Every time I go to the range, I have a game plan. Then, as soon as I get there, everything goes out the window, and I'm aimlessly hitting balls. I'm going to make sure from now on I practice with purpose 🙏🏾🤙🏾
Yup, got my Mr. SG recommended Net Playz, Bag Shag, 3 x 5 turf and small tee turf. Alignment stick-check. Towel-check. Need a dodge ball and maybe another stick. If you're doing it, Freddy's doing it then we should do it. Oh, and OK on the LIV thing-I'd go if given the chance. Be an equal opportunity advantage taker. I'm trying to break 80 at 66 Y/O. Happy 2023.
Being at a liv golf tournament is nothing to apologise for I would love to to see a championship tournament between the pga and liv just like other sports
Every time I go to the range I use the alignment sticks and a foam yoga block to work on hitting the center of the face. Definitely agree with you on the feel vs real statement. Exaggeration will change very little but it will change something
Alignment stick above the ball changed my life. Using it to tell me how much I’m moving in my stance. We tend to stand up in the downswing, resulting in a shot far right. When I was moving to much, I’d hit the alignment stick that was placed above the ball
I always use an alignment stick. It ensures that my set-up is aligned, so I can eliminate that as a factor when I'm trying to determine what accounts for the results of a shot. BTW Matt, your tip about addressing the driver toward the toe has been a huge help for my tee shot. 👍
as always, love the channel. Can you recommend a sequence of practice for those of us that have access to a simulator? Would you do anything different vs. range session outside. Would be a fun video I think.
No need to apologize for going to a LIV tourney.. Golf Is golf. Who wouldn't in this world go and get paid more money to do their job. Thanks for the vids you put up man, good stuff .
Good video, thank you. I believe the way you practice is based on your experience and skill set. This video is great for those that already make good contact on all swings. For some players, especially higher handicaps, alignment rods can cause problems like tunnel vision and range claustrophobia. Would love to see a lesson simply based on ball first contact. Personally, I put a second ball outside the first so I can use it to determine which side my divot was on for ball I hit.
I’m just wondering how you don’t have a safety net covering that beautifully stained shelving unit to the right. I mean even the pros hit hozzle rockets! I’d have those bottom cupboards dimpled in no time if I had that setup! But seriously..Great vids. Keep it up.
If you don't practice with purpose, you're just wasting your time. If you care about what other people think about you when you are using aids, then you don't care about getting better. I've been practicing like this for years and to Matts point I used to be the only one. As time went on, people started doing the same. Be the person that kills the stigma of trying to get better.
I have a question. i've only been playing for a year and I find that on the range I hit pretty solid shots off the mat, but when I hit the course, I have a habit of thinning shots. any idea what I can do differently to avoid this? also, awesome content!
Hitting off matts is pretty forgiving compared to grass and usually a lot easier to hit off of. When you are on the course, you really have to pay attention to your lie, you can chunk or hit it thin if ball above or below your feet. More than likely it's ball below the feet a bit and your not getting down to the ball
I go intending to work on something, but then something else doesn't work, so I try to fix that first and before I know it, I'm out of golf balls before I worked on the thing I wanted to work on.
Hi what's the soft water or etc that You're using when you swing and thanks that shot it appears on screen through the projection. May I know what it is please.
I used right arm to swing my clubs , if I line up my aliment stick to the target my ball go far left so I used my left shoulder aim to target my ball straight most of the time , it's weird but work for me 😂😂😂
Wish I could practice on grass range lol, I’m guessing like me peeps don’t want to be the only person on range with alignments and camera on stand to record shots. I know that bad 😢
Am I the only one that has his OCD kick in with the alignment sticks? I think I fiddle and fuss with 'em for 10 minutes because I can't tell if they are perfectly parallel... By then, my wife is already calling me asking where the hell I am. 😆

Everyone has a plan until the shooting starts
I plan on going from Central TX to Oklahoma to watch the LIV golf event , competition is good .

This might be the best video you ever made bro, thanks
great tip. thanks
Getting a ball and adding a second alignment stick- thanks!!!!
Thanks Matt. I use alignment rods but the ball idea is definitely one I’m hottie try!!
Can never work enough on weight shift! It is my achilles heal! Love this stuff.

It's only 9 feet to the screen. I've shanked a few and they still hit the screen.
guess I'm going to have to go to Lowes and get some 4 garden stakes to use for alignment sticks then.
Good stuff, Matt. Thanks.
Excellent video on practice. Nice job.

Missed opportunity on one stick, two stick, red stick, blue stick lol
Great! Thanks!!!

Most likely you’re coming out of the shot early

I despise the range! i should practice, but when I did in the past, nothing came of it, even with instructors
Hi what's the soft water or etc that You're using when you swing and thanks that shot it appears on screen through the projection. May I know what it is please.
I use Trackman with a projector and I don't know what soft water means.
What kind of alignment stick is the one that’s black, white and green ??
I used right arm to swing my clubs , if I line up my aliment stick to the target my ball go far left so I used my left shoulder aim to target my ball straight most of the time , it's weird but work for me 😂😂😂
The shoes 🔥

3' 17" Divots go left.
Apologies are unnecessary Matt. Who cares what the golf snobs think, most are just a bunch of hacks anyway. Great tips again.
Was at Dollar Tree today. Had balls (Dodge) for $1.25 but no wrenches.
You know a person is good at golf when they have more alignment sticks in their bag than clubs🤣🤣😅
All of them? No. Koepka does not use alignement sticks.
Liv is great for golf. Ask the PGA about their Saudi money.
Am I the only one that has his OCD kick in with the alignment sticks? I think I fiddle and fuss with 'em for 10 minutes because I can't tell if they are perfectly parallel... By then, my wife is already calling me asking where the hell I am. 😆
And we all know these clowns are not on the range to get better! 😀
