hi Alex Fortey here the art of simple golf this 
is where we are simplifying the golf game to help   you play better more enjoyable golf for many years 
to come because it's not going to wreck your brain   or your body and today's lesson is perfect in 
keeping with that because it is about giving you   more flow and more tempo and an Effortless 
Golf Swing. Because if you have a tendency   to throttle the golf club if you have a tendency 
to get aggressive and hit at it and find your   consistency sucks i wager this will help you 
greatly so without further ado let's get into it okay so if you do think yeah throttle 
the golf club and what i mean by that is   do you find kind of get a bit ten 
short a bit snatchy especially under   nerves and do you find that you have a bit of 
difficulty making full swings or full turns   you're kind of like oh my mobility sucks or i 
need a bigger shoulder turn or whatever it might   be this is going to help you a lot because 
it's not so much about technique it's just   about helping you understand that this the 
golf club and everything we're trying to do   can help you accomplish the task rather than you 
trying so hard to make it happen and it's dead   simple it for but first like if you are one 
of these golfers if you find that you do get it's like a cut makeup if you feel or know that your golf swing looks 
a little bit like that let me know and let me   know if this is going to so if this resonates 
with you we're going to take the golf club   and we're just going to take it with our thumb and 
forefinger here the left hand is pretty much going   to stay where it is in your normal grip but we're 
going to make some swings with just the pressure   of our thumb and forefinger is that all of a 
sudden going to give you a different sensation   through the the ball enabling the wrist 
to hinge allowing the weight of the club   work for you okay i'm not thinking anything 
else i'm just allowing this club once i start   the momentum of you know moving backwards of 
turning behind myself of letting this left   shoulder go down because of this grip the club 
hinges all by itself isn't that amazing the club   just hinges naturally because this is heavier 
than this it only becomes problematic when we   try and force it there or resist it even 
okay so if we allow the flow to happen   naturally gravity to help us it becomes a lot 
easier so just by doing these practice swings   seeing how that club can flow really does 
make a huge difference and you'll notice now   you should be able to swing a lot 
longer but the other bonus to this   is going to stop that over the top force 
because we are having to sort of shallow the   club naturally if we try and swing hard it's 
like it becomes more noticeable but if we do like this fashion that you get some really nice flowing easy strikes 
and it's dead simple so we just bring it up   and it naturally shallow out it 
will naturally flow with rhythm   you can hit balls like this or not doesn't 
really matter you can do little shots with   it but the thing i want you to do is just to 
feel what that's like to feel what the you know   that the club is heavier that is guiding you 
a little bit more instead of you trying to   guide it because a lot of times we get too stiff 
with the arms we're trying to hinge the wrists   we need to allow things to flow when we let allow 
them to flow it's a lot less strain on the body   a lot less strain on the arms and 
hopefully don't shank it like that but   i want you to try it so all you do and you can 
build up those swings right thumb and forefinger   and you can build up those swings just to get that 
rhythm get that rhythm and then when you kind of   feel that have a go here with the same sensation 
okay but the grip as normal but still trying to   feel the way to the club feel that flow and allow 
the weight to gather and move for you instead of   against you all right dead simple as i said but 
i think it's really going to help many of you   and if you like that if you're going to 
apply it just give me a like and let me know   and if you have any questions just leave them 
below as well and i will see you next time
