I was 'only' driving the ball 210 yds with driver and it was making me crazy. I was constantly trying everything to add distance and nothing worked. I just kept hooking and slicing more and more and losing balls constantly. Then I just accepted I'm not going to be able to Boom it like other people do and instead focused on keeping it straight and smooth. Low and behold, my drives started creeping up to 240+... Amazing. The last round I played I tried to be as smooth and confidential as I could whilst being mindful of my setup for hitting up on the ball. Result? Only 1 fairway missed and easily 250+ every drive, even hit one 270. Thrilled. And when I finished the round my arms and back felt better than they ever had before. Less is more boyfriends!
Interesting. I've been stuck at about 180-200 for a couple of years. However, I don't seem to have a technique problem, I rarely lose my ball in a direction I don't want it to go. I've tried absolutely everything including going to the gym and it won't increase. Some people are just stuck it seems.

Thx Matty Boom-Boom. I used your “way of the playa” today for the first time for an entire 18 holes and had my lowest scores in months, a 94 on a 137 Slope course with the greens running 13.3 on the stimp. Only one lost ball and just two 3-putts. The ⅓ putting, ⅓ chipping, ⅓ range practice philosophy is paying off. No hero shots, a few lessons, and a track man session this week to learn my real distancia (I was one club off from what I thought I was hitting), all added up to a great round for me. Most importantly, you lowered my expectations of what amateurs can do and I feel totally better about my game and myself. Breaking 90 is around the corner!

