When i practice I try to find an area on the practice ground where the ball is above my feet. I've done it that way for 34 years. Except on the hated driving range mats which encourage you to get steep. Driving ranges are bad for your golf. And you wallet. I would love to see Eric but alas it's impossible.

My coach diagnosed the exact same thing in me with the over-rotation and tilt at the top. My cues were slightly different but they are correcting the problem. The next thing I have to work on is Setup/Aim. Hitting nasty hooks for so long messed up my eye calibration / aim.

Having same issues with back I think, sounds the same anyways. Got it checked out and they were saying it was issue with the muscle holding up the spine. Recommended to do some core exercises to strengthen the back muscles. Also went to get lessons for swing, and pretty much recommended same thing. Trying to take the hand down first to shallow club then turn. Much easier on the back so far

Like Harvey Penick taught, practice your swing in extreme slow motion ten to twenty times a night. He wrote, “Your golfing brain and your muscles learn just as well from repeating the swing in slow motion as from whapping away on the range.” Get Harvey Penick’s Little Red Book. I have high confidentiality in that.

This video is so relatable to me. This is exactly what I do hook it left. I used to swing it a lot more out to the right and get a nice draw/straight shot with driver but after some hooks left I’m trying more and more to control the club, coming straight down on it and completely lost all confidence in it. Also making me slow the swing down to try and control it. I need to get that feeling back of letting it go instead of controlling it. Thank you for this video 🙏🏻

Waddalesson, waddateacher and waddaresult! Lessons are so underrated! This is the perfect example of brilliant instruction and a simple work-on/feel to bring away from the lesson. Matt goes from 7 million swing thoughts to a couple of very intuitive and repeatable ones. The net result is a much more efficient, thought-free swing that matches the body's natural biomechanical motion. Having that natural motion also reduces the stress on the body. Less effort for speed and crucially less pain. Can't wait to see Matt dial this in fully to thump the driver and hit wedges more often. For anyone else that's reading this. If you have something that you hate or need to work on in your game, go for a lesson. Even 1 lesson can be transformative (slice, sh$nks, yips, thin etc). Your local pro or instructor will have seen it all before. It's the price of a few beers and cheaper than a box of pro v's. There may even be an option for joining a group for multiple lessons or a better deal.

Lessons are only as good as the teacher however and can do more harm than good in many cases. It is the same way with club fitting. To anyone reading this go find good instruction not just "take a lesson" but research instructors, read reviews, ask students and former students etc. Sadly there are a lot of bad instructors in the golf industry and if you end up working with them it will cost you a lot of frustration, confusion, time, money and effort.

I have been working on this very thing. Great timing, finding this. I struggle sometimes with the reverse pivot, not properly allocating my weight/pressure, but I sometimes move so far forward in the downswing that my left shoulder spins out to the left. Using the head as the anchor point/top of the pendulum is so important.

We have the exact same problem with the Driver lol, I have been searching for a solution for a year now and I finally found this. It's funny, I was just watching a video about keeping your ear behind the ball, but I couldn't see why that would fix it. Finally, I have something simple I can work on. Just like you, I was working everything from ball position to grip and couldn't get something consistent. The only thing that worked for me was trying to hit a cut every time, which ended up straight for me. I can see now that trying to hit a cut naturally kept my head behind the ball lol. This game man, it "drives" you mad. Thanks!

I recall watching video's in the past where they mentioned to practice swing drills against a wall. In regards to that and this video, I realized my head wasn't still at all. I've recently adopted this phrase as my last though prior to swinging any club, "My head is against a wall." (the side of my face, facing the target to be more exact) And I kid you not, I went from shooting mid to high 50s (on 9 holes), slicing all over, and insanely inconsistent contact to posting a 48, 46, 51 and a 43 in my last 4 rounds at league, much to the chagrin of my opponents who see a 12 handicap shooting sub 50 and thinking sand bagger. I love it though, playing from the fairway, hitting greens from decent distances out, if I could learn how to putt I might reach a sub 40. long story short, keep that head still.

