Excellent tuition,One of the best explainations of the driver swing I have seen. I tried the tip with the shoulder and hit my driver long and straight, and I am 72 years of age.
There’s lot of great stuff in here. However, because there’s so much information I think your videos would benefit a lot from a summary at the end with key takeaways/drills for each tip.
Interesting very well done. First time I have heard of hitting the ball at 4 o'clock. It helped to simplify things a little bit more concerning properly swinging the driver. Also like the quiet left shoulder aspect, it about being smooth.
Matt once again another excellent video on the driver swing. The two major points I picked out were hitting the ball from 4 o’clock, which means you have made contact with the ball from the correct position. Secondly the point about your lead shoulder only moving 6 inches. Please thank your dad for an excellent video, which was very well explained. I will practice the drill with the tees in the ground and always hitting from the inside.
This is how I'm trying to be with my son when him and I get older. My son Aleck and I started playing last year after the pandemic canceled little league baseball season for him. Now we go once a week to learn together to work on our game. He loves golf now more so then baseball hahaha.
One driving range session, I had over 20 broken tees for maybe 30 swings. Was actually my first time swinging a club in something like 15 years. After that, I switched to some different tees with some plastic forgiveness in them and had one tee last almost all summer...didn't break until I was hitting balls in 30F temps one day. haha. But, I really need to practice that drill, along with that 4 O Clock drill. I slice a lot, sometimes REALLY bad. I've recorded a few times with the driver and do think I come down too steep. I struggle with getting that consistency down.
Thanks for sharing. I can't hit my driver properly and I hope this will help me. Currently we are all confined in France because of Covid-19, but I promise you to try this as soon as possible.
Really like that Matt. Simple, especially the last tip about clipping the top of the tee. I can relate to your Dad (you too!l) as I reckon he's my generation. Cheers, Brian
what a lovely man .your Dad Matt, well i.m one of those out to in swingers and do the banana swing from left to right almost every time, I can't wait to go out the back garden with my tees to practice that routine,and then apply it on the course, thank you. Tom 75yrs.
Great video. Good simple explanations.i didn’t realize that was a yellow hoop in the back until 3 minutes in lol. I thought you drew the yellow circle around something for the viewers to pay attention to.
Excellent lesson & full of valuable information. I need to watch this video repeatedly plus practices in order to fully benefit from this lesson. Many thanks.
Matt, you helped me (from a different video) with my takeaway immensely. This video was also extremely helpful, and was special because your dad was in it. Your dad is about my age but, for some reason, he hits the ball much better than me. My tees fly all over the place! 😉
Is your da a scratch golfer or what? I love that hes like giving you a lesson matt. My dad does that even though ive a lower handicap. Lol. Doesn't matter how good you are when it comes to dads. Lol.
MATT , your vid on wedges . and sand play . well ive put the wedge play into operation the results are stunning first 2 rds I duffed 4 the last 2 rds only one in each by that I mean they dropped short. SO HOW DO I HIT THE WEDGE TO GO FURTHER WITHOUT PULLING IT ? PAUL THANKS
Hello , paul here . I notice your stance is not that wide is that how power comes or do you need extra wide stance to gain this power. I am not being big headed but I can hit the driver off any tee height from yellow castle white pink orange castle tees . best shots come off white castle tees especially into wind. I have a Cobra F Max red draw and it was brand new last August 2019 from October 2019 it has stayed in a bag at home because I have no idea where the ball will go off the tee. I did buy a £60 Cobra F 7 ajustable driver AND HAVE FOUND IF I SET IT UP BELOW THE CENTRE MARKER I FIND THE F'WAY EVERY TIME AGAIN ANY TEE HIEGHT . Some say I'm a big hitter but at 64 yrs 240 yards drive is not a big hitter in my opinion.
I try to keep my grip pressure very firm to retain control over the club face but have my arms fairly loose so I can generate a fast swing. If both are loose the shot will go all over the place. And if the arms are firm, not enough club head speed will be generated.
Watched this just now and noticed that you held your breath when you swung through the ball. At least I didn't hear you exhale when you hit it and I definitely heard you inhale when you took the club back. It seems that you would keep a lot of tension in your shoulders and chest that would transfer to your arms if you don't exhale on acceleration through the ball. Its all about being relaxed and not tense which folks tend to get when addressing the ball for some reason. Anyways good vid. thanks
with my drives I address the ball as required. Just before I start my back swing I slightly stretch the club so that the ball is slightly past the clubhead centre. When I do that I usually hit a reasonable drive, but sometimes I over extend and hit a pull hook or if I under extend I slice it. How can I reach the happy medium. (which is nt very often)
Matt the second tip about coming into the ball at 4 o'clock is it also applicable to irons? I have a tendancy to swing from to outside and I wondering if a visual guide at 4 o'clock might help me swing from the inside with all clubs not just the driver
Brilliant tips and great video, your Dad is some ball Stricker 🏌️♂️👍 Just as a matter of interest how far does he hit it ? He has a great really slow swing. As a beginner golfer i feel i need to swing hard and fast to achieve good distance , and i know that is wrong 😪
He fly's a 7 iron about 160 yards and a driver about 240 yards. It's better to make a solid contact with a slightly smoother swing, than a poor contact with a faster swing
paul here, hello again. I like these kind of tips now I'm getting older. Q, so if i follow your teaching will it gain me more yardage or just find the f'way . Q, if not yardage, do you have to turn your body more or swing the arm faster
Love your tips as always Matt, One little ? from this slicing golfer, if I hit the ball @ 4:00 won't I send the ball into the next fairway on the right. Man this is a confusing & hard game. I think I should take up watching golf instead of trying to play it.
It's a tuff old game but stick at it. If you are coming in at "4 o'clock" and slicing that works be a push slice, so you just need to get the face closing then you would get a draw 👍
Honestly the best advice is that you dont need to hit balls to practice all the time. I'm definitely going to use the tee technique to practice in the yard.
Great video you two! (Adrian has more hair than Matt - hehehe) Seriously, you both present ideas/concepts in a way that is meaningful and relatable to me. Much appreciated.
The six inches between your ears. Golf My Way by Jack is the best book on teaching. I have a first edition. It really is the golfing bible and still current. I bet your dad has a copy?
Liked and subscribed. Had to go back 9 mins in because of the players hitting. LoL Great tips! I shared w a couple buddies. One is a bad hooker (of the ball) 😏
Matt, that "quiet shoulder" tip is quite difficult to achieve. I managed it by turning back in a really relaxed fashion ie not as if I'm trying to belt it 300 yards.
Shoulder wont lead the swing if your right elbow and you shallow out your back swing, which give you an in to out swing. Want the whip sounds find a comfortable balance in your lead foot, which cause you to lean into you swing and whip the club face. I been there, MATE
Practiced tip#1 my bad habits is too fast in transition. Kudos to papa Fryer. By the way does he know your the new Calvin Klein model😎 remember like I said on FB no underwear pics 😂😂😂
MATT , How do I relax when putting ? COULD IT BE THAT LOSS OF MY MOTHER TO THE VIRUS HAS LEFT ME TENSE ? I had a great touch on the greens but now im like a brick, no feeling and holding the putter feels awful ,and in making the stroke my lead arm does not move or if it does its a stiff pull. PAUL THANKS , GREAT VIDS TAKE CARE.

