[@steveconnolly2073]

This is amazing. The part about rotating the hips slowly and pushing the arms away with little to no hinge is amazing. The swing feels so effortless and consistent now. This is as close to a quick fix as I’ve ever seen.

[@scottywalt]

Been playing golf 35 years and this is the single best piece of advice I've ever had ........my ball striking has become way more consistent

[@CajunThunder]

Holy S***! That is the single greatest drill for making my ball strikes consistent. I have a long way to go adding tempo/speed but, wow, that straightened up my shot and is way more consistent. Thank you sir!

[@callumvincent7560]

Does this work for drivers as well or irons only?

[@Joker-yh2xg]

Drivers as well without question.

[@kellymth69]

If the club is held right, taken away right, the hinge will happen properly.

[@brennancarter9504]

Mr Short Game, you might’ve just changed my swing forever. I am someone with high club head speed but struggles with ball striking consistency. Never have I thought that being slower with the hips would help, now I do. Thank you much 👍🏼

[@bman9971]

This is reassurance for me. I've been doing this lately trying to find what works for me and I am so much more consistent. The fact that you posted a video of this method is crazy. I thought I was just making stuff up 😆

[@normlang1994]

I know I have a cupped wrist AND a chicken wing, so I'm constantly fighting slice or the dreaded over the top pull. Can't wait to try this drill on the range. Thx Matt!

[@CalicoMonkey]

Just returning to say thank you for this lesson. I hit an 89 last week, practiced your points here and hit a 77 this week! It really changed my approach to the backswing and I'm very grateful.

[@stephengriese5013]

Hit into my net for about an hour this evening. Here's the mantra: "Grab the club. Accept the club. Push away your hands. Super-slow hip turn." Did that about 200 times. I suck a tiny little bit less now. Thanks for the work you do, from a brand spankin new golfer!

[@BaoWeezyNguyen]

I've seen a lot of videos... most of them useless - however every now and again someone is able to simply explain that small detail that makes a significant impact... This one's up there... Kudos sir and best of luck on your tour aspirations. :)

[@j1238066]

I'm confused 😕 Michael Breed on golf Channel teaches long left thumb & massive wrist hinge & you state short thumb & small hinge, I guess whatever works for you stay with it

[@The_Norse_Hunk]

Welcome to KZbin, where you will get 14 pieces of advice to the point where you pray a instructor can help work it out.

[@Kyle-zw6jy]

This is the only instructional golf video that has had any impact on my swing and oh my goodness it made an incredible difference. Utterly speechless. Thanks for the video man.

[@drupacabra]

I feel like the information in this video is not fair to golf balls as I have been mashing the piss out of them

[@Fishman138]

Holy crap this was it! I've been turning my hips too fast! It's like getting hit with a crystal clear diamond lightning strike of knowledge, thank you Sir!

[@BeachBow]

Caution with this "push" move. Some people push too early and that sets up a looping backswing that comes too far inside/out causing a massive hook. Just something to look for so you can control it. JM2C

[@davecollins1998]

Just when I thought I’ve seen every tip 100x over, you blow my mind with 2 in a row. Can’t wait to try them. Fascinating.

[@saucyjack77]

Great tip! This is the piece I've been missing on hinging.

[@stuartduncan9213]

Best tip I have had in 40 years playing golf...used it off the tee and hit every fairway (for a change)...thanks so much!!!

[@dennismaxwell358]

Lost interest you talk too much

[@Nibbz23]

I can’t believe how much this tip helped me. Thank you so much Matt. Of the endless KZbin tutorials that I’ve watched (yours included 😉) this is the absolute best. 🙏

[@bga9388]

Yes push out and make sure not to cross the target line. Btw nice shaft dude!

[@jarisalmi6484]

Love you too! Finally i understand what happens in correct golfswing😅

[@scottjones7313]

Thanks for this video. I watched it earlier today went to driving range hit 2 bags of balls. Your tip on pushing your arm out was amazing. Still have a lot of work to do but wow what a difference. THANK YOU

[@JFBscustomshop]

I tried this today and it significantly improved my ball striking and distance. This tip basically fixed my hook.

[@batsin9045]

Does this work with the driver ?

