This is my FAVOURITE iron golf swing drill! You have to hover then you can hit down!
Yet another great tip. I've been hovering my irons for a little while and I've noticed a massive improvement in contact. Keep these great tips coming Alex, particularly from bunkers with compact sand
This is why my golf swing will never be adequate. 😂
👍👍
Ive been applying this to my driver (alla Jon Rahm), and my irons. My distance has improved so much. Thanks.❤

my closest course has a forced carry on the first hole. after the early spring tips, I pulled out the same club I used to use for it, and knocked the ball over the next tee box, the first time I played that course this year.
Hey Alex, I just had a question regarding takeaway and timing. I notice some pro golfers have a slower takeaway leading to the top of the swing or even pausing at the top of the swing. Is there any reason or benefit to having a slower takeaway? I find myself sometimes rushing my takeaway and can’t find much consistency in ball striking
Yes. It's so easy to get lax in the swing. Or develop bad habits. I have a few I that come through at the worst times. And this one of them.
Wow, timely video. I have been striking the ball out of fairway bunkers really well lately. 5, 6, or 7 irons. In a bunker shot you have to hover your club. I've been thinking about doing that on the fairway next week.
I had a man that I was on driving range with and he says the same. Although I was not sure what he was saying about don't set club right behind ball, hold it back a bit…..NOW I totally understand what he was trying to tell me… thanks Alex can't wait to try this technique.
Over the years I have watched many golf lessons on YouTube and I have to say you've become one of my favorite teachers. Clear voice and lessons ordinary golfers understand. Well done mate 🙂
Hi Alex, I am suffering from hitting to high on the ball and not really hitting it on the bottom. Any suggestion how to constantly hit the ball proper.
Alex,I’m playing Friday and will give this a try. I am a poor iron striker. Wish me luck, will report tomorrow.
Going to try this tomorrow, thank you.
great tip hovering been helping. what does the hips do in correlation to the shoulders. as in do hips fire first or shoulders following hips or more together
Is there an alternative way of practice if a grass range is unavailable? Thanks always for the good instructions!
hey there alex you got great videos but im really struggling on when im delivering the club to inpack the shaft is more upright causing me to hit on the toe ALOT. i was wondering if you have any tips or a video on how to fix this. thank you keep up the work.
