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

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.

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.

@therevolvingmonk 3 жыл бұрын

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.

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!

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 ❤️

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.

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!!!

Really enjoy your video lessons and this one is right up there, great way of clearing the mind of to many thoughts, if you shift your weight back and forward properly and keep head fairly centred you get the lag and sweet spot with out worrying to much about deloft ect. I found I had to adjust grip to strong for driver (slice) and weak for irons (hook) but once I started hitting the ball on a better swing plane with practice, i can be more neutral and just concentrate on repeating the swing with a good follow through and finish like this, then tempo, timing, and distance/accuracy becomes consistent. Top Work 👍