Great touch to have those two guys in the background demonstrating how to not hit a driver.

Thanks for this Matt. Your dad's explanations were excellent. Really looking forward to some future Fryer collaborations.
The 2 guys who hit the errant shot at 9:39... and walk in like a Bigfoot sighting hacking away in the background are great😂😂😂😂😂👍🏼

Great tips from your great dad. Can’t wait to practice them in the back garden or in the practice range tomorrow. Many thanks. Abdulla Nasher, Canada
Glad they have helped, let me know how the practice goes 👍
This is how I'm trying to be with my son when him and I get older. My son Aleck and I started playing last year after the pandemic canceled little league baseball season for him. Now we go once a week to learn together to work on our game. He loves golf now more so then baseball hahaha.
Your father is a gem! Wish we had that wisdom here! Cheers from the west coast of the US!
3 great tips and easy to understand them. Will see how I get on tomorrow morning!
Really nice ! A sum up of the 3 tips in the description would be amazing !! Thanks a lot for this video.
One driving range session, I had over 20 broken tees for maybe 30 swings. Was actually my first time swinging a club in something like 15 years.

I thoroughly enjoyed that video. How helpful that was. Thank you....
Absolute spot on! Everything youse covered is exactly what I’ve been doing! Will be watching this on re-peat before I hit the range
Thanks for sharing. I can't hit my driver properly and I hope this will help me.
Currently we are all confined in France because of Covid-19, but I promise you to try this as soon as possible.
How can 28 people not like this????? Mental! great tips and nicely explained.
Nice to see papa Fryer giving some advice
Great lesson guys! I plan to clip tees in my garden (backyard). I also like the 4 o’clock idea. I am sure I can visualize (visualise) that.
Miss the tee(peg). My driver and I are friends again! Lower and less spinney ball flight. Fantastic.
Simple yet practical approach to the golf swing.. very well done Mr Fryer Snr.
I enjoy watching your instruction because they are easy to understand
That's what I try to do with all my coaching, make it as simple as possible
Good stuff Matt. Your pops has a nice swing. Can't wait to hit the range and practice now. Cheers
Simple easy to follow and understand, brilliant tips 👍
4pm and snipe the tee peg. Great drill to do during Lockdown without balls.
Thank you for the golden tip of down swing at 4 o’clock. No more slice..
Well done Fryer’s! Thanks!
Man that quiet left shoulder is what I definitely needed to hear. Now I need to implement it into my game.
Really like that Matt. Simple, especially the last tip about clipping the top of the tee. I can relate to your Dad (you too!l) as I reckon he's my generation. Cheers, Brian

