I Couldn’t Lead With My Hips Until I Was Shown This Drill

Video Description

A few weeks ago, I was teaching a golfer who could strike the ball solidly but he was losing all his power. Every shot leaked right, his contact felt weak, and he couldn’t figure out why.

Within minutes, I spotted it… he wasn’t leading with his hips. His downswing was all arms. The moment I showed him this simple drill, everything changed he started compressing the golf ball properly and instantly gained 20 yards of carry.

I used to have the exact same problem. I couldn’t feel how to start my downswing with my hips, and it was costing me consistency and distance. But once I learned this movement, my whole swing transformed.

In this video, I’ll show you the exact hip-lead drill that fixed it — step by step. You’ll learn:
✅ The correct sequence to start your downswing
✅ How to feel your hips leading instead of your arms
✅ The easy at-home drill that grooves perfect rotation
✅ How this one move adds effortless power and control

    Teaching 1000’s of real club golfers each year I have fund this 3 level formula is the essential mix of skills to implement a hip first golf swing

    Awesome lesson! That's what I struggle with the most. I'm going to practice that! Thank you sir!

    Love your swing. If I had it I'd be very happy. 65, a 10 handicap, still have great swing speed and flexibility. I just dont know where its going. Maybe this will help. Thanks Alex.

    I think I just heard my sacroiliac crack while I was watching Level one. I may have to leave this to you young whippersnappers.

    Alex,

    Ive been meaning to reach out to you and being a channel subscriber. I recently played a round of golf at my local course. You had mentioned in one of your previous videos about reducing or eliminating a person's slice/hook with driver. Well my mate, your tip about moving the ball positioning back towards the middle of your stance actually paid me dividends. I was hitting the middle of fairway and even off the first tee. Believe it or not, my drives were actually longer as well. I do typically keep my stance at a shoulders width apart. This is and has been a long time struggle in my game for several years. I so much appreciate your channel and all your tips.

    On a side note, I also teed my Golf ball lower for tighter holes and up about halfway or three quarters of the ball for wider fairways or more for downwind holes. I am going to keep playing these tips and only hope to improve my driving and accuracy from the teebox with driver. Much thanks mate.

    What is the weight distribution between right and left and left? Are you putting more weight on the front foot?

    Played golf 60 years with hands and arms. Switched to "no hands and arms" swing about 10 years ago. Still working on the hip turn. This video clarifies what I need to do (I was close already). You explain things so clearly and I'm grateful. I'll get this yet (I'm 87 now)!

    Just admit you dont know how to explain the golf swing and stop misleading everyone with these videos just to get views.
    Good golf instructors have a central theme they teach, not just whatever the hot topic in golf is.
    Dan alton, overhand golf, steve pratt and amg golf give the best instruction

    @AlexElliotGolf is this for all clubs or just for distance with the Driver swing?
