I swear, Matt single handedly fixed my game. Explains everything so well and is right on with what we weekend warriors do wrong. Best golf tips/instructor on UA-cam hands down ❤
I struggle with this too, but when I try to correct it I notice I set up good, but when I go to actually hit the ball, or readdress it, I have inadvertently closed the club face. It happens everytime. If I try to consciously open it up (square it up back to straight on), I become very unnatural. Not sure what I am messing up.
Thanks for putting in all those extra camera angles while explaining the technique I'm sure it takes you extra time but helps understanding what your saying so much easier... This guy really does love us.😂
Perfect timing, I literally realized how closed I was holding my club to my target line only a few weeks back. My game has literally changed dramatically from this simple fix. Golfers, we want the face of the club square to our target line which is parallel to our foot line. I held it closed for so long, contact has improved drastically, distance, ball speed, accuracy. The swing now feels effortless. What a world of difference
I just got a set of golf clubs after not playing since middle school 15+ years ago. I've been binging these videos and learning so much. Ready to play this weekend!
Nice as always but I'm not sure about your claim that most amateurs miss left with a hook--I would say it is OVERWHELMINGLY the opposite--missing right with a slice.
I always start the driver with the club head in the centre of my stance besides squaring the club head to the intended line it keeps your shoulders square to the line. Pushing your club up against your teed up ball off your left instep can cause the shoulders to open and consequently a slice. Nice video. Thanks.
Manipulating the club face at address is something that creeps into my game from time to time. This is a great explanation of what most people have issues with. I generally am too much on the open face side but most people I see usually have face too closed at set up.
What’s with the TM SIM 2 driver? Haven’t seen that one. I used to hood my driver to fight my slice but figured out that wasn’t the correct method. Thanks Matt.
Thankyou so much your driver video helped me so much. Simple instructions easy to apply on course. Bingo. Just what I needed. Golf is fun again.!!can’t Thankyou enough
End of season match between me and my other amateur buddies. Progressed so much this summer with my irons and my short game, yet recently have developed a nasty slice. This came just in time for the range in the morning before the match.
I could have wrote this post WORD FOR WORD! My end of season match is TOMORROW but I have since corrected my slight slice but plan to hit the DRange in the morning just before our match. Now, hopefully my follow up post will mimic yours as well. I will be playing for "The Belt" AND "The Key".
Brilliant Video Matt!! Well explained🤝 Just yesterday I was losing my mind with the driver!! I'm a low hcp and usually have an on course mid-round fix but not yesterday!! Thanks!!
Went out for first time since video few days ago spent time on range first and my driver was easily best club in my bag that day. I absolutely put it on this video and showing me what I was most likely doing wrong.
This is exactly how my golf buddy sets up, lol. He never hits the range so I don't mention it. I really wish all golfers got driver sorted with lessons. It's a great feeling to hit a perfect drive more than once or twice a round. 😅
This is correct, if it was the case. Most golfers line up wiry the club face open and the ball not forward in their stance enough. They swing inside out and slice it up in the air to the right, as a righty [They give it way too much loft and the ball has to much loft. The second part of this video. They also don't look at the ball and pick their head up before impact.]
I've been losing my mind lately with this issue so this video has arrived at the perfect time. I've been playing the face far to open causing an extreme hook, the occasional slice and not enough fairways lol. Thanks!
@@billcoulter1984 I went from doing what you're doing to what I'm doing now lol. Hopefully I'll get it sorted out and yes spending the day with him would be fantastic.
To add my 2p. 75% of us move the ball to the right (if right handed) some of us with a controlled fade and some with a slice. So how do you hit a fade. Stand open. Aim left. The clubface at impact must be open to the path. The path is left and the clubface is also left. Just not as much as the path. A clubface that points at the middle of the fairway misses in the right rough. For most of us the clubface HAS to point at the left hand 150 yard marker.
When I used my R9 with 8° loft, I would rarely hit it well, or high. I then started "opening" the face to my eye, turns out I was literally just squaring the face to the target. It looks open from above, but from behind it's definitely square. I now use a different driver, one that's actually much, much older, but still use the same setup.
I close the face with all of my clubs and as you pointed out my misses are left and i deloft everything. This video is one of the best I’ve seen in ages. Can’t wait to get to the range and work on your tips. Thanks again!
Son of a gun. So simple, so easy not to screw up, but its almost never talked about or it's blown over in a video like a "duh" moment. He's 100% right. It works.
95% of Golfers address the ball with a shut face - because 95% of golfers slice the ball - because 95% of golfers have an open club face and swing across the ball. People aren't stupid - they know they suck, so they're doing what is required to have a gameable shot that hits the fairway. What is not 'seeming' natural for 95% of golfers is to maintain what feels like an extremely closed face on the backswing so it returns to square - so they do what they can do.
@@MrShortGame I completely disagree. Every single person I've seen on the range that hoods the club is a big slicer - they do this to preset some face control to offset their delivery. I often help these people, I set the club open, put the weight in the toe of their club (or give them mine) and help them to learn to square the club and hit a draw and understand that their clubface is wide-f'ing-open - and then learn to fix the real problem - but this does not change the fact of why they address the ball this way. They know they are a slicer, they already bought a draw-driver - and they still do this to help. The direction of causation is NOT how you laid it out - it's the opposite.
95% seems a little high. I use the Jack Nicklaus method of picking a spot on my target line & aligning the CF to that spot. ( I then setup the CF & my feet slightly right for a draw, but it always starts out with a CF that points straight down the target line).
Even though you are a bit verbose, you made some great points. I think the whole thing could have been summarized in less than 2 minutes. I have really been digging UA-cam shorts for that
Now wait a minute .. I thought the hands have to be ahead of the clubface through impact? (the pros always have this lag thing going on). If the hands are leading through impact, isn't it changing the club's loft or angle from the original setup?
