    The tight draw pattern with that lead leg action is a thing of beauty. It's nearly my exact issue. And I find when I do the proper pattern it feels so wrong lol. But on video it's way better. Just used to slowing to save it. And when I played 70 times a year before kids and was a scratch to 2 handicap it was fine. But now with kids and playing time is drastically less it's harder to do.

    Your feed recently popped up and really liking it.
    Years ago, spent some some time training to drive my left hip back instead of just pushing up to improve my hip action/clearing. That reduced my early extension (goat hump) and created more SS with what felt like less effort. You're probably the only guy I've seen talk about it and demonstrate how effective this is.

    I struggle and have been working on this exact thing. Too much continual lateral movement and no matter what I did or how much extra effort i put into it I couldn't get club speed up even after some speed training and a bunch of work in the gym. Discovered this a couple weeks ago with a great coach and saw an immediate uptick in speed when I do it right. Still working through it and getting it to feel normal. Always hard to undo years of a bad habit.

  • @trebledawson
    @trebledawson 5 месяцев назад

    Sequencing and kinematics are everything. To piggyback on your comment at the end of the video, when you "try" to swing harder, what's happening is that you are engaging muscles in your arms. Whenever you engage a muscle group, your sense of balance will force you to subconsciously move other muscles in the opposite direction in order to stay balanced. So when you try to "swing harder" with your arms, your torso will actually engage in the opposite (read: wrong!) direction, causing you to slow down and get out of sequence. Conversely, when your body movement is fluid, there is no countervailing muscle engagement, which enables you to swing faster. Essentially: when you "swing harder", you're actually fighting yourself, it's just that the muscles that fight you aren't the ones you think they are.

    I do this type of resistance band work with my patients all the time. Pull them into their weakness so their body can resist it and build up strength where necessary. Smart way to incorporate this concept into the golf swing.
    Conversely, you can use resistance bands to help in the direction they need to feel so their body knows what it's not doing correctly.

  • @gomer2813
    @gomer2813 4 месяца назад

    First part was big for me. I've only heard about swing catalyst from people who talk about "ground force," and they always talk about the "verticle force." I had a hard time taking that seriously, because I knew from experience, theory, and proprioception that the forces that they call "horizontal force" and "torque" surely are also important. Turns out, Matt confirms this, and he's definitely smarter than almost everyone else in the golf space.

  • @jackwilson1245

    Matty, thank you for all the great content! Ive mentioned this in a comment on some older txg vids but our swings are pretty similar. Im a lefty also, same speed as well. I fight lateral slide of pelvis in downswing. Trial hip fires way to hard, i get tilted too early and basically stall flip. Battling over draws and pulls/pull hooks for a few years. I feel like maybe some band work reaieting the bad motion might be the cure! Slow swing with a ball i can do the proper motion. Once i add power, trail hip fires into ball 😂.

  • @keenanvanzile
    @keenanvanzile 5 месяцев назад

    You are achieving proper "internal rotation" what we call "post" in the golf swing. Being able to properly "internally rotate" instead of this "jumping" that TPI advocates is sufficient. Internally rotating is the foundation and crucial for efficient shift of GRF. Matt if you can be stronger through your right internal obliques this will help in internally rotating naturally. The internal obliques help for rotation of ribcage as they help to initiate, accelerate and slow down of the golf swing. A symptom of this - looks like you pull the handle which could delay how efficient you internally rotate. If you had the left arm elbow in front the body instead of behind as you pivoted 110 would be a cake walk.
    Your pivot should release the arms right through the ball. A lot of golfers cant achieve this because their right and left halves are out of sync. Amateurs cant get into their right and struggle to get back into their left side - that is fault of not properly internally rotating.
    If you don't have connection (GRF) and naturally suffer to open up efficiently causing the shoulders to be overactive: this all is direct symptom of not using internally obliques which would cause you to overly use the left arm by default - when you have strong internal obliques your arms are relaxed and feel like a whip. Thus speed increase by default.
    TPI advocates a push from front of lead foot backwards to simulate jumping motion, which causes you to spin out. For high handicappers this can cause a lot of shit to go wrong. It is easy to misinterpret - they also base a lot of their findings on the measurement* of tour pro's but those tour pros have achieved their own success without them. So you tell me what's really good.

  • @benjaminberan7645
    @benjaminberan7645 5 месяцев назад

    With irons, you only need enough horizontal movement foward to move the bottom of the swing just in front of the ball. Once you are at this point you must "throw the brakes on". This allows you to release the clubhead and creates the clubhead speed.

    Matt, In the early 2000's I studied Tiger's swing and my biggest takeaway was what you're demonstrating here. I didn't have the video to support you have but knew from how things felt that I was doing exactly what you naturally do. I studied Tiger's positions and developed feels for the changes I needed. After 18 years away from consistent golfing I've had to re-learn everything and at 56 yrs old my body quickly lets me know when I'm doing things wrong (many aches and pains).

  • @benmartinez8995
    @benmartinez8995 4 месяца назад

    So there are a couple factors to go along with your hypothesis Matt… In your initial swing you have turned your chest quite a bit less than when your coiling away from the makeshift cord which allows you to actually have more width a bigger chest turn and more time to actually turn out of the way of the shot… from down the line I would bet your lead arm on the swing with much more lateral force is higher which is also caused by less pelvic turn and less loading of the trail hip which will make you slide more to hit the inside of the golf ball which your brain k owes how to do cuz your a good player…. If you were to make the same backswing in the second swing as you did in the first and then try to use the ground the same as the second you would have hit it worse and probably chunk hooked it…. Just my 2cents but might be worth a dollar

    How would you correct someone dumping their arms to their side and almost behind themselves in the downswing? My backswing is finally in a really fantastic position, but my previous compensation was trying to combat the over the top move because of my backswing being in the wrong position. Now that my backswing is good,the move to still drop my arms to my side and leave them behind myself (instead of keeping them in front of myself and in good positions) still happens. It’s a difficult adjustment so would love any feedback or drill!

    Seriously, is there a functional purpose of swinging a 7i at 105 and carrying it 210yrds? Many people will probably be working on Driving it farther and having a short 9i or even GW into the green, which certainly makes more sense and easier to achieve, then to break your back and try ripping an iron 2 clubs longer than what is necessary.

      I'm working on a technical change to the swing. I don't recommend people do most drills using a driver, at least initially. Has nothing to do with trying to hit my irons farther independently of my driver, the technique will add sequencing and speed across the bag

      I mean, the functional purpose of being able to repeatedly and “effortlessly” swing a 7i 105 and carry it 210 yards means approach shots from 175 180 are being hit with a 9 iron. Or a short par 4 that needs precise ball placement is two mid irons rather a 3 iron or wood then a 6 iron in.
      And well yeah this speed translates to other clubs obviously
