LIVE Q&A WITH ALEX ELLIOTT AND AE EXCELLENCE HUB MEMBERS
PGA instructor Alex Elliott hosts a comprehensive live Q&A session focused on common amateur swing faults. He demonstrates specific drills for fixing hooks and slices, provides a blueprint for adding driver distance through 'overtraining,' and explains how to master wind-resistant punch shots. The session also covers the importance of equipment loft settings for slower swing speeds and setups for optimal iron compression.
To add distance, you must temporarily sacrifice accuracy during 'overtraining' sessions to build raw clubhead speed.
A lower launch with slow swing speeds is detrimental; golfers with slower speeds often need more driver loft to maximize carry.
For better iron compression, ensure the clubface is square (not open) at setup and feel 55% of your weight on the lead side.
Fix a hook by rotating the grip slightly left and placing an obstacle outside the ball to neutralize an extreme into-out path.
Use a 'mini driver' or shorter shaft if you struggle with consistency, as shorter levers are easier to control.