[@waywardwest]

Been away from the game for 10 years. Used to be a good golfer. This is opposite of how I used to start my swing. I rotated my club back inside to set my wrists. As I've been getting stronger and back to swinging full shots I've definitely been missing a lot of shots. I'm going to give this a shot since I can't continue doing what I have been. Before my injury I was a single digit handicap. I'm pretty sure I'm a bogey golfer now. I have a lot of work to do but it's great getting back into it. I'll have to check out your other videos.

[@rbuettner100]

Perhaps I'm just not understanding what he is wanting us to do. If you extend your lead arm out at the same time your turning, your setting up a situation that will add a great deal of tension in your forearms and shoulders which will restrict your back swing and also encourages an upper body sway off the ball if your timing with your hips isn't perfect. I had a problem for a number of years with overextending my lead arm on the back swing which made it almost impossible to move forward correctly. It took me a long time to take this tension out of my forearms which allowed me to make a deeper turn and then release my lower body forward. But if this works for you then great. Nicklaus stated that he never wants to feel any tension in his forearms at address. This does just that

[@normanhall7265]

Wow! I almost passed this video up. This was so timely for me. BTW...Good luck on your journey,!

[@pidtom]

Just tried this out. Results seem promising. I didn't have a single right slice in my testing (50 or so balls). Going to try this drill more frequently. Thanks.

[@danrobb6294]

Wow watched heaps videos on wrist hinge lately as I am flipping it left hard and this is the first one that made sense thanks can’t wait to try it out.

[@acemanNL]

Freddie Cupples 😀 I knew it!!!

[@johnvitelli3862]

This is genius , I just went out hit plastic golf balls every ball with right to left spin . On the downswing I just get my hands in front of the ball as I turn my left hit . Well done Mr. Short game well done the hat is thrown onto the ice this is a hat trick .

[@fatlittleparasite]

I implemented this move in a social round this evening, and early indications show it may be life changing. Thank you, mr short game. Love your channel.

[@davidjackson7051]

That's why I'm self taught everybody's body is unique in a golf swing there are basic info but it builds itself by practicing and what works makes it fun or funny lol

[@jjordy2718]

Outstanding tip sir. Once again keeping the ideas simple and easy t apply for all level of players!

[@Deke-wy3me]

I started doing this by total accident about 2 months ago, the ball rockets off the club. I'm so glad I watched this to confirm what I was doing. Yes, this really works.

[@Rajkumarsharma-iv7wz]

I tried to hit a few shots immediately after watching this video in my make shift setup indoor. And it feels smooth. Next on the course tomorrow. Will report result.

[@markabradley]

What an incredible tip and no other golf instructor on youtube (that I've found) is talking about. Mr. Short Game is the best !

[@williamliang8326]

Quick one, when you push forward while rotating your club face should be pointing more toward downward to insure a more close club face upon impact?

[@pbode1]

Great! I recently stopped myself rolling the forearms at takeaway. It still feels uncomfortable, the sensation is exactly like your drill - it feels like I am throwing the club away from me, but it does wonders to my strikes.

[@billwatkins8227]

Simple, exact and doable. I love it! Will this work to stop me from hooking my hybrids?

[@russellcyr4867]

This guy reminded me of someone and I finally figured it out....Ralph Cifaretto from The Sopranos

[@Tall-Cool-Drink]

Push while you turn? Doesn't that screw up your swing plane?

[@jimasquith4712]

I've been on KZbin for years attempting to dig my swing out of the turf and this is one of the best videos I've seen so far! Excellent explanation on wrist function in the swing and also pushing the club out in the backswing! In the many lessons and golf videos I've had and seen that's never been explained to me before. Thank you for sharing this with us!

[@ferdieesteller2768]

push and turn and slow hip turn. for sure this will make a major change on my swing and i'm so excited to try it at the driving range. thank you for this wonderful tip mrshortgame!!

[@rogermounger6629]

And if I could slice every shot,I'd like that. It takes 2 shots to reach the green,besides I hate wedges . ..I hit some great slices yesterday,but not consistent..

[@Jdotpark1124]

Can't thank you enough for how much this has helped my ball striking

[@dwide_shrude]

This is a life-changing video. Thanks so much!!!