Another great video, thank you. I noticed on this video you look like you have gained some muscle or at least some muscle tone. Can you put out a video that shows your fitness routine? I am at a point in my game where I have plateaued and I realize the only way I can get better is to be in better shape. Thank you
The point about however the club sits is square is not accurate when it comes to adjustable drivers. Depending on if the club is in its neutral setting, set more upright or flat, lofted up or down, this will change how the club wants to sit if you just let it fall in connection with the turf. IF, and ONLY IF, your club is in its most neutral setting, can the club be allowed to just sit on the turf. If the club has been adjusted at all, it will need to be returned to square at address. This video explains it all excellently: ua-cam.com/video/U3JUSHDmJ00/v-deo.html
@@michaelwhite2911 Whenever you change the loft, you have to adjust the clubface back to square at address, otherwise all you're doing is changing the face angle to be open or closed. So if you lofted up, the face will have a tendency to want to sit closed and with the handle and shaft probably angled toward the target as well. You have to rotate the face back to square and position the handle/shaft neutral (no shaft lean forward or back) to actually implement the effects of the loft adjustment.
Face was technically open? Open to what though? It’s open to the path which is an important distinction that maybe not all will understand. Also saying “face closed” is going to result in low hooks it’s important to add the context of closed to path. If you’re a fade/slicer you’re going to want the face closed to the target line, otherwise the ball is going to start right of target and finish further right of target. I don’t think I’m being picky here. These are key concepts people need to understand. The part about the toe ball going right, and then being surprised the ball went left after you hit it out on the toe, that’s gear effect at play.
Pros close the driver face all the time. In fact, I was shocked to see how many players closed their face on many of their clubs. I was at quail hollow a few weeks back up close and personal on the tee boxes. Your broad point is accurate but don’t assume pros are not manipulating the driver face at address.
It depends on what they’re trying to accomplish with the shot. An easier way to hit a draw with driver is to align the body up the right side of the fairway, or to a specific target on the right, and then slightly close the face, then take your grip. This can be less controlled though and easily turn into an overdraw or hook.
@@MrShortGame Maybe but I do. I assure you, more players that you think manipulate the face. I noticed that natural faders of the ball who really want to avoid the fade like on 7 at QH they played center with a draw and closed down the driver face and teed up a tad. It doesn’t change your instructional point at all.
Hitting off the toe will cause a draw type of ball flight (more of a hook). Also if your shaft is too stiff you’ll miss out to the right a lot and it will be very difficult to turn the ball over right to left
FYI, someone is using Mr. Shortgame logos for a scam. They tell you that you won a prize. Then it ends up as a financial scam. They state you won Perry Ellis clubs. I asked what MrSG calls his chipping method. They said higher fighter. They also use no punctuation on communication. It looks real, but beware.
Since I am struggeling so hard with my Slice, I always close the face, aim left and hope for my slice to carry it in the middle of the fairway. It works quite fine but I loose massive yardage (180 yards carry)
Hit a bucket of balls with your left foot forward and your right foot back. It will teach you how a draw feels like. You will start rotating your body better. Your welcome!
I've got a bad back and so struggle with flexibility and getting a proper extended backswing. You just described me perfectly...I do the same as you. It's frustrating because I still drive the ball as far or farther than most of my mates but I know I'm losing huge yardage. Plus, if you have trees tight to the left of the fairway.....
So true... I almost have to feel like it looks one then hit a draw swing. At least that's my perception but the result is dead straight when I do that.
I just find it funny that people like you, who are not pros, are so eager to talk about what the pros do. Or don't do. And then of course it depends on what "pros" you're talking about. But why do you think that something is a good idea to do, or not to do, just because the pros do it, or don't do it? Look. In all objectiveness, the pros are the pros because of their scoring. Not how the do any one of the many little things that make a round. So say you have 25 things they have to do to play, there's probably at least some percentage of those 25 things that they do "wrong". But it's the degree, the timing, and exactly how they do it wrong that matters. It all plays together. I'm quite sure that they do some things wrong "intentonally" because it helps them do other things "right"..."better". It's the end-result that counts. And as such we should only care about what they do in terms of something like a "strokes gained on average" factor. Just as baseball players are judge on "runs gained on average" (over replacement player) by having them in the game. They may or may not know this exactly. But we sure as hell can look at their score. So it's not just a question of what they do or don't do, it's also a question of how well they score. You're not looking at that at all. All that you are doing is grouping them all together and looking for common-factors and discrepancies. And the more alike they are, the more their average scoring should be the same, right? So exactly what sort of statistical analysis have you done to find correlations between your opinion and their scoring?
I know that you 100% understand the game and your teachings are great but you need to talk a lot less. You say entirely too much about the negative so just get to the point and then teach us how to hit the ball correctly. Please? lol Thanks for your lessons!
His content is technical enough to not do those clickbaity titles. I wish he’d stop and just call this video something like “squaring your club face tips”
Everything he’s demonstrating is to hit a slice he just fails to hit it in the video. The ball will start to the left and move right. Closing the club face and aiming left just push it further right. He talks about how all of that adds side spin
@@adambrown5894 blame it on the youtube algorithm, like it or not this is what works unfortunately. He cant beat them, he got no choice but to join them if he wants his channel to grow
See I've been telling myself the face angle at setup and the face angle at impact are completely different things because of the dynamic nature of the swing.
Mr Short game is talking to us amateurs mostly, He knows the pros are changing the loft with every club. Yes even their drivers. I love all the amateurs that watch his videos and then try and correct him. Unless you are on the PGA Tour. stfu. You are never going to hit it like a pro.

