I took time away from playing to work on the things I am supposed to work on. I get frustrated when I don't practice and then I don't enjoy the golf on the course. I am always trying to find the thing I was supposed to find in the range sessions that I never went to. I did a good number of consecutive days and this is my learning experience with constant feedback from a professional coach.
I appreciate how concise your videos are, Baus. No BS, just solid information/golfing. By far my favorite content on RUclips!
I watch Malaska, Gankas and the Golf Zen Mechanic on RUclips and they all sound different in the way they teach the swing, but as you get into it you realize they are all saying pretty much the same thing...which is good. What I'm learning is that the more I focus on my feet, moving from pressure on my right heel to the outside of my left foot, the less I try to dominate the swing with my arms and hands. A big part of that is straightening the left leg as I come into the ball. WIP. Golf the never-ending journey. Enjoy all your vids btw. Keep'em coming.
thats crazy you mentioned Gankas, I watched his video with barstool and for whatever reason his method all the sudden clicked for me. Basically the same exact overall method, just slightly different ways to explain it, focuses, etc.
Well said, they are way more similar than they would initially appear. I don’t watch much Malaska, but Gankas and Marcus are brilliant.
@@AjaxNixon Yeah, the Riggs' Swing Lesson with George was awesome. Gave him an impact drill at the end there. He's got a lot to work on.
The word swing is on my banned word list because people can't help themselves but to comment on a swing! Your swing is so good now matt
I love when you post these types of video
I love Eric, the way he explains and thinks.
Glad you are taking some time for yourself. You deserve it!! You tell us to enjoy the game. You should too!! Thanks for making your videos, they are very entertaining but not at the cost of your enjoyment of this awesome game we call golf.
Playa in Chief, I have the exact same swing issues! I am committing to working through these concepts and drills to correct my own swing. Thank you for the inspiration!
BTW, I can see the massive improvement in your centering and snapping your left knee straight! Well done!🙌🏽
This drill is brilliant, I try to do this every day. Matt, your swing is like a pro, your distance and accuracy gain a lot. I saw it on your Instagram hitting P-wedge 175 and increase your driving distance up to 320, well done Matt.
Hi Matt - your swing looks better than ever . 6 months ago i discovered your channel and finally after 3 lessons and paying attention to your system - I broke 100 today for the first time in 5 years ! - i shot 93 and it could have been better - thankyou so much for your great guidance to achieve this milestone - next step breaking 90 !!!!
One of the best learning tools I've ever watched .. thank you Matt luv ya work keep it up .cheers
Incredible! You're a good learner mate and Eric is an amazing teacher! I relate with your swing issues and gain so much value from this vid. Thank you.
Golf Zen Mechanic the video he did on 2/24/2021..the drill he worked on with using the right hand to push the club down was a game changer for me. Now I can finally feel the ground...use my feet and legs...awesome video.
Awesome Matt! I was a severe over the top flip of the hands player. With a lot of the same lessons as you over the last 2 years I’ve gone from an 18 handicap to a 5 handicap. But that move you talk about holding the club longer is something I’ve been working on with my new inside out swing to prevent the flip action as well. It’s hard but man does it work!! Thanks for all the content and time you take on these
I’m a new viewer. Great videos. Great production, great communication.
Super enjoy ur analysis and ur commitment.
Ur a mortal explaining the intricate simplicity of our golf Gods math.
I am really glad I found your channel me and you have the same issues ! Your teacher is spot on I wish he was not so far! I will try to work on what you are working on. Another thing I know you got like 5 million things in your head but this works! I am 51 and beginning to understand the golf swing so much more its crazy.One day I was practicing with my wedge and heard the sound and my diviot was a lot different I was hitting my 56 degree like 50 to 60 percent I was only focusing on making the head of the wedge come straight down into the ground and I started to hit ball then divot.It is amazing cause you think you will hurt your self but you wont gotta trust it and once that club hits the ground you will know your swinging correct !That thing with the hip where he just pulls your pocket made a such a big difference I will get me one of those hitting bags also Thanks for the videos !
I haven't worked on the range yet (weather is just warming up here in Canada) but I decided to really concentrate on the swaying your coach talked about this past weekend because 2 weeks ago I was pushing my irons slighly right most of the day which I attributed to being ahead of the ball in my swing and not giving the face time to close.
