came second out of 53, found every fairway a little longer on some holes but the main positive was being straight and finding every fairway . Cheers Alex 👍
Brilliant! You are so welcome 🙌🏼🙌🏼
@@AlexElliottGolf first in weekend medal today so two placings in medal in a week, so your tip worked brilliantly 👍
I've used this drill for both my driver and irons whenever I need to reboot my swing. it really works!
Love it!
So glad!
Great video, not only Pete Cowens but also John Jacobs. Better balance and better arm swing. Would you recommend also trying a pause at the top. Thx Steve F.
I’ve been doing this for a couple weeks now since I watched this video and it works like a charm!
A couple of weeks after watching the video that came out 16 hours ago, eh.
czcams.com/video/ggPBx1njgJs/video.html@@jasontheflyingfarrierhays
He released this info 7 months ago. These guys release similar videos all the time to stay relevant.@@jasontheflyingfarrierhays
What reference point do you use for irons if not ankles?
Thank you again pal.
No worries
I used to watch anybody on here for tips but Alex here explains everything to a point where it's almost impossible to not understand.
I've always had a wide stance this has helped me to bob and stand up during the drive.
Question do you still tilt ?
Well done kid keep it going
Brilliant
Alex, I almost never comment on line but I have to tell you that you are the best!
Thank you , appreciate that !!🙌🏼🙌🏼
may I ask what software you are using to draw the ball flight? it looks cool
Good Vid. Only problem is hitting the ball with feet together like that takes months if not years of practice. You got to learn the rotation, take away, release and everything first
Will try this next time I’m on the course. My driving has been awful lately. It looks like very little shoulder tilt is required with a narrower stance. Would this be correct? Thanks.
Did this today! Kept feet more or less same as irons. Ball straightened up alot. Cheers
will have to give this a go next time out. Thanks I'll let ya know how it works.
Let me know how you get on!!
This is a good drill, feet together drill.
I hope to see you a 18 hole match on the channel from you to see how you play love the content keep it up
What do you use for showing the shot tracer?
I will try this today been struggling with my driver set up with my width of stance
Did it work?
How does this concept translate to irons and fairway woods. I’m playing today and look forward to giving the narrow stance a try.
Good day. My name is Leandre from South Africa, and I am 58 years young.
First of all, thank you for such wonderful training contests.
I need to say that I have gone from a 17 handicap to a 7 handicap with your training. I wish I could get a personal training session, but I think the distance is too great, to meet you in person.
I just wanted to find out something, please. How to choose a club in cross winds. One of the courses that I love playing is in the mountains, and there are a couple of holes that always have some cross winds blowing. Please advise.
Thank you.
Leandre de Bruyn

I assume it applies to irons as well ?Good lesson
buen entrenamiento
As someone who is 54 years old and had both hips replaced, I found this naturally as I needed more rotation and using a wide, more standard driver stance, wasn’t working for me…In my 20s and 30s before I had my hips replaced, using the normal driver stance, I was driving in the 215-225 range…nowadays, I’m hitting it in the 250-265 range with a club head speed of 100mph…I definitely make much better contact, more consistently…
I'll give this a try
Let me know how you get on!!
What do you think of Hank Haney ‘s drill ?
Makes sense.
This drill really sorks!!
Can u use this with irons ? Middle /long irons
Hey Alex! Been watching for awhile now and I always wanted feedback from a coach! As a 12 handicap golfer, I struggle with my driver to this day. I have watched your videos and I have had different results with my driver! Some rounds I snap hook, some rounds I slice and some round it's perfectly straight. I was wondering, the more things I think about during my swing, the more I tend to make an error. What are some minimal tips I should think of when going to hit my driver? Cheers!
Hi Blake I would use this as a reset for sure!!! This is a great way to get this swing back on track
Appreciate it! Looking forward to your next video for awesome guides!@@AlexElliottGolf
Startet playing with closer feet about last year, as it makes turning a lot easier and reduces over the top chances, as you said yourself.
10.30am tomorrow on the golf course I am trying this!
Let me know how you get on
@@AlexElliottGolf Will do!
How did you go?
Wow! My home course is unbelievably narrow and unforgiving. I'm going to try this to hit it straighter!
You got this!
What is the name of the device you are using to get the numbers eg distance
I do the exercises in my practice net.
Stage 3 worked well for me, i also drop right foot behind left at 45 degree, did lose a little distance but very accurate drives. Did not work with irons for me.
