    Swing the butt backwards. I’ve never heard that before, but now I will deffinately think of it that way to help my body rotate.
    Something I’ve not learned yet. Thanks Matt 👍

    I’m in year 4 of a 9 hole golf league on a course that has 27 holes. I’m as good as ever, with a consistent 18 handicap… because that’s they highest they allow. It’s more like 24! I was down to 16 for a bit, but it didn’t feel any better inside 🤣. I spent most of this season with no driver even in my bag, until I played an outing last weekend and someone suggested I try theirs and I crushed it. Back to having a driver! I hope to go blast some buckets of balls soon to practice what you’re laying down. Good stuff!

    In this video several of the problem issues like hands ahead at set up were things I was doing with inconsistent results. I took your advice from this video and went to the range to try them out like setting up with the hands back versus forward. I was hitting all of my clubs better and with a slight draw which was always hard for me to produce. I watch all your tips on Roku so I can't hit the like button or comment unless I go on the computer. Great job love the channel

    I did your 5-stroke challenge and because if that, I have been shooting not in the 90s, but in the low 80s and high 70s. I use an old set of Titleist DCI Gold irons with a Titleist D17d3 driver and Titleist 980 F 3 wiid Married to a Titleist "Scotty Cameron" mallet-style putter. I play better with blade-style irons like the Walter Hagens I have but at a $1000 or more, I can't afford them. Now, because of your challenge, my brother and the rest of the guys I play with hate golfday, lol. LOVE IT! KEEP UP WHAT YOU'RE DOING!!!

    Super Great tip!
    I Think we all or at least most of us have had or still have some issues when lining up and ready to go🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️
    Especially the tip with where the hands should be when driving out.
    That makes really god sense and I must admit that up until now have been one of those people who would have my hands to much aligned with my left leg when using a driver.
    And sometimes I couldn’t figure out why it when a little right anyways even though
    it seems that i did it all in the right manner.
    So thanks a bunch 🙏🏻👍🏻🤗

    Matt, I have been using a lot of your techniques in my game and have definitely lowered my scores. Long irons, sand play, and chipping from long rough. Your suggestions worked wonders. THANK YOU. this video interested me because recently I’ve been topping my drives. Not all but 5 out of 14 today. Even with the topped drives I was still able to post an 85. A great score for me. If I could eliminate those topped drives I feel I can shave even more strokes...help!

  • @tonymarino4521

    So pour your instruction!! I dig the way you teach!! You know the Amateur mind how we think!! And of course the time we have to play and practice. So you are a speed teacher!! I have drop 4 strokes in just 4 weeks of tuning into to your videos!! Still a work in progress. But going from 92 to 88 as low as 85 Boom Boom!! Keep making me a better golfer!!

  • @frankcanzanella6753
    @frankcanzanella6753 3 года назад

    I feel what turns the hips are the knees. My right knee needs to be two inches in towards the target. It’s my swing trigger. Watching you it’s obvious that the right knee bends slightly back in the backswing. I had the first golf lesson in my life Thursday. Never to late to teach an old dog new tricks. I took your advice and didn’t look to play a round of golf right after the lesson. At the range at LaTourette G.C. , while concentrating on the new insight I learned at Dollar Bill Divot Club in Staten Island, NYC , I miss hit about 40 golf shots. I then in desperation moved my right knee in towards the target. Then I learned to turn my hips with my knees. All power in sports is generated by the lower body. Better sense of balance. I’m seventy but felt memories of being in my forties. I received a refund notification from Athalonz of $33.99 . I had signed up for notifications from Athalonz but when responding to their email I forgot to use your discount code. I need to stretch the right toe box a little. The leather is soft and will stretch in time. It’s a new company and I need to see if they have 2E or 3E width like my marathon sneakers with New Balance.

  • @danvandermeulen9337
    @danvandermeulen9337 3 года назад

    Love the swing thought of "swinging" your butt backwards. I watch a lot of golf videos, and there are a lot of good instructors here, but this was the best thought I have seen about clearing the hips. I tried it on the range and my drives were going dead straight, then again on the course and was working more time than not. If I get that unwanted fade, I can pretty much tell right away that I didn't swing it back. Can[t wait until it is just part of my motion and I don't need to think about it. Thanks!

  • @hunterbiles9974
    @hunterbiles9974 5 лет назад

    i've had a pretty bad slice on my drives for a long time now and have played around with a lot of "fixes". as simple as it is, putting your hands in the middle rather than out front seems to make sense to me and i can see how it closes the club face. i'm excited to try that out friday when i play next. i really enjoy your videos and i like how you break things down so its easy to understand!!

