It’s clear you love what you are doing! It makes you an excellent teacher!! The only think I worry about is newer players working hard on this and it developing into the dreaded slide forward. Transfer the weight but rotate AROUND yourself!!
Your videos rock. High handicap golfer who hasn’t played in ten years. I never hit my stiff flex, 9 degree good. Did this drill today, concentrated on get my but out of the way, to coil up and I was crushing pinnacle range balls, carry 260 so with premium balls this would get me around 300 with the roll. When I was in my 30s I only hit this driver around 250, just wasn’t generating enough club head speed for a stiff shaft w 9 degrees. Your channel is making golf fun again, Huge Thanks and I am confident I will finally figure out this game because of your channel.
Dear Mr Short Game, kudos to you as you are only one of two golf pros that I have watched on RUclips that works from the feet up. Even when I discussed this bottom up principle to my offline golf pro, he looked at me with a blank look but I know I am onto something.
Matt, I’ve had a problem slicing my driver. Watched this video, went to the driving range to work on my weight transfer, and then walked 9 holes. Shot a 35 because my drives were relatively straight (slight fade) and MUCH closer to greens. Thank you!!!
I think you gave me my missing Key. I've not yet hit 14 large buckets of balls but the few I've hit amazed me. Thanks for the info! You stated this was a driver-drill, but this works on my Irons also. I assume all my clubs would benefit from this.
Another good tip I will take to the driving range. Your setup tip with driver and irons has already got me hitting the fairway better than ever before. Much better consistent contact close to center face instead of the heel. Receiving the shaft not grabbing it is another tip that has helped as well. Keep the great tips coming.
Matt u have hooked me on the game of golf and gave me the drive to keep doing better... don’t stop and keep the energy and ambition going..Love ya man.... lets go.... 👍🤪🏌️😎
Great video, one thing that also helps is keeping that dorsiflexion, I’ve noticed when I walk I lose it when my legs start getting tired. Sometimes I forget and wonder why my swing went to crap all a sudden, I try to think of a skateboarder or surfer to remind me what position to be in.
I can attest to this. In my first year alone, I went from hitting pop fly's miles in the sky and only reaching 140 yards at most and scratching my head, to bombing 330 yard drives. Not 330 all the time but at least in a consistent range from 260-310 and not killing myself. I'm still learning and working on this... golf is a journey as he stated.
You may not be a certified teaching pro, but you should be. You give so much better and clearer instruction on the swing than the "major" certified instructors
Great video and it works....I felt a little out of control at first due to the club wobbling about on the pumps but hand/eye took over and I hit the ball solidly, not always straight or perfect but weight transfer was there each time. Only 13 more buckets to go...
Thanks a lot for this... you described my faults to a tee... will be down the range just doing the drill... I know it will work just got to dial it into the brain... cheers
every time I play rustic, there are yellow balls everywhere...now I know...great video MSG. keep 'em coming...now go get those range balls...oh, why are u hitting from the white tees...get back there on the blues/black
Hi Mr sg Matt Fisher... u are god sent.. i've been consuming your videos religously for these past few weeks.. thank u for making this video.. and for the upcoming new series I have just started playing golf last few months with a coach n after ending the lessons i still have the problem of topping and slicing the ball.. n really ur videos do help me to overcome it by the way when pumping the left knee during the down swing.. is it possible to overbend it.. or do i just slightly transfer my weight to the left... and pump it a little...? Your feedback is very much appreciated... Thank you
Great video you are absolutely correct we all go full force at the top but never our bottom half. It's like when lifting weights get your chest and arms big but neglect our legs then have nothing to support that weight. Thanks because I'm guilty of this exact thing
Dear Matt, I have been following you for quite some time and your tips are really good! But with this drive tip for beginners I disagree because I think the most important thing about a drive (if you want to hit a draw, and certainly not a slice) is that you keep your right arm close to your body. I look forward to your opinion. Thanks for all the good tips and I will continue to follow you! Kind regards, Arjan
Matt, I have played for way too many years with this issue, and really think this drill tomorrow might be a trigger to me learning the move. It is so frustrating being able to hit perfect straight shots with everything, only thing is a 125 yard 7 iron and a 185 carry drive are no fun. I have watched the guy, Milo on the teeter/totter, but that pop up move for a old dude with a bunch of past surgeries was not appealing. Maybe this drill, can trigger it! Too watch something you have done wrong your whole life and see a fix you understand gives hope! I live in Spartanburg and have a Simulator, want to give me lessons?
Hi Mr Shortgame. Apart from the quality of teaching, advice and the image: the sound in your videos is very good. What kind of mic do you use? Is it a directional mic stuck on top of your camera? (surprises me, though, that there is hardly any ambient sound and volume stays quite equal regardless of whether you are closer or not to the camera), so is it a wireless lapel mic? But I don't see one on your shirt? I'd be interested as I not only wish to improve my golf but also the sound in my own channel videos.. Thanks
Thanks for this Mr short game. I will do this but what to do after this? Please let me know as I will have probably finished doing the 14 buckets by the end of today. Also can you do this drill without actually hitting a ball? I'd like to do this at home too. Thanks in advance.
The thing is though it does feel like I’m following through hence finishing on the toe. So difficult but I’ll keep at it . Good content and enjoyable to watch 👍🏾
I think the answer again is "rotate". If you start thing "weight transfer" you may start to slide. You may get a lot of push shots. The biggest fault in the golf swing is poor or no rotation.
I agree, my exact problem. If you exaggerate your through rotation it makes for a much smoother swing and stops you hitting at the ball as your concentrating on after it. It sure helped my push shots..
Hahahah. That’s me . Finish on the toe after I’ve swung the club. Didn’t realise I did this until I seen a video. Was funny to watch seeing me hit the ball then finish on the toe
Matt, Can you do a video on foot placement based on the club you are swinging. I hear so much about foot placement in golf, yet I have never seen a video done on it.
Hi there On my practice swing I can do a full swing but when it comes to taking the shot I can only do half a swing , it’s as though I think I’m going to mess it up Please can you help
It’s clear you love what you are doing! It makes you an excellent teacher!! The only think I worry about is newer players working hard on this and it developing into the dreaded slide forward. Transfer the weight but rotate AROUND yourself!!
You are THE MAN. Have never seen such straight to the point, concise golf drill videos. Thanks man!

