Another excellent session, Matt. Makes perfect sense. I look at your current studio and think back to the very first video I saw of you...hitting chip shots over your swimming pool into the net at the back of your yard - in the rain. And I thought, who is this nutcase? But I’ve followed you ever since and have seen improvements in my game from many of your tips. Keep up the good work!
Mat brilliant video explained so simple and easy to understand.Also you have transformed my short game I have gone from a handicap of 7 to 0.9 in twelve months. Thanks so much for all you help👏👏👏👏👏👏💪💪💪👍🏌🏿♂️⛳️
Your golf tips are amazing. Short game is everything and you've helped me a lot there....but your full swing tips are words that resonate with me. It has really helped. I even won a small amateur golf tournament in Arizona earlier this year employing some of your tips.
Great tips! One of my most recent little changes I have made, was being on the inside of my back foot like in the 1st tip, and it has really improved my drives and other shots.
That 3rd tip kind of goes against what I have always been told to do!! "Keep your head still" Maybe I'm keeping it too still! Will try this out at the golf dome this weekend.
Matt, happy new year. A little more squat on the down swing with the knees helps shallow the club for us over the toppers. Great instruction as always buddy!
I imagine tip #3 is taught "what not to do" because most amateurs don't do tip #1 and #2 -- that is, if a lesson is a half hour at $60/hr , many students looking for magic bullets don't (won't) listen to the lessons on stable weight platform and face control. I've begun to realize it's the base of the swing and the rest of the swing will follow and it' helped not only distance, but has cut my ball searching time exponentially.
It’s good that you thoroughly explain how and when to rise up. I find that I naturally felt that greater force could be applied rising up on the downswing. But with further thought I can see that my thought of rising up on the downswing doesn’t have the control necessary for accurate consistent shot making. My way would lead to terribly discouraging days on the golf course (dance floor). You make me want to jump out of my hibernation here in the northeast and hit golf balls.
Hi Matt! Hope you had a nice New Year with your family. I cannot wait to try your 3 keys when our course is open again because the high right now is in the mid 20s 😃. As always, thank you for your wonderful tips and lessons for trying to help us improve our game!👍👍👏👏👏🖐
Hey Mr Short Game, I noticed you could use a little more straightening (posting up) in your left/forward leg before impact. Another 20 yards available for you there. Just saying. Great videos, keep them coming.
Happy new year ! Any way to talk or teach some of those unique shots you only use when you need it? For example, I have a low flying, 60% swing, 100 yrd, 7 iron shot I use when I'm in the woods on the course. Something like that, kinda falls into using clubs different ways to keep it in play. Great channel, appreciate the videos.
Great video and tips! Those shoes (Athalonz) do indeed help one with the weight on the inside but beware if you happen to play in wet or even slightly wet conditions as the water-proofing is weak and your feet will be soaked!
I saw a vid of Phil talking about Max power and he advocates allowing your front foot to flare open after contact to take pressure off the front knee. I see your foot opens slightly in this video. Maybe experiment with fuller foot rotation and report back in subsequent video. Happy New Year.
Athlonz shoes remind me of the old Hi Tec Weight-rite shoes from 1990. Had kind of a build up on the outer portion of the shoe. USGA ruled them illegal, something about a device to aid in the stroke or something like that. Had a pair, didn’t help my game a whole lot and they weighed a ton.
Do you have the same feeling of having the clubface closed with irons? Long irons/short irons? Or do you have just a little filay it open or face rotation with those clubs? Thanks
I was told the opposite in tip 1, and every time I do not move my foot you are now telling me that this is correct, and I thought I was doing it wrong!
Great video!!!!! I did gain speed, but I have developed a horrible bad habit of swinging out to in and getting a pull. Any ideas! Speed and distance, but now I am hitting the wrong fairway.......hahahahaha
Matt, wasn't it you recently suggesting that your left forearm should feel a bit like you're rotating it backward during the backswing to prevent the club head from rolling over?
In your view: does wearing a glove add to distance? (perhaps you can make a separate video about the merits of wearing a glove...). I don't use a glove when playing golf and have not once felt the need to do so...
The first one, The Shark used to call that, RPB, right pocket back- stops the sway off the ball. Great simple swing thought actually. Loosen the grip too. I see so many chumps white knuckling it trying to bomb it. Keep your head behind the ball, again, chumps lurch forward.
I thought you keep your knees bent in the backswing, and then push off of the ground to stand taller throughout your downswing, to generate power. Ala just about every long hitting pro.
does everyone else feel this shift in coaching the past six months...almost every online golf teacher is now it's hit as hard a possible, maximize distance, etc...whatever happened to swing at 80%, keep it play, don't give up penalty shots?
A lot of the coaching I've seen lately has been to focus more on the platform and rotation and let the swing follow in line. The premise being that hitting harder comes from the beginning (platform and rotation) and not trying to initiate a powerful swing in the shoulders. I think with Dechambeau and other tour players creaming the yardage, these online instructors are tying to "give" a nugget to the "I wanna be Bryce" to their students while trying to keep them in the fairway.
Matt has indicated in his videos that sometimes it’s better to over club the shot. Which means that in the golf shot feeling for the shot is of greater importance than maxing out a particular club that say gets 100 yards. I agree that feeling for the shot wins the day.
i just seen mitchell little china woman say this the other day i told my friend yesterday on the course to turn that right foot end an he hit farthest he ever hit the ball
286 Yards with just 99.7 swing speed?? The average is 2.29 yards per MPH. So your carry should only be 228.3. Hmmm! You must have rigged your Trackman.
Raising the head is poor advice sorry. The average tour player in 2021 as measured by V1, and AMG analytics LOWERS an average of 3 inches with less then 3% ever raising they head during the back swing. If tour players understand the inconsistencies this introduces - not advice I would give.

