Hey there, my name is Alex Fortey, the founder of The Art of Simple Golf and in this video I'm going to show you a weird trick that Nick Faldo uses to hit the ball straighter. Some people might think it's strange, but it actually works really well. So if you're looking for a way to improve your golf game, stick around and I'll show you what he does for perfect golf swing tempo.

There is something destroying your golf swing, and I wager you haven't even considered it. You've been chasing all the technical solutions for your golf swing, getting frustrated. But if you overlook this one thing, you are gonna stay frustrated and stay inconsistent. I am talking about tempo, but don't think it's boring because if your tempo is quick or if it is snatching, your shots are gonna be so much worse.

The reason I know that you are overlooking tempo is because of the thousands of golfers I've helped across the world really ever pay attention to tempo. And it doesn't mean to swing slow, it doesn't mean to swing soft, but that is the starting point. Find your tempo and I promise you your game will skyrocket. Who do we admire? Ernie Els, Fred Couples, people like this. VJ Singh, smooth swings that look like you can just do them for days without worry, but they still deliver power.

Tempo in your golf swing a key that most golfers overlook... it's a secret weapon for more power and golf swing speed as well as reliable consistency. It should be a foundation of your game to make sure it's as ideal for you and to maintain it. With every shot from irons to driver. Swinging Slower To Hit The Ball Farther

Have you ever been in a situation on the golf course where you hit the ball short distances AND it just goes to the right or left? If so, you’re not alone. In fact, most amateur golfers have trouble hitting the ball straight let alone longer and straighter. And here we are about swing slower to hit the golf ball farther. However, there is a tip from Nick Faldo that can help you overcome this problem – and it’s a bit weird and he calls it Powder puff or power puff.

Faldo said "powder puff", not "power puff". A powder puff is a fluffy ball that women used to use to apply face powder. The term became synonymous with doing something very gently.

It’s amazing how often one tries to lay up on a shot with water in front of you and then the shot goes absolutely supremely well straight into the water! Indeed sometimes you even wonder as you’re just about to hit the shot as clean as possible just before swinging and maybe this could go into the water. Alternatively I’m pretty sure some of the biggest drives that I’ve ever made of all come from absolutely nowhere and I wasn’t looking for a big hit I just absolutely hit it out of the middle and with the correct tempo. Another great video that gives us plenty to think about. Well done ❤

This helps me with tempo-
I take a practice swing by swinging the Club forward about a foot, and then completing my full backswing.

When I take my real shot, I ‘imagine’ that same feeling of the Club going forward a foot in front of the ball and then returning (before I actually begin the swing).

Your golf swing is one of the best I’ve ever seen. I wish I had your swing. Great content as always Alex.

[leecorcoran]

Simply one of the best swings of all time ⛳️⛳️👍👍👍

[guyr]

This is so true, getting too fast and arms take over as your trying to hit the ball, slower tempo for me means legs/hips get through and I finish balanced and through the ball

[andygreen]

Spooky timing. I went to the range this week to work on driver. I chose a 7i to warm up and just hit some fairly gentle 'fluid' swings to get my body working. These shots were some of the best iron shots I had hit in a while, carried the same sort of distance as when I get after it!!

[vuluu]

Great, thanks a lot. I wish I saw this video when I started

[netraroka]

This video tally changed my game and consistency .

[htkoko]

Thanks Alex, I found that mine is about 8 or 9, and the ball flight and direction is much better and more predictable

I cannot believe you are using a Ben Hogan driver! I NEVER see any youtube videos with instructors using that brand! Kind of refreshing to see. 😁

[martinrenzhofer]

I was told to begin the range warmup with a soft 7-iron and work from there. That seems to work (when I practice).

[thehairygolfer]

Nick Faldos 2 VHS videos were my teacher. Shame they never made it DVD as the contents are as true today as the yever were. Most of my practice is based around 7 iron feet together and a slow swing and timing. It's surprising how far it goes with so little effort.
Take your 7 iron swing to your driver not your driver swing to your 7 iron.

[FredCDobbs-erqd]

I used to watch Fred Couples swinging and I watched the speed of his arms or body, NOT the golf club. It amazed me how slowly he was actually moving. The club obviously went very fast because the ball was going very far, but he was doing it with "slow" instead of fast.

[juggalo]

I tried this yesterday on the course. Had some of my best shots with clubs that usually give me a fit (6i, 3w). Unfortunately I couldn't chip or putt to save my life.

[meistertynemouth]

It is amazing how far I can hit the ball by swinging easy. Unfortunately the hardest thing in golf for me is to swing easy when confronted by a lake into the wind!

Yesterday I proved to myself that your concept really works. The three holes I put maximm effort into were all disasters that lost the match for me. With 80% swing effort I was hitting fairways, getting close to greens and holding my own against a guy with a handicap 10 strokes better and 25 years younger than me. As soon as I tried to match his distance with more effort in my swing, my game went pear shaped and I lost those three holes. Back to 80% swing for the last few holes and all was well with the golf, but three holes of agressive effort lost me the match.

How will this work with the Body Turn motion ?

3:21 I didn’t realize I was gonna be asked to set a new PR

[DASHful]

yes, it's a great drill. i use are airflow balls to warm up with. and, airflow balls don't go any further when you hit them hard. but, activate the muscle in the left side of the right forearm at the top and you will swing with tempo. in his book, tommy armour told us that the swing was 1 2 and 3. the "and" being a pause at the top. and, when you activate the muscle in the left side of the right forearm it does effect a pause- and, set the downswing into motion when you fully activate the muscle. it's probably best to swing with just your right arm- no club- to get a feel for this.