Awesome video! Especially the recommendation to watch LPGA. I'm absolutely a fan and learn a lot about golf from LPGA. If you ever look up what's in the bag for an LPGA player, you will recognize their club selection.
AHHHH!!!! I took a driving lesson and this video was exactly what we did! He took a stick and put ut on my left ear and tought me to flick the wrists instead of hittingit like a ironswing. It helped me tremendously!!!
I have a 48 " length driver I use to calibrate my timing. I use it as a training aid. It forces me to slow down and really feel what I am doing. After a few shots, I can get it going the right height, direction and distance. All of your body parts must function together and in order. I switch then to my 3W on a tee. It seems effortless to hit them straight and I get 225 to 235 IF I remain smooth and like you said not trying to act all overly strong and go as fast as I can. The only thought is smooth and easy. At my advanced age, I will live with that distance I am getting. You are SO RIGHT about penalty drives from the tee. Water, sand, out of bounds, woods, all are terrible. I do not carry a driver. It does not reward me in any way. I do hit 5W or 7W a LOT from the tee and that 3W when I can. I have a 16 handicap. Being a short hitter, I do practice mostly on the shorter clubs and putting. Those are my money shots. All of my irons I know my distances with a half shot. That alone is like having twice the number of irons. I spent 28yrs in the Army, infantry. I have trained a lot of soldiers. We have a saying, smooth is fast. We worked on drills with weapons to put them in action smoothly, zero mistakes. Once smooth is achieved, tiny increases in speed will naturally come. Smooth also allows the potential for accuracy (given all the fundamentals of shooting are correct, much like a golf swing). I love your videos. You motivate me to do better with my golf. My war against poor golf can only be won by winning the mental side of said war. (course management, high percentage shots, eliminating lost balls, etc.). THANKS!
I’ve recently refined my swing and am hitting more accurately off the tee. Incidentally, I also hit my longest in play drive ever (measured on the course, not counting driving range) at 318 yards. Being able to strike the ball more accurately will naturally increase distance for the reasons you said.
Finally!!! Someone listed the downsides of gaining distance 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾 I've always said the further you hit it the more chance you have to be 3 off the tee. 2 lost balls off the tee negates all that extra distance.
Great video, and mindset coaching. I’m close to 60 , got the ego out of the way, and decided to play the forward tees, shot an 82, because I played within my ability. Thanks wackadoodeler!! 🤭
Desk jockey here but I also love cycling. I've found that cycling between rounds of golf (especially if you are clipped in to your pedals because you can engage the hamstrings on the up-stroke) is a primo way to stretch out the hamstrings and the quads and the calves. Also flushes out the fatigue build-up in the leg muscles. Just my anecdotal experience FWIW.
Ha! The golf ninja clip at the beginning actually made me laugh out loud! Im training that and whipping it out on the first tee at the Sunday morning skins game!
Getting the angle of attack right has turned my biggest drives into my average.. when i get the smash factor and timing right i am hitting the buggest drives of my life without swinging 'harder'.
I sprained a muscle in my back, not allowing me to swing at even 80%. Shot my lowest round ever 93, only lost one ball off the T, and hit my driver the most consistent and longest distances I ever have lol.
I’m 52 and consistently getting around 240m (about 265 yards) off the tee box with my Ping G driver… I’ve eventually figured out I don’t have to swing it hard and I have to keep my back swing “short”; it’s all in the timing and plenty of confidentialness
When I played regularly I used to avg about 210m with driver, I never overswing. I remember my very rare 280+m drives for two things. They were smooth as cheesy easy peasy swings. Flush out of the middle and exquisitely compressed. A completely different feeling and never been able to recapture it, as I don't know what I did different. The second thing was, I didn't get the birdies
Yea coach matt!!!! Had best stretch of golf of my 38 years of playing golf. From hole 13-18. Birdie , eagle, par par par par. In play off tee. Stay away from trouble. Toe down chipping. Boo fricken Ya!
This guy speaks the truth. It ain't about distance. It's about keeping it in play, and consistency. But we all have egos. Leave your ego at the door, and you'll play better. I'm living proof. Went from shooting in the hundreds to shooting an 83 this year just by working on my short game, and swinging the club at 60-70% power.
Hi im travelling to Thailand early next year and looking to play some golf while over there could you recommend a course for someone that is a newish player with a high handicap love the channel by the way it helped me loads
Tension in the swing is the real killer. Loose muscles transfer power better and lead to better contact. From what I’ve seen people that do speed training tend to train tension into the swing which is the exact opposite of what your goal should be
Just as there are many stars in golf, It's never one swing. It's important to find the swing that suits you. And we train ourselves to do it in a natural way. It's more important to feel than to think a lot.
As Tiger Woods said "Hit the ball as hard as you can, on two conditions: one, make contact with the middle of the club face and two stay balanced throughout the swing".
My driver is my problem. I played the front tees. Hit a 170 yard shot off the tee and shot a 43 after 9 holes. I could shoot a 40 if I cleaned up a few things.
Just broke 90 for the first time after seeing a pro for better technique with the driver (used to be my worst club hitting OB almost every shot). It’s crazy how much I improved. I did the same swaying as you and hit very down on the driver. But with a pro’s help, and with the rest of my game being solid from watching your videos and practicing, I wasn’t even happy about breaking 90. I had 21 putts on the back 9. I am not a playa with that. So now it’s time to Relisten to Dr Rotella 😂 Because now it’s time to break 80!!! Thanks for the videos playa!
Also funny story hit two 300 yard drives for the first time in my life right down the fairway. The first time I shanked a teethed sandwedge pin high off the green and got up and down for par. The second time I chunked my approach, chipped over the green, had a horrible chip on, and then 3 putted. Short game is king still lol
The problem with golf is which of the problems do you solve ? Is it worth spending loads of time on trying to add 20 yards or is better to hit hybrids and 6s into better dispersion rates and try and make your short game champion. It’s the only area where we have the capability to be as good as the pros.
Yep, I have reeeaaaaallllll slow swing speed (top out at 73mph with an 18 degree hybrid), I hope to bring that up to the hi 70s but my only real chance of gaining significant distance is to bump up my smash factor. Which means just somehow getting super-efficient at squaring the clubface at impact and finding the club-ball combo that will maximize ball speed with an acceptable amount of spin for the short game. Easy peasy, yeah? 😅
what's funny, i think i discovered your channel 1y ago. i've taken courses, i train twice a week and play a course 1 a week etc. i became a bit better. i focused on keeping the ball in play.... but because i used to lose a lot of balls i bought a shit ton for a low price (recicled ones). Now i don't lose my bad balls ahahah
I hit the driver so poorly I don't even use it anymore. I'm able to get good shots with my 5 hybrid so that's what I've been using as the tee off club. I've got 2 Drivers, the Calloway that came with my Costco set and a $600 Calloway AI Smoke and both of them are completely useless for me. They're the same distance as the 5 hybrid (or less) and the ball is probably going to the next zip code. I've taken over a dozen lessons and I hate them. The instructors are like "do this, do that, that was perfect, do that again" Me- do what? I know what to do but it seems like my body can't replicate it reliably. The only thing I get from lessons is tired trying to wail on ball after ball.
I’ve got older, I’ve got arthritis, used to hit my driver 240 ish, now I hit my (Mini) driver a very consistent and pretty accurate 180. Handicap has dropped by 3.7 shots ! Go figure !!!! Haven’t lost a ball in 6 rounds, I think for the first time ever I have had to start retiring golf balls 😂
This advice is spot on. I drive around 240 on average. I played with a guy today who hit a couple drives over 300. Was consistently driving over 290. He had 247 on his second shot on a par 5, hit 3 wood to 35 ft. He 3 putted for par(I also made par on that hole.) In the end, I shot 82, he shot 87. Hitting longer is great. I would love to hit it longer. But I would never trade accuracy for distance.
Happens similar where I outdrive someone by 50 yards, I hit it on the green in 2 on the par 5 and they wedge it for their 3rd shot and also birdie. It's all about natural distance and supremo accuracy like a BAUS
I got a guy in my comments saying he's 65 years old and drives it 330 yards. Another was 73 years old and drives it 290 yards. I think these guys wasted their senior years. Could have made millions on the Champions Tour. Obviously distance is everything, noo need to be able to make a score, just knock the cover off it.
It's baffling to me that people brag about wedge distance. I don't hit a "full swing" wedge shot with any wedge. It's always a Pelz type finesse swing.
This is exactly what I needed to see after having a driver fitting yesterday, and being told to swing faster then I normally would and to change my swing to suit the club, not for the club to suit me 🤣
I just found the best driver person in my area and I have hired him to drive for me. Now I am further down the fairway and in play. I am currently searching for the best putter in my area who will putt for me. My scores are dropping.

