LESSON 1: • Pain Free Golf Swing -...
LESSON 2: • Understanding CORRECT ...
I had my third lesson and last lesson for a while since I had to come back to Thailand. Eric shows me how to rotate in the golf swing into my hip. I also explain how my swing got so messed up by listening and reading and taking in nonsense form books, videos and people who don't know a thing about the swing.

Hi Matt - The best advice I could give you is to check out Shawn Clement. As you said in this video, forget about the Golf Digest "Positions". Watch a few of his videos and you will realise he teaches you about what your anatomy can do and how it applies to the golf swing. Has changed my mindset and my game completely. I see you making some of the same mistakes as I did. Hope this helps.
Great video, enjoyed all three sessions
I decided to take online lesson with Eric because he explains what George gankas do with his on line programm but much more simple and personnalized
My not even 2 yr old son won’t sit still to watch children’s tv, but he loves your videos, sits and watches in silence and fascination
He is a natural born playa
my 5 month old son too xD
2??? Wow that's awesome...get that boy in golf lessons now
20 years ago was all about how much you could turn your shoulders while limiting your hip turn to get the X Factor. Then everyone got injured.
Yep. Dumbest piece of golf 'advice' ever.
And new swing incoming, Bryson swing!
But then I started reading golf digest, and that’s when the problems come in - no truer words brother
That address / impact drill may be the most important thing in any of your videos. Every single good golfer has the same look at impact. Everything else you do is just working out how your body can get into that position. We're all physically different and the journey to impact is going to look different, but the body position at the moment of impact always looks the same. Thanks for bringing us on your journey to fix your swing; keep it up playa.
You may not be a world-class golfer, but (as a hitting instructor, myself) you are a very good student. Your instructor should be proud. 👍
Matt is a world class act helping us all get better at something that brings us joy.
Baus, you have been so helpful for my game. These couple of vids have refocused my mind on what I have been doing wrong, or rather what I have conceptualised incorrectly. I got a lesson with a really good coach and he got me obsessed with “firing” my left hip/side through and back to pull and rotate everything through - “clear the hips”. I’ve spent 4 months trying to clear my hips in the swing and it either hurt or resulted in a terrible shot or both! This and the vid on the impact bag has changed my (golf) life!
A lot of our swings are like a kaleidoscope - fragmented bits of pieces of advice, articles and self correction. Nothing wrong with most of the tips, but these apply to the average person. The pro is looking at your individual flaw. Way to go Eric. So cool, that he gave you these light bulb moments Matt!
Signed a very below average golfer, who related to a lot of what this demonstrated.
This video is probably one of your best yet. There are many swing instruction videos out there but rarely is there one from a regular joe talking about the trials and tribulations of his golf swing. Its absolutely fascinating and as someone who has gone youtubing and tinkering mixed with a couple of formal lessons its an experience I can relate to. Thank you for laying it out there. Still one of the best golf channels on youtube.
I only watch these 3 training videos over and over as I understand more and more each time I watch it. And now I am painfree and hit the ball straight, too. Plus, tips about how to maintain shape between playing sessions. Great stuff! You and Eric are pure gold.
Same for me still in pain but striping it, needs improvement.
Couldn't be a smarter video. Love this. This is what all of us need. Information for us, by us. Not tour pros who are Olympic caliber athletes.
I've only been playing golf for 2 years. Found this channel about a month ago. I had my first lesson and it was amazing. If you are on the fence, my 1hr lesson cost $60 and its changed my game forever.
Eric comes across as a very good coach. I was surprised to find you did not understand what impact looks like. Golf mags and videos have shown impact stills for decades. I'm sure you'll continue to make progress and I bond with your enthusiasm.
Wow. This is almost exactly what happened to me in regards to messing up my swing. I sway I spin out, but now I’m with a coach that is teaching me almost exactly the same things you are being taught. Good luck!
@8:00 this is exactly what i’ve come to realize these last two weeks; misconception of how the swing should look like. We somehow got it equally wrong… and that’s how I end up watching this video-series of yours. Funny world.
