I always find yellow balls with two stripes on em. Every course I go to! Weirdest thing. There's usually a massive field of em and if you walk out to pick em up sometimes it just starts raining balls all around you.
@@KJR767sounds like me I go in looking for 1 ball and come out with 5. Edit: Usually that 1 ball that I’m looking for doesn’t have to be mine either just a clean white ball I can play with and tell my friends “yea I found mine I think I can play it” 😂
@AlexElliottGolf Funny, how a swing tip can get your game up to a high standard, and then it kind of wears off, and you have to begin searching all over again.
Not a bad tip to be fair, I would love to see a video explaining what to do with irons when the ball is above and below your feet, where to position ball and where to aim etc
Pff, never trust a guy that uses Titleist Tru Feel balls... lol You dont look at the ball, you look at the back of the ball. Best ball striking advice I've ever had.
Mate i used your toe in drill to draw my driver as some how after 8 years and a driver change it disappeared. Absolutely brilliant tip and I will be using this to help with consistent launch
A pro showed me some tips about grip once _ I asked her where she heard that - her answer was " Mr. Hogan showed me that" - true story & I don't slice anymore . It's all in the grip.
Or what you can do is put your right hand down your right leg to behind your knee then put your hand onto the golf club. That creates a lot of space and can stop the out to in swing as well as hitting up on the ball having a more draw set up with your shoulders. Then you just need to make sure to stand level (never over exaggerate your stance for draw or ball position) and to keep your chest down while you coil your swing, elbow in and head stable. Then boom, perfect drive. The only difference with irons is put your right hand down behind the thigh in the middle vs your knee and obviously smaller stance and instead of ball at the ankle, 1 ball back for wood, another ball for long irons, another ball back for mid/ short irons, and middle for wedges. To compress, push hands forwards a little when set up like cricket so you hit down on the ball
Women comes running into the pro shop, "someone help me, I was out on your course and I got stung by a bee!", pro says "Wow, where were you stung?", woman says, "I don't know, somewhere between the 1st and 2nd hole." Pro says, "Lady first of all, I've got to tell you, your stance is way to wide!"
Another way to do this, set up the same way on the ball with it lined up to the heel of your front foot, put your right hand on your hip and slide it down right above your knee bend, and just bring your hand up to the club. Gives you that backwards tilt and feels a little awkward at first but it really worked for me. Try a few other methods of course and see what fits you the best
Good tip for someone who has a problem of coming over the top, but then again with this tip could lead to a reverse pivot. When someone is throwing a ball in cricket or throws pitches in baseball, when someone is hitting a ball in tennis or once again baseball they don't focus on how to hit the ball, everything just happens naturally. Same here, because golf is a slow game, people tend to focus on mechanics. Stop focusing on anything, grip it and rip it!!
ive got an old vhs somewhere of me explaining exactly the same thing when i was about 11 haha. filmed around 1990. true story. i will have to find it lol.
Tilt still doesn’t matter if swing arc and general athleticism are lacking. Most golfers should start by hitting easy 3W’s from tee, grab an extra club for approach shots, and spend as much time at the practice chipping/putting greens as they do trying to hit “bombs”. A “bomb” is meaningless if you constantly three putt or thin every chip.
but what if you drive it of bounds so start with 3 off the tee. Poor short game and /or poor driving both result in poor outcomes. It's just a difficult game where everything needs to go well.
Instead of this I started setting up about 4 inches or so behind the ball with my driver. I'm very much a novice BUT I hit my drive square every single time in my last round! It's worth trying out everyone!
Spine tilting is catastrophic for one-plane (rotary) swingers, as they don’t need more width. It’s good only for two-plane (upright) swingers, as they need more width. It’s a width-creating move, catastrophic for one set of fundamentals but good for the second. All of this is brilliantly laid out in Jim Hardy’s The Plane Truth book and his following books, along with his 3-part DVD and subsequent Secrets from the Plane Truth Vault series of DVDs.
I’ve been marking the exact same 3 blue dots on my balls since i started playing 4 yrs ago. Thought it was unique to me. Now you’ve SOILED IT. SOILED IT. SOILED IT. Lol
Do old school saltwater ball balance. Mark high and low spots and join their circumference. Ball stamps and markings bear no relation to ball balance. Works.
The weight of the dots actually increases draw and lift, as well as ensuring full weight transfer.... I'm graduating to 6 dots and an exclamation point
No, I've been marking my ball with 3 blue dots like that for the past 5 years. Nothing to do with this tip. I do tend to lose a decent amount of balls, so they could be mine! :D
Much easier to just tee the ball with the logo pointing away from the target and look at that 🤷🏼♂️ The problem with telling beginners to do this, though, is there are about a million ways to look at the dots from a bad position, and they usually find all million of them 😂 I just have them setup to the Driver with only their lead hand on the club. Once they have their alignment and are in a solid address position, I have them feel the weight 70% on the inside of the trail foot, then add the trail hand to the grip without changing their alignment. This forces them to tilt away properly, and saves markers at the same time 😎
Hi Alex, I already do exactly what your covering here, my query is where is the focal point on around the green chip and runs & flop shots, thanks Philip
It's hard for me too focus on the dots because I'm focusing on the putter I just broke the hole before and now I have too putt with my pitching wedge but thanks anyway
