BREAK 80 vs OVER 80 - How To Get Under the 80 Barrier - What's the Difference?

[@Galacticfissure]

Hey Playa in chief, I implemented the breaking 90 system into my round yesterday. Used the driver on holes that suited my eye and ended up shooting an 83! I lost focus on two holes and ended up with a double and triple. I also didn’t focus on a 4 footer and ended up getting a bogey on that hole. Shot 4 over on the front and 7 over on the back due to silly mistakes. The stress free no ego golf is an absolute game changer! Just wanted to say thank you for your amazing content!

[@oldgold5848]

Watching Didi makes me smile. More moving parts than a centipede, but the man can play.

[@matthewmiller3144]

And yet his practice swing is so different! Honestly Matt these two guys have given me so much enjoyment and hope for 2021. Happy Holidays to you all!

[@tylerk3145]

His swing is torture to watch for 30 minutes 😶

[@tylerbates8198]

@@tylerk3145 when you get to be his age well see how your swing looks

[@isleofdeath]

Wonder how he does on a narrow course with trees on either side. The extreme coming from the outside will make it hard under such conditions, I guess, as the "ball will land somewhere after curving right" part won't work...

[@carolynwilbur1627]

I thought he messin around the first one. Lol

[@kinburn1015]

Absolutely love the info posted in the top right of these matches!

[@scrobtimusprime]

I really enjoy these videos with Didi and the Fox. I pause before the shot and try to analyze the better percentage plays and where the danger is. Making me better at playing golf even though I'm not changing my swing at all right now.

[@jiggawhat67]

Props to Didi--he got it together and actually shot better than the White Fox on the back nine (+2 vs. +3). I love these videos because it really shows there's only three things you need to post a good score: appropriate tee boxes, short game, and solid contact on the full swings. All the other stuff we like to distract ourselves with (shot shaping, driver distance, newer, fancier clubs and balls) are meaningless unless you're trying to win tournaments.

[@stu9751]

The White Fox's swing is so smooth, tempo is awesome

[@henrymonster9926]

Excellent video, this is the content that is going to really take your game to the next level, you can play golf with any swing, and score better with good strategy.

[@mefrankme]

I love this video. Two Completely different swings; upright and flat. I see that everyone is amazed at Didi's swing and that he still shot 9 over par- me included. But, and I sincerely believe this, but he must have sound fundamentals. And by fundamentals I'm talking about a correct grip. His swing looks awkward because it is, but he plays his fade and he can probably play it even on a tight course. Great lesson for me here.👍🏌️‍♂️⛳😁

[@roryblake3232]

Didi got his swing from a book, the book was "How to kill a snake"

[@philippealain6978]

Recognized Fox insane round instantly. Great vid, love the conclusion, 3´s and 5´s close from level par and accept the bogey to avoid the double, those are great tips to break 80 more often.

[@anthonyhaines496]

I’m floored that Didi can hit the ball, let alone play as well as he does.

[@BobbyKewley]

The white hot fox!! Absolute birdie monster. Savage putting indeed. Fantastic performance

[@Squeak1400]

I love it. That birdie music is awesome. I just want to break 90 all the time. Love this channel.

[@trevorammons343]

the difference is putting. this is confirmed. i can hit it 30+ yards further than these two with any given club but i also three putt an embarrassing amount. I NEED TO LEARN HOW TO PUTTTTTTT. thanks matt. you rock.

About Didi, I've seen better swings on the playground. But I would not want to bet against him. He somehow makes chaos work.

[@liamfrancomb3535]

I have played with Didi many times, after the 2nd round you no longer notice his swing. HIs fairway woods , short game n' putting make you feel sick, he is relentless. He is a much better golfer than he looks in these vids

[@teatimegolf]

dude, I love your content! Your mindset reminds me a lot of mine! Such a plyaa!

[@teddyr549]

Starting at 6:30 take a look at how loose and supple the White Fox's wrists are during the swing. Didi's look a bit tense in comparison.

[@Marvosvids]

Love watching the guys playing my course. Loved the round at Banyan. How did the Playa-in-Chief do at BM?

[@kinburn1015]

Didi was crushing those par 3 tee shots!

[@JDMcFresh]

Everything always comes down to short game, so so important.

[@terrywong7680]

It's weird that Didi has a practice swing that is completely different compared to when he hits the ball. Obviously the swing works for him 😀.

[@collinmckinney6952]

Most playas have a practice swing that is completely different than when they are actually hitting the ball. The swings have two different purposes. The practice swing is to check alignment and get a feel for the tempo and generally to get yourself ready to take your stroke. The stroke swing, the goal is to make contact with the ball, trusting your alignment and club selection.

[@vivekp.5210]

Absolutely love Didi’s game & attitude...if you boys ever make a trip to Tokyo, we’ll get a few rounds organised on some beautiful mountain courses.

[@philrich3914]

Wow the white fox is a birdy machine, brilliant content again! I have to say I am learning alot I am a 8.7 index and tend to shoot low 80s and on my day mid 70s. I am looking forward to trying your approach to the game!

[@dannylad1600]

Theres clearing the hips... and then theres clearing the hips Didi style

[@BaldyFella]

Insightful vlog. Off the tee using driver I reckon they averaged about 220 yards. It was the short game (pitching, chipping, bunker play and putting) which made all the difference.....and it always will.....

[@jedwards63]

I'm a 22 / 23 handicap at the moment. I hit the ball a long way, but can be wayward, and my short game is not the strongest. I binged a heap of your videos and played a round of 9 today with three of my mates (they aren't really golfers). I took the casual approach - the slow down of the swing, the "IDGAF" mentality, and shot +5 for the 9 holes, after being -1 through 4 holes. Can't thank you enough for these videos - there's no way I'd be playing like that without the playa mentality.

[@GolfSidekick]

LOL waddadifference playa! +5 for 9 holes off a 22 handicap! You're going to be winning a lot of competitions boyfriend!

Didi is an amazing athlete. Every swing he looks off balance. Despite the look, he is able to repeatedly hit the ball on the center of his clubface. It's impressive.

[@KC-dw9ky]

Man the white fox Was pretty generous to himself for picking up that last putt on 18

[@buddywheels]

Love your channel and as always, a really interesting video. However, I can’t help thinking that this Didi guy would transform his game by spending even the shortest amount of time with a pro to sort his swing out? I’m no expert but surely the over hit, off balance pirouette thing is extremely inefficient at the very least. I can only imagine what he might be capable of by directing all that effort and energy in a more orthodox direction. You’re a student of the game, what do you think? Thanks again for the video.

[@GolfSidekick]

My thoughts: I've seen him shoot a 74 in front of me, when I shot an 80 in the same round. I don't think he needs to change a thing. His enjoyment comes from playing and having fun with his friends and playing a lot - that's the message of the channel. I am seeking to get better and with that comes a lot of frustration. If golf is a hobby for maximum fun, then it doesn't matter about the score as you're just enjoying and if you win the match you are happy, if you lose the match you are happy. I want to shoot under par becaise to me that is FUN. I am bored shooting 74-82 so I need to improve my swing. His scores range from 74-86 and he is in love with the game. i think working with a pro would take away that fun for him.

Elephant in the room. The fox has a stable, balanced swing. Didi is all over the place. if he can do that, he could learn to swing better and flush every swing. he's basically maximized where that insane swing can take him. Good for him, but if he wants get better he should work on getting at least a bit more stable and not jumping all over the place. just saying.