Your explanation of "fundemental misunderstanding" from the Golf Digest articles literally summarized my entire understanding of the back swing. Modern day instruction says to have the club outside the foot line and the clubface slightly pointed downward. I couldn't figure out what changed so much from 20yrs ago to change the initial take back so much. Thanks for all your videos, best content on YT!!!
The absolute honest truth to learning golf. I taught myself and can hit and target but consistency was not there. Had my third lesson and that was already on driver and the clean up was very small to hit better. GO GET LESSONS!!!!
I just watched all 3. My conception was off as well. I will be watching them again. Thanks from louisiana
I like how as soon as someone related a concept to your balsak it all became so much clearer :D
I have spent the last 5 months practicing my swing without a club as I stand around in line at grocery, which looks silly, or outside waiting around. Before your videos I was focusing on keeping head still and hip rotation. But after your last video I started to incorporate the impact position. It's amazing how much focusing on the first two has improved my actual swing with a club can't wait to see how it's affected with the introduction of the impact position. I seriously do a lot of shadow swings without a club because I'm always waiting around for something or another and don't have a club with me. I think practicing/ focusing on these 3 concepts as much as you can with our without a club is really helpful. Don't need a club for any of this except maybe impact position but again standing around waiting don't usually have a club so do it anyway.
It's time for me to thank Da Playa In Chief ! I'm a self taught wanna be scratch baus . I'm a little over a year back playing the game after not playing for 10 years or more . Shit show was a kind way of describing my swing and golf game . But my inner drive to be the baus I want to be has lead me on my mystical journey thru many ails at the Walmart and halfway across the parking lot when one of many light bulb moment happened to me . And that bright light said RUclips . I spent months and months watching golf videos and that lead me to being more terrible ! that is till I narrow down the channels that actually taught me to swing like a a baus . Ill keep it short golf sidekick and Malaska golf are the only ones that taught me there's more to it than just swing mechanics . The human body works in straight line forces (malaska) And( witmfb) and episodes like why you suck at golf (golf sidekick ) and countless other episodes have taught me a shit ton . Thanks for all your help and many a laughs along the way . I love your channel keep up the great work .
12:57 this is SO great! Thanks Matt! I struggle with a low ball flight-hands too far forward with aggressive shaft lean- hitting piss missiles that roll forever but I can’t hold a green! This is going to help my launch angle! Thank you!!
The swing at 2:32 looked so much better than many of your videos I've seen. I practiced for the first time in two summers today and I'm really learning tonight watching this video.
The best series of lessons I have ever seen and I watch a lot of RUclips lessons. I have been fighting swaying and pull hooking every shot. In just one day at the range after watching you, my swing is finally improving. Thank you so much!
My pleasure good sir
I do not want to give you a swelled head but what a great series of videos between you and Eric.Actually not just those but of your whole channel. Your candour and out loud thinking as well as your enthusiasm are great and I am sure reflect the thoughts and frustrations of tens of thousands average of everyday golfers. Your thrid video with Eric and your comments after on your rooftop or balcony are particularly on point. I have been trying to direct my pathetic game in the direction you are going . Because of my age I may never get there but the journey will be far more enjoyable. Equally enjoyable and instructive are your videos with Gen and Michelle. I have learned more by just watching their swings and comments than with dozens of tv instriuctors although there are a few good ones out there. A video analysis with Eric is tempting but then there is the equipment issue and the fact that my ceiling is already replete with hole from overswung clubs. It is winter here in Canada. Great therapy to watch the scenery in Malaysia and Thailand specially in Covid tmes.
Best,
Thanks for all the videos! I find them very easy to understand.
Hey man! Been following you for a long time. After 12 years of golfing in the 80’s and hitting a very terrible place of shanking almost everything, I decided to finally get lessons. Lesson 1 revealed that my grip, turn, weight transfer, sequencing was all very bad. He did say that my wrist hinge was good though 😂 anyway, I’ve coupled his lessons to get the right foundation with the teaching of ZEN golf, and it has been life changing. (Built my own balance board too lol) Hit the range today and hit the farthest 5i of my life, 212 yards. That’s massive for me, I usually expect about 185 yds. So 12 years after I started this journey and 2 weeks of restarting (2 lessons and at least 10 range sessions) this 30 year old shares your sentiment in many ways. Stop listening to your buddies. Get a lesson, learn how to use your body and sequence properly. It will change your game forever.
