This seems like waaay too many things to think about. I recognize that lower body needs to initiate downswing but there has to be a less confusing way to do it. Squat down, unhinge wrists, push off/up, turn hips…holy moly. I could see Matt in the video after LC’s explanation get to the top of his swing and then think, what am I supposed to do next again?? Keep the content coming. It is great, but for me, I would need to learn these moves in a different fashion.
Oh Matt you’re here with the content we all need. Love your style and the way you talk to folks be they instructors or pros. This channel is only going to get bigger. Can’t wait to see what comes.
This exactly what I've been working on. For 30+ years I've been pulling with my arms and now with the ground force data we know you need to use your legs and core to generate an efficient golf swing. It's very similar to Dr Kwon's teachings. He's more about the flow to get your body to work properly.
Oh thank god. Love that you have your own channel now. You randomly popped up on my recommendations. Excited to see what you have planned. Should come out to Kananaskis and Banff this year. Some of the best courses you will ever see and no one on RUclips shows them. Keep grinding
I know instructors think these are beneficial videos, but I absolutely check out when the video is them giving a lesson to someone. I learn a lot better when the lesson is directed at me.
First and foremost let me say how cool it is to get content from my favourite left handed golfer. This specific video was also really informative for me because I have always (for 37 years) created all my speed through the ball with my hands and arms. Got something to work on now and even at nearly 60 years of age, this game keeps me enthralled and interested and I am always trying to improve. If there is any way I could still play off scratch at age 70, that is the goal and videos and techniques like this might make it possible.
This really clears up a few issues I was having trying to squat and rotate. I was still pulling my arms down when trying to unhinge the wrist angles in downswing. Pulling as away from chest and chunking it. Think I’m starting to understand the necessity to do the drills very deliberate. With Larry explaining the purpose of feel versus real. Plus Matt your ability to put instruction into practise and demonstrate Larry’s instruction so well. It’s all making sense Absolutely love this content. Cheers Matt and Larry
Technology trained golfers is coming back to a $$$ sport. I see it in Korea. I do appreciate these vids as I now have the time to spend on playing golf and the science behind it.
Fantastic! Firstly, a thousand videos out there showing this, but not explaining it. You and Larry are great together. Secondly, I like the way you listen and ask the questions we all have about why and what the feelings should be. So helpful.
I seriously can't express how much I love these videos. Shocked how candid and useful this information is. I'm a scratch and I really see applicable uses for my game and excited to apply. I feel like I owe you guys some cash 🤔
It's crazy how you are working on the exact same things that I am over the past couple of Larry vids. This is helping to reinforce all of the stuff I am working on as well.
Incredible. I've tried to work on torso rotation instead of "arm-iness" for a while, but it never seemed to click. This video clearly and precisely illustrates not only the exact method, but also the rationale for why to do certain moves. I can't wait for more content!
This is exactly the trouble I had today at the range while trying to use the ground more. Putting this video on with me at the range tomorrow. Great content again, Matt!
Great stuff Matt. What works for me is to feel like my hands are falling from the top of the backswing, and as my lower body moves into the squat I’m fighting to keep my back to the target.
This is gold for swing speed and control. I had this feeling today while I was swinging my club and searched it on youtube to make sure I wasn't going nuts. Because the swing just felt effortless and SOO fast (with control too)! Feel like I discovered some secret knowledge lol
Flawless explanations. Don't seek perfection right away - just progress in the right direction and push along that path until you bake that concept in. Another good one here MB w/ LC.
I was so sad when you left TXG and was not aware that you had your own youtube channel now. As a fellow lefty, I loved seeing someone swing from the same side of the ball while explaining concepts. So glad I found it
I break my range practice into segments of the swing (what I call 4 phases), and Matty has literally been giving me drills to help with every phase in his videos. Loving this channel, quickly becoming my favorite
the timing of this couldn't be more perfect, exactly what I've been working on with my coach!! These years of sitting at a desk have taken its toll on the hip flexors ;)
Keep doing what you’re doing. These videos have been amazing. I hope this style of talking with instructors through the faults and letting the people hear why it’s important to make these adjustments stays with you moving forward. Certainly helps us viewers be able to relate better than some other instructional videos designed just to get views
Great idea, let's move our hands at the golf ball in the downswing to produce a shank. Lovely. If you want to be stuck and late on every swing then this is the drill for you. Please go and watch one of the few golf teachers on youtube who actually knows what they're doing; that's Mike Malaska. This move will not work unless you want to hit shanks for a living. Try it for yourself. In golf you create speed with your hands and arms just like every other sport, the problem is most people don't use their hands and arms properly in golf. The body is involved in the golf swing but it is by no means the major speed producer. If you want to try and force the mechanics of this drill into your swing then by all means go for it; you'll look more like a broken old man than an athlete. If anyone wants to get better at golf they need to learn how to chip and pitch, getting good at releasing the club at slower speeds. Once you have that you you then start to understand where impact is and you can make full swings because you know how to hit the ball properly. No drill of this nature will ever fix anything if you haven't learn the basic skills first.
