  1. Man I've been up and down between 15-18 handicap for years… I don't know what's going on. I want to get better at the game, I'm only 28 but I'm not getting any younger.

  2. Hey Alex, I really enjoy all your content. I would really love to know how to hit a stinger shot regularly with irons and woods. I love hitting them, but I can't figure out what I'm doing to hit them in the first place. Thanks, Mike

  3. Great tips… would love to see a video on grip… grip pressure. I have been trying to implement grip changes for an age. More neutral, more in the fingers, and I struggle with thumb position, and a feeling I can't help regripping before I take the club back. It results in face manipulation… pull hooks and big straight pushes.

    I keep working… but any suggestions… be kind in the comments pls 😂

  4. Alex,
    I liked how you broke the putt up into smaller segments. Do not think of a long putt, but hitting smaller targets over length of the putt.

  5. Great tips strong grip on driver is a game changer for most… But I must comment 12 1/2ft putt… Looks about 6 to me lol

  6. My 2nd shot is my most expensive shot. Both in losing golf balls in the Gorse at Montrose or just mishitting hybrids and long irons

  7. Alex, I really appreciate your videos. One issue I have as a left hand golfer is translating your left to my right. Would you be able to use terms like lead and tailing as opposed to left and right, its way easier for me to follow along that way. Thanks for considering this.

  8. Alex, I'm a 17 HC. I struggle with distance. I loathe having to hit a FW for 2nd shot on normal par 4. I don't keep my trail shoulder down and thru and feel like it costs me power. Any drills besides the slapshot drill? BTW i hit 70% fairways, which isn't hard only going 190 yds on avg. Thx!

  9. if I need to keep a shot low, I'll also go up one club and use a reduced backswing. I've even had a time I really had to keep it under the tree branches, and I went with a quarter speed shot with my driver. worked nicely.

  10. What’s the best way to relax and swing freely on the course? When I go to the driving range I strike the ball better than I have in years thanks to Alex’s advice during the videos. However, when I get on the course I struggle with being uptight and I get frustrated by not being able to go from driving range to the course. Any help/advice would be greatly appreciated…thanks😊

  11. I find when I take a slightly stronger grip it my hand wants to relax and rotate the club face closed. Should I resist that and keep the club face square at address?

  12. I don't know about everyone else the audio has gone very low compared to other channels. Thanks for the video Alex.

  13. Nothing has changed my game more than the grip tip from Alex. I started this last year and I'm ripping the ball now. It's amazing how much distance you get when the ball isn't slicing sideways.

  14. Excellent quick summary of what I need to remember!
    Just started using no5 and made so much difference to my confidence on the tee

  15. Thanks for all the tips. Can you do a video on stopping and controlling slicing and drawing? I've seen carts on in out swings and open closed club faces, but it's not making sense. I would love to see what each swing and club position does and look like.

  16. Good tips Alex. My issue is shanks on par 3s! I'm low 20s handicap and tend to play ok in other parts of my game but shanks are costing me 2 or 3 shots on each par 3 which ruins my card!

  17. Help! I just hit a golf simulator and found out my driver is getting over 8000rpm of backspin. I'm sure I'm losing distance, how do I fix this?

  18. I did 17 to 12 in two summers. For me it was compressing iron shots and spending 70% of my practice pitching, chipping and putting. I would often have the pitching area to myself for hours while the range was full.

    I would challenge the assistant pros to chipping competitions on the empty putting green, they knew chipping and putting made the difference and it was right by the shop so they could nip out while it was quiet.

    My handicap dropped REALLY fast without much iron and driver practice.

    I do credit getting fitted for my driver, hybrid and 5 wood shafts, the heads were 2 versions old but the custom fit shafts made them deadly accurate.

  19. Alex my worst shot is lob wedge into the grain on very tight lie only 12 metres out and it travels 2 metres into a bunker 😔any clues? James

  20. Love the video can you give me a bit of advice about my bag set up at the wood end please. I carry Driver, 5W, 5H and 5 iron. Im looking at getting a 4 or 3H replacement im a 36 HC what would you recommend?

  21. Hi Alex. Thank you for all you do. This one was a great tip for me. Question for you. I have decent direction control with the driver but when I get to my second shot all sense of direction seems lost. Even though I think I'm lined up with my target line more often than not I lose shots eeaknand to the right. This is true with both iron or hybrid. I do use an intermediate target. Thoughts?

  22. Alex, How do you manage greens when they are rock hard? I hit shots into our local greens, clean grooves, seemingly good contact and then bounce through. We have a lot of greenside bunkers, short of the greens and undulations that make hitting short unpredictable.
