always impressed with matts adaptability, thats really where he stands out in the golf content world. its amazing what that opens up for him from an informational content scope
This is the clearest explanation of how to address over swinging. I’ve struggled with fixing this for years - left arm straight, more wrist cock, less turn, more turn, etc. - without any success. After thinking about the inside of the elbow facing the seam of your shirt, I took a few backswings facing a mirror and IMMEDIATELY see a difference. Thanks for the tip, Larry!
I'm impressed to see so many videos on how to improve your golf swing that don't "cure your slice in 10 swings". Just small details, one at a time, to create a more functional and fluid swing. Excellent work!
There is absolutely no doubt your were the T in TXG. Tour level ball striking everyone can appreciate and admire. In fact, I actually feel like I am watching a TXG video watching this. Would be really cool if you and Larry could team up more and find a way to combine your content. You two work very good together.
Larry, you are incredible. I've seen 3 of these videos and I relate to all of it. These videos are thousands of dollars in instruction. I've paid thousands of dollars in week long full-time instruction and this is exactly what we worked on.
This is the kind of golf content the world needs. Highly informations, easily understandable, real fixes to common issues. Knowledgeable guests and Matts ability to work with anyone makes this exactly what we need, great content!
Always impressed when Matt and Larry talk shop about the golf swing. Becoming one of my favorite golf segments on RUclips. This channel is going to gain momentum and grow like mad in 2022! 💪🙌🔥✅🙏🙏👍☝️💯💯
This is a great follow up to Matt’s backswing videos with Tyler and Ian Mellor. It’s refreshing to see you (basically a scratch or better golfer) humbly absorb and apply the coaching in a way that’s relatable to the masses. Not that we all don’t like watching Matt hit bombs, but my favorite videos when you were with TXG were the coaching/ teaching clips with guys like Larry, Tyler, and Gareth!
Larry is certainly talented teacher with a good eye. Most teachers work with what the student brings and don't make those important changes leaving students with the ability to hit the ball but with ingrained mistakes. Even though I have worked with some of the best, I've always wanted to work on the finer points but never found a teachers to help fix them. I've still won my fair share of tournaments but always desired to reach for the higher ring in the pursuit of excellence in my golf swing. Nice to see these points being addressed so maybe we all can learn from videos like this. Perhaps it's the new age of golf teachers? Thanks Matt! .
Matt I swear we are the exact same golfer except from opposite sides of the ball! All of these instructional videos have been great and super relatable to me so keep up the great work!
Wow...WOW! I just had an "aha moment!" Golden video for me, thank you! First I've heard of "faking it" as a description. Looks like that's just what I needed to hear to become more self-aware of my swing mechanics. Bravo, Matt & Larry!
Love how the two of you explain the swing in a way that’s easy to understand. Good to know that a full turn is more important than bringing the club back too far with a fake turn. Keep up the good work, Matt.
Turns out I was watching TXG for Matt and not as much for channel content the past few months…TXG’s fallen off a bit now IMO but I can’t stop watching Matt’s channel
This ties in really well with your session with Ian Mellor. In that video, there’s a bit about the trail elbow not getting deeper than the trail shoulder. To use Larry’s words in this video, that creates “fake depth”. Great content!
The way Matt understands things and dictates that to the viewer is just perfect. Really helps reinforce the concepts they're working on! Keep it up Matty!
The fact this is interesting and has also clearly explained something through a video I want to improve that lessons have just left me with annoying fixes for that don’t work has me wildly impressed. Thank you Matt!
This was one of the most difficult changes I've ever had to make in my swing. It took me 7 months to finally make my backswing consistent, shorter, while having more width. There's alot that went into it, big ones being forcing my right arm to feel straighter, feel like I'm pushing my hands out at the center of my chest, less radial of the lead wrist, a more vertical backswing path among other things.
Great video. This all really hit home for me when Larry said he saw people creating 'fake turn'. If I am getting the message correctly, it appears that this lesson is all focused on eliminating any looseness in the backswing that is artificial and will immediately be dumped when the downswing begins. If you're going to dump it anyways, why do it in the first place!? What a gem. Really insightful. Thanks for sharing this Matt.
I was literally just at the range and couldn't figure out why my swing felt so disjointed (besides coming off of winter). This video made everything crystal clear. I especially liked the comment about the "wall", keeping the trail elbow in front of the torso. I've overswung my whole life, here's to fixing that problem this year!
This is a great subject to cover. I never understood until I watched another video from Athletic Motion Golf, about how far the arms move. Everyone thinks the arm moves so much but it's really the chest rotation with your hip pivot that you should be doing. The added benefit is that when you start the downswing you end up creating Lag between the arms and chest for MORE power! Great fix for an inside takeaway too! Great job men
This is a really great example of how an overswing really changes the way you turn and swing a golf club. I struggle with a turn similar to what you do Matt and I discovered the "fix" on my own a bit while playing recently. This video is perfect to help remind me of the feeling while I'm back in the snow instead of on a golf course lol thanks for the great content as always!