100%!!! No instructor ever showed me hip/leg/foot work. Once I learned it (on my own), it changed the game for me!! Great video!
I’ve found your videos so helpful thank you so much going to start on this drill right away!
Matt, I’ve had a problem slicing my driver. Watched this video, went to the driving range to work on my weight transfer, and then walked 9 holes. Shot a 35 because my drives were relatively straight (slight fade) and MUCH closer to greens. Thank you!!!
I’m new golfer for almost 5 year’s thank you MATT 🏌️♂️ love you 🏌️♂️be safe 🏌️♂️god bless 🏌️♂️🏌️♂️
Gotta love this dudes energy 🤙🏾🤙🏾🤙🏾
Your passion for the game shows thru your energy of teaching.
I think you gave me my missing Key. I've not yet hit 14 large buckets of balls but the few I've hit amazed me. Thanks for the info!

Love it! So important, because it also gets your body to TURN, TURN, TURN!

Matt u have hooked me on the game of golf and gave me the drive to keep doing better... don’t stop and keep the energy and ambition going..Love ya man.... lets go.... 👍🤪🏌️😎
Gonna do this at the range next chance I get. My problem is too much arms and not enough core rotation or legs, and this is exactly what I feel I need
Great video, one thing that also helps is keeping that dorsiflexion, I’ve noticed when I walk I lose it when my legs start getting tired. Sometimes I forget and wonder why my swing went to crap all a sudden, I try to think of a skateboarder or surfer to remind me what position to be in.
I'll try this, thanks
This guy is fun the watch, but very good at instruction. His subtle comedy is nice.
You’re an absolute champ! Such simple instruction!

that's encouraging
That is the "breakthrough" that is needed!!!
2 thumbs up.. weight transfer is key...
Thanks man
.
This tip really works. I’ve tried and my inconsistency solved.
Love this drill and the concept
Frist time seeing this training video sound information and going to try it out. I'll let you know my evaluation.
I will do this drill into my net religiously. I know this is one of my problem areas. The pumping idea sounds great.
Thanks I think this is one on my biggest issues
You may not be a certified teaching pro, but you should be. You give so much better and clearer instruction on the swing than the "major" certified instructors

still trying
every time I play rustic, there are yellow balls everywhere...now I know...great video MSG. keep 'em coming...now go get those range balls...oh, why are u hitting from the white tees...get back there on the blues/black
Hi Mr sg Matt Fisher... u are god sent.. i've been consuming your videos religously for these past few weeks.. thank u for making this video.. and for the upcoming new series
I have just started playing golf last few months with a coach n after ending the lessons i still have the problem of topping and slicing the ball.. n really ur videos do help me to overcome it
by the way when pumping the left knee during the down swing.. is it possible to overbend it.. or do i just slightly transfer my weight to the left... and pump it a little...?
Your feedback is very much appreciated... Thank you
Agree! Weight shift is important to crisper contact.
So much to apply.....curse you winter!!!!!
Tnks for your vids... easy to listen and learn from you... great direction in your teaching. Aloha
Man behind counter: How may I help you?
Me: 14 big buckets please.
Guy behind counter: 😳
I needed this!