Love this. It shows that the energy stored up in the arms by the legs to hip to shoulder can still be caught up at the end by the arms, which results in lots of speed in the club.
One of the best duel videos I have seen in a long time. Run off and then full turn...... putting them together is class. I just used both videos while practicing. Not easy but near the end of an hour it started to click. I found my ball direction was much more down my target line as well. A+
Matt so glad you started a channel. Your sessions with Larry are brilliant...best stuff I have seen on RUclips. Easy to follow and so few others explain swing mechanics so well.
This video was a huge help for myself. As lately I have been working on better rotation along with using the ground for more power but I definitely have that miss hit and it feels like I’m slamming the face into the ground. Any tips or swing thoughts related to this issue while starting the downswing would be amazing! Lovin the content lately!
The conversation around separating your lower body-- and using your lower body to pull your torso around and generate power-- reminds me a lot of when I coached discus for a brief period of time. A lot of mechanical similarities when it comes to pulling your hips through before your arms and shoulders rotate around.
Great to see Matt on his own and creating really useful content. Rooting for you Matt! You are a talented golfer and communicator. I will stay tuned to what is next. The best is ahead for you and your viewers.
Arms are "active" in the back swing (hips and legs are "passive"). Reverse that for the downswing: Arms are completely "passive" and legs/hips are very "active." Firing those hips will shallow the club. Activate that lower body before the club even reaches the top of the back swing. Well, those thoughts work for me. Might be totally useless to someone else.
Dear Larry, I hope I can convey that I mean well when I say this. Please fewer “totally” and “exactly” and “correct” while Matt is talking for audio purposes on video. Thank you :)
Awesome Matty and LC, unfortunately at 65 with various arthritis problems, I think if I tried some of this I’d be unable to play golf for weeks. Love your content though.
Appreciate you watching! Will definitely have a variety of instructors and drills on the channel this year so should eventually be lots for everyone to choose from.
I'm not surprised it hurts your body try Steve prat or Mike malaska teaching on how to release and not hold angles and get speed with hands doing hinge release
I have been watching LC from the very beginning and of course TXG, so I understand LC concept pretty good but sometimes it is hard to grab the concept and practice with it. With LC and Matt together, everything become crystal.
I've been working hard to take my arms out if the swing and have also struggled with getting the arms shallowed. I had been practicing a move much like Matt makes by lowering the arms to feel the sensation of that shallowing as I squatted and then turned through. I Just played 18 holes struggling with hitting it just slightly fat, and I couldn't understand why until this video...Thanks Larry and Matt, I'll practice this exact drill next time!
Great video ty, I totally get this exercise because I'm all arms ,so much that when I go to the range and haven't been for a bit ,I hit 150 balls, I can't even move my right upper forearm and biescep it so sore and tight!! Thank you for showing how lower body controls the swing!! Good to see you Matt, glad everything worked out for you guys,, best of luck!!
This is great content. I’ve always liked Larrys teaching style but I like even better with you also in the frame. The back and forth is what makes it understandable and relatable. Also. I have this problem! Squat down And hit a foot behind the ball!
Absolutely appreciate, not only what you are bringing to your channel Matt, but the manner in which you are doing so 👌🏾 Easily digestible and, as I’m sure has been mentioned in previous comments, positively thought provoking. Loving the dynamic between the two of you. Thanks again guys! 🙏🏾 P.S. Larry, love the hair brother 😎🤙🏾
WOW, nail on the head. in trying to use more leg and ground force i find myself hitting dirt way behind the ball. This exercise looks like it will help. Getting older sucks. along with two heart attacks and covid making me feel weak. I need to find distance every way possible. I have been an arms swing guy forever. Looking forward to watching and learn from your instruction. Great to see you Matt and Larry. Dynamic duo , love it
Super fired up that you have your own channel now! Certainly used to watch to get the latest on gear, however my primary reason for tuning in was to try to copy your swing (albeit right handed). Beyond the technical gear conversation, listening to your reactions and comments as a player has been very helpful for my game. Great to see that you picked yourself up, dusted yourself off, and are back at it. I know you’ve got great things ahead. Very interested to see where you take your channel. Will be fun to watch!
Am absolutely loving the enhanced Matt Blois / Larry combo - RUclips’s best coach with its best student.
This seems like waaay too many things to think about. I recognize that lower body needs to initiate downswing but there has to be a less confusing way to do it. Squat down, unhinge wrists, push off/up, turn hips…holy moly.

