Best simple golf swing explanation I have seen. Matt’s not trying to sound intelligent like most others, just simple instruction that cuts through all the ‘intelligent’ crap that everyone can utilise. Intelligence through simplicity. Awesome stuff mate !!!!
10:47 was a eureka moment. That slight tilt changed everything for me. Thank you so much. I really mean that. Thank you.
Eureka moment for me too! Everyone talks about spine tilt with a driver, but no one says how much. This looks like it should me in the perfect spine tilt. Can't wait to apply it on the range.
No one has ever explained it to me like this. It makes so much more sense!
Wait till you go out and try to hit like this guy. It might work one or two balls then you'll be back to normal.
best golf swing video I have seen. I play occasionally until November of last year when I retired. I began playing and was shooting 75-80 but was hurting my hip. My driver and iron swing were different. Discovered Mr.Short Game and the video made sense. Also the wrist action with starting the downswing stopped my hip front hurting. Just played my first competition with swing adjustments and shot 76 with a 36 on the back. The swing works even at show speeds which allows a good solid drive of about 225 and you can crank it up from there. Thanks Mr Short game.
Same swing different setup!! Helps so much. Contact almost every time! Thanks!
This may have been the best golf video I have watched explaining it this way. Less thoughts, same feels= More consistent shots. This will help me relax and just trust my swing more. Thank you!
This changed my golf swing. I’m hitting the ball so far and straight, granted i’m still working out the kink but I went out yesterday and i had 115 in and that’s usually just a stock pitching wedge maybe flighted but i hit it and it carried the green and kicked off the back. That just shows the difference this guy has made in my game. I attribute 90% of my improvement to this guy. Keep teaching man, i couldn’t thank you for everything you’ve helped me with ❤️
One of your best vids. A great explanation of how to do it correctly. Thank you once more
I can't wait to try this! It makes a lot of sense. I think I found the guy that communicates the way I learn.
Dude! Thank you...
I watched this last night, played a round today and hit my driver better and more consistently than ever!
“Same swing thought as my irons”... was my last thought before I swung. Worked like a charm.
I really appreciate the simple golf tips. Keep on simplifying brother!!
I’ve watched so many tutorials that my game went from 70-80s to 90-100s
So right. I had the same problems
Big thing is to watch one person. The problem you run into is one guy might be a stack and tilt swing and the next guy something totally different. You end up combing things from different instructors and wind up with a mess. Speaking from experience here but mr short game is a good one to watch if you're not seeing a pro in person. Hope this helps
@@thomastrain7311 big thing is to hit 50000 balls...
This is the most relatable comment I’ve ever seen. One video says not to break the hips the next says to turn all the way. One says keep it short the other says step back 😂
@@MagicMan20 yes you are right. That's why I was saying that if you can find one person to learn from you are better off. Different methods mishmashed together is a recipe for disaster. Especially if you hit 5000 balls doing that. I'd just take 2 weeks off and then quit
As someone whose been striking their irons great, but struggling with Driver, this was the exact video I needed to fix myself.
Same
I love how Matt provides instructions that are easy to follow and makes logical sense. I have watched many golf videos for several different instructors and Matt always seems to have a better grasp of the golf swing. Thank you your videos are great.
I've been playing on and off for my lifetime and this guy has resolved my doubts and uncertainty about set up. Made it simple simple simple. Good work legend. 👍
"And then, when we get to driver things are going to be a little bit...... the same." WHEW! What a relief.
update: The set up was pure gold for me. Hit my irons well... more of a push for me so Ill set up little left ... but man o man my driver was incredible. My playing partner said he has never seen me stripe the driver as well and straight all summer (bad pull hooks all summer). I had no swings thoughts ... just set up and swing. Thanks again for the lesson Matt !!
Great simplification! Thank you! I've always been told driver hands forward, tilt, hit up etc an have developed a wicked hook... an then down with irons I'm pushing right... but this makes it all make complete sense as to why! Heading down the range tonight to put this in to practice!