You are spot on with this. I do get my driver a little bit closed
My 8 thru Pitching Wedge shots are off to the left of my target line a good 6 yards. Any thoughts are appreciated. 14 Handicap!

Thank you for this video, I cut off 7 shots on one round because of how much better I was off the tee, following this.
Great video!! I like these “pros do this and you don’t” vodeos
My driver has an adjustable hozel. If i add or subtract on it it changes the face angle, do you make adjustments for this ?
To add my 2p. 75% of us move the ball to the right (if right handed) some of us with a controlled fade and some with a slice. So how do you hit a fade. Stand open. Aim left.

If only we all had an in house launch monitor so we could work on our paths and club face, one of your better video's in a while MSG, thanks
Study up on impact laws and launch characteristics and ball flights can be pretty informative in themselves :). Obvious having the data is big though.
When I used my R9 with 8° loft, I would rarely hit it well, or high. I then started "opening" the face to my eye, turns out I was literally just squaring the face to the target. It looks open from above, but from behind it's definitely square. I now use a different driver, one that's actually much, much older, but still use the same setup.

thank u, thank u! u must have saw me at the driving range yesterday! I hit left and low 99%, so this was very helpful.
Awesome video. Thanks 👍
Excellent.
I’d swear my Maverick sits a bit open if I just lay it down. I will try this next time I play.
Could you do a video on how to reduce spin on drivers.
Sounds great buddy

Not very
I take back my previous comment. Got fooled for a fake parody account. Your political views on LIV are great! Kudos my good sir!!!!
Excellent instruction man, but there’s no way you’re hooking or slicing your drives lol.
Haha, 95 percent again. This is exact science fellow golfers!
Let’s play. You’re the GOAT
Always scares me you have no protection for mishits in that room!
Unfortunately, some drivers do not sit square. You'll need to align it square and then go thru the process...not too hard.
Thought a closed face adds loft.
It lowers loft but usually increases your angle of attack which will make the ball go higher
Are you using a trackman?

take the club more inside add more weight on your left leg

So exactly what sort of statistical analysis have you done to find correlations between your opinion and their scoring?
Why do you speak in certainties? You tell me what i do, but you dont know 95 percent of golfers
I must be a pro because I never miss left 🍕🍕🍕🍕
Pros never do this? Im sure a pro doea it once in a while?
I know that you 100% understand the game and your teachings are great but you need to talk a lot less. You say entirely too much about the negative so just get to the point and then teach us how to hit the ball correctly. Please? lol Thanks for your lessons!
Majority of amateur golfers hit a slice, not a hook, so "95%" doing this seems like a wildly inaccurate number
His content is technical enough to not do those clickbaity titles. I wish he’d stop and just call this video something like “squaring your club face tips”
And this would be exactly what high handicappers would do to try and stop a slice, along with moving their trailing foot a little behind them.
Everything he’s demonstrating is to hit a slice he just fails to hit it in the video. The ball will start to the left and move right. Closing the club face and aiming left just push it further right. He talks about how all of that adds side spin
@@adambrown5894 blame it on the youtube algorithm, like it or not this is what works unfortunately. He cant beat them, he got no choice but to join them if he wants his channel to grow
I do not understand at all...watching for 3 minutes
See I've been telling myself the face angle at setup and the face angle at impact are completely different things because of the dynamic nature of the swing.
They are different for the average joe
Mr Short game is talking to us amateurs mostly, He knows the pros are changing the loft with every club. Yes even their drivers. I love all the amateurs that watch his videos and then try and correct him. Unless you are on the PGA Tour. stfu. You are never going to hit it like a pro.
Isn't Mr SG usually or at least sometimes another guy, or am I dreaming?
Lol who would that other guy be?
