Light-bulb moment x10. I have struggled with ball position mainly because I've always felt that in order to get the driver going UP, it has to be forward. Now I know why I slice and pull the ball. Brilliant! "One ball in from the left heel and shoulders square at set up." I'm gonna get the tattoo. Subscribed!

[@malcolmparker2243]

Hi Matt, This is gold, cannot wait to give it a try, simple but makes so much sense

[@ronj9460]

My favorite lesson, we all need a basics refresher from time to time. Thanks Matt!

[@mikecooke2357]

Interesting lesson Matt, as im working on driver at the moment. Went to try a club and the pro said fix your club path before buying a new driver , i was 20° out to in !!! ( contortionist!!) . Been using an alignment stick to take club away on the outside then swing back on the inside without hitting it. Work in progress but hit a 275 yard pb on Saturday ( usual best around 230) . So all your tips / lessons are really appreciated 👍

[@pjhoneycut]

Oh my god Matt. Ive always done what everyone said and lined it up with my left foot heel. I slice like a Ninja and am on the verge of taking the driver out of my bag. I cant wait to take this to the range and test it , thankyou,!

[@MattBaranuk]

How did this work for you? I have the same problem

[@Hugh_Jaynis]

I like up with left foot and I don’t slice it. Lined up with left foot I carry drive 300+. Lined up mid stance I slice it and carry drives 250. To each their own I guess, but I’ve had best results from opening and closing my stance as opposed to moving the ball in my stance.

[@alberthancock672]

Very good. Matt simple and straightforward thank you

[@toddwmac]

Thanks Matt... always great stuff. Thanks, Love the whole thing. I especially like that you called out the exaggerated / inaccurate arch of the hula-hoop. This is a big deal for some. One thing that I believe hurt me (and maybe other golfers) has been the antiquated term swing "circle". Whether it is a more vertical or horizontal path, that term and therefore that image, was burned into my head from day one. As a result, and as someone who pays a lot of attention to the descriptions of biomechanics, I tried to follow a circle with my club head. Obviously, trying to create a circle was disastrous, as that is not the path a good swing takes. The only way to draw a circle is to stand up early and stay completely centered. No bueno. A good swing takes the path of an oval, with the long edge aligned (more or less) towards the target. The oval is formed as the center of the circle (hips and torso) move towards the target. Imagining that oval helps envision the entire swing moving towards the target in a dynamic motion. The best strikers have the longest flat spot in their swing arch/oval and as a result increase the consistency of their strike. Look at Mo Norman. Your drill helps make this even more apparent and gives a good visual relative to club path at impact. Thank you very much.

[@iwillavoidyou]

So calm, patient, and thought out. I'd take a lesson from this guy, lololol! Such an integral part of the set up and yet explained simply. Well done Matt

[@brianwood1451]

Good tips here Matt. Driver direction not distance is my issue. Good ones are straight or a slight draw. The killer shot is a push. I tee the ball around left heel area and do try to hit up by slightly lowering my right shoulder at address. Grip is on stronger side. Could you please do something on the causes and solutions for pushes. Cheers!

[@josephschmitt1672]

Thank you so much for your tips here today I will head to the driving range later today and practice. I have been so focused on so many different aspects of my driver swing that I feel lost. Sometimes my drives go left sometimes they go right and sometimes they're straight down the middle 240 yards. I've been putting the golf ball way forward in my stance almost near my toe and I'm going to back it up to just left of center and see how I do. Thank you

[@leethornley7256]

New subscriber. Love the content I'm brand new to golf. Had an accident in 2017 and now I only have 1 working arm so I'm a lefty by force and I'm 6'3" with normal irons. Safe to say this is going to be a loooooong learning curve 🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@lhk1951]

fantastic lesson. the focus on the fundamentals makes all the difference. well explained. well done!

[@johnbrodnik839]

Great video - thank you! Been struggling with this exact thing. In fact i now carry a few sticks for alignment and ball position.