Brother, I have played a long time and never figured out the driver. Listening to your set up explanation, in particular how to lean back not just to lean back. Holy crap! Game changer. I found the Mia video last night and just hit the range this morning before work… 75+% straight or draw biased drives! You’ve changed my game thank you.
I discovered this channel about 2 months ago.
I'm playing the best golf of my life now, i've made changes to my game that i didnt know were so off from watching this channel. Over the last weekend i over heard some of the guys i was playing with and had just met talking about how good i was and was asking my father in law about my golf background.
Best feeling ever! all credit to MR Short Game!
First you sorted out my chipping, I now look forward to it. ✅ After watching this video I can go away and declutter my brain, no need to overthink things with different clubs and hopefully get my handicap down! Thanks Matt keep em coming.
Great Video Matt, this one of your best lesson videos. Agree with your "Taco vs. Burrito" concept, same swing just different ball position. Figuring out the ball position and setup is key. Hitting up on the ball is something I'll start thinking about more, usually when I have a high finish I seem to make great contact.
I watched this a year ago where at 47 my handicap was 12. Since applying this very basic idea at 48 my handicap is now 3. Plus, I’ve been playing for well over 30. The best advice and I have been paying it forward ever since. 👍😎🇦🇺
This is as good as it gets. Great job Matt, extremely informative and very easy to understand. 👍🏼💯
Love the simplicity Matt. I’ll have to wait a few more weeks of recovery before I can try but love the thoughts
1st vid I have seen where the person in the video didn't complicate things even more, good stuff
This really helps. I’ve just started playing golf and this is one of the best videos I’ve come across. Basic enough for me to grasp and simple enough to implement. Thanks
Listen to dozens of golf teachers online. They are really good too. I love Matt's personality. So nice. Seems like a guy you could hang with, have a beer and laugh watching golf movies. So much positive mojo. Good instructions too. Matt, keep up the good work.
This has got to be one of the best vids you've done. So much of the game is mental so thank you for addressing that aspect. You can work on mechanics all you want, but if your mind isn't right it's all for nothing.
Great video!!! My big problem is I have to have my hands forward on my irons to even hit the ball. If I have my hands middle it's a catastrophe!!!
Glad I found this guy.. Good ole common sense fundamentals...
Gotta keep it simple for the working man that can't live on a golf course...👍
I'm a newbie, my buddy suggested this guy, personally, I like the way he explains, makes it easier for me
Thank you, thank you, thank you! I was having nightmares getting off the Tee a year. This video has fixed the problem. Lining up the ball with my right ear (lefties) is the answer! Now my one swing works through the bag!
Been thinking about taking my driver out of the bag because of how frustrating it is that I can't hit it the way I do every other club in my bag. I can carry my 3 wood off the tee well over 200 yards, dead straight. I can carry my driving iron off the tee around 180-200 yards, dead straight. Everything all the way down to my 58-degree lob wedge flies straight and carries well above average. Every swing I take with my driver? Sliced or topped. I've been looking for a way to adapt my normal swing to the driver and will definitely try these tips as we have pretty much the exact same setup routine as far as gripping the club and lining the ball up in the stance. Where I differ is that I've been lining up the ball off the inside of my lead foot. Also have tried the shoulder tilt but I don't set it up the way you recommend. Can't wait to try this on the range as the only other thing I can think of the try is choking down to give me somewhere between driver and 3-wood length to work with.
This was actually very eye opening for a fundamental mistake that I did not even realize I was doing. Body tilting without hands forward with the driver seems so simple but I have not seen that anywhere else in instructional videos... Thank you, earned my sub.
Thought I’d add an update. I started using these tips for lining up, along with bending my front knee more on my backswing, and my driver swing has flourished! Gotta get used to it with my irons now, but my driver and wedges are great now. Thank you for the tips!
I know this is an old vid but I wanted to say thank you. I enjoy all of your vids and I have picked up several great tips but this vid was a game changer. I haven’t hit my driver in almost 10 years forcing me to use 3 wood all day. After watching this vid and making one simple change I’m blistering my driver right down the fairway. THANK YOU!
