- Modern Release Vs Old School Release!! Train your club face correctly! This is huge, and not doing this correctly will have massive impacts on the direction the golf club goes. This is super easy and simple to do, and PGA Alex Elliott Golf has some brilliant demonstrations for you to see, which means you can easily take this to the golf course!
The modern pros of today swing the club very differently to previous generations. One swing released the club with the hands and the other used the body to control the club! This videos looks at the benefit of the two different options, and how you can use these out on the golf course.

Modern vs old school - when did you first learn to play golf!?
48 years ago.
Been playing for a while now. Started late but been playing for about 15 years. I would say my swing would be modern as I try to have a strong club face and turn the body.
About 11 weeks ago 👀😂
16month ago
Back in 95
Alex, this is a wonderful and very clear analysis of the modern versus Traditional Swing. Helps me tremendously. Way to go. I started playing when I was about 11 years old, which is when I first started caddying. I quit golf for about 40 years and now I'm an avid golfer once more. I would describe my swing as traditional.
I'm 76 with a 5 handicap and this year I decided I need to use the "old school release" - just like you've suggested. I started 2023 with a 7 handicap and improved to a 5 when I made this change. I like you approach that there's more than one way to swing based on your individual circumstances - well done!
Win, playing over 50 yrs, Fred Couples my fav swing. Nice tip thx.
I started 5 years ago at age 55. Struggling with the old swing. After looking your videos and a lot of practice I have improved the new swing and lower my hcp with 10 p in just couple of months. So thanks a lot Alex for all your tips.
I love this video, finally an explanation of release that explains the difference between the two!
Love the channel mate.
I’ve only been playing for 3 years and at 6’4”, the modern swing is the way to go for me.
I really enjoy your videos and your simple approach to educating golfers of all levels.
Keep up the good work.
WIN
I started playing golf when I was 18, which is rather a long time ago, the old traditional swing was for me to much like hard work compairing to the modern swing I have learnt in the last year.from yourselve, so for me the big👍 for what we have been taught now, thanks alex
I have been working on the body swing (new) after 60+ years of arm swing(old) with discouraging results.
Your demonstration of the hip turn is the clearest I have seen.
Thanx. I will try that tomorrow to see if it will keep my ball from fading . I always fade the ball if I don’t get them 45° to the left by the time the club makes contact. Straight as Robinhood’s arrow when I do make the 90° turn from right to left.
Thanks for this video this explains allot. I think this is why I struggle now after picking back up the game after many years of not playing consistently. I used to play in the low 80's and now struggle to break 90. I have been watching/practicing to so many modern release videos after not playing for many years. I think I still have pieces of my traditional swing that is not working well with the new instructional videos I have been watching. Not even sure my body is set up for the modern release after a previous back surgery. I am going to have to go in for some lessons and get this figured out.
Started when I was 8. We lived on a lake and my Dad would take us to the course by boat. One spring I got a 5 lb. carp with my 9 iron. I'm now 70 and still doing the drills my Dad taught me. I have to say Alex, the more I watch you the better my game has gotten. Your a fabulous instructor.
Win! This a great discussion, thanks Alex. I have been transitioning to the modern style release. I like it a lot, just occasionally the hands creep back in and I visit whatever is left. Wedges are where I have the hardest time on a shorter shot
Win. Winner winner chicken dinner!
Started in high school. Didn’t play for 15 years or so. I started back a few years ago. Definitely have the golf bug now. Working on modern stack and tilt swing.
Great advice on the release. One of the best I have seen.
Win! Thanks Alex, this explains a lot about my swing. I’m a returning golfer after a 20+ year layoff. The sport has moved on so much. I have a lot to unlearn and then learn anew. Very informative, thanks.
"WIN" Totally agree, At 78 I have problems with the modern swing. I have been trying to get more arms and wrist into my swing. Hopefully getting back some lost distance. I know it will be less accurate but I can live with it. Shot my age 2 weeks ago wohoo.
WIN. Thanks for your videos. I tried them this weekend at the range and couldn’t believe how much easier I was swinging and getting straighter shots. I can’t wait to golf this week.
Thank you Steven, really great to hear your liking all the videos 🙌🏼🙌🏼
Old school and older gent. Probably playing a combination of the 2 now. Really enjoy your incites. Thanks for trying to always simplify the game.
Some of the best info I’ve got! Thanks
WIN!! I've played since I was 5/6 so almost 30 years. Currently transitioning to the modern swing and working on being more consistent with it. Thanks for the videos!
Fantastic comparison for both types of Golf swings Alex. Really cemented in my mind of the two types of swing. I try and implement the more modern technique as to my mind there is less to go wrong on the day where as the other really relies on everything in perfect timing. Thank you sharing your knowledge it really goes a long way for those wanting to improve. :-)
Win!
I'm 53, started 3 years ago. Short, heavy, back and shoulder injuries. I had no idea how differently these things work. Just trying to put together a consistent swing. Probably closer to traditional. I like Spieth's look.
Great video Alex. I like your perspective and approach based on age and athletic ability. I appreciate the open mindedness.