[@robbosch3449]

This is a great video Matt. I've moved the golf ball forward in my stance in the attempt to hit more up on the ball. While it works at times, I am also very erratic. Lots of pull hooks, but also lots of pushes to the right. Two-way misses are extremely frustrating. I wondered if maybe I had gone a little bit too far forward, and this video confirms that I probably have. Can't wait to mess with this on the range tomorrow :)

[@iantraynor2006]

Just watched the video and believe you have just solved my problem of slicing I think I am turning my shoulders back can’t wait to try your advice in the morning

[@philhill9306]

Great lesson, I generally hit straight but that has just cleared up why sometimes hit slight hooks or fade pushed shots.

[@matfryer5914]

Thanks for the vid mate! You asked if there was anything you can help us work on - I'm pretty good in most areas of the course my strengths are being nice to the staff at the clubhouse, parking correctly in the carpark, I wear the correct attire and always bring all my clubs and have heaps of balls. It's just the driving, long irons, shorter irons and my short game and my putting that need work!

[@paulmorgan1793]

Cracking lesson Matt. I just tried this at the range and its amazing.

[@AndyKerridge-j4j]

Excellent video Matt. Very good explanation of how much ball position affects club path! Fundamentals of golf

[@Mattfryergolf]

Thank you hope it helps

[@daviddunn7334]

Shouldn't really be nicking other people's content Matt

[@tommywolfe2110]

Love this lesson... but where I'm confused, it never produced a slice, which is a problem for most amateurs, including me! I guess it's because you are already producing a positive angle of attack, no matter where the ball is positionned? Where to start if the angle of attack is negative?

[@kirklobb4430]

Very informative Matt! I'm jealous of those 275 yard miss hits😮

[@tonybytheway7543]

Nice one Matt. Been struggling with a pull draw and thought it was just me coming over the top a bit. Will try moving the ball back a little. 👍

[@victorgrainger895]

Thanks Matt. Good explanation and very helpful.

[@GolfNaples]

Excellent Video! Thank you!

[@adamguy8697]

Thanks it worked a treat this morning

[@OllyShawlive]

Very simple explanation. Will be trying this at the range next time. I worry my spin will be up as my angle of attack will be neutral / down if i move the ball back though 🤔

[@billbonnington7916]

Very good Matt, will give this a crack on Sunday.

[@BenDaley-s4i]

Great video again Matt, I did have a light bulb moment I have the ball to far forward. Could you do the same video with wedges and iron by any chance? 👍👍

[@marvinbluedorn3321]

Would love to see a video about some drills or some helpful tips on being able to stay down thru impact of the golf ball. Early extension is killing my golf game and it came out of nowhere. Granted I've only been golfing about a year.

[@Eqnotalent]

Holy shit, the first video on YT talking about glancing blow and why 90% of golfers slice even with a strong grip. Club face is easy fix, club path is why so many amateurs hit slices.

[@markmark5488]

Thanks, Matt. I’ll be trying this out on Friday. What worries me about my swing though is my angle of attack, which is nowhere near the 5 or 6 degree you get. Consequently, I get too much backspin and lose distance. I also find myself pulling weird shapes at address to try to increase shoulder angle and angle of attack. Do you have any tips to help me overcome these problems? Cheers, Mark

[@MrYoliss]

Wow what a great lesson Ty so much

[@wescopeland1]

I’m new here! Trying to work on a slice and I’m never sure how close I need to be to the ball. Sometimes I feel like I’m too far away and being too far over the ball doesn’t feel right either. Can’t find a good sweet spot. 😢

[@samanthagames1023]

I haven't even seen the video yet but whatever the advice is, I think you should try it on the golf course Matthew because every time I see one of your course vlogs your drives are all over the bloody place. 👌

[@stephenrichards7671]

What does this mean for the other clubs? Should I be changing the ball position for all of them?

Hi Matt, thanks fro more good input. Question: If you set up for a so called "Mini Driver" do you do anything different to 'regular' driver???

[@marklynd2039]

Very interesting matt , something I've been tinkering with and I've hit some good shots from the same spot your suggesting your not only professional in UK saying this either so I know it's not just fact it's science handy to know , any suggestions for speed is it more a rhythm and hitting through and not trying to over hit it or what ?

