THIS DRILL MAKES YOU START THE DOWNSWING CORRECTLY!

This is a super simple downswing drill that will make you hit the driver and irons SO MUCH BETTER. I can't tell you how many clients have used this drill and have seen so much improvement from making such a small tweak. In this video we are looking at how the arms work in the backswing, why so many golfers go wrong in the backswing by not realising big downswing mistakes.

The arms in the downswing, the hips in the downswing, rotation in the backswing, all of these things are so important and contribute to you hitting the golf ball longer, hitting the golf ball further, hitting the golf ball straight down the fairway. I know these areas. are where a lot of golfers go WRONG.

This drill makes you start the downswing correctly. This is the home of simple golf tips. The lower body in the downswing is important, but starting your downswing and getting all of this right, especially with senior golfers, PGA pro's and beginner golfers can be hard. This is an EASY WAY!

*I think this is a great way to think of the downswing. Sometimes we just need some simple reminders like this one ☝🏼 🙌🏼*

Many times players and coaches have mentioned this but not go on to explain it in the plain English you use. Thank you and keep the content coming.

Loving these videos Alex, short and to the point they focus on some tips that do really work, it's so simple when you think about it.

Alex i litherly was doing this today before i even seen this vid, and it really does work! i was standing on the first tea box and for some reason i just brought my hands much higher and slower on my back swing and just let rip on the downswing..it was safe to say i played today with a big smile on my face (finaly can hit driver somewhat good) love your content Alex keep it coming :)

Mottram hall golf course looks beautiful. Appreciate the tips 🙏

[dwightpalmatier]

Great advise. Thanks for the quick lesson. It makes sense.

[michaeldownard]

Great video sir!!!! You are best my man!!!! Appreciate you big time!!

[jlherdt]

Awesome video, have you done any videos on early extension yet? It may be the hardest thing I have tried to change in my swing. I can practice with a wall but I haven't been able to take that feeling to the course.

[naashuman]

👍🏻Agree. There is 'that moment' at the end of the back swing where the driver and irons just tug or pull at your wrists or with driver more you lead elbow...that's like a bell 🔔 ringing for you to start the 40/60 sequence.
Cheers 🍻

Thanks for the video on starting the downswing ill definitely try it. I have a question with hooking the ball off the tee. How to stop going left common causes (flipping hands, pulling body left ect) and drills to help stay on the fairway. Hard to score from the rough

Hi Alex, thanks again for another top video! Would you happen to have any tips or ideas for someone that doesn’t have the best twisting flexibility yet?

[rollorescue]

I like old rap from the 90's and this reminds me of "Ring My Bell"...so, I envision it as yank down on a big rope that will ring a giant bell above you. Ring that bell, Alex.

[nahnah]

Hi Alex, I feel a bit lost with regards to the hand during or slightly after impact - should the trail hand roll over the lead hand? Can you please clarify this with regards to driving and iron shots? Thanks, Nathan

[justjoddat]

Could you please do a video about how to not let the trail hand take over in the downswing? I seem to have that problem.

[TheMk]

A buddy of mine told me something similar years ago. He said to pretend you're pulling down on a rope when you start the downswing.

[booboojones]

Great video but I’m so inflexible. Can’t even imagine.