Exellent. You have that rare gift that you are both a good presenter and also clearly thinks deeply about the game. Cheers
Absolutely love this video. So many gold nuggets you have in this short video. I too have found a coach that understands me, knows what works best for me and understands how I learn best. And trust me I’ve seen ALOT of coaches in person and online in the search to “become a better golfer”. Listening only to your coach and only your coach and do not tell your friends. Priceless advice. Hope you are well. Thanks again.
Thanks playa. You get it.
So spot on. I literally working on the same exact thing right now. Thank you for all the great content.
You got this!
Love what you say about us perverting our conceptual understanding of golf. So amazing of how we take what we are told or shown and can make it a swing that really is nothing like what we were actually shown or told. I had lessons many years and since getting back into golf and going back again. The part you talked about only listening to your coach is the biggest part people need to take away from this video. We need to quit searching out so many answers from wherever and go to someone who will invest time in helping you develop your swing. Love all your videos but really love this one. Thanks again.
I am amazed at how similar our swing problems are -sliding, turning hands open on back swing , early release-
Went to my local pro - bingo! He has prescribed much of the same medicine-hip rotation was an unbelievable revelation- In over 30 years playing (12 hcp), I never consciously moved like that. wow. Just hope old dogs actually can learn new tricks! This series of clips are your best!
Love the impact drill. I stopped doing it because it was loud, woke up the kids, but yours is much simpler.
I've already been doing the chip, pitch and punch drills, however the key is definitely getting that hip to turn.
We need an update please on your current routine!!! You are smacking that ball lately!
Great job, best video so far. Loved your explanation and willingness to except that your swing ideas was wrong and that opened you up to learn and see the light. Your willingness to learn will take you far.
Hey, man. I want to commend you on your content. I used to play when I was in the military in the early 2000’s and then picked it up again here recently (last 6-8 months) and I have always been adverse to range rats that offer tips but look like they’re on a trampoline when swinging. Your videos are helpful, insightful, and the mental approach has done wonders for me. Thank you for sharing your experiences and open minded advice, brotha. “Positivity and occasionally knocking out a walking ego are the keys to happiness.” My 25 cent wisdom to pay you back.
Thanks for producing fun and quality videos. Also congratulations on your new swing, it is much more handsome and I am sure you will enjoy your game in more consistency way. I will meet Eric soon.
Was not even aware i had those muscles ;) (glute, Psoas, external obliques) and had no idea how to use them in the swing. Thx for that mate, changes a lot :)
What's really helped me a lot is learning the stack & tilt fundamentals. I'm not advocating S&T but much of what your coach is teaching are rooted in them. Learn from guys like Nick Taylor golf. He's in Singapore but has a RUclips channel. Best of luck.
Just discovered your channel. As a beginner, it is helping me a lot. Great content between course video and lessons 👍 keep it on
Mat i just want to tell you that by watching your videos i have a better understanding of how the golf swing works how to think about playing a golf course and i have improved my game alot thanks to your videos please keep making them and thank you all the from a fan in south africa bronkhorstspruit town
Matt I've loved your lessons with Eric and Michelle. Eric's teachings are so similar to AJ Bonar. AJ's Top over the bottom term is simply meeting Eric impact conditions with the hands. Really great vlogs Matt....pure gold and really well explained. It does make a huge impact hitting the ball correctly. Also Michelle's video on putting technique has helped me immensely. Best of luck..Steve from Victoria, Australia
Wow these three lessons have helped me improve practicing at the range even. Jedi level Golf Instructor Playa.
This was the hip movement that was taught early to mid last century. Works great and no back injury. Even old men like me can get 90 degree shoulder turn because hips are doing half that turn. Well, you can see it as turn or pulling trail hip away from target line. Noticed a big difference in your game since these lessons.