Well done... Mr. Short Game... great tips on the Driver.
Great video as always, you help to keep me focused on the small things that are important to improvement
Matt, happy new year. A little more squat on the down swing with the knees helps shallow the club for us over the toppers. Great instruction as always buddy!
Fantastic. Really enjoyed this video. One to try when our course re-opens after the snow goes away! Paul
Love it! Great Tips Matt!
Great vid, love the first key and easy explained.....keep it up
The 3rd tip is so what we’ve learnt not to do but must try this as we see a lot of modern golfers actually do this ! Great vid

Thanks for the great videos Matt you really have helped my golf game with you videos.
Excellent tips for high handicappers. 👍🏽👊🏽
Great suggestions! Can't wait to try them!

Loved this video!

Your vids are awesome...Many Aces for you in 2021...
Great Video!
Thanks very much My friend.

Since posting this they have now added a waterproof version of their shoe!

Again thank you much!

We are actually the only shoe to be ruled USGA legal! Check us out at www.athalonz.com !
Do you ever use the net you n your kids built outside? Was pretty 👌 nice
Do you have the same feeling of having the clubface closed with irons? Long irons/short irons? Or do you have just a little filay it open or face rotation with those clubs? Thanks
I gained distance with your grip video, serious, playing Sunday 5/22/21 let u know on driver
Athalonz made a difference for me as they make me 5-10 yards longer with every club.
We love to see that they are helping your game! 👍🏼
I was told the opposite in tip 1, and every time I do not move my foot you are now telling me that this is correct, and I thought I was doing it wrong!
I needed to hear #2
Great video!!!!! I did gain speed, but I have developed a horrible bad habit of swinging out to in and getting a pull. Any ideas! Speed and distance, but now I am hitting the wrong fairway.......hahahahaha
Is it the same tips for irons power gains?
Matt, wasn't it you recently suggesting that your left forearm should feel a bit like you're rotating it backward during the backswing to prevent the club head from rolling over?
Muy bueno!
Good Morning
@9:37 That might be correct, but Camron Champ moves down on the backswing and hits the ball a long way.
I like your vids but what’s up with your fairways??? How fast and hard are those?
Bryson Chambleu’s power move!
In your view: does wearing a glove add to distance? (perhaps you can make a separate video about the merits of wearing a glove...). I don't use a glove when playing golf and have not once felt the need to do so...
I want a Mr. Shortgame hat
The first one, The Shark used to call that, RPB, right pocket back- stops the sway off the ball. Great simple swing thought actually. Loosen the grip too. I see so many chumps white knuckling it trying to bomb it. Keep your head behind the ball, again, chumps lurch forward.
You sound like a chump
@@Itsaharrisonthing you need to lose weight Harrison lol.
D-wreck B-check nice one
How much time should I practice each week to start improving?
I go 4 times a week 2 days I’m ripping the driver as fast as I can the other 2 a full range sesh with chipping and putting
The third tip doesn't work for me because that was my bad habit of dipping upon the hitting the ball
Max. allowable?
The fastest I’ve ever clicked on a video
Hi what make of shoe was that and can you get ladies
It sure wound suck to shank one in that room and screw up those nice cabinets. I wound be nervous. Haha.
I thought you keep your knees bent in the backswing, and then push off of the ground to stand taller throughout your downswing, to generate power. Ala just about every long hitting pro.
The key to 20 mores yards is club speed and ball speed, get more of these and your ball will fly farther period!
In finding that I don’t have to worry about coming down because the swing helps me do that automatically. It’s like my brain knows what I’m doing
A doorstop might work for the first part. It would easily fit in the bag and cost a buck.
does everyone else feel this shift in coaching the past six months...almost every online golf teacher is now it's hit as hard a possible, maximize distance, etc...whatever happened to swing at 80%, keep it play, don't give up penalty shots?
Yeah called good golf

i just seen mitchell little china woman say this the other day i told my friend yesterday on the course to turn that right foot end an he hit farthest he ever hit the ball
Is this why when Kyle Berkshire swings it looks like he goes really far up and down?
Sooo, if I’m smacking the ball...let’s say 400...and I apply these tips I will hit that 420?
286 Yards with just 99.7 swing speed?? The average is 2.29 yards per MPH. So your carry should only be 228.3. Hmmm! You must have rigged your Trackman.
1 view. 1 thumb down..who did that.
Thats the guy that brings his gf to the range and only hits driver but sprays it all over the place.
Ahhhh that’s right lol the dude that watches this video and says it messed up his swing and why he’s shooting triple digits
Raising the head is poor advice sorry. The average tour player in 2021 as measured by V1, and AMG analytics LOWERS an average of 3 inches with less then 3% ever raising they head during the back swing. If tour players understand the inconsistencies this introduces - not advice I would give.