This past Saturday, I made my only swing thought "Do not sway, keep head still" and it definitely resulted in some very solid contact all day long! It changed my miss from pushing right to a slight pull left (which is to be expected). So my next round or range session, I will work on the same swing thought and make adjustments to ball position to correct the slight pull.
Keep up the great content!
I went through the same swing change you are working on now. Well worth it!
Great video as I like to see people processing the lesson. And being the sick basted that I am, I like to see people actually grind it out & how they do it i.e.doing the drill every other ball for 3 trays. The actual steps being shown is awesome. Thanks!
So I had a lesson a few days ago and found out my lead arm wasn't stiff/straight but my trail arm was. As a result I developed a coping mechanism to get to and through the ball, I dipped my lead shoulder way down and swayed well in front of the ball. I did get a decent squat motion out of it, but my ballstriking was very inconsistent.
Thank you for posting this video. I'm going to use this drill, as well as continuing to practice on the range and hopefully my swing will round into shape before golf season gets here.
I fight this same issue. I discovered a drill somewhere online where you hold an alignment stick against your grip in your left hand. If you flip, you smack yourself with the alignment stick. It really does help teaching you to keep that left wrist firm through impact albeit a bit painful at times :)
This certainly explains the frame I saw in the previous vid. :)
This was a SUPER interesting video, baus. The thing that really resonated with me, was the first 6-7 holes at the course, I'm TRYING to do ALL the things.
But the drill was clearly working for you.
I need to get to the range/practice facility.
Love this
Delicious work! Can taste the progress, baby!
That’s now looking like a pro swing....silky smooth. Well done, you.
Finding your way is the best. We are all different. Your Zen is the best Zen.
Interesting video, I've suffered from the same issues as you and have been working on keeping my head and spine angle in a similar position to setup until impact, hitting 50 balls every day rather than alot not often helps, as does doing as much strength and conditioning as you can fit in a day. I've enjoyed many of your videos and just wanted to say thanks.
Great lesson! I recently purchased the DST Compressor training club that helps you get in the proper position at impact. This video will help me with swaying and straightening my right knee. Thanks!
I thought you were perfect before. Now you are unbelievable
I've been working out a reverse pivot as well recently, found thinking about keeping the tilt of my upper body the same throughout the swing was more helpful than thinking about staying behind the ball.
Just came to give a like..doubt I’ll watch the whole thing, course vlogs is where it’s at, but the like is necessary
Nooo! Felt like it ended prematurely. I want more!
I too have spent the last COVID year learning what release really is and trying to get rid of the weak flip. Coincidentally I’m working on the same thing as you, straightening the left leg and extending my arms through to kill the flip. It’s a killer. So hard!!
I was working on something similar...on my left hip (right handed golfer)...I stood up a pool noodle over an alignment stick...and I try not to hit it with my hip...stops my slide forward...can do the opposite for the right hip to stop rocking back! Best of luck playa, looking good!
Liked the vid after pausing to read the disclaimer. I dig it.
I've spent the last year losing my flip and early extension. Hardest thing I've ever had to do but well worth it in the end. No more pull hooks and big blocks 😁 Good luck with your journey!
The flip is frankly impossible for me man. I’m trying hard but it’s gonna take easily a year or more i reckon. Well done playa
@@GolfSidekick I still feel the bruises on my left side every time I see a tour rotation stick. You're younger and more talented than I was so you can definitely do this. 🤣🤣🤣
Great video. You have made a massive change. Keep it up
The swing is looking good! Be careful though, I went through the same phase hitting 100+ balls a day and after a week got a ganglion cyst inside my left knee between ACL and PCL (I think because of all the repetitive twisting). Surgery has removed the cyst, but I can't play golf anymore because I get real bad tendonitis pain in the knee (actually I've tried taking up left handed golf - it's damn hard :D)
Great video! Awesome disclaimer!
Thank you and thank you for being a baus
You’re lucky to be using Eric unfortunately not all pros understand how to teach impact/ strike , I’ve learnt a lot from watching your lessons after having wasted £’s on lessons ! Waddateachah!
😱 Don't scratch the floor Eric!!... unless it's not yours chief. Golf courses to open here UK 29th March playa...can't wait. Besides a round of pitch n putt on New Years, It'll be almost 6 months since I swung a club. Maybe be rocking some new Waddaplaya head-covers by then too! Will get a few lessons this year too if allowed... no goals, just want to enjoy having golf back again!