Matt - Love your stuff. This video describes exactly my golfing path in life. Last year I located a great instructor who teaches Stack & Tilt, and you sir, now swing Stack & Tilt... for the most part. Good bye sore back and hello compressed ball meeting club face sweet spot. Crispy KFC! And congrats to doing Yoga, I now practice 5x/week and the heavens opened up for me, so please never stop with your practice! Best, Mark
@Golf Sidekick one of my biggest problems in my swing was lifting of my head and overswinging in the backswing. I corrected this by making sure (besides correct hip turn) by tilting and keeping my left shoulder down towards the ball. My teacher has mentioned that the more the lower body is in control of the swing motion, the more these types of problems naturally resolve themselves.
After these video with Eric i have contacted him and begin to take online lesson. He is as good as i have seen on your video so big thank's Mister Playa :-)
Chief I've watched most of your videos, grabbing the life lessons to make the mental game FUN. Now you've addressed the mental CONCEPTS that mess up technique. Two words... Thank you!
Really loved your explaination of the evolution of your swing. That could be me :)
Great series of vids loved them all. I'm 49 and been having lower back pain for the last 12 months and I'm positive its because I tried to lock my lower body in position on the backswing. You are 100% right there are 1000s of people out there trying to give you advice the majority I think are genuinely trying to help you get better BUT if you are having success with a teaching pro you must block everything out that these people are telling you otherwise your head will be in bits and your wallet considerably lighter with nothing to show for it.
Been binging your YT vids Matt and really enjoy the lady pro series and the ones with Bo who is a beast! This one here is my favorite because you contrasted what you taught yourself with what you learned from Eric! I also learned from books and watching pros and thought I had it right. My swing is decent but I never found consistency or control from having the correct fundamentals. Thanks for breaking it down like you did starting at 6:10 I will be visiting Eric when I get to Thailand this Spring!
Hey Matt, well done with this video. I fully agree with all you say from 5 mins on. I have done exactly what you have done.
Best golf I played was years ago after program of lessons by a teacher in Pretoria. I did what he told me and went from 13 to 6 in a year or so Last 20 years I have not got better and recently getting worse .... too much goat etc etc.
I have reached out to Eric and hoping to start a rebuild process
Cheers Dave
watching this video was like talking to the future myself in a mirror. I have all the same issues - "scooping" the ball at impact, swaying "for power" and perhaps blocked backswing. thanks for sharing this!
this is awesome, been playiing for 50 yrs and last 20 been really struggling with swing. this solved alot of my issues that golf digest and others put in my head, i have no idea why l changed my thought process 20 years ago. maybe trying to keep up with the kids. going to work on these little lessons you just gave, especially address impact, get back to muscle memory and enjoy the game again. thanks playa.
Matt another way to conceptualize that hip movement is that the lead knee should point aft of the ball in the backswing.
seems like you're getting some stack and tilt concepts in the swing, I've been doing the things you're working on, and it's working well for me
Exactly this. Basically S & T, and that's a very good thing.
yes! I've been waiting for the third installment of this series!!
I am currently taking lessons and everything that you are learning is the same for me - fix the grip, fix the feet positions, fix the hip rotations, this week's lesson was fixing impact. So much to unlearn but its awesome to see the improvements at the range. Keep it up.
Perfect lessons as my faults were completely identified in Eric’s 3 lessons. Thanks Playa in Chief!
I’ve been on the exact same journey in almost identical circumstances; years of a desk job promoting lack of flexibility and Whilst I understood swing theory I had no idea how far off the mark I was in actual movement until I saw a coach who’s taken me through very similar training steps to you. I’ve come to accept; These are fundamental changes that will see you regress before you get better but in the long run it works. It takes months just to start to get it right but even then more lessons to bed it down. There is no such thing as set and forget. Whilst Lessons felt frustrating I had to accept it was the challenge I needed and the results proved it now I’ve broken 80 twice now which I had never ever done before.