This was the most helpful swing advice video I've ever seen. As soon as I saw it, I knew I was hugely guilty of it. I've never even heard of this concept until now, and it's made a huge difference. I've played 45 on course holes since this video (and I have a SkyTrak) and in one week I've gone from a low 80s shooter to a mid 70s. Way more consistent on the SkyTrak too, so it seems like it was real improvement, and not just a few good rounds in a row. Thank you Matt and Larry!
Such a great video subject. Elbow in conjunction to shirt seem. It makes complete sense now that you both showed it very well to us. Larry's knowledge and ability to be understood is superb. Matt's ability to listen and adapt are special. Matt, you have a great talent in asking questions that clears everything up. You both work extremely well together and your subjects are tremendously relatable.
i love these videos - most golf vids online are geared for high handicaps. Im currently a 3.5 and i struggle with this and not using the ground with my lower body for power (your other video). These are geared for lower handicappers and i love it. Incorporating this and the stuff Larry said in the previous videos…thank you sir!
Great video - one of my main challenges is I far over-rotate as you can see my shoulder blades when facing me because apparently I'm hyper-mobile vs a typical golfer, which puts my whole swing out of sync because my hands have to travel so far to get the club face square again.
I love this video…I have always been told I have a short backswing…so I’ve always tried to make my swing longer, but when I started doing that…I never knew what way the golf ball was going…since seeing this video I went back to the short back swing…I’m able to hit the golf ball in the right direction…Thanks for this explanation of the backswing
loving this series of content Matt - using ground forces and real depth vs fake depth are definitely things we can all work on and the visuals and explanation from you and Larry are easy to understand and identify in our own swings 🙏
Matt love your new channel!! I have always struggled with a long arm swing and for the first time I understand how to adjust. Larry is an excellent teacher no doubt but how you engage with him asking questions and discussing feels has helped me understand this concept better. Keep the great content coming, it’s helping me get through the off season.
Love this video, very guilty of this and something I'll be working on before the start of the season grateful for the insight and camera angles to show me where I've been going wrong and you said it perfectly Matt I believed I was gaining more speed when in reality I need more finesse
Brilliant video, I suffer from this same swing and I have been working on it for a few years to shorten it, it is getting better but really hard to do consistently on the golf course. 👍
Awesome video, Matt. As a fellow lefty, these mean the world as I don’t have to flip everything for it to make sense to my brain and body. This issue, overturning, is something that I’ve been wondering about myself. Now I can’t wait to get to the range to try this out. Thanks! You’re doing amazing!
Thank you Matt & Larry, being a lefty this just clicked with me. Have been struggling for years with over swinging and it has gotten worse the older I get. Been watching many other videos for a fix but none have explained the mechanics so clearly. The part about “fake” turn and hands disappearing behind the head face-on check point was brilliant, I immediately see it in my swing. Keep the great content coming, and looking forward too to your collaboration with Garreth(?) on short game fixes - pitching chipping and putting!
Great info! Matt is so good in absorbing the infos then relates and explains to us in a way that we can understand. The way he can control his swing is pretty amazing.
Great timing, gentlemen! My teaching pro has been working with me to stop this very thing. Easier to do on the lesson tee under his watchful eye than to take it to the course, where the overswing but under turn creeps back in. It’s a process…. In any case, love the content, Matt, and great to see your subscription rate doubling since last week.
So helpful. This just explained something I’ve been working on and struggling with without even knowing it was a “thing.” Matt, great job asking questions and explaining these tips. It really helps having you slow things down and almost act like a translator for us watching.
Another great video Matt. Your sincerity and genuine approach to making content is refreshing and awesome. Seeing all of these great collabs has made this my new favorite channel.
Thanks for the post. Not only a LH golfer angle but great drills and tips. I have a habit of overswing with a big wrist hinge at the top to give a past parallel club. especially with longer clubs. some things to look at while recording swing.
Absolutely brilliant timing, I’ve been over swinging for as long as I can remember ( I’m now 65) and this morning at the range I tried to stop it, by rotating my upper body more and actually pushing with my right arm keeping my left arm straighter, it was massively better, I just need to keep doing it so it feels natural.
So great, Matt. This channel is going to be invaluable for those of us with high swing speeds, but who have difficulty replicating our swings from hole to hole or round to round. I definitely have too much over swing and it’s likely caused by not rotating my lower body correctly. Something to work on this winter.
Struggled with this for years, still tend to get long when hitting woods but the arms in front of the seam is an easy swing thought to take to the range!
Great video, Matty! This answered my question about comparing the concepts discussed in the video with Ian Mellor with Larry's prior video on getting depth in the backswing. Both want to create the turn with your body but want to prevent the left elbow from getting behind you.
always impressed with matts adaptability, thats really where he stands out in the golf content world. its amazing what that opens up for him from an informational content scope
i think Larry's comment about "faking the turn with trail arm" might be the game-changer I needed. Thank you!!!
This is my BIGGEST issue by far I may watch this video 40 times. Only gets worse with the longer clubs it drives me crazy
More technical and informative then TXG. 3x better content, average player focused. Loving it 👍👍👍.