Way to focus Playa! Stay in the Zen mode. Thanks for sharing
This is great, I was having the sway forward issue leading to chicken wing
Nice playa - getting ahead of the ball with the head is debilitating. Keep going
Great video love these as much as the course vlogs!!
Great progress, your swing looks very solid!
Great video. My swing issues are very similar to yours so I can relate. Not easy. By the way... the tray has 40 balls....8 rows of 5 balls.
Nice work so far Matt. I'll be doing this drill as soon as the courses open again here in the UK on March 26th...ish
I had same problem moving too far towards target causing steep angle of attack, quite often chunking shots. Good luck !
ah ah I recogniez Eric cool approach on this video and i have the other problem, my knee extend too quicly and i 'm driving in my shoes
I love this format and thank's so much to have give me the need to take lessons from this teacher , buy a cage net a sc200 and deddicace this year to play under my lost 15 hdcp
Yesterday i was able to apply Eric's recommandation on shot less than 100 yards : compression, pleasure !
Crazy how you went from 90s to 70s with as little practice as you do. Show us the way! Hahaha. Love your videos man; I like these ones at the range.
Nice video! Where are you hitting balls at, it's always so pretty where your at?
gonna go try this tmr.
thanks for the vid, Baus
Just watched this after the NASA Perseverance landing video. Both felt the same.
great video sir... rooting out the deep issues of the dreaded over the top move that causes us poor golfers so much suffering :p
Bam! Impact! boom! Impact.. and PAIN! Lol cheers from Canada ☺️
Great lesson, thx! Exactly what I need as well!
haha its funny... I said in one video you should keep your left eye behind the ball through contact that thinking... and I Cant believe you actually responded... i think it was the video you said FIX MY SWING TITLE.... and like the head moving forward was my biggest problem till i though of that... but anyways you said yeah you where doing it in a jack nickalaus method i think.... anyways it was dope and this first part of the video reminded me of it...
its funny another revolution to me.. not telling you how about you... but for me... the biggest misconception is KEEP YOUR HEAD DOWN... complete wrong terminology... when you tell people that cause them to dip there head and hit it fat or pre flick there wrist and skull it..... the CORRECT terminology is DO NOT TURN YOUR HEAD TILL AFTER CONTACT... you want to keep your head up and as level as possible through the entire swing... but you want to make sure you dont turn your head... keeping left high behind the ball through contact until your a quater of the way through your follow through.
THAT DRAG TECHNIQUE IS SIMILAR OR THE SAME SWING I SEE IN TXG YOU TUBE REVIEWS WITH THE SWING THAT THE GUY MAKES THERE WITH ALL HIS CLUBS. INCLUDING DRIVER, IT'S LIKE HE EXTENDS HIS ARM AND CLUB WAY BACK BEHIND HIM AND I HAVE NOTICED A BIG IMPROVEMENT IN MY GAME NOW, ALONG WITH KEEPING MY HANDS LINED UP WITH MY INNER LEFT THIGH OR LEAD LEG FOR ALL MY IRONS
I wish I could remember who had this similar drill and they referred to it as "lighting a match". Dragging then extending like your club is a match.
Clay Ballard at Top Speed Golf has video that exaggerates the club head drag.
@@chaskpc I remembered last night as I was going to bed. Danny Maude has a video on it. ruclips.net/video/O6m2RCZ5vvA/видео.html
Danny Maude I think
Nice work Playa
Hi Baus Matt, it seems you have the exact same swing faults as me and you’re trying to shallow the club and keep the face open for longer. Did you play cricket too as a youngster? Keep up the good work!
Matt, I was wondering if you've tried Pilates or yoga to maintain or gain flexibility and strength for golf? If you have would you recommend it for a golfer rapidly approaching the half century mark?
Both of those are invaluable to anyone of any age. I've been doing yoga/pilates 1-2 times a week for the last 6 months and have gained 3-4 mph club speed and reduced my back/shoulder pain. I'm 32.
@@kevincompaney1503 thanks for the input. I think I'll give it a try.
@@brascal13 I’d second Kevin’s comment, and I’m 43. Yoga 3-4 times per week for going on four months now, and I’ve gained speed and have significantly less back pain.
