The SECRET to GREAT BALL STRIKING with DRIVER, FAIRWAY WOODS and IRONS

I just wanted to say a massive thank you. I watch endless amounts of golf tips on YouTube, much to my golf coaches dislike. However, some of your ball striking tips and 7 minute a day swing drill have transformed my game recently. I am now able to hit ball-turf shots and am starting to compress the ball much better. My scores have improved, from shooting 90’s to 80’s. Today I hit my first 78. I will keep going with your instruction, as like you I need to get in a good backswing and create some space to turn through. Thanks and keep up the good work.

For all of you that are chopping DOWN at the ball, with your irons, notice that his attack angle is only 3 degrees. The club is traveling close to the ground, for a longer distance than many of you think. Here’s a thought…. Never think chop down at the ball. Just do exactly what he said. Make sure the lowest point is slightly ahead of the ball. If you’re someone who takes massive divots, then the club needs to be more like a plane landing on a runway for you. You’re too steep! Imagine the plane is slightly landing, then gradually taking back off. You need to “flatten” the approach into impact, and beyond. The key is the lowest point being slightly after the ball. Your concept, and intention has to be correct. This is a great video.

Since I've started following you, I've tried the concentrating on a spot ahead of the ball for irons. It's not yet perfect (I'm an OAP and have to get rid of 50 years of 'Keep your eye on the ball'!) but it's definitely working when I manage it. As I get older my distance diminishes but I have seen an increase in my carry and roll out with the irons, for which I thank you. Now to try the driver focus behind the ball and see if that works too. At my best I was around 14 handicap but am now up to 22 after a few years away. Driving range tomorrow with my grandson (who has been having lessons and is getting dangerously near to beating me...) and a match with him on Wednesday. Thanks for these tips, I need to have them to keep up with him. Regards from East Sussex!

Watched your video last night, so just back from the range using your technique and I was hitting my 3 wood more correctly than I ever did before. No extra distance yet but after 20 balls I'm hitting the ball without topping or slicing it about 80% of the time. As a very senior golfer anything that gives me more confidence is good for me. I am now a committed subscriber to your site, thank you.

I worked out this little gem of information myself about 2-3 months ago through the realisation that where your nose is pointing the body tends to square up and that is ultimately as you've pointed out here the lowest point of the swing, when the arms are directly in front of the chest it has helped enormously and I have started to get some great draw shots with my irons (the ball going out to the right and coming back to the middle of the fairway. As soon as I hit it I knew it was right because you could see the ball with right to left curvature when it started out to the right before it reached the apex. Great video and look forward to more from you Ali!

I must admit I was sceptic when I saw your video but after being on the drivning range I am sold to your method 👌🏻 It really works 💪🏻 With irons and fairway clubs it feels a bit scary 😉 Driver just works like a charm ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you for a great video! (liked and subbed), Being told to always 'Hit down' on the ball with a wedge etc always filled my head with some weird and conflicting images of what was supposed to be going on. But thinking about it in terms of where the low point of your swing is, and how that collects the ball on the way through, has instantly blown away a whole cloud of confusion!!

Just good information. I first tried this with my wedges and what a difference same as with my irons that I was inconsistent with. Working on my woods and that's showing promise tomorrow it's the drivers turn. I especially liked setting the tee height with the fairways so you repeat the same swing instead of having two swings for different circumstances. Bingo!

I took the concepts you described for hitting irons to the range today. Between your tips and a more controlled swing I struck the ball better than I have in a long time. In addition to improved distance, the ball flight was much improved, and my bad shots were much better. I can't wait to give this another go.

I’ve used this tip and it has definitely helped, especially with my hybrids, woods & driver. I never look at the ball, even chipping. I just adjust the location ahead of the ball where my focus is. Thanks!!!

For the driver I found using a focus point back and INSIDE of the ball very helpful. Promotes an inside out path.

Makes perfect sense. Understanding the cause and effect of the golf swing undoubtedly a big key to improving ball striking. Loved this video- great!!!

This is the best videos on hitting a golf ball I have ever seen. Before my shoulder surgery I got into a lot of bad habits to avoid pain. I am now starting to get myself to hit the ball correctly and this has helped me tremendously. Thank you! BTW after surgery the pain is finally gone.

Can't wait to try. After a great drive, it's depressing to chunk the next one. Practice yesterday at looking in front of ball for irons, before watching video....now will look way beyond. Excited to put into practice.

Your two videos ‘swing slower to hit longer’ and this one have really helped this 57 year-old, 7 handicapper with ambitions still to get to 4, improve the quality, accuracy and - (less important to me, but good!), distance on his irons and woods. Thanks Ali.

Ali… you’re a genius! I thought my issue had been weight transfer, but I practiced your technique during my practice round this afternoon, (after watching this video this morning), and I played the best round of my life! Still a little off on the wedges, but I’m using the “iron” technique of focusing a couple of inches ahead of the wedge. I hope this is right, unless you have another similar suggestion specific to wedges. Thank you so very much!

Great video! I've watched a lot of Moe Norman swing videos and guess what?? He always hovers the driver 6-10 inches behind the ball like you do and always makes solid contact. I've tried it and it works great! Just takes some practice to get consistent. I've tried this on the course and the other players in my group are amazed at the result! In my 70s and now hit the ball farther than ever and am even looking forward to shooting my age soon.

Looking forward to giving this a try! Thanks for easy to follow instruction!

This is one of the best and most useful golf video I have ever seen. I definitely had some misconceptions, but things are much clearer now.

This was extremely helpful. Focusing slightly ahead helped move the low point of my swing ahead of the ball. I tend to top my longer irons and fairway woods off the ground.. I was hitting better today than I have in years today using this tip. Thanks!
