Never in a million years did I believe this. Had a pga pro feel sorry for me at the range today. had me doing this after slicing a sand wedge and hitting thin. Lolol. Had me put ball foward, open stance, chase the ball. He sayed don’t change your swing it’s your swing change the ball. Mind blown 🤯. Litterally 2 balls later I was hitting straight. 9-3iron. We did drill with various irons. All for free just to prove the point. After the fact he went into details. Said most people get hung up on what they are suppose to do and forget to hit the ball....immediately stoped blocking, allowed me to turn /rotate the hips. Full swing. All with out thinking about it. Golf is 95 % mental and 5 % skill. You have to master your mind before u can incorporate
skill
Two years ago I struggled to break 100 last week I shot even par on the back 9 of my home course and broke 80 for the first time!!! Thank you for all the videos I’ve watched and put to use over the past couple years!
I’ve watched SEVERAL videos on this as this is my Achilles heal most of the time - BUT YOU HAVE CURED ME WITH THIS - THANK YOU!!
Ball forward is always a better ball striking strategy. The Golden Bear did all the time. The logic is that it forces one to extend one's swing arc and arms such that one tends not to lift his body but stay down. Great tip.
Off to the practice ground. Thanks Matt
I know this is an old video, but I've been struggling with thin and fat shots. I searched, and this came up and realized I was lifting my trail foot way too soon. Thanks a bunch! This worked!
That intro with the thin shot is exactly how I react every time i thin it! 🤣
I don’t even have trouble with hitting it thin and this is still helpful! Thanks man
Your videos/tips/instructions have completely reshaped my swing. Fell out of my groove with irons, lost my shape and form for some weeks. Developed bad habits, but your videos got me back to the basics and it has been a night and day difference. Thank you!!!!
Sorry MSG but I could not stop laughing when you were demonstrating the wrong way of having the club face too open and you shanked your "brand new Pro V1" into the brush and lost it.
As always, think you for the tip. I have been practicing indoors all winter and I found my first few rounds I have been hitting thin several times and not getting down on the ball as I did on my turf. I think my over rotation is the cause and I will find out today on my next round on a course.
You are the best golf teacher on UA-cam my friend.
You are are funny dude 😂😂 the walk away at the beginning is classic😂😂😂
Your videos have helped me so much. Playing the best golf of my life
That’s a great lesson.What a beautiful golf course.
Hey Matt, Love the content you produce. A suggestion for a video. How to get warmed up for a round. Specifically, when there is no range, only a small practice green. Thank you, keep up the good work.
Thanks Matt. Great drill
Just found this video, Awesome and so easy to understand, I've search endlessly for a fix to my thin shots and all I found were over complicated explanations and drills that did not work. I should have known better and searched Mr short game first.
Thanks so much Matt !!
Super helpful! Will have to try in my next video!
Now to ‘swing the same swing I just swung’. 😂😂😂. Love your style of teaching!
Thanks I did this all weekend had no idea how to fix it.
Topping is my major issue with my irons. I've only been playing 4 months so I need all the help I can get. Your drills are always very practical. Can't wait to try this one.
Thanks for the video ⛳🏌️♀️🏌️🏌️♂️
I love you Mr Short game. Just a little perfect timing
Thinning and topping the ball is my biggest issue. For a beginner I have decent confidence smashing my driver off the tee but that average 4-6 iron shot off the fairway kills me almost every time. Thanks for the help, all of your videos are great Matt. Cheers!
Perfect information as this is a continuous situation of working and developing the muscle memory. Thank you!
Hello Matt,
I've just recently subscribed to your golf tuition and I must say that your delivery style is just great. You explain things extremely well and in a way that me, as a night handicapper, understands. After watching y this video I realised that I was dying all of the things you describe abs I had one of those 'light bulb' moments!! So thanks for helping me out and I will keep watching!!😊
Many thanks
David
DAVID LAWRENCE thanks bud. Welcome. Hope you enjoy the ride
Loved that video! I was 6 over par yesterday and 4 of those were due from thinning some of my long irons. Thanks for the lesson! I love your enthusiasm for the game!
You're content is so good. Idk how you don't have more subscribers! Thanks for the vid. Going to break 90 today with the boys!
One drill to rule them all! Thanks!!