It's just so interesting. I have undergone the exact same swing change and I felt my whole left side go sore for weeks. The thing is, I developped the same ache in my elbows as well. It's called Golfers Elbow for a reason. There are excellent YT videos addressing that and the ways to train that out. Be aware, I had already started to develop a carpal tunnel syndrome (cts) in my left hand. Now you don't want THAT !. It takes months to get rid of. Now, I am 58 y old and only started to take golf seriously 2 years ago and I am now a 15.1 hcp. So I somewhat overdid it. But even more younger people can get all that.

They begin with a tilt behind the ball...of course, you can still lunge at it on the down swing but setting up tilted will make you aware of the topple on the backswing...it would be such a dramatic move that it's next to impossible. Again, so much of this game is in the setup.

A European Tour Pro once told me: “Just think a string is pulling you back just under your right shoulder, and then shortly after its pulling you back under your left shoulder.” It is is so simple and it fixes everything at once. Your brain already knows how to do everything and this intention takes care of sequence, low point, speed.. felt like this was a super effective thought. The club at all times is being pulled back. The change of directions sets the wrists automatically, you have tons of lag and it feels effortless and is painless for your back.

I have a very similar problem. It comes from being addicted to club head speed and distance. When you know you can crank it, you tend to overdo it, especially in the back swing. Like you, I can hit it pretty hard but my consistency is bad and I don’t score well. I have the same overextension in my swing and I tend to hit it left and bend it left (I’m a lefty). So because I’m long, and also inaccurate, it goes way off line. When I have good days, and I don’t overextend I actually hit it farther and with a little draw. I play only a few times a year so I have a hard time building consistency. This video will help me a lot. Thanks for this.

I really like that you ask, "How do I know if im over doing it (it being your changing the swing)"! WaddaQuestion! Learning alot just from the questions and answers, even though I cant use swing mechanics because my swing is nothing like yours lol

that pain in the inner elbow is called 'golfer's elbow.' I got it from work loading trucks, and it is noticable when I play golf.

Your channel has helped me a lot…maybe I can return the favor. I had many right elbow problems and they went away when I got less steep and got the sequence from the ground better. You are swinging at tour speeds too…absolutely awesome. One of your best vids.

Thank you so much for this video lesson! This is the exact same issue I struggle with off the tee box. Great iron player with a natural draw swing. I just can’t find a way to avoid hooking left on a consistent basis. 14:58

@15:45-16:55 is the perfect explanation for why every golfer with a good swing needs to find the right pro to give them the “key” tip fix the problem chain reaction. This year I was finally able to break 80 but my driver was unpredictable with a push slice. Found a pro locally and in my first lesson he gave me one grip change and one drill to work on. 3 weeks later with practice I’ve for the most part eliminated the slice and now have my baby draw back. Don’t waste another season messing about with YT tips, see the pro that can properly analyze the swing

Perfectly stated. STOP WITH THE KZbin SWING ADVICE! 99.9% of people will misdiagnose their mechanic because no understanding of the chain of events in a golf swing. They’ll find a fix which is wrong for them. Then they will implement it wrong. So the wrong fix for the wrong diagnosis implemented wrong. This is disaster. Then they give up on that tip and find another. The residue of the prior tip is still in their swing. They didn’t video anything. Just going on feel not real. Repeat endlessly. But you now, for some people… they just love the pain.

Adopting that consistently is actually pretty simple. What you need to check is if you close your eyes and imagine your driver swing what is your head and body doing. If it looks or feels like how you ended, you will likely do it consistently. If the mental image or feel hasn’t changed then the “fix” will only work when you remember to do it. Closing your eyes and imagining it tells you what your unconscious pattern is. That is the boss of our actions. It is also easy to change (seconds or minutes) but first you have to know by checking it. I’d be interested what you find :) Alan

Face angle should be about half of what your club path is (+5-8 degrees of face angle and +2.5-4 degrees of club path angle) for a solid baby draw. This is the way.
