OMG! 😲😲😲 After MONTHS of trying to fix my early extension with different drills and swing thoughts, THIS was the cure! After 10 minutes of repeatedly whacking myself with an alignment stick (at painfully high speed) I finally figured out how to turn around AND make contact with the ball. Result? When I dropped the stick and swung with my 7i, 5i, hybrid and 3w the blocks and hooks were GONE! THANK YOU! 😀💋

Your drill with the stick is simply amazing. It covers all i need to know about 'take away', 'shallow', and 'shaft lean' . Thank you.

Circe de sole in background is nice 😊

I have been a subscriber for a few months now and continue to come back because of your humor. But I have to say this alignment stick drill has worked wonders with my swing. I am 8 handicap and am self taught. Never having a lesson, I always questioned if my approach to my own swing was the most efficient. My takeaway has always been my bugaboo so I would experiment throughout the season to get better. Well after watching this lesson and using the stick drill throughout my bag, minus the putter, I have to say my confidence is through the roof. Thank you and continue the great work!

i've been watching you since you started the Mr Short Game videos (and your previous ones too) and that was about the time I started playing golf. you have been a lifesaver with your videos. I truly appreciate your advice. I have taken what you taught and taken it to the course.

@ MrShortGame Golf crisp and clear explanation ... no paralysis by analysis ... we appreciate what you do ...

Hi Mark I thought I had my swing fixed in 10 min 2 months ago,it didn’t last what really helped in the end was the stick drill,you said do it 10000 times, it started working for me after about 1200 times...it is all about how you turn the top half of the body on the downswing - thank you again!!!

This drill changed my golf life !

Thank you, I had forgotten about this drill!!! A great drill, simple and can be done just about anywhere. Alignment sticks are so versatile and not just used for alignment. Thank you.

This is a game changer! THANKS!

Very helpful. I watch a lot of drill vidoes--this guy is one of the best.

Best video. So clear. One has to rotate the body in downswing, in fact earlier than upper body. Thanks.

Man, this is my big issue, 150 ft high 80 yards long with a five iron. Your tip on not coming down on the ball improved it greatly, just need the distance. Thanks. All my faith in you.

One of the best drills I have ever seen. Great stuff!

This is my swing. I've always had my hands behind the ball at impact making my shot extremely high. They look pretty, but I've always struggled with distance control. Most of the time I come up short. I'm very excited to work on my rotation over the winter months with this drill. :) Thanks Matt!

I watched this and then hit the range. It seems to be a big part of my problem. I just imagined I had the rod but didn't put it on my club. It worked well, I even tried it with my chipping and sand trap shots. It helped me a lot in the sand, not sure if it is supposed to. I also kept my hands forward in my putting and that helped too. Thank.

excellent explanation, my golf coach never noticed this flaw in my swing its amazing how much can change with such a minor adjustment

Thank you ; amazing drill and i am on it straight away and will post feed back. one day may hit 7 iron 170 yds, currently 150 yds.

For me after watching his HHWRR and WRAPS videos, the improvement has been massive. One thing to add that worked for me magically is that you should be conscious about BOTH of your shoulder positions on down and upswings. Lt shoulder under your chin, not on your Lt cheek on top of back swing and Rt shoulder under your chin, not on your Rt ear on release. And Rt shoulder behind your Rt ear, not below on top of backswing and Lt shoulder behind your Lt ear, not below on release.

Thank You, I tried it some months ago worked for me in 10 min, then I lost it....found it again I didn’t rotate all the may into the finish...I hope it will stay with me now!! Watched the video about 25 times!! Thanks so much.

This really, really produced results for me. Thank you

Another awesome video! Thank you Matt!😊🏌🏼‍♂️

MSG Keep it coming!

Thanks Matt, I'm going to start doing this drill every day. Thanks again for all of the other drills that you sent me. Your instruction is top notch!

Well explained. I need this and will definitely try it out. Thank you for great content

Just learning to play the game at 30... These videos are perfect. Thank you for the free game literally. Would love to have a swing analysis done.. let me know how much!!

Very good video and instruction … lots of description, plenty of repetitions, and slo-mos to help make sense of everything. The side x side comparo with Tiger was very helpful, too. Nice video.

this should really help cause i've always been too much arms. thnx mr. short game.

Can't wait to try this

holy cow the flying wallendas live behind you dude

Thanks for putting me back on track \o/

I am Joe! Well, maybe with the exception of the sway, but all else looks exactly like my swing and probably a million others ;) Great explanation and very relatable drill!

Great drill, well explained. Thank you.

great drill! attacks the flip on downswing and flat backswing at once!

Awesome drill. Will go get alignment sticks tomorrow.

Great drill Thanks

Excellent video! Thank you for your help!

wow.... fundamentals are the key thanks....

Love this guy

Love this. You've got instant feedback too.

This is just what I needed, thanks!

Excellent instruction!