Really enjoyed the lesson, can’t wait to try it on the range and on the course. 👍
Great tips as usual. You're a very good teacher Matt. PS it's the ground not the floor!! Norverners eh🤣
Excellent lesson & full of valuable information. I need to watch this video repeatedly plus practices in order to fully benefit from this lesson.
Many thanks.
What a great swing Mr Fryer Snr has. Good tips there.
Great video, Matt. The analogies helped me. Can't wait to get to the range!
My irons are good. I have taken a lot off my driver to tame the slice. I hope this will help a little.
Matt, you helped me (from a different video) with my takeaway immensely. This video was also extremely helpful, and was special because your dad was in it. Your dad is about my age but, for some reason, he hits the ball much better than me. My tees fly all over the place! 😉
Great tip for finding center face of driver w tees!👍🏽
Ur dad is a awesome teacher. As a viewer, it wouldve helped to have simple text for his main teaching points. Thanks for the helpful video
Brilliant thanks cant wait to get out on the course now
Good stuff Matt 👍my putting needs work any tips on distance control/perception especially would be great.
That path tip makes a lot of sense to me. Going to workshop that to see if it helps take away the right side of the course.
Yep it's a great visual! Give it a go and let me know how it goes 👍
This video is Gold!!! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼 just need some good weather now 🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄
Glad it has helped!! Fingers crossed we don't need Noah's ark soon and the courses dry out 😂
Great to see Adrian on your channel great content keep up the good work👍
Just found this .
Superb tips
Thankyou
My pleasure Scott, hope they get you crushing the driver
Good tips. Thanks Matt and Dad 👌👍👌
Nice team effort gentlemen!
Thanks Tim, more to come so stay tuned!
What a really great set of tips, many thanks for the help
Simple tips. Easy to remember. Excellent.
Well done Gents, great to see your dad making an appearance on the channel Matt, I hope that it's repeated in the future.
Is your da a scratch golfer or what? I love that hes like giving you a lesson matt. My dad does that even though ive a lower handicap. Lol. Doesn't matter how good you are when it comes to dads. Lol.

Excellent lesson, great simple instruction keeping the left shoulder more passive and not trying to kill it. Future father son match maybe?
This looks like it might be really helpful advice...I going to give it a try once the ice and snow gets the hell out of here.
I try to keep my grip pressure very firm to retain control over the club face but have my arms fairly loose so I can generate a fast swing. If both are loose the shot will go all over the place. And if the arms are firm, not enough club head speed will be generated.
Great video Matt... Great to see the legend that is your dad making a guest appearance. Remember lessons with him at Drive time! #nostalgic

Great tips! Cant wait to use them myself.
Can't wait to see that 😳
Your dads a legend
More great info thank you
Smash the living the daylights out of it. Love it!
Great drills them, thanks
Great Tips Gents and so simple
That's it Alan, no need to make the game any harder!
Nice calibration Matt
Great video/ love the pick the ball off the tee tip
Your father is pretty awesome!👍👍👍
SUBSCRIBE TO MATT!!!!
Enjoyed the video! Thumbs up Dad :-)
Wow really great tips. You guys should team up more often.
Good stuff

Matt should be playing Augusta having a proper coach for a poppa
Excellent Mr Fryer Snr, you could teach your son a thing or too still I bet👍
He sure does 🤙
Strike is king.
Great Tips once again!!!
Great video and practical tips which I am looking forward to trying. You are definately a chip off the old block
Ha thanks, he's taught me well!
Brilliant tips and great video, your Dad is some ball Stricker 🏌️♂️👍
Just as a matter of interest how far does he hit it ? He has a great really slow swing. As a beginner golfer i feel i need to swing hard and fast to achieve good distance , and i know that is wrong 😪

This is make more sense mannnn🤙🤙
Great tips! Just nicking the tee makes so much sense. Can't wait to try it!
Thanks, glad you enjoyed them!
Does the broken tee thing apply to 120+ mph swings
First time I've ever heard about keeping your tee in tack.I like that thought thou.
Great lesson
Liked the tip with the tee pegs
Yep simple but so important!
Love your tips as always Matt, One little ? from this slicing golfer, if I hit the ball @ 4:00 won't I send the ball into the

Thanks Eric glad you liked it
Great tips for the driver. And BTW, I have the same Ping driver--absolutely love it!
Honestly the best advice is that you dont need to hit balls to practice all the time. I'm definitely going to use the tee technique to practice in the yard.
Great video you two! (Adrian has more hair than Matt - hehehe) Seriously, you both present ideas/concepts in a way that is meaningful and relatable to me. Much appreciated.
My pleasure! And yes he does, but I have an extra foot in height 😂
as a result of staying on the swing plane that should bring the club head into the ball at 4:00 , does that sound rite ? thanks .
Good vid, could do with a little less chatter from the big guy though.
The six inches between your ears. Golf My Way by Jack is the best book on teaching. I have a first edition. It really is the golfing bible and still current. I bet your dad has a copy?
We both do, great book!!
Great tips mate 👍
In Africa the ground is to hard for wooden tees to last a round....
Liked and subscribed. Had to go back 9 mins in because of the players hitting. LoL
Great tips! I shared w a couple buddies. One is a bad hooker (of the ball) 😏
