You nailed it brother. I was fixated with getting a divot after the ball and purchased a divot board, which is a good aide to be sure, to help me out. Prior to this I was hitting my irons well taking a small divot now and then, but I was generally pleased with my iron play - just wanted that divot. Using the divot board I started to really focus on making that contact at the ball and at first it was going well, but then my swing went to hell. I was shanking balls, hitting fat, thin, you name it. Very frustrating. Now I know why. I had started to really hit down on the ball/mat and totally forgot about my swing all together. The focus on hitting down totally wrecked the good parts of my swing that I had worked so hard on over the winter. The more I tried to correct the worse it got. Hopefully now that you slapped me in the face with the problem I can get back on track. Thanks MSG.
Just following up a month later. Yeah it made a world of difference. There is another video of yours about an "on the course" drill or swing thought where you say to focus on the handle and take it down toward the ball. That one helped me out a lot too. Got me swinging a lot smoother and making good contact. Thanks again.
I decided to work on my irons during COVID-19..... it was not going well.
Then I watched this.....
I can’t wait for COVID-19 to be over.... Thank You!
1000% agree with this. There’s so many teachers that say pretend you’re driving a diagonal nail down into the ground. Don’t do that…. You will chunk it and screw up your front arms elbow.
“Down plus down equals... No good!”🤣🤣 dude you have a gift with the way you teach. Thank you for sharing your gifts with us, always! My score is dropping significantly in the last few months ever since I happened upon your channel🙏🏼❤️
You have mastered the golf swing - there's no way to disagree with any of these techniques
I've been playing golf for 20 years and this is probably the best advice I ever received to help my golf game. I tried this simple technique at the range and I was hitting the ball so clean and crisp. I couldn't believe it. I was just amazed. Thanks again! 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾
This makes so much sense! I have heard "hit down on the ball" on almost every round of golf I have ever played. I just gotta tell my friends to shut up.
Beautiful. And a great side pocket finish. Just what I needed to understand EXTENDING THE HITTING AREA - perfect!!!!
The great Harvey Pennick always talked about the magic move. Elbow to your side move weight forward. One move, very simple. Great video so simple.
Watch this start of every season easily the best tip ever
Mr SG, for the past several weeks, I’ve been trying to understand how to swing down but not stick the club into the ground even though I was hitting the ball first. In the last couple of days, I happened upon keeping my right elbow attached to my body, exactly the way you just explained in this video. Your explanation in this video confirmed that I fell into something right!! If only I could have learned this a long time ago, it would have helped my game tremendously. Thank you for telling us that I fell into something right!😊
Your a great teacher of the game,,,thanks
Your bump and slide tip has seriously helped my chipping..ty
At first I was skeptical reading the title but you actually make a legitimate point. The idea of shallowing out the “down” was very compelling.
OMG! Someone had to say it. And YOU are the one who did! Thank you for your bravery in tackling such a controversial topic. You have become a pioneer!
The essence of golf in 6:50 min.An absolute KILLER Mr.Short Game!!
Finally someone who makes since
IT NEEDED SAYING! I'm so glad a respected instructor finally said it. I'm really glad to know I'm not the only heretic on the golf course.
Great video. Cant wait to try it. Ive been trying for forty years. Thanks Again.
I play with one hand and I love your videos I've learned so much in my game has turned around! Much thanks your videos are animated and not cookie cutter!
Nobody makes the golf swing more simple and more EFFECTIVE. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Entertaining too.
I've literally never seen a video that I disagree with and agree with at the same time. "hit down on the ball" is told to people because they are trying to lift the ball with their wrists. But your right elbow in and turn your right shoulder is spot on. Well done.
I’ve been told for over 30 years you need to hit down and pinch the ball. Thank you for explaining it so simply.
Great tip... I caught Bernhard Langer making this exact point on Golf Channel. And he's done pretty well with it! Took it to the range today, and was amazed: much more consistent contact, ball flight, freer and easier swing in general. Got a feeling, too, "sweeping" is much easier on the body as we age... I'm all in!