Great video. I started playing golf in 1988. I think I am still athletic enough for the modern swing
Win. Learned to play as a kid, but lately getting into it a bit more seriously and working on my game a lot more. Thanks for all the tips.
Started golf as a late bloomer in my early 30 but after my recovery from my 4th surgery I’m going to take the opportunity to retool my swing to modern. Like Jordan Speith. Sort of the smaller of the moderns that seem to be built like line backer in a football “American” team lately. Hoping to generate power by taking the pressure if my arm shoulders and more core turn. Tony Finau like.
really so interesting, relatively new but good to see other viewpoints
Love this video. I have been playing a modern release with a strong grip. Recently I been trying a weaker grip so I can release in the club more. I am not flexible and older. I think I am going to try a traditional release.
One of your best videos.
Playing for 3 months, its been a struggle and im trying different swings to find what suits me. Good video, didnt know about modern vs oldstyle
Win!! Just got into golf this year and I love it. Actually helps me not drink anymore 🤙
Very interesting…never even thought about this….I’m 54, grew up with the more handsy method, but try to keep up with the modern stuff, I’ve transitioned to the more body dominant modern swing…however, I’ve had both hips replaced and find it much harder to keep up that speed…I actually experimented with the older school more handsy approach and it suits my current body much better…hence, how I came across this video…was looking to confirm my experimentation…appreciate the video…
Just found this!!!! I’m 68 years old. Grew up with the traditional swing. The body swing is now tough to do…and the traditional swing is making me hook!!!!
Oh my gosh ! That is the sickest golf bag I have sever seen ! I'd sport that thing so proudly! I hope I get picked 🤞
WIN. Love your channel Alex keep up the great content a lot of which has helped me out, cheers.
WIN!!!!
Hey hanks for all the tips Alex you make everything easy to understand and apply and it’s very appreciated!
Win!
Started playing last year, i was in a burnout and needed more exercise. I love golfing now :)
Thank you for your great training tips
Just retired and trying to learn the game. Appreciate your instruction. Just happen to need a bag!
Very helpful. Thanks
Hi Alex, I think your expiation between traditional and modern is the best I have heard. In fact you are the only one I have ever heard that has shown the difference.
As I have gotten older I am like most trying to get more distance. To your point I think I got caught between both swings. At 75 I think it’s best to stay with traditional. Unfortunately I have had some injuries and require surgery but I am determined to play good golf again.
I enjoy your videos. Thanks for the great and simple lessons.
Best,
MG
You are very welcome!
Win!!! Love your practical advice. Being a novice, you have made my easier and more knowledgeable.
I hit some of the straightest shots with the modern release but they are never the longest. And it is very difficult to hit a long drive with a body rotation release.
Good video. I'm a beginner and watched some of my swings on slo mo. I definitely do a traditional swing and if I don't whip my hands then I slice.
Like your video, easy to understand.
Win . Good video Alex. I started golf 1985 after breaking my left leg at football. I think that I am more of a traditional guy. Although I am from the UK, the swings I liked were Els and Goosen.
Playing golf many years changed from traditional to modern, more accurate with irons. Will stay with it.
I started golf, by being a fill in, when my boss could not make the commitment to the foursome for a work tournament. I was in my early forties. I had a ball and got hooked. The golfers that stood out to me was Ernie Els, and Freddy Couples. They make ithe swing look smooth and easy. Really enjoy your tips. I am now in my sixties.
Win! Been playing for around 30yrs. Definitely something to mess around with next time I’m at the range.
Win! Been playing for 4 months. Have been enjoying your videos, definitely been helping !
I have been playing golf for over 15 years moving from old tradition to new tradition. Using new traditional method caused me lots of distance. I starting to use my whole body and no arms release. Now I tried to combine the new method on the take back and coming down and use softer left hand and arms going around the body. This will create a torque on the way down with the body and more hands and arms speed.
I’m 70 yr old, started playing 47 yr ago. I like Morikawa’s and Rahm’s swings.
Started learning golf in 1988 (at 33yo). Started playing in 1989. Old school swing with reverse C caused a lot of back issues. I first eliminated the reverse C around 1995. I was a slicer & couldn’t draw the ball at all. Never had lessons but I started closing the face a little to reduce slice & developed a controlled hard fade which also came with a bad pull hook at times (3 of 10 swings).
It wasn’t until around 2005 that I started using the modern swing that I almost eliminated the pull hook & now an unintentional draw, which wasn’t bad. I now have a nice controlled fade driver, long & mid irons. I also can fade my short irons but I have to set up correctly to it or I draw them, which is not a bad thing, especially to get around trees on dog leg left fairway approaches.
Awesome Alex. You made me think about the evolution of my swing which I have never really broken down as I just did. Thanks again for the awesome content & drills.
Love this, good to hear your thoughts too!
Great tips as always.
Well pointed out have been trying for 12 months to try to change my swing hard work
Win. Such a good explanation. Keep up the good work.