I like this guy. Great drill. His bunker lesson changed my life!
Once again...great tips!!! You are confirming everything I have learned through the years!! Thanks Matt!!!!

Please relate it to triangle or belly drill for higher handicapers
Thanks
Thanks My friend.
Nailed the drill......I do the same drill when warming up/Practicing. I do the same with irons
Great and simple drill! Thanks for being engaging and keeping it very easy to follow
Thanks
Advice has to be money not one dislike. I don’t think I’ve ever seen that. This makes sense though gotta have that good foundation first. Ground up
thank you i cant wait to try this drill!
Great drill Matt, it should be part of the fundamentals
Nice drill
I’m gonna try this!!!
be perfect for me this just started the game of golf 2 weeks ago at the age of 55 need all the help i can get
I'm 59 and I started last Fall. Hang in there.
@@kcs05 I'm 33 and just started about a month ago and I wanna quit because I keep hitting it to the right lol
Malie aim left 🤣
Thanks for this Mr short game. I will do this but what to do after this? Please let me know as I will have probably finished doing the 14 buckets by the end of today. Also can you do this drill without actually hitting a ball? I'd like to do this at home too. Thanks in advance.
Thanks for the drill Mr. SG
Hey Matt, great video. and O am on my way to range to try it. Thank you.
You should use that shot tracer app. So much nicer to see the shots. Love the videos. Can’t wait to practice this. Thanks
Thanks your the Best,,,,
Thanks! I needed to see this drill!!!
Matt, does this works for irons?
Thanks!!! Awesome drill and video as always!!!
I'll start looking for those giant buckets A.S.A.P 😂😂 !! Thank you May for these very instructional videos they are very helpful
Love the tip drill.
Love the videos and they really help a new golfer like myself.
The thing is though it does feel like I’m following through hence finishing on the toe. So difficult but I’ll keep at it . Good content and enjoyable to watch 👍🏾
Great video!
Best videos ever!
This drill is genius. If you get this, it will set you up to get good
Same drill for weight shift on irons
Excellent advice. Thanks.
Great video. Keep up the good work!
I love your videos thank you
Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you.
Matt, excelent as always!!! Got a quick question this drill is only for Driver?
I think the answer again is "rotate". If you start thing "weight transfer" you may start to slide. You may get a lot of push shots. The biggest fault in the golf swing is poor or no rotation.
I agree, my exact problem. If you exaggerate your through rotation it makes for a much smoother swing and stops you hitting at the ball as your concentrating on after it. It sure helped my push shots..
Love love love this drill! Thank you!
Great video. Will you also advise on out to in with driver in later videos?
wow this is a great tip!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would a Smash Bag work just as well for this drill ?
Love you man..
Thanks bud
Hahahah. That’s me . Finish on the toe after I’ve swung the club. Didn’t realise I did this until I seen a video. Was funny to watch seeing me hit the ball then finish on the toe
Matt, I’m new to golf!
Do you employee this same swing for Fairway Woods and irons?
Pete
Thank you
"Everyday I'm shuffling", will give this pump drill a go, need to stop slicing, might need some music though with 14 large buckets 😉
What brand golf shoes are those you are wearing? Thank u
Can you practice this with your fairway woods?
Im a new golfer and tend to pick my left foot up after a shot what can i do or practice to keep it down..
Great video thanks for the tips. Thanks I really like to see a match between you, Grant and Micah. Let's make that happen. Thanks
would this help with early extension
Matt, Can you do a video on foot placement based on the club you are swinging. I hear so much about foot placement in golf, yet I have never seen a video done on it.
Yeah that will be interesting!
Rick Shiels has done a few
After one large bucket I'm beat. 14 buckets would take a while for my back to adjust. :)
i will work on that. hardest club in my bag.
3w for me....I can probably ly throw the 3w farther than I could hit a golf ball with it
I'm ready to take my driver out the bag and use my 4 iron, frustrating contraption.
Is he rocking some lead tape on the TS?
Hi there
On my practice swing I can do a full swing but when it comes to taking the shot I can only do half a swing , it’s as though I think I’m going to mess it up
Please can you help
Sounds like it is a mental block. Matt does have other videos on how to work through this.
You can't golf scared, bro
Hypnosis?
wonder if there is anyway possible to send a short clip of my swing with Driver maybe you can tell me what im doing wrong max i get out is 230 yrds?