Definitely no GMO's Organic all the way, Natural baby. Great stuff!!
I just luv your way of instruction. So cool, easy to grasp and very sensible. Luv it. Greetings from the UK..
I really love this video I find myself reviewing it time and time again
Matt, I appreciate your golf instruction for all your videos. You simplify every aspect of the game. You’ve improved every single area of my golf game. You make the game FUN.
Great instruction! I used to be fairly decent with irons... until I decided to really dive into my swing. Messed me up big time!
I'm glad I found you. Thanks I'm looking forward to learning from you.
Once again you've made a great video! Equally informative, clear and fun! Thank you
Couldn’t agree more with this. Besides playing better shots by doing this, it also makes your golf swing feel good, literally.
You make these videos at the most perfect times for me. Anytime I think of a question, you seem to have a video on it. Love it. Thanks for all you do!!
Gluten free swing! Love it. Great work, fantastic video once again!
Mich
I love the videos i dont always comment but "A Gluten Free Swing" busted me up!🤣
Now this video I agree with 100%. When I was younger, I could pick the ball off the turf and have distance control. Now I am 58, so no golf lessons on TV when I was a kig, but once they did start up when I was about 25, I saw them teaching about taking a divot, and I have been unable to hit a good iron shot since. Other than my wedges. My wedges are the best clubs in my bag.
Thanks for clarifying this I can’t wait to try it out
Excellent advise
Thank you Sir
This was the absolute best way to explain a great golf swing, excellent advice, SUPERB! Great coaching and keep it natural!!!
This Video is spot on! I was just working on this with my instructor yesterday.
Awesome advice! This is all so true!
Such sensible advice, great video. Thanks
Feel vs real. Different strokes for different folks. The sensation of hitting down on the golf ball works well for me and can work well for many people, especially those who fan open the club on the takeaway. Keeping the club face pointed at the golf ball during the takeaway feels like I'm going to hit down on it, but that's not what happens in the downswing. Enjoy your channel and enthusiasm. Every golfer needs a different concept and feel.
Best lesson I ever had!! Also loved the quail calling in the background!
Really fun to watch your video Matt !
Great video, love the enthusiasm and presentation lol. Very entertaining and good information!
Love the slightly crazy but honest and comfortable presentation. Love it.
Thanks bro. Keep up the videos they are great.
Thank you for explaining this ! I struggled my whole life with fat and thin shots. Your explanation makes sense to me. Now I can't wait to try it out.
Great simple and effective lesson to make the golf swing easier. Thanks!
Your videos are brilliant. Thank you. That technique his hitting a muddy UK course this week! Thank you.
It makes sense man. I will try it today! Thank you.
Great instruction. You have a fun way to teach. Golf is hard enough without having a little humor. Down plus down equals double bogie. Thanks !
I like this guy! First time i"ve suscribed in 2 years.
Great video and explanation.
You pretty much hit the nail on the head with what my problem had been for years, after hearing "hit down on the ball" for so long, and trying to do just that, my backswing became too vertical and steep, and I was essentially "chopping wood" when it came to my downswing. And video of my swing proved I had to stand up during the downswing, again just as you described, to subconsciously compensate for this issue. I think there are so many old golf adages (eg. "keep your head down", "hit down on the ball", "put the ball up by your left heel when hitting driver", among others) that are inherently flawed and end up getting exaggerated by most of us weekend golfers to the point where it is amazing we can hit the ball at all!
Love the energy, first vid I've seen from you gotta subcribe👍👍👍
Excellent description and cure for the common stroke.
Thank you. Good advice on golf. I just need to hit it further
Keep it up love the lesson thanks
Thanks Matt! This advice came at just the right time! I had been getting my hip rotation working but keeping my elbows in and hands ahead is a revelation for my swing!! Something about how you say it and show it, made it possible for me to do. Thanks! Thanks!
One of if not the best videos i have seen yet. Thank you
Thanks for this video. Tried it over the weekend and it resulted in some of the best contact with my irons I have ever had. Coming into steep to the ball is definitely a glaring issue in my game.