[@chrisduxberry8327]

Hi Matt enjoying your latest videos breaking down swing set ups. I have always and still do have trouble getting any distance from 58deg wedge I’m lucky to get 15-25 yards. I carry a 52 (90-105y) but my 58 nothing?

[@achilleze]

where do you position the ball for your irons?

What are the chances of this video coming out today as I was trying to figure out what happened to my swing, I have been pulling the ball like crazy lately............can't wait to hit the range and refocus on my setup and swing. Thanks Matt

[@LeeGoodchild]

Matt !!!! I need your help. Ground force it would be greatly appreciated if you did a video on ground force

[@afriendtoleanon3401]

as you move the ball back you should tee lower correct ? this will also lower angle of attack . Should you use a higher loft driver ? This is what i struggle with . i have moved my right foot back to come more from the inside so that i can keep it higher on the tee but im tempted to get a 12.5 driver move it back in my stance and tee it lower . Im not flexible and my 3 wood goes farther because if i hit my driver it slices way right . I have manages to hit like 250 at times with right foot back but i would rather just have the ball back more i think .

[@stuartyboy8301]

I have no idea what I’m doing with driver. I generally hit 160-180 yard carry. Sometimes left, sometimes right and sometimes straight up in the air 😂

[@jeremymac3]

You have the hole surrounded then. Congratulations

[@atfinthehouse8631]

Good video. Though nothing really matters post impact of the golf club head with the ball. It’s just an indicator of where you might be going through the ball. It does nothing post impact a nanosecond after the impact.

[@kicks2fast]

Without moving the ball more towards or left foot wouldn't we be hitting down on the ball and not up on it?

[@rossadamdixon]

D-Plane is so key to understanding the golf swing and helping fix issues. The majority of people play the driver too far forward and this only encourages the path to go further across.

[@ChrisWalton-t6q]

Amazing video thank you, will definitely be checking mine out.

[@Vnam72]

Good lesson. What would be additionally useful is explaining how this impacts impact position. I think it's harder for us mortals to manage as when we hit the ball we should (in theory) have open hips and probably slightly open tilted shoulders so it means returning to the ball in a different position.

[@Mattfryergolf]

There is a lesson about impact on the channel from a few weeks ago

I am confused. In this video "Hit A PERFECT DRAW EVERYTIME With This 1 SIMPLE Tweak! (Golf Driver Swing Tip)" you aligned the ball with your lead foot. this video you aligned the ball just inside your lead foot (heel). So...?

[@dougmapes7858]

You take so long to get to the point.

[@emilgabl9069]

You might be hitting the ball instead of swinging like the ball is not there. When you hit you manipulate things which cause fat shots and hooks. You could also have head down to long after you hit it so then your hands and arms will get way out front and snap around your body causing a hook. Your grip is also too strong. You have to weaken that left hand on club and get the right hand more on top. Try swinging the club like your taking a practice swing then step up to the ball and you do your golf swing at the ball without “hitting” at it. Think swinging through it. The point there is a difference between “hitting” at a golf ball and “swinging” through the ball. Look it up it might help you because it helped me.

[@JCMusgrove]

You wanna hit the ball better dont listen to this guy hes absolutely wrong lol

[@josephroberts6865]

I actually hope you’re not serious. You changed the ball position by maybe one ball back from your heel position and are trying to convince us it will make that huge a difference? You already admitted the hoola-hoop is much smaller than the actual swing arc. In an inch and a half it isn’t going to make that much difference. The club will move on a very straight path for the inch and a half. If people want to hit the ball straight and long, getting the swing on plane so that it approaches the ball down the line or near down the desired club path line with the face toward the target will certainly help players to hit it longer and straighter that a one ball position change.

[@jaybee4190]

this is why you shouldn't listen to youtube golf. this guy tells you not to put it by your forward foot instep and makes up this fake demo with an outside in swing path(that is the incorrect path obviously)with his hula hoop pushed too far out...to show why having the ball forward is bad. Then...if anyone is oaying attention what he does on the last shot...he sets up properly (with ball off his foreward instep) and hits it perfectly! lmaooo
