Like Edmund, his right arm has to fold as he takes the club back, but the club doesn’t move as much to the inside of the target line. Alex has to make sure that his trail hand stays more under the club (in an open position), or he could end up pushing the shot right of his target. Alex has a thick, muscular chest, which blocks his left arm from moving back as far as a lot of golfers with similar athleticism. Kind of like Jon Rahm’s. That’s a good thing because he’s not trying to go beyond his physical limitations to chase extra yards. Even with a “short” backswing, Alex can pound the ball off the tee while, more importantly, staying in sync.
Alex is the first of our two models who have hybrid grips, meaning the right hand isn’t fully under, on top or to the side of the handle. It’s more of a blend. In his case, Alex’s grip is what we call “side under.” His trail hand is midway between the side and bottom of the handle.