Just as I am figuring to stop my over swinging n your notification showed up 🙏
Perfect Guys! This is my main issue ! Don’t ever delete this video ! Can’t afford to get to Canada right now!
I'm impressed to see so many videos on how to improve your golf swing that don't "cure your slice in 10 swings". Just small details, one at a time, to create a more functional and fluid swing. Excellent work!
Larry is awesome. It’s obvious he understands the golf swing and does a lot of instruction because he explains this very plainly yet precisely.
The moment you realize this is exactly what you´ve been doing wrong. Great Video! Will work on this tomorrow!
There is absolutely no doubt your were the T in TXG. Tour level ball striking everyone can appreciate and admire. In fact, I actually feel like I am watching a TXG video watching this.

.
Some great swings towards the end, it’s amazing how something so simple can make such a difference.
I had a feeling we would be seeing more of Larry when Matt went on his own. Great to see and hopefully its good visibility for Larry and his business.
This is the first time I have seen this explained so well. Thank you
The channel is blowing up! Way to go Matt!!!
In this Clip I understand Larry more than in the previous ones. Thank you!
Matt I swear we are the exact same golfer except from opposite sides of the ball! All of these instructional videos have been great and super relatable to me so keep up the great work!
Wow...WOW! I just had an "aha moment!" Golden video for me, thank you!

Two of my favorite golfers on RUclips!
Love videos with you and LC. Great stuff. Could be the new dynamic duo?? ;)
This ties in really well with your session with Ian Mellor. In that video, there’s a bit about the trail elbow not getting deeper than the trail shoulder. To use Larry’s words in this video, that creates “fake depth”. Great content!
Larry and Matty great combo 👍⛳️🏌🏼♂️🍻
Good to see Larry! Yes, fake depth. That was a good video he had come out about that.
Good stuff, Matt. Thanks!
Here we go.... Matt, thank you for this great info ..... This is the new Dynamic Dou!!!! Massive... More and more please... Thank you.
The way Matt understands things and dictates that to the viewer is just perfect. Really helps reinforce the concepts they're working on! Keep it up Matty!
The fact this is interesting and has also clearly explained something through a video I want to improve that lessons have just left me with annoying fixes for that don’t work has me wildly impressed.

Content like this makes me glad Matt is doing his own thing. Love the more technical swing angle that Matt is going for in his videos.

this is the exact problem i have with my overswing. Boom! mind blown. Thanks Matt, thanks Larry!
Matt appreciate you taking us on your golf journey!
The swing is looking mint Matty boy 👌 this was a great lesson
I was literally just at the range and couldn't figure out why my swing felt so disjointed (besides coming off of winter). This video made everything crystal clear.

I regularly have to check this with the Smart Ball. Im a serial offender too!! Keep up the great content, Matty.

Thank you Matt and Larry!
Totally guilty of this problem. I love the idea of a more compact but just as powerful swing. Hopefully that will equate to more consistency.
Such a great video subject. Elbow in conjunction to shirt seem. It makes complete sense now that you both showed it very well to us. Larry's knowledge and ability to be understood is superb. Matt's ability to listen and adapt are special. Matt, you have a great talent in asking questions that clears everything up.

best informational duo in golf right now. plain english and helpful demonstrations make your points land clearly
This is my number 1 issue, thanks for addressing it.
Congratulations Matt on moving on with your new channel! I'm really enjoying your content so far, well done sir.
Best video I’ve ever seen on the backswing. Such a crucial aspect I’ve overlooked. Thanks Matt.
Larry and Matt is a great combo
Matt, I can’t understate what an exceptionally helpful and informative video this is. Such a common problem, one that I myself struggle with mightily.