Great Video playa. I've had so many misconceptions of the golf swing just like you. Been working hard to swing more properly. Your teachers method is very similar to George Gankas. Some of the best drills that have helped me understand the golf swing is to hold on alignment rod on the shaft of the club and put an alignment rod on you ball line, Swing the club back make sure that the alignment rod is pointed at ball line or inside it and as you swing through don't let the alignment rod hit you on your lead side(half swings). Quickly learned that my shoulder plane was too flat. this drill really teaches you alot about the feeling of proper rotation. Hit half shots(left arm parallel on the backswing and right arm parallel on the through swing) with that feeling and feel like your doing nothing with your hands and arms, just focus on squatting and rotating properly and in sequence, amazing how good you hit these little halfers, and you see how using ground pressure and rotating is really what drives the swing. George Gankas has some really good videos in more detail aout these, cool and helpful stuff) Always enjoy your content. All the best.
Used the right foot turned out today to straighten the cake leg to get rotation. And it straightened out my drive and I hit it farther without swinging hard to hip rotation adds more power than swinging hard. And it's more controllable. I really needed this for my puzzle
Playa awesome video, I had my second lesson this week and my instructor is showing me the exact same things you are demonstrating in your video. I have been down your same path and understand completely what you are sharing. Thanks Playa, keep the videos coming.
Brilliant video!!! Soo much of this applies to me, incl being fucked up by videos and poor coaching. Really love this with the pro series 👍
Everything you were taught is public knowledge, its out their for everyone, all depends on what lenses your looking through, I misunderstood lots ass well but I think the key was, keep searching and that Eric took time to see you first. Great talent and mind to find a way to make you understand your swing.
These are the exact things I've been trying to work on lately but I also have never really understood some of these concepts except what I've had in my head. I knew what I was supposed to be doing but its just never come together like I know its supposed to but I really think you just helped clarify exactly what I needed to know. Thanks!
Preach it Brother!! Love the "nut sack" description almost fell off my chair in laughter. LOL.
Gentlemen Only Ladies Forbidden. 😉
One thing I've been trying to work on is clearing my hips. Supposed to have a lesson tomorrow with my coach. Really excited for it. Played 18 2 days ago & shot around 90. Birdied 2 holes on back 9, parred 8 & bogey, double the rest. Played alot better than I have been. Wish u well Matt with your new swing. Waddaplaya👍
Firstly, thanks for Posting this vid, highlighting the importance of a full hip turn, sadly correct hip movement is the forgotten piece of the Golf swing Jigsaw puzzle.
Secondly, thanks for showing off your balcony, that is one heck of a view up there!
This is immensely helpful for anyone trying to figure out their swing.... thanks
Matt I think you should definitely have a look at Padraig Harrington's videos, particularly the one on grip and setup. Tells it as it is, and is giving great advice which will give you reality and encouragement with the changes you are making and the reasons technique will improve your game. I am firm believer that we can get good at bad habits but correct technique the only way to consistency. Keep up the great work Playa!
Just happen to stumble on your video. Fantastic explanation and your teacher Eric is a spot on! Very impressive by the both of you!
The misconception thing is HUGE. Another big component of the turn from my first lessons recently was weight distribution in the feet. Not enough info out there about exactly what parts of your feet you should be feeling pressure during these turns and when you "push" off in the downswing. Great video!
Great stuff Matt. Really enjoyed this lesson series. It is a testament to your natural ability, how well you played without all these lessons. Looking forward to seeing you play off scratch!
I've recently started watching your golf course videos and really enjoy them. Great format and style. Watching this video is interesting because I've recently has
d the same awakening. It's made me work on leg strength and flexibility massively. The results have been really impressive, the only problem is all the lockdowns are getting in the way
Hi mate, I had the same misconceptions as you and I am at the same stage as you right now. I still have to practice why to stretch my right leg when I rotate my hip is very difficult for me since that misconception of not stretching it is embedded in my brain and I cannot remove it. But when I hit a ball with the correct mechanics, I easily gain about 20 more yards and effortlessly. It blows your mind.
I really appreciate your videos. It makes golf fun for me to just play within myself . The straight leg in the backswing kind of looks like stack and stilt to me. Thanks for posting.
Man, I just LOVE your videos!. Please keep up the great work! Thanks so much :)
Loving the journey. Keep on sharing...
Crikey all my faults are the same as you!! Fanning the clubface open and getting ahead of the ball and flipping. Enjoying how you have got Bdog's handicap down.