Love all the videos, Matt. Just wondering do you have circ de soule going on behind you though? Lol

Thank you... great drills. Helping a lot

Great tip. My hips are starting to rotate but it can rotate more, so I will do this drill. Without the ball to hit, I am okay. But I cannot rotate as much with the ball.

Your videos are awesome! Thank you for your help!

Amazing I lost my swing....Idid not rotate all the way - THANK YOU you are a genius the rotation drill fixed my swing in 10 minutes, I am 76 y and can get 165y out of my 7iron again. BRAVO!!

This is an excellent drill. I finally see how to flatten the club. Do you do the same flattening with driver? probably yes

Great video. I'm going to have major back surgery on Feb-13th. So after healing up, I'm going to start this drill. I have great irons and woods, but my back issues​ have slowed my golf game. I'm 54, and really want to get back in shape and play as often as can. Golf is a beautiful game and I want to practice many of your techniques. Thank you very much ...

Love the circus in the back.

Thanks 👍❤️

To protect myself from lawsuits I would have to be inside the net while hitting. LOL

Thanks for video!

Need to try this. So hard not to sway back. Never hit the ball square when I do that.

Great drill! I try to do the same by feeling my elbows are more connected in the backswing. The acrobats in the background are just surreal. Strangely consistent somehow...

Fantastic, thanks

So Good ,, thank you

Please collab w the trapeze artist neighbors!! Am I the only one??

I like this guy man he is pumped about golf! Makes me want to go tee off

the student is what i feel i look like, some good and some bad. gonna work on a bit more rotation thnx for the help msg.

MrShortGame, I Like your channel a lot and enjoy the content , however I must "disagree" with you on trying to shallowing out the shaft on the down swing. The change of direction is what shallows out the shaft and putting it on a shallower plane coming down. I am sure you would agree that a golfer with a correct back swing "on plane" will fire the lower first allowing the shaft to shallow, thus comes the release. Consider Hogan's book ,5 lessons pages 88 & 89! Wedge is the Key that unlocks the score!!

Lobe the pica-la pooka-la bros in the background 😂😂

Hey Matt...those trapeze artists are rotating nicely..lol!!!....lve the videos matt. great stuff

First time I'm noticing the circus act in your neighbors yard.

Would you recommend pulling alignment stick on your back hip to promote the turn and stop one from sliding?

AMAZING VIDEO"S...

We have the beautiful Robert Trent Jones golf trail here in Alabama that I'm a member of. It would be an awesome place to film . Maybe we can see what it would cost to get you here.

How about some tips for us senior types

Good drill and explanation👍,thanks! Greatest golfer ever is Jack Nicklaus ! 😀👍

Lol the neighbors!! And good stuff pa!l keep it coming.I'm learning a lot! I just got chipping down a lot better and that's all because of rotation. This should help a ton of people.

subbed!

Can you do this with a driver as well?

So here's a question. At the top of the backswing you and many pro teachers say "flatten out" ... the hands let the shaft fall back.....why not eliminate that flatten out by getting into that position in the backswing to begin with???

Do you have any tips to get lag out of your golf swing? My launch angle has been 7 degrees and lower, and is killing my distance and speed in every club. Great videos BTW!

His swing is exactly like mine.

Whats with the trapeze ? Please comment on whats up with them?

Great vid! Well explained. Wish l knew this a decade ago then l would kick my buddies and opponents' butts today. Thanks.

If there is a tournament of all you tube golf instructors. Who do you think will win?

how much are those mats ya got there

can this rotation drill apply to the driver swing?

I would like to see more 90 to 100 score that you work with We could see results of your lessons. We know you can hit the ball. We need to see you work with guys game

Great drill ! I'd love for you to take a look at my swing , not sure how to get you a vid. though , I do have a few short up loaded video's on my channel if you go there look at the one titled 7 iron , thanks that might work .

Let’s be honest here. We don’t follow this guy for golf tips.. We follow him for the hilarious sh$& he says!!! 🤫😂

I want to see Mr Short Game vs GG on the golf course.

Hardest video to pay attention to once I seen the trapeze in the other yard

amazon page?

Okay, great drill, BUT...what's going on with the neighbors in the background? Do you live next to the Flying Graysons??

Flying monkeys in the background!!! Awesome!!!

shout out to the chickens

Would please explain what is going on beyond your fence in the background???

I’ve learnt you don’t add rotation going back you add it going through and after the ball.

How can I get a live lesson?

why cant you swing into position and fire, why go above plane to back on plane

Is there someone swinging in the backyard behind you on a trapeze? Imagine if you hit a ball over your net!

What the hell is going on behind your practice range. Looks like a party. 😆

How many chickens do you have? I have 10

I think you re teaching more of a stack and tilt swing. Not that it’s bad,but it’s hard for some to grasp.

neighbors have a trapeze?

Frickin trapeze shit at the neighbors!

So much going on. Circus training, chicken coupe... you have to be from the south... great drills btw 😂
