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*

@SHodges28 Месяц назад

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.

Another gem, Alex! Great job!

Thank you Alex for this *so* interesting lesson !☺

@leedawson7036 Месяц назад

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 ⛳️👍

Good Job Alex. Thanks.

@harrybutler1090 Месяц назад

Brilliant video thanks for sharing I'll definitely try it out at the driving range today

@billpirillo8130 Месяц назад

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!

@andyspey913 28 дней назад

Will be trying this tomorrow ⛳⛳

@slicerjohn1897 Месяц назад

Great tip 👍.

@bobvansteenbergen7319 Месяц назад

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.

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

Brilliant 🙌🏼🙌🏼

@steveuk9162 Месяц назад

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

@billwatkins8227 Месяц назад

You and me both brother!

@joebuckley5551 29 дней назад

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.

@BobMahnke-ud5yj Месяц назад

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

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.

@ricksavaiano5640 Месяц назад

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!

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

I hope your golf is really improving 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼

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

@kevjmcc9861 Месяц назад

Tried this last week, helped a lot. Between this tip and less 3 putts, took 10 strokes off

@johnschwartz1536 Месяц назад

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!

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

Well said!and thank you!

@ricksavaiano5640 Месяц назад

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😁

@atamagashock Месяц назад

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

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

Keep up the great work on your golf game 🙌🏼

@normanmah7838 Месяц назад

Another fantastic video. Alex when you open the stance with irons - what is your weight distribution? 50/50 or more 60/40 on left?

@cisco0430 Месяц назад

I hope this works for me. Thx

@jasonn3363 Месяц назад

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.

@billydelashmutt5000 18 часов назад

Good lesson once again Alex. Thanks. QUESTION. Should I slightly open my stance for both my 3W and Hybrid off the deck? Thanks.

@stratovani Месяц назад

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.

@robertdona4269 3 дня назад

Thanks Alex, quick question. Do you open and or close your hip as well as move your feet. Thanks in advance.

@gregspencer8472 Месяц назад

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?

@jonathanstarner3662 Месяц назад

@alexelliottgolf i went out yesterday after work, tried these setups and damn...i was hitting much straighter balls more consistently. Thanks for the help!!

@markvickers6641 Месяц назад

Great vid. What about fairway Woods off deck and tee. Also Hybrids?

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

Coming soon!

@golfrelax9795 Месяц назад

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.

@baysideangler9709 Месяц назад

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

@LOHO8682 Месяц назад

? 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?

@AlexElliottGolf Месяц назад

hips aligned with the open direction

@LOHO8682 Месяц назад

@@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.

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

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

@mikemulberry2296 Месяц назад

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