Thank you for this video. I golfed today and did your setup and I have not ever driven the ball as straight as I did today. I almost quit for the season last week but had my best round in 2 years today using your setup advice. Thank you!!!!
I have been doing this at the range all week. It helped my iron game 100% super happy. I for the life of me can't do the driver the way you teach. I must be missing some tiny detail. No matter how I set up the club face for the driver, as soon as I do the step step it closes my club face. No matter the spine tilt, and no matter if I try to open the face before the step step, I do nothing but draw. I step by step this video at least 30 times and for the life of me I can't figure out your driver method. My irons are on point now, but not the driver at all. I hope you read this and some how get back to me. I really want to have the same swing mechanic for all my clubs.
Man.. I followed your driver drill and I am now able to hit the ball comfortably. Appreciate it.
Love the way you explained that. I see right away what I've been doing wrong. Thanks again.
I happen to catch this video yesterday before I went to play. I really don't have a method for setting up. I simply "set up" and frankly I'm inconsistent. The 2 set up methods (irons and driver) you showed, (feet together, left hand right hand steps) was unbelievably effective! I was SHOCKED how well this worked. The course I played was a "miss fairway = lost ball". I didn't lose a ball all day! I normally lose 2 or 3 a round. By keeping the ball in play off the tee and hitting more greens = 5 birdies for the day. Thank you!!!
I have found my driver swing but lost my iron swing. This video seem like it will bring back my swings again. Simple and easy to follow. Thanks for this video.
Matt, you are the best coach I could have. You simplify everything and my game is improving because of watching your videos. Really appreciate what you do!!!
Putting? Please
Thank you. I started golfing again 8 years ago after a 40 year break. No one has explained the swing better. Thank you!
I heard that any interaction in a video helps the RUclips algorithm. This is a thank you. I have been struggling with consistency in my irons and knew it was my setup. I just shot the best 9 holes ever after watching this yesterday.
Very good. I like that he doesn't get into the weeds. I thought his down-home conversational tone was going to turn me off, but it worked very well. His idea has been percolating in my head now for weeks. Thanks lots, man.
Great tip for set up. I have struggled for 12 months with all sorts of suggestions from a pro re activating hips, hands forward etc. I had started to blame the club (a sure sign of desperation) . I did this yesterday, worked like a dream. Straight, long, less spin, fewer hooks. Higher ball, maybe a little less distance on the real rippers but so much more consistent and generally on average longer. (10 -15 hcp for ref).
This is EXACTLY what I need. I've been using different swings for irons and driver. Thank you!!
Thank you so much for the tips. I have to admit, english is not my first language and I can understand every word you say. Those practical advise will be very usefull to me. You have a particular way to explain things that it get in my mind easily. Thank you !!
Great explanation to take away ball focus too many people have - finish high - thanks Matt
Mr. Short Game, this is the best driver setup tip I ever got. I watched this video yesterday then when and hit some drives on my simulator and almost all fairways and decent distance! Keep rocking my man your videos are awesome and a huge help!
I've never thought of a golf swing as Mexican food. Genius about swinging up after the swing. Keeps you accelerating through the ball. If I ever make it back the Atlanta I owe you a round of golf for all your great instruction.
The advice on setup in this video is amazing! I've been struggling with inconsistencies in my swing and my ball flights, and I suspected my setup and swing technique. I'd already had some lessons but was going to wait until next season to refresh them since I live in New England and golf season is almost over. I had a pretty rough outing this past Thursday, which was probably going to be my last round of the year. Watched this video Friday at lunch, and then practiced the setup advice from this video at the range and I was consistently making good contact with the ball and crushing it. Decided to go out for 9 holes on Saturday and after a rough first hole I stuck with it and things were finally clicking. I shot my 3rd best score on 9 for the entire year. Definitely going to be using this setup technique going forward!