I got a guy in my comments saying he's 65 years old and drives it 330 yards. Another was 73 years old and drives it 290 yards. I think these guys wasted their senior years. Could have made millions on the Champions Tour. Obviously distance is everything, noo need to be able to make a score, just knock the cover off it.
Wise words.
3 wood for me off the tee is money even on par 5s, based on those stats I can reach the 0 strokes gained needed.
blasted those creators with those scores lol
I’m going to always remember “not dua lipa not dua lipa, just single ladies” 😅😅😅
Control = accurate strikes = distance
It's baffling to me that people brag about wedge distance. I don't hit a "full swing" wedge shot with any wedge. It's always a Pelz type finesse swing.
Is it possible to do a video for women golfers
Love to increase my distance especially when the ground is wet with no rolling!!!
Every video is for women golfers. I dont just roll out of bed looking this fly
His channel promotes good course management. It literally caters to a woman’s game. But men need it too!
Lou Stagnant 😂. Shots fired.
I just don't understand this black socks trend.
Gold gold gold
VKTRY insoles got it. Do I still need to watch the videos with my Red Tiger rangefinder?
Why has it been changed to Track person?! lol
Don't forget to plant birdies out there!
Always be planting
I found a Great Blue Heron feather my last round, hopefully I get a big birdie today.
I saw a Bird's feather at Our very own KPGA in KL, was it planted by you? 🤗
This is exactly what I needed to see after having a driver fitting yesterday, and being told to swing faster then I normally would and to change my swing to suit the club, not for the club to suit me 🤣
WHAT!!!!
Oh man ... I hope you're kidding.
“Swing hard in case you hit it”
Trackman ➡️ Trackperson
😂😂😂
Money!
I just found the best driver person in my area and I have hired him to drive for me. Now I am further down the fairway and in play. I am currently searching for the best putter in my area who will putt for me. My scores are dropping.
You have to make a video for the above 55 years old now, since we are clearly the majority of your wievers!
Not only penalty shots but mishits cost you dearly.
I ain’t Rory Mcilroy and neither are you 😂😂😂😂😂
Rory says he hits his driver with +4-5 AOA

Playahhhh!
LOL. Beyonce Yes, Dual Lipa No. That is easy to remember
Buy the insoles. "Trust the Science."
Let the big dog eat.
Track person 😂😂😂
The ending reminded me of George Bush hahah
Lou Stagnant 😆
😂
Are you south african?
i like his vidoes but I wish he'd leave out the socks nonsense!
Wait until you hear him about the tiger range finder. Not the elephant range finder, not the hippo range finder, but the tiger range finder. 😂🥳

I literally gained almost 50 yards when I stopped trying to kill the ball. Nice smooth swings is all I do now.