Great to see you Matt, love Larry and his teaching philosophy, keep grinding gentlemen
New to the channel. I’m a PGA Professional in Canada. Excellent session guys, I learned a few things that will help my students too👍
Most helpful vid I’ve seen in a while, great work guys.
loving this series of content Matt - using ground forces and real depth vs fake depth are definitely things we can all work on and the visuals and explanation from you and Larry are easy to understand and identify in our own swings 🙏
Love the videos from Larry's, but I NEED THOSE HEAD COVERS!
Continue the great work!
This is very informative. 👍👍👍
Keep up the great work, Matt.
Matt love your new channel!! I have always struggled with a long arm swing and for the first time I understand how to adjust. Larry is an excellent teacher no doubt but how you engage with him asking questions and discussing feels has helped me understand this concept better. Keep the great content coming, it’s helping me get through the off season.
Good to see you back in action, Matt.
Matt, so glad to see back!!! Always great content! So many commonalities in our games, except that I swing it about 100 mph slower than you do! 😀
Love this video, very guilty of this and something I'll be working on before the start of the season grateful for the insight and camera angles to show me where I've been going wrong and you said it perfectly Matt I believed I was gaining more speed when in reality I need more finesse
Great video - Very guilty of this myself. Find it really challenging to control extent of backswing. Great content
this is the problem bothering me for a long time, thank you Larry and Matt!!!!!
That was a great video. Larry with an excellent explanation. Visual of the arms not passing the shirt seam is clear.
Matt i plan on watching all your videos, this channel will be more popular than TXG..trust me!!
You are a mind reader . Thanks for the video
Brilliant video, I suffer from this same swing and I have been working on it for a few years to shorten it, it is getting better but really hard to do consistently on the golf course. 👍
Really good explanation of a proper turn. I am guilty of trying to get to the top using my hands and arms, so this is really useful.
Awesome video, Matt. As a fellow lefty, these mean the world as I don’t have to flip everything for it to make sense to my brain and body. This issue, overturning, is something that I’ve been wondering about myself. Now I can’t wait to get to the range to try this out. Thanks! You’re doing amazing!
Definitely second that not many lefties on RUclips so glad matty still on RUclips such a nice guy and a absolute bomber of the ball
Such a great idea to produce videos with and for Larry! Always an awesome pleasure to watch.
Can we just talk about the pikachu and gengar headcovers. New favorite channel now.
Thank you Matt & Larry, being a lefty this just clicked with me. Have been struggling for years with over swinging and it has gotten worse the older I get.

I think I’m a golf swing hypochondriac, every video I watch I think I have that problem. Or my swing is just that bad. Thanks for the video Matty.
🤣 you’re not alone Hans
One of my main problems!!! Beautiful explanation on this, love where the The content has been going Matt!!!
Great info! Matt is so good in absorbing the infos then relates and explains to us in a way that we can understand. The way he can control his swing is pretty amazing.

Great video Matt. I’ve got to pass this on to friend who has the over swing issue.
Larry & Matty Boy!!! Too Awesome!!!
Amazing video gents. I knew it was only a matter of time before you guys combined your talents!!!
This makes me happy. Please keep this channel and content going!
So helpful. This just explained something I’ve been working on and struggling with without even knowing it was a “thing.” Matt, great job asking questions and explaining these tips. It really helps having you slow things down and almost act like a translator for us watching.
I love the tips as body indicators so I can adapt them to my swing
Been watching Larry since he was under 3k subscribers. Love all this content!
Another great video Matt. Your sincerity and genuine approach to making content is refreshing and awesome. Seeing all of these great collabs has made this my new favorite channel.
Thanks!!
Thanks for the post. Not only a LH golfer angle but great drills and tips. I have a habit of overswing with a big wrist hinge at the top to give a past parallel club. especially with longer clubs. some things to look at while recording swing.
drift is my issue and creates the slight over the top on driver to long iron
going to work on this thanks!!
Matt, you are doing an awesome job. Really enjoying your channel. Can't say how impressed and pleased I am how well you are doing.
Absolutely brilliant timing, I’ve been over swinging for as long as I can remember ( I’m now 65) and this morning at the range I tried to stop it, by rotating my upper body more and actually pushing with my right arm keeping my left arm straighter, it was massively better, I just need to keep doing it so it feels natural.
This is a great feel!
Awesome video! Been working on this for years. Larry did a great job explaining the cause and effect. Great video Matt!
Great video! This is something more people struggle with than they know, myself included!
So great, Matt. This channel is going to be invaluable for those of us with high swing speeds, but who have difficulty replicating our swings from hole to hole or round to round.

Great video. Love the seam of the shirt idea. Super helpful. Looking forward to more videos, gents.
Glad to see your back Matt, new sub. I left TXG also smh, at least one didn't sell out. Good luck Matt continue the great content.