This comment is a great embodiment of how much of a mindfuck the game of golf is
Matt, on the irons you never talked about ball position with your irons. Does the ball remain in the middle of your stance for all irons? I really like the Driver setup and will work on that on the range today. What about about your fairway metals and hybrids. I try to keep my fairway clubs the same as my irons just move the ball about 1d 1/2 to 2 balls forward from center. Please let me know about ball position with 4 iron to pitching wedges. Regards, Dave.
Matt!! Took these tips to the range today and was striping it with all my clubs. Thank you!
I usually shy away from watching any vid more than 10 minutes long, but I'm glad i watched this...such a simple concept, and extremely well taught - thank you, bro
Love your approach... Humor... Delivery! Fun!
Love that driver setup, giving the correct tilt for the upswing with the driver.
Great one. I am doing All the wrong stuff with driver. Having a lesson with My coach thursday, but will try this setup.
Thank you Thank you !!! This one singular video has made an immense change to my setup and swing with immediate results and has me back to breaking 80.
Thank god you said the swing is exactly the same. I didn’t want to unsubscribe. Too much miss information out there causing people to quit golfing. It’s not that hard. I watched 1 video last year that changed my handicap from 37 to 12. I won’t mention it here but you teach the same things the other tuber teachers. I hope I can continue to get better with your tips! Brian
The setup instructions in this video really helped straighten my shots. If done correctly, everything said works like a charm. Thanks!
Set Up, Set Up Set Up!! Love the feet together in the middle. This alone will keep me from pressing my hands forward. Thanks Great Video.
Love the Zen moments at the beginning! Thank you for your humor as well!
The driver setup helps SO MUCH. Set up straight and tilt to move head towards ball. ABSOLUTELY changed my driver!
I LOVE IT.... I hit my irons very decent, but drives always pull to the right, Can't wait to give this a try.
Bro fixed my driver swing in 15 minutes. Thank you Mr Short Game!!
Thank you this simplified driver and iron setup and contact thoughts. I have been struggling with the driver setup and swing thru. Thank you!
I very much like the explanation of the shoulder tilt vs the hands forward with the driver. I tend to make that exact mistake. Thank you.
Your videos had helped me a lot with my swing, it's incredible how much you can learn and improve with this tutorials...Thanks a lot !!!
One of the best, if not the better advice I've received. Thanks so much, Matt. All the best.
I love this. Ive only been playing for 1 month and my PGA pro coach has taught me exactly what youve just shown. The grip, the setup drill, the swing ideas. Great lesson!
As someone who has struggled with a horrendous driver slice, to the point where I would carry it for 18 holes and shy away from using it on any hole, opting for a 3 wood I can control and predict... this video has been the single greatest "Golf Lesson" for me so far. Controlling my stance location and applying shoulder tilt has let me hit my first ever intentional draw shot shapes. Still not completely confident or reliable but I atleast know what to practice on. Massive Thank You for this video!!
Excellent explanation. Have always struggled with driver until I watched a video that talked about setting up to the ball as you did here. I love the idea of having a simple setup and a single swing thought.
This is the best simple instructional swing video I've seen. Keep up the good work. By the way, we could use that rain right now here in ATL. These temps are as high as my scorecard. 90+.
Took this to the range & then the course.The ball actually was going where i wanted.No more moving ball position for every club.Also realized i was reaching with the club.
Don't care for swing tips on the internet but you really nailed this one.
Watched this video last night and played today massive difference I had to many swing thoughts this helped alot thanks.
I just tried this yesterday and all my shots went straight. I had issues with that before. I didn’t even have to do any practice swings like I used to do. Thank you so much for this video!
I'll be honest... at 1st I was watching this (1sr video I've seen from you) and I thought it was slightly annoying. Then I watched on hoping I could pick up some tips along the way and I am glad I did. Everything you have said makes complete sense! I have so many people down my ear telling me all sorts that I don't even have my own swing anymore I just have 50 others peoples swing combined in my head! I am really looking forward to testing this out properly and will continue to watch more of your videos! I've subscribed and apologise for thinking you was annoying 🙄🤣
I wish I had met someone like Matt when I first became interested in playing golf years ago, someone who explains all the basic concepts of a golf swing in the simplest terms possible and tries to help keep things simple overall.