[@bradericksen3175]

100% agree with this. The wrist hinge and lag happen naturally when you don't over manipulate the wrists/clubface on the backswing. We could all use one less swing thought.

[@joefitzgerald3752]

This is the 4th Technique which addresses wrist hinge that I have found. This technique seems more natural plus it helps me stay centered and make a full shoulder turn during the back swing. Thanks

[@ewaz6196]

I've always learned A TON from your videos. Here's an idea for a new one...not sure if you'll read this or not but if you do, hopefully you'll like this idea. Topic: What makes a great practice facility? Specifically, what kinds of grasses/conditions/course-up-keep do you feel makes a great driving range practice area? This is obviously a wide range of opinions, but I'd love to hear your thoughts. Also.....for full swing practice (and short game to some degree), what kind of hitting mats and chipping pads do you like the best that you think course superintendents could use in their practice areas? What kinds of pitfalls can arise from poor technique on mats or poorly kept grass? And any other practice facility opinions you'd like to inject. I happen to have a putting green in my backyard in Phoenix, AZ - it's about 800 sq ft. I always find practice area and short game stuff fascinating, so if you want to cover this topic OR if you're ever in AZ and want to shoot a "backyard short game" episode from "Club 3130" and become an "honorary member" (which just means signing the guest book) let me know!!! Best wishes on your continued pursuits for pro golf qualifiers!!! Very inspiring sir! Eric

[@MrShortGame]

I used to chip / pitch into a can off a patchy lawn. A great practice facility is nice but what you make of it is even better.

[@JL-qf3hq]

Guilty of the wrist flip hinge and hips turning too fast. I’ve got my back swing on video and it looks exactly like your example of what NOT to do 😆 your explanation and demonstration with the slow mo really help build my intuition on form and tempo, that smooth delivery of power

[@edisonlouie1501]

Great directions with simplicity! Tk you!

[@Misanthrope5150]

I like the slow hip part. My golf swing was ruined many years ago when either Johnny Miller or Nick Faldo said to turn your hips as fast as you can. To this day I struggle with spinning out trying to turn as fast as I can and doing exactly what you mentioned with bottoming out and stalling. Great video.

[@inflamesdjk02]

I tried this today at the range and saw some major improvement in ball striking. Thanks!!

[@dolltall]

My best round was played by thinking this…

[@paullennon8586]

Are you arms not already pushed out to start with are you lifting and turning

[@mikeshilkitus2479]

Great vid! That feeling of pushing the club away while turning really helps me with my irons (when I remember to do it.) Quick question though, is it applicable throughout the bag?

[@notricharmstrong]

I hit every club in my bag at the range with this method, everything long and straight.

[@garykreutsberg3512]

Tell us how to do it not how not to do it

[@carlkeehn1262]

Matt, Thank you for all of your great videos and the honesty and frankness you display!!

[@joetrigger4538]

This video right here is what I needed!!! Going to take this to the practice net and dial it in!

[@jamestamrat923]

I’ve been struggling….I mean struuuggling with my wrists for a WHILE!! Thanks for the video!!!!

[@nctubbs2281]

Think this will work with 45% wrist mobility (25 degree max wrist extension from broken scaphoid)? Also… is that the secret range at Grand Pines!? Lucky dog you!!!!!!

[@P4ddyC4ke]

I CANNOT WAIT to take this to the range!!! It feels so right just here in my office... Luckily no one walked by my door. :)

[@TheMrChick3]

this had insane results man thank you

[@IIExhibitAII]

Can’t wait til I’m done with shitty work to go try this out.. been playing golf for 16 years on and off and recently got the golf bug back because of a work outing .. I wanna say in the last two months I was hitting every club in my bag including 3wood (which I was pounding 250 yds)and driver pretty consistently and I was like finally!! I was so stoked that I got a certain feeling in my back swing I like. Well yesterday it went all to shit because I was struggling with my 3 wood as if I’ve never played the damn game.. I was furious and to top it off the range had a power outage right when I bought a large bucket.. at this point I was enraged..