  • @GolfTesla
    @GolfTesla 4 года назад

  • @mikewhite255
    @mikewhite255 5 лет назад +1

    Oddly having my hands more towards my lead leg has corrected a major slicing issue i had, guess we are all different . My hands are forward but just barely off center like inside lead leg and this simple change has made a world of difference for me.

  • @Grotz1411
    @Grotz1411 4 года назад

    Great simple thought....instead of all the rotating thoughts just swing your butt around and stay down in the shot. That is a much easier thought process. Great idea...I love your chipping videos also.

    Good review. My 3rd mistake is over the top. Anyone who plays combat sports tends to rely on upper body to overpower the golf ball. Resist the urge to hit and think about sequence, practice driver swing with pauses from the top.

    Love tip #2. Thank you 🙏🏻

  • @wallstreetoneil
    @wallstreetoneil 5 лет назад +1

    Here is by far my #1 - and it isn't even close in terms of how important it is - and that is, Pick a Shot Shape before you do ANYTHING. If you force yourself to pick a shot shape 1st, then everything that follows as you approach the teed up ball (body alignment, club face alignment, swing path thoughts, impact thoughts to get desired spin axis tilt, body feelings to deliver the club at impact to control desired face to path, seeing the ball leave the tee with the side spin that you desire) - all of it will be secondary instead of PRIMARY if you don't make Shot Shape your main thought. It is so easy to hit a reasonable quality shot with the driver and NOT end up in a good spot if you don't do EVERYTHING to maximize your chances of success - and that starts with Shot Shape and everything that follows from that. I've recently gone through this with a few guys on the range helping them and the results are almost startling. When your entire focus of being is on delivering the desired curvature you have chosen - you will make it happen a huge % of the time - and that will result in a massive increase in your chances of hitting fairways - and in golf, hitting the fairway with your Driver is the single biggest factor to lowering your scores. Pick Shot Shape 1st - then focus 100% of your energy on building your stance, targets, alignments, swing ideas to make it happen.

  • @ryanlaing7935
    @ryanlaing7935 3 года назад

    Now I have to hit the range!
    For my driver, I tend to setup with a big forward shaft lean. I would always slice, so used a stronger grip to compensate. I'm going to try to pull this back into the middle and see how I hit.
    As for my back pulling up, I don't see it so much on my drives, however I used to top a lot of my irons. For some reason this season (which just started), I hit great on the range, but as soon as I jump on the course I get nervous and top the ball. I started swinging with very little turn of my hips for fear of lifting off the ball, causing me to have to up a club in certain instances. Weird how it's only happening on my mid irons/wedges though. My long irons I hit just fine. Thing is, it's like a 40 yd difference on my PW wedge. Perhaps thinking to turn 'with my butt' will keep my body down.
    Hoping to hit a little bucket this weekend to warmup and try this before we play this Saturday with some buddies!

  • @sprtn116

  • @CorekBleedingHollow
    @CorekBleedingHollow 5 лет назад +1

    Hm. After thinking about it I might be doing number 2 a little bit. I am DEFINITELY doing number 3. I looked at my driver swing down the line and I was early extending and breaking out of my spine angle like crazy. The driver I had was a M4 off the rack and not fitted but it was a major upgrade compared to the previous driver I had which was from the 90s. I am looking forward to get a full bag fitting and fixing my swing faults.

    After watching many of your great videos, I have learned with the spray powder that I consistently hit the ball on the toe. Since I learned about this I am aligning the club face with the heal (shaft) end of the club. Well, my drives have been awesome (flying straight and getting about 250 yards). Should I just continue with this or continue to work on my swing. I am 71 5'7" and no plans to be a pro. Again, thank you for all your wonderful videos.

    I don't expect a response with over 88K subscribers but thanks for the set up tips. I have gained some age and lost some yardage. As you get older you tend to look for more distance and start casting the club. Just got off the SIM an hour ago. Very Helpful. I have a few more things I did but that was key. I was set up with a tad of a forward press and I pulled my hands back a tad. Draw every shot. Gotta love RUclips. Do I subscribe? Hmmmmmmmmm. Is it bye bye to James Robinson??

    Hey Matt, I’m a fan.. in relation to correct alignment you demonstrated putting the club up to your shoulders and seeing where they were aligned.. if you use your shoulders to line up, you’ll always hit right of the target because the ball is in front of you and has a different alignment.. Manuel de la torre spoke of this. It’s an issue I used to have because I always did exactly what you showed in this video.

    Love your content!!!!! The one thing that really worked for me was swinging the butt around. I am going to call it the butt move, when I tried this my club head speed increased and weight transfer went from my back foot to front automatically. I know you use a lot of Volvik equipment, is there any chance you could do a review on the Volvik V1 Rangefinder. I have got one and it works great but the instructions are terrible. Keep up the good work 👏👏 all the best from one of your British fans.