2 dollars for 100 balls? That's cheap as hell I would practice everyday lol.
do people really feel compelled to offer comments on swing mechanics; especially when you share the coaching? Anyways, good luck with the swing change! You have already improved incredibly from a fake four to a true two
Yes. Countless. Lol i am actually a 15 handicapper if anyone asks at the course. Off the course I am scratch when at dinner. After w couple beers, i am +3
@@GolfSidekick You need to take swing lessons from Didi to pull off the 15 handicap roos. Walking on the course with the two of you is like swaggering into a pool hall in the Philippines and finding an unassuming boomer named Efren playing for brewskies.
This one time, at band camp...
Jets are cooled... till March my teacher gave me the same drill for my pull and hooks
Love it... What a diffence👏👏
Keep up the good work!
Bart Simpson: "Get less bent!" Keep up the good work and hope this helps with your back issues.
I just started back up after 4 years, I find I cannot keep from pulling my left (front) leg out. So I must be pulling my head out too. Back swing looks good, but I am off balance from ball contact on.
Ooh, this is me - but getting to the range once is hard enough, let alone 4 days in a row! Man!
Love seeing this
Great content.
I know Eric is a baus, but to avoid flicking the wrist...keep the hips level, with the knees lightly flexed. Turn from the shoulders , extending the right arm, with maximum extention in front of the sternum. Ensuring a light grip, strong enough to hold a bird without crushing it, then start the counter move, beginning to bend the elbow bringing the wrist back towards the chest..Make sure the left side is still firm, supporting the right, not collapsing against it. Bring the hands level with your mouth to a balanced finish. Practice this six times a day for a month, and you should never spill a pint again.
Party on Playa.
Sorry bro that made no sense and again the main reason I discourage taking or giving advice
I have no idea what you just said
Biggest difference between amateur and pro golfers...a lot of amateurs try to hit the ball, pro's swing their club and the ball gets in the way (try to hit there swing). As for tight muscles try to get a massage regularly.....it helps.
i live in Thailand - you know thats happening regularly playa! Waddalife waddarubdown
@@GolfSidekick sorry, should of put....remedial massage. Not happy massage. 😁
Love your videos Matt..do you have any from Red Mountain , Loch Palm from Phuket
Red Mountain coming
@@GolfSidekick great cant wait to play there when I'm able to fly again
How have you found the online/video lessons? I'm stuck inside (Canada still pretty locked down) and am apprehensive of video lessons vs in person (never done proper lessons before)
That upper glute on my back hip is my trouble spot too. How are you working on loosening and strengthening that part of your body? It's my only pain from golf, and it drives me crazy.
Rolling a big rubber ball on it like a baseball size ball. And a hard foam roller. And those exercises on the machines in the gym. Where you open and close your legs. The ‘chick’ machine. Best exercise ever wish i had never bought into the chick machine nonsense
That upper glute, right b*stard, gets me every round and range session.
Nice price on those balls. Over 10 cents each in the US.
Perfecto playa
How am I supposed to cool my jets when the WoTP is so hot right now?!
a dollar a tray? do they serve som tam and heineken? If so, i probably move tomorrow....
You da man!!!
If you with Chong you can't go wrong!!
Jets are cool playa. Practice away like a baus
Go Ninja Go Ninja
I 💕 U
Chicken wing completely gone at the end there....not sure where the ball went though (which may be important when playing golf I guess).
👍🏽
Matt...I’m a big fan but dude, but you gotta stop putting yourself through these kinda painful lessons...just watch Marcus at Zen Golf mechanic and embrace the only way to truly change and swing properly...you’ll get where you wanna be so much faster.
Marcus has to be in the top ten golf instructors on the planet. No mechanics or positions crap.
The way Marcus has you start the downswing it is almost impossible to FLIP the club. Trying to consciously hold the club face open through impact is a losing battle no matter how many drills you do. Especially under pressure in a match.
You are going to be dangerous. Your swing is getting as sharp as your putting!
F’ing money
Great golf channel but Don't be bringing the golfers down the rabbit holel of focusing on the Mechanics of the golf swing fixing different parts of the swing will only make it worse..... if you want to get out of the rabbit hole I would advise you to check out "zen golf mechanics" channel he takes a different approach to learning golf and it's a breath of fresh air BUT if you want to enjoy watching golf videos definitely stick around and subscribe to this channel
Just the process of what happened when i focused on the swing instead of the ball in the hole