[@foodreacts837]

Every person on KZbin golf so many different things , Hinge/ don’t hinge , swing slow / swing fast , fast hips / slow hips and it’s annoying , I think Mrshortgame has it 100%

[@davidmarkovich7313]

I've been pull hooking or fading all my shots. I can't wait to try this. It's been sooooo frustrating to try and figure out what I've been doing wrong. I've tried everything to fix it. Fingers crossed!

[@JourneymanTorturer]

Amazing lesson in tempo

[@fly1327]

I showed this to my favorite locals at the driving range maybe 5 years ago, them coming over to see what I was doing. 120 yards to pin, gap wedge, 3/4 swing (or so it felt), 15 greens hit in a row including a struck flagstick before they stopped me asking questions. I explained how simple, them still concluding hitting a ball on the turf is subject to magic forces, never applying anything I said or what they witnessed. I'm not a hypnotist, but maybe you can be. It's not that humans are idiots, they're really just hypnotized by beliefs. Watch a stage hypnotist working, watch him/her convince a subject the chair they're sitting in is a golden retriever. Watch the subject pet and praise the chair. Then watch a challenge to their belief and the mayhem resulting. Then think golf.

[@timlemuiex2499]

Are you kidding me. I’m 62 years old and always hit short. I even changed to Hybrids to get a little more distance. And yes breaking my wrist to get just a little extra. I never pay any attention to the how-to videos but still watch every now and then. Now with that being said your video was on the tv, and something just clicked. Played 9 after work Friday at Goose Creek with no time for the range started trying to push the club and the first swing off the tee I just killed it. If I hit 250 yards I’m happy as a clam and did with a few exceptions were I rotated a little to fast, keep that drive all afternoon. I play mid to low nineties for the most part, with a goal of breaking 90 this summer. Putting the driver aside, the same swing applied to all my clubs. I don’t think I have ever had as many swings where I never even feel the club contact the ball. It was frigging great. Big test is tomorrows 18 at Indian Hills. Thank you for the tip.

[@hunterlacrosse1764]

Wow I’m new and was chipping and just grabbed my wedge and decided to just no wrist hinge full power chip with a super strong grip and wow most consistent straight shots, but using absolutely no hing so at the top feels very odd so tried doing some hing and have been in shambles. But I know exactly why. I roll it out like you described. Now if I just go back to a full power chip instead of rolling I go all the way back and wrist naturally hinges now thank you so much

[@Tenncup76]

Look I’m 47 and played golf for 15 years and for the life of me I cannot figure out what I’m doing wrong. Sometimes I hinge and sometimes I don’t but it has screwed me up severely cause now I have no idea what to do. I hit my seven iron 135 ish but my left wrist bends to the left right after contact and most of the time lined up with my right leg. I believe it’s beyond fixing. Straight balls usually but no power at all and I was a powerful baseball player. It sucks and makes me wanna quit.

[@blue24563]

Try only hinging your trail wrist in extension. Nothing else is needed. The clubface will feel incredibly closed. But this is the only hinge you need. The rest will fall in place naturally.

[@Tenncup76]

@@blue24563so I had some one tell me to feel like your arms are straight back and it makes my right elbow flare out away from my side. I just feel so stiff and doesn’t feel natural. Also been flicking my wrist at impact When I try to deloft the club and turn with my body they go straight right

[@Alan_Edwards]

I like it. I have a tendency to start my back swing with a little wrist movement. But after watching a lot of your video and one on taking 3/4 back swings, I started to hold my wrist position more and just let it hinge on it's own when I start my downswing - which I think is what you are suggesting here. Works a lot better. Much more consistent - especially when chipping or taking less than a full swing. Great stuff.

[@bl6369]

I've been playing golf like this for years. Low single hc. It's basically how Steve Stricker swings.

[@deadlymantis4210]

There is NO one way. There are MANY ways......All that matters is face and path at impact. If you can get these right...winner

[@seanhannon2667]

Hey guys I'd like to let you know I fell victim to a scam here after I commented on this fantastic video by Matt. Be careful the scammers are appropriating his name and logo as they reply to your comment Trust me you haven't won anything. Check out the reply to my previous comment

[@benjaminhogan3157]

...I like the Dante method...

