I want to thank you. I've struggled trying to get my low point to be after the golf ball. I was relegated to playing the ball back in my stance to achieve any kind of ball first compression contact. But that led to a steep downswing and too deep of a divot. This knee move changed everything. It was the epiphany I had been searching for. Game changer. Much gratitude. You gained a subscriber.

First great swing tip I got as a 12 year old was from my first caddie master, who eventually became a teaching pro. He saw I already naturally had a good swing so he said ‘get your divot to start halfway through the ball’. Hips then hands.

Awesome! It’s where I suck at golf. Topping and thinning and hitting the ground before the golf ball. Every once in awhile, I’ll hit the ball first and it’s a glorious feeling. Like hitting a baseball 400’. I love to hate this game…..

Ali Taylor is one of my top guys for lessons. watch him you might learn something!!!

[RedwoodGeorge]

A while ago I took a three-day golf academy with the head pro at Kapalua. The thing that stuck with me was when he said: "Forty percent of your greens fee goes to course maintenance. You've already pre-paid for the divots, you might as well take them!"

[philipbaddeley]

This is so simple and such good advice. Also, I not only subscribed last year, I’m lucky enough to live not far from Ali’s location and have had a lesson in person 😀!!

It's a fine line between "moving the lead knee forward" and swaying the whole body forward. In my case swaying led to a crapload of different problems, and the subconscious "corrections" that came with it, including back issues. All the while I thought I was performing "weight transfer" from back to front. I would be mindful that if someone tries this, they do it in verrrry small adjustments, and with video documentation before and after. Just my opinion.

Thanks Ali. I'm watching this on repeat before I play tomorrow!

I've been a subscriber for a few years now and your tips has really helped lower my score! With your videos my game is only getting better. Thanks!

[michaelfagan]

Good stuff Ali, yes it’s soggy in uk on inland courses I’m sure this tip will help 😊

[MegaTubescreamer]

thats cool ali, and just what (among other things, ) i`m trying to
work into my game, just moving the lead knee toward the ball
with no lateral -off axis- sway is helping !😇👍

[bradmurphy]

Ali, well done! I do have one serious question... What do you fix your eye on when hitting the ball? Do you actually aim directly at the ball or not... and if you do aim at the ball do you look at the top of the ball, strike side of the ball, or the front of the ball?

[cpat]

One thing that has helped me shift my weight forward is to never shift it back in the backswing. If I can imagine a spear in the ground with the tip about an inch away from my right hip (I am a right handed golfer) and when I do my backswing I don't feel my weight transfer to my right foot as much as I feel it cycle upwards into my chest. I know it sounds weird but it feels like I am storing it up rather than rocking onto my right foot. Then when I am ready to do the downswing it always me to release that stored up energy down and through the ball. I usually do not take much of a divot but I definitely have been getting contact with the ball first.

Great video Ali..would you suggest focusing on striking the low point, as you have previously said, as well as moving the left knee ?

[rhyndman]

YouTube must be spying on me. This is exactly what I’ve been working on this week. This has made a huge difference for me - it’s a reliable way of ensuring that I get my low point forward and that I get my hips moving around. Great tip.

[BrianMason]

1st time seeing your channel…..great advice and thank you for sharing….had to sub!

[pauljerrymd]

Ali, I have tried to slow the video down to see where your head and eyes are looking when you hit the ball. It seems to me you’re already looking at the target when your club is striking the ground. Is that possible and you’re picking it so clean you don’t even need to look?

[lawrie]

Just subscribed! Love the way you deliver your content thanks

[frankarce]

I played a golf outing and I focused on other players low point after the swing and with all the bad shots they were hitting turf first then ball. I struggle with this on the range and focused on my sternum but will try focusing on the left knee to see it that works better.

[robster]

Love this, i just need to get rid of my mental block that stops me hitting the ground at all.