This channel is gonna take off. Keep it up Matt.
The wizardry in this is mega! Loving the stuff from both of you!

Kananaskis is on my bucket list 🪣 ⛳️

This series is a great collaboration 🙏
Easy to understand
Such a good example as you are able to fulfill what Larry want you to achieve! Love it.
Cameron Champ does this super well.
It's crazy how you are working on the exact same things that I am over the past couple of Larry vids. This is helping to reinforce all of the stuff I am working on as well.
This is soooo timely with what I’m working on right now.
Wow that's a great drill... Gonna give that a try... Thanks Matt & Larry!!!
We love LC.
Incredible. I've tried to work on torso rotation instead of "arm-iness" for a while, but it never seemed to click. This video clearly and precisely illustrates not only the exact method, but also the rationale for why to do certain moves. I can't wait for more content!
Great explanation for the movements here!
This is exactly the trouble I had today at the range while trying to use the ground more. Putting this video on with me at the range tomorrow. Great content again, Matt!
Really like this series, some great info. I have a lot to work on!
really cool to see the distances increase each time you do the drill. Cant wait to see it all come together!
Great video! Can’t wait to see how you progress, Matt!
cheung is a freaking G
Great stuff Matt. What works for me is to feel like my hands are falling from the top of the backswing, and as my lower body moves into the squat I’m fighting to keep my back to the target.
Brilliant. Just what I have been looking for online. Saving it to watch later. And good luck with your channel Matt and with the charity.
So good to see you back Matt!!
Freeing up rotation to create a more smoother swing, I like that !
Thanks Matt for sharing your golf swing sessions with Larry 👍🏼
This is gold for swing speed and control. I had this feeling today while I was swinging my club and searched it on youtube to make sure I wasn't going nuts. Because the swing just felt effortless and SOO fast (with control too)! Feel like I discovered some secret knowledge lol

Larry is the greatest!
Larry is great at simplifying the message. Glad to c u two teaming up. I’m using this drill atm. Finding it helpful.
I break my range practice into segments of the swing (what I call 4 phases), and Matty has literally been giving me drills to help with every phase in his videos. Loving this channel, quickly becoming my favorite
the timing of this couldn't be more perfect, exactly what I've been working on with my coach!! These years of sitting at a desk have taken its toll on the hip flexors ;)
Great job Matt. Your ability to translate direction into action is really impressive and helps these videos come through well.
This 1-2 combo of videos is so good! I definitely overswing and will try this on the range next. Cheers!
Can't.Stop.Watchig.
Thanks guys.
This really helped my inconsistencies. The whole part on releasing the club at the top then holding and rotating through helped so much.
Love this video! Im currently in the same process with my coach. More body rotation less arms 👌🏼
Just the drill I need because I have the same habit of arm dominance. Thanks!
this is great its really easy to understand what is going on and how the drill works
Matt, I’ve subscribed just because it’s you.
Good luck on the new channel.
Keep doing what you’re doing. These videos have been amazing. I hope this style of talking with instructors through the faults and letting the people hear why it’s important to make these adjustments stays with you moving forward. Certainly helps us viewers be able to relate better than some other instructional videos designed just to get views
This is basically the "No Turn Cast" that Monte teaches, Rebellion Golf
Excellent video Matt. Keep it going. This channel will explode soon. Glad to see you.
I am so glad I run onto this! I was really missing Matt’s content. I just subscribed.
Loving you channel Matt! I look forward to this new format and Thank you for helping us average joe golfers!

dude holds the break position like a perfect screenshot! really good tips there

Great video and great drills. As someone who definitely depends on arms to create higher swing speeds this was great to see!
Matty- I followed you on TXG and so glad I found you again. Loyal subscriber now !
Loving this! This might be really useful for me in the current state of my swing.
More amazing content! Love the vids as always--thanks, Matt!
Dear Larry, I hope I can convey that I mean well when I say this. Please fewer “totally” and “exactly” and “correct” while Matt is talking for audio purposes on video. Thank you :)
Killing it brother Blois :).
this is some of the most helpful golf content ive ever seen. Thanks for putting this out there.
Great timing. Working on this.
Great video Matt. Keep up the good work.
I was always a little dubious about LC's 'down hinge' but NOW I get it 😊. Thx guys.
Just what i asked for.. Matts training to become so much better.. Thank you so much.. Signed, still haven't broke 40...
I’ve been working on this exactly with my coach over the off season. Nice to see a different perspective off the feels
I have this problem a lot when I'm tight or tired from my triathlon training. Having a drill will help a lot!
Mike Austin would say don’t give me that damn grasshopper jump. Don’t drop, don’t turn shift and throw
Awesome Matty and LC, unfortunately at 65 with various arthritis problems, I think if I tried some of this I’d be unable to play golf for weeks. Love your content though.

Great content Matt, keep it up and the swing looks great 👍

Matt, watching you on your own channel, you are really coming in to your own. well done and keep it up
Thanks Larry and Matt, I've been searching for a drill like this to work on my sequencing and quieting my arms.
Absolutely appreciate, not only what you are bringing to your channel Matt, but the manner in which you are doing so 👌🏾 Easily digestible and, as I’m sure has been mentioned in previous comments, positively thought provoking.

Great video once again 👍
This is fantastic content! Thank You Matt
Can relate too this, Use my arms too much and ending up getting stuck, with driver the most.
Super fired up that you have your own channel now! Certainly used to watch to get the latest on gear, however my primary reason for tuning in was to try to copy your swing (albeit right handed).

Matt, why are you messing with this? Your distance and accuracy has always seemed to be spot on.
Can always improve, my swing is very timing based and when it’s off I have a hard time shooting a decent score. Lots to learn 👍
