[@MikeJones-kh2be]

It was subtle, but I think there was a Vktry insole and sock advert in that video somewhere - blink and you miss it though.

[@silvermediastudio]

They've been on my want list for a while. Padraig Harrington swears by them, I think he actually was involved in the development. He wanted the carbon sole because it was stiff and gave him more connection to the ground, allowing him to deliver more power. Similar to cycling shoes, where foot-pedal connection is key for power delivery. Expensive for a pair but I'm tempted with the playa code.

[@ben2942]

And, of course, “Some live and learn, some just live.”

[@duffer0309]

I’m getting older and lost some distance. I’ve tried to find more distance to no avail. I was becoming resentful of not being able to keep up with my playing partner distance wise. I’ve realized that attitude was reflecting on my game. I’m trying to let it go. This video hits the spot.

[@Weshopwizard]

Scorecard don’t care.

[@wdthompson1234]

Also, get fitted for the right driver for you. I'm a 7.6 handicap and I'm in my 60s. I got fitted a few years ago for my Maverick driver. And it worked for a few years...tee shot distances starting dropping late last year even though I'm working out the same. Got fitted for a Paradym driver and added 30 yards by slowing down my swing effort and getting a regular shaft. I'm back to average tee shot of 245-260 yards and the smoothest swings can roll out to 280+. Game changer for me. And the old Maverick is still a great looking club but I can't work it anymore.

[@Robbcarp30]

really want to thank you for your videos. Last 2 weeks I have shot 96/94 after really struggling to break 100. If it wasnt for 4 triples last week, I could have broke 90. Just watching your videos and changing my mentality has been amazing.

[@jimmyReesby]

Doesn't seem like anything he said helped you😂😂

[@Robbcarp30]

@jimmyReesby sure it did, it was the 7 pars that kept me under 100, better shot selection, playing to my strengths.

[@jimmyReesby]

@@Robbcarp30 Nice! I just wanted to get a response. Don't give up. Golf is a wonderful game. Remember, practice your short game more than anything.

[@tonysmario817]

amigo, golf is all in the mind...not in the swing. look at lee trevino, calvin peete, and raymond floyd...what do they have in common? funny looking swings, and many professional tournament wins! hogan said that golf was 20% talent, and 80% management... that is why this guy is so good for the average golfer...he teaches everyone how to manage the game they have at the moment. from 95 to 85 isn't as far as it seems...just practice your mechanics separately from your scoring. When you're on a golf course, forget about your swing, and think about your 'shot'. concentrate on contact with the ball...watch it happen, and be amazed!

[@beng4647]

Mr. Boom Boom, I have never not once purchased anything from a KZbin link or because someone said it was great.... until now. I'm a walker and in my 50's and had hot spots after my last 9 holes.. Your detailed, illustrative, and continuous comments got me thinking. Your methods have helped me improve my game so hell, why not try those insoles and get to wear some 'statement' styled socks as well. I got both, used your code and link so I hope my small contribution helps you succeed and bring us all more amazing golf concept videos and highlight more products. Thank you for being a true friend of the sport! ..Oh yeah, totally stealing your quote "Sometimes you win, sometimes you learn".

[@GolfSidekick]

Nice bro. Yeah this is the best product i have used in recent times. I tried them after seeing padraig harrington using them. Wasnt expecting much but damn i am impressed. Hope you enjoy them too. The socks are tricky to get on. They work slightly backwards but the TOP side says TOP. I was dubious. But dammmmnn i love it. Waddaplay

Yas I paired them up with some Fotjoys recently too and I am loving life. Feet are not dead after a round and calves don't have so many knots in them.

[@kakimotoK20]

Hey Matty just want to say thanks for all the great info. It took me years to finally practice this stuff because when I pay money to play, I want to play - not practice being safe hitting irons off the tee. I played about 3 rounds solely to practice what you preach and it was the best practice of my life and surprisingly fun. I was just playing out of the fairway hitting shots I like to hit. This stuff works too, I was having driver issues before I started and shot a 95 lol. 36 holes later my scores were 40 and 39.

Course management was the key for my massive improvement last year. I started the season in the high 90's. By late November, i finished the season with a personal best 81. I have every confidence i will be dipping into the 70s at some point in '24.

[@GolfSidekick]

But playa i have been told that high 90s shooters are not good enoguh to improve with course management!!!! But you and i know the truth

[@Soundofthetimes]

​@GolfSidekick exactly. I just need to get a little more consistent with my ball striking,and I'll be in the 70s. I am so close I can feel it.

[@spacedawg04]

Thanks for another great video Matty. My last round was a disaster from a course management perspective which is a shame because I felt like I was putting out of my mind. Definitely going to take some of these tips out next time I play and see what happens. Btw, I don't get soreness in my feet after golf, but I do struggle with plantar fasciitis flareups from time to time. Would those insoles help with that?

[@GolfSidekick]

You could ask the guys there. I wouldn’t be able to tell you that. All i know is my foot pain and hot spots are gone and walking feels almost like a bionic help is propelling me forward. I can not overstate how good these things are

It had to be the best of the best. I’ve seen guys genuinely in pain watching their carry distance actually be 15-20 yards shorter than what they thought. But after they reconciled it in their brain , they played WAAAAAY better

[@taffyexpat]

The more I think about hot to start a golf round, the more I compare it to starting a batting cricket innings. At the start play the shots you are confidential with, low risk, safe. Then once you are seeing the ball better, then move to your more risky shots and then only once you are in really in, do you unleash the Dilscoops, Ramps, Reverse sweep etc. Thanks for the video.