The first golf instructor I worked with tried to explain all the different parts of the golf swing to from the start, which made me over think every little thing in my swing as a beginner and I never could gain any consistency no matter how much I practiced. Now I have to continually unlearn all those bad habits and just remember to SIMPLIFY!
My driver has been all over the place the past month. I took this videos tips on driver stance/positioning to the course yesterday and I hit long, straight drives with great trajectory hole after hole. Even used a neutral grip (usually strong grip on driver) and had no fade at all.
Great stuff here on this video!
Matt, great video. I had a coach that was telling me I hit down on the ball and I could not do it. Every time I thought about hitting down on the ball shanked it. I still have the wrong attack angle on irons but I’ve learned to live with it.
My pro who I have lessons with told me exactly the same thing. The swing with all clubs are the same. The problems come in once you get your head in front of the ball trying to hit down. Good video.👍🏼
You just called out everything I've been doing wrong to a T .. thank you for this tip!!!
Instructors should always explain like this that you never actively think 'hit down on the ball'. Nothing good can come from thinking that while you hit an iron.
you should have been here for hurricane Michael 2 years ago. Man, I live in central Georgia and that thing was still a cat 1.5 when it hit us. I have never been in straight line winds anywhere near like those were. It was insane. I had to just sit out on my screened in porch and smoke my pipe while I watched the show. I was also listening for the giant pine trees right beside my house to start cracking and getting ready to fall. Thank goodness they didn't because they were blowing directly toward my house with my kids inside sleeping. We never get hit with anything that strong and massive here, so it did an immense amount of damage and knocked out the power for nearly our whole town for 3 to 4 days. It was wild and humbling to see how helpless you truly are against the forces of nature. Love your videos Matt.
Best explanation I've heard in ages Keep It Simple 👍
That disciplined setup is the key 🔑 coupled with hitting up after the ball. I do like how the driver after setup is more behind the ball and then the club face being moved behind the ball gives the correct tilt. Very good ! I do like this simple explanation. I shall indeed practice this.
This is the best explanation of the driver setup I've ever heard
I do like this about not hitting down on the ball ! As you stated to will tend to chop down on the ball and then pull or slice the ball.
Same swing...one swing thought. I appreciate the setup routines. That will give me all the confidence to b consistent.
Glad I found a non-British golf youtuber. Subbed 👍
Stick to Golf Ombre you dooont knooow nuting about Taco or a Burro sonso
Facts !! Helped a lot
Clay Ballard is great too.
Best explanation I’ve seen so far, thanks.
Super helpful. I will incorporate this setup into my setup. Thanks.
Great Video!!! I also started to get confused with this hit up and hit down story and pushing your hands forward! I am playing golf for 31 years and my swing just got worse ! In the past I never ever new there was a difference between an Iron and Driver swing only the set up! Thank you for sharing your wonderful golf tips!! Enjoy the rain! 🥰⛳️🏌️♀️
The standing feet together really helped with my alignment. Went out and played today and was working on ball shapes. They weren’t all great but it was fun trying to shape shots out there. Thank you for the great vid✌️
The setup for the driver was super helpful. I used to tilt my spine and bring my hands forward. I would hit the ground all the time, but I’m hitting a lot better now. Great stuff.
Great vid! However, I always “de-loft” “preset wrist angles” “hands forward” whatever you want to call it, in my setup, and I don’t have any issues. I’m actually playing some of the best golf of my life and hitting it further than I ever have before. If it gets off line, it’s usually fixed with a slight grip adjustment... like maybe I was gripping it too strong if it goes left and too weak if it goes right.
The song may say "It never rains in Southern California" but it does in the South. We took the eye and to our East, Pensacola, took a beating too. Thanks for the video Matt.
I can't wait to try this out I always push my hand forward and try to hit the ball down with my irons, and invariably do the same with my driver, so this change of thought should suit me down to the ground, Thanks mate
Intro is hilarious
Love your content Matt, definitely the some of the best teaching tips on RUclips
Best golf video lesson of all time.