Probably a big club, we joined. Been trying to compact and shorten my swing forever. Works when I do it
골프에서도 그렇지만 모든 스포츠에서 발란스는 정말 중요한것 같습니다~
잘배우겠습니다~
Great!!!!! Thanks~~
OMG playa, where have you been all my life??? That stuff in the middle about the duck feet and the heel, I'm literally in the process of trying to burn this into my muscle memory right now! I'm getting lessons now that address this, but they're only half-hour lessons and fly by really fast. You're explaining it all very articulately, and I feel like I'm looking into my own subconscious with this video (sorry to get deep there, it's the way of the playa). Love your vids man, keep 'em going! (Also, hurry up with the other bucket hat styles, I really like the ones that aren't available yet)
thnx for sharing, it's gonna help the rest of us.
No problem playa
Wow I had many many mis-understanding just like you did! Thnks for sharing Sir .
Thanks for watching Paul.
Two thumps up 👍👍 Very good explanation of all the misunderstanding, wrong concepts and very good self-analysis! But besides that... look how talented you are and even with all the technical flaws in your swing u got down to hcp 4! Shows how good your gameplay and coursemanagement is, besides the great Shortgame. I guess now there’s a straight path down to scratch. 💪 B.t.w. we now got the new hcp system in EUROPE... yeah got down from 8,6 to 5,7 this year ... I guess I have to send my thx to you and your famous strategy vids!
Pretty similar to stack and tilt but simplified. I've just started playing and I'm working my swing to use this kind of style. Played my first 18 holes and shot 109, counting all penalty shots etc. Used a red ball which saved plenty of strokes from lost balls. Golf is fun.
loving your newer series of videos! hope you find time to play more golf
Hey Baus, I literally had my 3rd lesson explaining the exact hip movement on Monday. Was my light bulb moment for sure. Those drills at the end are fantastic and are going take me a long way with solidifying those movement. Cheers playa, absolute legendary content
I can relate to literally every point you talk about here, 100%. To be fair, there are a lot of good coaches that show this hip turn on YT (Crossfield for example) although I´ve never got the impact position right. Something to work on over the winter.
oh, and nice balcony bruh!
I have always loved the headiness of this channel. Keep it up playa and best of luck in Thailand and setting up your life there.
Love this video, telling it like a baus!! One of the best golf videos I’ve seen
These are great videos learned so much. I have had a tendency to take too much advice from too many people.
I am working on the same hip rotation. If you have never felt it. It is hard to feel, but practicing with that space between your legs really works. You will also hit the ball further, I have increased 20yards
SAVE TO: Baus Videos. This is a VERY good lesson by you Baus, I know it comes Erics lessons but you're communicating these premises well. You're on you way back
Love your videos since day one, I grew up in Singapore as a kid with my dad playing golf all over, funny my instructor in Texas gave me very similar drills and concept for swing. I’ll be sure to pick up one of your fine shirts so I can look like a Baus during some future rounds, keep it salty playas and enjoy the game!
This is the exact thing I am working on! And yea, it feels so weird and makes my right hip muscles very sore/// but it sure helps make the transition much easier and there is a lot more power and consistency.
My coach kept pulling the belt loop on my left hip forward and said that was what I needed to do but I couldn't conceptualize it till watching you do it
You have a good coach there Matt.
Gankas coaches Matt Wolff and if you watch Wolffs pre shot routine it's a drill of the impact position you're working on. Keep it up.
Love your life style brother
I live Michigan USA
I'm a big believer in this. It's possibly the ONLY thing that matters. You get deep like that and only good things happen.
Playa in Chief. I am loving your videos and the rebuilding of your swing in particular. I am going through exactly the same swing mindset evolutions at the moment down in Australia. Your videos are very much on point and very helpful. Esp this latest one. My issue at the moment is the longer I look at the ball at impact (necessary to get the sweet connection) the more I am pulling it (always more so in the back nine). I am tucking the right shoulder, so I am not sure what is causing it. Maybe in part the soft grip, like you say in here. Anyway, im on the journey with you! Peace.