Trying this! ❤️
Great Instructional video as usual Simply explained no complicateded drills or gibberish - Great ,keep up the good work.
Thank you , gonna definitely give this a go , am very inconsistent at the range , I'm taking lessons at the moment but I'll hit about 50 or so like this and see where im at. Thanks again
You are the best youtuber out there. I love your stuff so much I'm going back months
Thanks again Matt! Ran through this drill about five times. I'm heading down on the ball for the first time hearing that nice click when I hit it. You're the best thank you again
putting the ball forward makes so much sense in getting the body to learn how to stay down on those iron shots. will take this to practice!!!! Thanks
Thanks matt, great video again.. will work on this at the practice area today, the occasional thin but definitely feel this will be good drill to get into a good routine for more consitancy staying down through the ball longer, do you feel that would help ??
Regards graham
Had a lesson a couple weeks ago and my instructor showed me this same drill! Thanks Matt...more great content!
Sounds like u don’t need the lessons, just listen to Matt lol
Matt always great information. Got any drills for the club between your ears. Swing hard and look up fast😂😂. Be safe my friend!
I do top the ball at least once or twice a round and I don’t know if this drill will help me but you’ve explained it so clearly, that I have to try it. 👍
True story. I watched this video a month ago when it came out but I was not thinning it then. I played a round last week and thinned several shots. Went to the range yesterday and thinned a BUNCH of shots so I am definitely going to use this drill today. Thx!
Can't wait to try it.Didnt think I could be as sick of anything as a slice but hitting a 5 iron thin is getting close
I was hitting my 5 iron better at the "3 balls forward" position than I have ever hit them in my normal stance. The attention to make solid contact with this drill is phenomenal. Thank you MSG!
Good drill, ill try it
In 45 years of trying to play our game, I have never seen that drill before. Have to hand it to you, truly informative instruction. Thanks Matt great content as ever. By the way, my local Pro is also called Matt, spokey or what?
Matt, do you have a blooper reel? I'd love to see a video of just your filming bloopers! Might be fun! Keep up the great videos! Love 'em!
Great drill normally dont thin shots but have trouble getting arm extension
Your awesome !!
Another good video.
I see so many golf teachers say to put the golf ball for irons in different positions. Some say middle of stance, others off lead ear, further forward etc. Is there really a perfect postion or does it really depend on the actual player and their swing? Thanks! Love the vids
Last round of golf, topped my ball on 9 tee shots out of 18. Still almost played my handicap but lost so many strokes because of this. Going to try this drill tomorrow and will see if it helps on tournament saturday.
Love the instructional v-logs and drills 👍
You do these practice videos with new Titleist ProV1?? Man that UA-cam money must be good because I know the pain of losing one of those for real in a round. I’d be using range balls or a Noodle ball haha
Im new to this guy but he s great ... i need to improve my game .20 years playing .5 years no play due to injurys . 10 years i played 3 to 7 rounds per . 5 years i would play like 8 to 12 rounds .i feel i shouldnt be topping or hitting thin often like i do and which i do every round.... i look forward to trying this drill .my only concern is will i start hitting it fat if i do this drill too much lol ?
Top the ball 5 to 6 times a round, Will give this drill a try and hope it helps, i will hunt 30 minutes for a lost ProV 1.
Nice explanation, will be trying this on the range later 👍
Excellent suggestion! Shouldn`t this be for most of ones shots tho?
Good tip certainly going practice using this drill. Thanks 👍
Is it normal to hit near the heel when doing this drill? It was super helpful after trying this today. Did 100 shots with the drill
I'm the tippie toe guy 😪 good thing is thanks to watching this videos I know what's wrong and it can be fixed
Is this the same idea as me looking at the front edge of the ball, or even an inch in front of the ball, instead of the back edge? Ironically I struggle with chunking it the most, so I look at the front of the ball to hopefully make clean contact. If I just look at the back of the ball and try not to chunk then I tend to top it or thin it.
How about a video on what to do when you’re playing on a course with VERY dry and VERY fast greens. It’s like hitting onto a wood floor or glass. And then the ground is hard as rock, so you can’t get under the ball, a flop shot of any kind is impossible. It really, really makes golf difficult. Tips for this situation? (Besides fine better courses that actually water)
Land it short and let it roll. Theres a course here in jax fl that plays like that.