Hey man I just want to say this one fix to my swing has got me hitting the ball further bc my confidence is back for I'm way more consistent on strikes and way more accurate. THANKS SO MUCH!!
I like this guy, I’ve seen a hundred golf teaching videos and he has the best personality by far
THANK YOU!! I was instructed to get a strong forward press and hit down on the ball. Completely messed up my driver. I now know what to work on!
great stuff keep up the good work
Fantastic advice!!
True, true, true. The one thing you are missing here (that is needed because of all of the miss information out there), is that you need a relatively tensionless swing (especially loose wrists). If the person is trying to get forward shaft lean and artificially holds lag, they will never compress the ball consistently. If your wrists are loose, your club will go into the ground at impact without trying! This is because as the lead leg straightens near impact, the force of the club goes in the opposite direction (down), but only if you allow it with supple wrists.
Another Great Video & Tip!!! Hitting down on the ball was 1 of the first thing's I was taught when I started playing! Your method is infinitely better! Thank You!!!
You're a great teacher. Simple, passionate and genuine - no preservatives added. :-)
Thanks for this video because im the guy who never takes a divot . After this golf trip with my buddies and most of them taking divots , i started to think i needed to change my swing even knowing that i play better golf than most of them . Anyway thanks for telling me to stop worrying so much about the divot .
How can i thank you sir!! You helped me so much! I follow this method, and all i can say is wow!!! My golfballs we’re flying so STRAIGHT!!! And far!!!! You change my swing and I want to thank you!! Big Fan!!!!
Great tip,thanks a lot.
im convinced this man watched my terrible iron strikes last round i played.. appreciate u man im gonna watch this again before i hit the range this week
Love your excitement!
I like it. Great explanation
I'm so glad you covered this. Had a lesson other day and my local club coach told me to 'hit down' to get a divot. Inside, I'm like I don't know about - everytime I try hitting down it's like what you said will happen - lots of bad stuff. I just needed to turn more.
Thanks for this! 👍🏻
It really helps!!! Appreciate SG
Great video, thank you, shot 75 last weekend using this simple technique.
you shot a 75 last week but you need a swing tip like this?
@@daveopack8418 yea, I was hitting down into the ball and was very inconsistent at 150 yds in.
Great tips!!!
Down + Down = NO GOOD. Love it man!!!
Love it. Definitely works.
I tried it,,,, so pure. Ty man!
Man, you make these things so much less complicated than they need to be. I wish every pro/instructor did this, instead of overcomplicating with instructions you don't actually know what does. Thank you!
You sir, are a champion! Thanks!
LOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!! Thank you!!!!
Great lesson!
Great advice.a club fitter said I was a ball picker because I don't hit down on the ball.i figured that out a long time ago,it does no good for me so I sweep.
VERY GOOD WAY OF GETTING YOUR POINT ACROSS! SWING INTO THE BALL AND TRY TO COMPRESS IT NOT DOWN ON IT. GREAT ADVICE. SC300 ROCKS DUDE!!!
First time I've watched one of your video's. Very good, subscribed
Now see this is why I call you coach because I have had so many people and it's the new ones that I introduce to the game they go off play with others come back to me and say hit down on the ball SMH now my Short Game isn't that great but I know better than that keep up the good work coach oh and by the way I have recommended people to watch you I think I'll be doing what I'm talkin about sometime thanks coach for all your tips lol
Really enjoy what you’re doing...you’ve allowed me to put 4 iron in my bag and make it an advantage...thanks so much
Love you man keep it up! I agree with you
I think this might help me. Going to try it out on the range tomorrow 👍
Very good advice. I also think that trying to hit down is the #1 cause for shanking.
Thank you! I use to try hitting down on the ball to try and take a big divot after the ball. It's very difficult to get your timing just right and just leads to chunking from time to time. After I realized that I actually hit it better trying to pick the ball off the turf my game improved. Picking the ball isn't the answer either, but it's better than hitting down. You explained it perfectly! Keep up the great videos.
I love it! Preach it Matt!
Agree. Thanks.
