Outstanding! The difference between the results of being left and right as demonstrated here are tremendous in relation to your score and your mental state. I have been viewing MSG videos for a few years now and his tips are spot-on. Also, and this is key -- he is consistent in his instructions. Last year I put them together and dropped from a 16.1 in April to at 12.9 by November. Next stop: single digits.

1 of the few videos out there to have really helped me. Always had a pull with my wedges and I would try to change my swing to address it, saw just the thumbnail of this video before heading off to my round today. After about 3 consecutive pulls with my wedges (other clubs were missing push side) I tried your advice and it worked! Came back after the round to watch this. Now on to your video about hybrids, I tend to over draw those....

This is a great tip. I figured this out about 4 months ago. Forever I have been missing right on my approach shots. (I’m a lefty ) I started setting up with a slightly open face and the results were immediate . Hitting more greens. More birdie chances. Lower handicap. Great tip!

I subscribed. Interesting ideas - will try out on the range. My question would be why open the face - that seems like it would make it hard to flight the ball. I like the idea of a neutral shaft lean and square face. Seems like opening the face would balloon the ball - especially for a high ball hitter like me.

Pretty advanced concept and you explained it very well. At what stage do you think it’s good to introduce this to a golfer who’s playing 95-105 range?

Matt great lesson. I have been pulling wedges forever. Worked on this today with a 54 degree wedge. Honestly was pushing the shots a little right and could not get them to straighten out. What did I miss? Too shallow ? Even with the push it beats the heck out of the long left miss. (Note I was hitting foam balls so they may not react like a real ball )

@knucklesbtw8605 Жыл бұрын

With wedges your body should be aimed a little left with the clubface at the target. You could have been hitting proper wedges but you just had your body too square as you were probably setting up like you were hitting on iron. See this Tiger wedge shot I'll link below. His body is aimed center of the green but his clubface is aimed at the target (right pin): kzfaq.info/get/bejne/ateAerKqubqnqYE.html

@philipbaddeley9163 5 ай бұрын

A year late with this comment but just been to the range to try this and it REALLY works ! I’ve missed greens to the left for years and is why my HC isn’t 6 or 7 lower. Basically instead of setting up with left arm and club in straight line, i.e. with forward shaft lean, set up with handle in the centre and open the face about 10 deg or so. When you come back to impact position, the face has squared and it flies straight….brilliant and thank you from the UK.

@tommcnutt2582 8 ай бұрын

This video will help me get the ball on the green in regulation. I seem to be left of the green more often than not and I know this tip will help reduce that. I always set up with the club in the middle as you have spoken about numerous times and open the face for chipping but have the face square with my long wedge shots. This has to be the answer. Heading down to my hitting net in the basement now to see if it is the answer!

@jamess101 Жыл бұрын

Hi Matt, always good stuff, what wedge do you use for 100 yds, I would use a pitching wedge, would you increase or decrease the amount of opening of the club pending on the loft and or distance as well, or using the same amount on all, Thx.

@Ikonfoster Жыл бұрын

This concept is shown really well by Dustin Johnson’s bunker play as well. He pretty much addresses the ball with the hosel but at impact the club is in a normal impact position.

I have been struggling with this issue - pulled shots going long and left - for a long time. Great video. One question - and I'm sure I can figure this out by trial and error - but do you have a guideline on how much to open the face? Obviously we're not going as open as if we were hitting a flop or a sand shot. A few degrees?

@kakimotoK20 Жыл бұрын

Sounds like you pull shots other than wedges too? I’m not really sold on this, I’ve pulled a wedge, but it was just like pulling a 5 iron… the pull was my miss for years with every club. I’ve been taking lessons and don’t pull it often anymore, the wedge pulls disappeared with all the others. Pretty sure what fixed the pull was my swing path got more in to out and took my hands out of it. I just hold the club face off instead of releasing right as I hit the ball.