Good stuff, thanks man
I started playing golf in the late 1970’s. I was taught the old method and could hit the ball a decent distance but my wood shots never really worked. Fast forward 40 odd years and I am now playing the modern way. Iron shots fly higher because I am not closing the face and wood shots tend to be straighter. I am not hitting the ball as far but I am 71. Iron shots are now very accurate with lots of spin. I have stopped duck hooking shots which is good news but I have noticed that timing is more critical if I want consistent distance. Only doing a 3/4 swing these days but with a stronger grip nowadays. Previously I had to play a very week grip and I was finding that my wrists were hurting after a round. Thanks for the vlog.
Love your video’s they work. WIN
Thanks Alex- good video
A very big and effective deal..!
Great video to consider when at the range.
Thank you so much something to reply confided I think
Alex you are so good to my game.
Win I've been playing a few years now and with the help of your videos I've dropped 8 shots. I do like John rahms swing or a finau swing
Started swinging a club at 7 joined Stockbridge and District at 13 then been lucky enough to play at Moortown for the last 17 years!
"Win".
My favourites are Adam Scott & Justin Rose for pure poise during the swing and John Rahm's 3/4 swing for controlled power. Also love watching Bubba when he lets one rip by aiming over the next fairway!!
That puma bag is really awesome. I'd love to win it, for sure! I probably have a more modern release. If I don't, I will hook it, especially driver. I like jon rahm when it comes to his release.
Loving this comparison the most Alex! Seems I've got lost with intermixing the two styles. This might be a gamechanger to me!
Yes I really wasn’t aware that there were two totally different types of swings so I got lost trying to mix elements of each from different instructors and it really screwed me up. After learning about different swings and that I’m more old school, I’m sticking with old school because I’m way more comfortable and accurate with it. I’ve tried the modern swing and found I may get a little more distance (probably from lower ball flight) but it just feels too unnatural for me and feel like I don’t have nearly as good distance control. I’ve played baseball growing up too so I don’t think that helps with the new swing either.
I like your videos very informative
Great instruction. We'll explained.
At 62 years of age and having started back last year after being off for over 40 years I am seeing both schools. As much as I would like the more modern approach my back won’t let me do this on a consistent basis. My goal is to get a consistent swing to get better ball striking so it doesn’t matter to me which one as long as I can be more consistent. Still working on it. Thanks for the video.
Great tip!
win :) ,great vid as always Alex! :) Dustin Johnson for me has the perfect grip/swing :)
Great Lesson
Win, working hard with the help of your easy to learn videos Elliott 👍🏼
Great video
Win. This bag is a beauty. New to the channel looks like you have some great tips
Win.
Keep up the good work Alex. 👍
Win, thanks for comment Alex, I am trying to work on it. I do notice the difference when I use the body, unfortunately, two shots later hands and arms take over and it’s a pull left shot. 😔
Win - first picked up clubs aged about 3 (1993) didn't really play until 1997 aged 7 when we moved, local course with decent practice facilities, old man was off 1.7 at one point so good foundations
Nice vídeo, nice bag!
that is very interesting, i better understand why bobby lopez is saying one thing and you explain the modern so different. Thanks for the video.
WIN! Thanks for the fantastic golf tips as well!
Win!!! Thank you for the videos Alex!!!
I just started golf, I'm 62 years old just retired, I use a more modern swing.I have limitations with my right foot but I try not to use my hands to much.My distance is not great but very straight when I make good contact.Great tip! I will try and use my body rotation more to speed up my club.
Nice explanation, I play since 30 years, I find myself more consistent the “modern” way. The “old” way is fine but the arm timing is something which you can loose so easily …
I’ve been more serious about golf the last 4 years. I’m more close to the modern release being more on the single plane. Biggest key for me has been more neutral on grip to get the hands more passive. Too strong on grip gets back in the danger zone as you call it encouraging more active hand/arm rotation on release. Interested to hear your thoughts on grip influence as is pertains to type of release.
“WIN” like to see the comparison between old cars new release, and clearing up some questions I had on the “modern” release
Started playing when I was 8. 37 now, I really like morikawas swing, schauffle swing is really good to.
That’s so good to hear!! I love his tempo of the swing
I started when I was 8. We lived on a lake and my Dad would get us to the golf course in a boat. One spring I caught a 5 lb. carp with a 9 iron.🎏
"Win" really interesting comparison and nice simple break down
Liked the lesson
nice to see the difference
Win - Always love the tips👍
Great video.... WIN
Win! Started a couple of years ago
Great bag
Win!! Love the bag colours very good video as always Alex 👌👍💪
And I’d say I started around 11 stopped quickly and re started at around 26-27 I had to change from traditional to modern as my body changed 😂
I turned 65 recently and with my new driver and modern golf swing I hit it 260 yards. I don't use the closed DJ face with the rolled wrist at the top... too painful on my tendons.. I close it on the way down. 45 plus years of play .. many many many swing changes through the years. You'd think I was named Padraig. Win from the last video.
Win - I can see that the modern swing might be a little more consistent than the traditional swing.
Going to try a little bit more modern swing in my practice.
Old school rocks !