[@glenjones801]

Dude you are correct and you have a very good swing, the turn of the hips in downswing is perfect (a quiet turn, NOT a shift). Thanks for the tips, will try.

[@liifeguard3319]

FUCK YES HE IS 100% RIGHT

[@ShiftGolf]

Mr Shortgame - have you ever tried count yogi style? I am 71 and it really is a very easy swing and not as taxing as a regular one.

[@paigowman]

Omg long time follower! I think the push away move by itself has exposed/corrected a decades long swing flaw. Only been one round but I hit so many solids shots that I was in disbelief after the round! I think someone has already asked this but can you use with driver? I felt it worked well with 4 wood down to wedges but driver probably needs more practice. Felt like it was getting outside the line. Does this apply to driver as well??

[@stephenedson1043]

Great tip. Was really struggling with driver. Hitting off the heel, weak slices and pull hooks. Really helped. Thanks Mr. Short Game.

[@goldengate8287]

Beautiful... thanks for sharing and dropping 💎 gems!!!

[@johnschwartz1536]

Excellent video on hinging the wrists Matt! I have no problem in the backswing, it's in the downswing transitioning that my problems occur. Although I haven't tried your recommendation with a slow hip turn, it does make sense!! I will definitely try what you suggested and if it works, I will shout out a big "THANK YOU!" Good Job!!!

[@acehaag]

Man what a great tip. Been struggling with my irons and wrist set. After this tip 40/40/39, Smashing my drives too. Pretty good for a 15 hncp.

[@jimmy_image]

This is not on topic but I'm requesting if you might do a video discouraging amateur golfers from playing music while golfing. This is getting to be a huge problem. Thanks!

[@Dkosier]

Is that a Vessel VLS Lux? I have the White Player III and may get the VLS Lux Perforated Black bag.

[@randyg.743]

I just watched a slo-mo video of Freddie Couples. He hinges his wrist so much I wonder if he would be able to wear a watch on it during play.

[@henrywalker3887]

Interesting but I am really impressed with the woman behind you through the whole video. Do you know if she has a KZbin vlog?

[@justinoden6853]

No, no, no,no. It cannot be that easy. Then again, us amateur’s like to complicate all things “the golf swing”.

[@notricharmstrong]

My god! What a tip! Went to the range and tried this, took a swing or two and then everything was a straight compressed ball. THANK YOU!

[@jamiesloan7259]

How your wrists move is so key. My swing thought was to cock the right wrist back, instead of cocking it up. This automatically makes the left wrist flat(or slightly bowed), and lays the shaft on plane(right palm holding a tray). Almost all amateurs get this wrong. They’re trying to cock the club up, and that puts the club across the line, with a cupped left wrist, and an open face, just like you pointed out. Great video! I remember my left wrist getting sore when I first changed this. It felt strange, but it was so worth the change. Much more predictable flight, with much better strike.

[@wallstreetoneil]

Freddie has a four-knuckle left-hand grip so he's allowed to have a cupped wrist as this equates to a square clubface. If you have a traditional two-knuckle or even a one-knuckle grip like Hogan, then embrace the bowed left wrist at the top, like Morikawa and Hovland, as this equates to your Right-wrist being in full extension at the top - which is the best position to deliver maximum power - and it also equates with you not letting the club cross the line which can create further issues if you don't re-route the club immediately in transition.

[@ChildoftheMostHigh1]

Looking back on this lesson it's more like taking it straight back and low feeling more like a fluid pendulum and not feeling so tense trying to cock the wrist. Now it is more like a "swing" actually. Not mechanical.

[@leftydan1]

Thanks Matt. What a aha moment that was. Made me realize what I’m unknowingly doing when I absolutely catch one. I’ll be working on it. Great tip.

[@stefanomaniscalchi4983]

I agree with the back swing but not with the down swing.If I move slowly the hips I come immediately over the top

[@noelbates9101]

Wow so different from other coaching.Feels ok. I’ll keep trying it.

[@petersmith9470]

Started doing this with just my wedges, transformation was amazing after just letting the club head drop into the ball naturally, so found out it works for every club in the bag

[@stevesfameni]

Excellent video sir! Thank you. I know you’re a short game guy but would love a driver video are the swings the same as irons?