Like Miles said, learn to bump and run that shot.
Help Matt! I used to play off 8 and after a 5 year break I’m finding my game again but when I’m 150m or less from the pin with an 8 or less in my hand I thin or chunk it maybe half the time! Now it’s in my head and my pre shot routine includes a “don’t hit it thin or fat” self mention...a big no no I know!! But I’m stuck in this rut now and while your drillshelp I need your advice on getting out of my own way and clearing my mind EDIT: if I’m in the rough then no worries it’s tight fairway lies that trouble me (but I don’t get any spin cause of rough hahahah)
I hit behind the ball more than a few times in my last round. I’m determined to focus not on the divot but upon the ball. I’d rather drive the ball into the ground than hit behind the ball. When my second shot is 100-130 yards from the green I will make sure I think about hitting the ball. Imagining the divot is dangerous, because it is not the priority and I may hit behind the ball. I’ve noticed that the left shoulder returns to the starting position when hitting the ball. Thanks
Matt, one of the things you might want to add to this is length of club.I found out that I was hitting with clubs that were over an inch short for my height. I'm over 6 ft but I'm using a standard set of golf clubs so I have to bend over more to address the ball and in my swing I'm standing to accommodate the swing and that's raising me up enough to hit my ball I lenfhted my shafts and I haven't had a problem since
James Brusseau 101 ... Being “fitted” for any club is a prerequisite in golf if you are TALL > 6 ft OR ANY OTHER PHYSICAL FACTOR if you are not an average size human being. Standard club lengths are not the only issue, it’s shaft type/torque even grip size, all come into play.
Super glad I watched this to remind me of this drill because this is exactly what I need in my swing right now. I don't stay down long enough a lot of times, especially with my short irons.
Have you ever reviewed the power package golf system? Value your opinions and tips.
And first! And I need this one...
"That was a brand new pro-v-1 right into the bushes..." : O
3:15 Geniune disgust at losing a brand new ProV.
I could not stop laughing at that part. :)
One more reason maybe is as soon as I bent my arms at impact, I get thin shots. Any advice. Thanks.
II am working this; hoping to fix other character flaws too!
thats a good drill. that is the key to stay down and dont pull up too soon
5:54 it can destroy more than a golf game
My friend struggles with tippy toeing the ball. Lifts his left heel literally 4 inches off ground in back swing. Gonna send him this video.
Any drills to stop slicing and pulling your head
RIP to that Pro V1 🙏🙏
I’m having the opposite problem, as I can’t get up off my heels for any long shot....any tips?
What I learned a few years ago that is perfect and what most PGA players do is open your front foot to make sure your hips and turn much more therefore causing your feet to come up more with more loft and power to your shot.
Do just swing the same swing I just swung... .That's harder than the drill😂.did you get that pro v?
I thin my shots most when I try to take your advice about "using the bounce" when chipping.
Try get used to chipping with one club, I have mastered my 7 iron. I only use "bounce" when the ball is sitting quite high in the grass.
Your thins are better than mine I’d be well happy with that 😂
In terms of "fixing face rotation" another drill that complements the drill in this video is this old one of the wrist practice: ua-cam.com/video/kKHCGNT-hPw/v-deo.html
I laughed out loud when you said “I just hit a brand new Pro V 1 in the bushes” those balls are expensive
Thanks for the drill!
Not been a problem until I bought a hybrid
Wanna skip ahead to the drill? Go to 7:10. Cheers!
My "worm burner" is my most consistent shot.....
Thanks for the lesson mate!
I play golf
i typically keep my eye on the ball and it works
"Right in the bushes..." lol
(do you really need to say the exact same thing ten times in a row?)
Need a little more rage and cussing in those bad shots for me to get the idea. Great video
I call those worm burners lol
i hit straight but 9 out of 10 are thin not super thin its cuz i stand up when i hit it but i cant help it
second
You are using a 6 iron. why the 6 vs a 8 or other iron?
Third
I tippy toe through the bogies
DONT GET IN THE TIPPY TOE ELDRED…THANK YOU🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
I’d be cool with your first shot at least it was in the air. I have a real problem with hitting an iron and it just rolls along the ground a few hundred feet if that.
Sorry you lost that proV1!
Anddd that was a brand new pro v1 😑
