I want to complement you and PXG on your last video. That was awesome what you did for that gentleman and his family. It was heart warming. I don’t know how you did it but you found the perfect person to help. Bob Parsons is terrific in all he does for veterans. What you did is exceptional. Good Work

[@randyovercast4241]

Great video. I just realized a few weeks ago the impact of the width my stance has on distance in my short game. Thanks for reinforcing this! Simple but game-changing data. Love ya man!

[@GolfingTheVillages]

I remember watching the videos of you using in the backyard with the old net setup, my how far you have come. You have a gorgeous studio and a wonderful swing. Another great video I really enjoy watching.

[@VisuaTek1]

Love this. This reinforces something that has been working really well for me this season. I use my 52 slightly (5 deg) open for 85-95, about the same ball position as MSG, aim 5 yard left of pin and ball is closer to the toe at address. Works for me as I hit full 52 deg 105-110. Lining up towards the toe side from 130 yards and in has eliminated hosel donkey shots.

[@habbadabbado5765]

Thank you Matt! Clubbing up with a shorter swing has helped my approach shots be much more consistent. Many more makeable birdies now!

[@spennce]

This might be your best instruction video yet! I have played close to scratch for a long time and these same tips work no matter the club. I see players hitting shots in the back of their stance all the time and it not only reduces their margin of error but also has a tendency to cause their shoulders to aim right. Even teeing a 3/4 wedge shot up is good practice on the range to hit shots level. Thanks for your videos!

[@charlietaylor4978]

Love your videos and how simply you explain the way to use your tips.I need all the help I can get to improve my golf. keep up the great work

[@Damonkeyspanda]

I hear ya. My swing with my 60, unfortunately, requires me to have the ball back a bit, but I hear what you’re saying. I guess I can try to practice moving it forward and see if I can get consistency that way, too, and maybe some different looking shots. Love the videos, man.

[@madmal3583]

Perfect explanation !!! Been doing that lately and my wedges game has improved tremendously. Tq.

[@garybattaglia5259]

Great job here. So glad I found your video. Just finished a session yesterday at the range and couldn’t understand why I was taking huge divots. I was doing exactly what you are saying never never do. I’ve been doing this for quite some time now like years.. I will definitely apply these techniques my next time out. Thanks so much for your professional advice 👍

[@ralpho58]

Mr. SG. You constantly come out with great tips. I love the change in stance idea to use as I change wedges. Will try that this week.

[@thedeeprot]

I needed this video so much

[@bobladha7362]

Mr SG: Your clear explanations and demonstrations are absolutely amazing. Watching your videos has lowered my handicap by 3 Keep those videos coming Best regards 😊

[@iz8380]

Great lesson!! Learned so much from your channel! Keep up the great content. 👍🏽

[@johnjoseph9536]

Great tips. Thanks!

[@bobsofia68]

Good stuff right here. 90yds has always been a touch & go yardage for me, gonna try this out, thanks.

[@Amartre1]

Great master class, Thanks

[@AsadKhan-lm6yr]

Tip: watch the video at x1.5 speed 👍🏼

[@Sdwj91]

Great tip thank you 😂

[@magnificentmuttley2084]

Better yet, forget this guy altogether (he’s not good at all) and watch Dan Grieve for ALL your short game training!! You will thank me.

[@dhorton4465]

​@@magnificentmuttley2084xylophone 8th😮Cy😅..

[@stevedriscoll2539]

Good stuff, I do two of these undesirables consistently...but I am going to try to remember to change these things

[@ramrat1480]

Great video, and learned about matching the stance to my wedge shot, the 3/4 to 3/4 match, love it and thanks! - avid watcher

[@mem30075]

Great advice...that's been helping with 54 wedge shots within 110 yards to get height and low bounce on the greens 🙂

[@sjuetten1]

Great vid! As usual. Question. Where or how did you build the retractable screen.

[@Handletaken4]

Mindreader! Just this week I moved my ball 1" front of center and opened my club face a bit to use my bounce. Higher, straighter, farther, more spin....excited to see my hcp drop 3

[@OG_Jack]

This is good stuff; thank you!

[@peterschulties3258]

Awesome thanks!

[@dennismoser1070]

Good stuff, im heading out this morning, I’ll try it if given the chance.

[@benjamingrams1125]

Thanks Mr. SG, will put this into practice this week to see how much more consistent this setup is to my normal super narrow stance and ball back of stance. (Watching Wedgley Bryan way too much)

[@guyhall6592]

Great drop Matty, my TK15’s luv your game improvement tips…74 yesterday.

[@davidmalone4017]

Terrific video-wonderful tip

[@erichayes5917]

Great lesson!

[@JohnCostelloe-tk3qk]

This is great thanks

[@thejokeexplainer]

Took a wedge lesson recently and the pro had me move the ball back, move the shaft/hands forward, and shift all weight forward.... Not sure what to do with the opposite advice. Will need to try this setup. The approach in this video is in-line with the the Short Game Chef recommends for chipping/pitching.

[@sheldonclifton2643]

Thank you. 😊

[@Dbgolfnski]

Genius! I never considered adjusting stance with when making a shortened swing. I love this idea. I will never ever never ever again take a 75% swing with 100% stance.

[@gregschulte2953]

Good video, will use a 54 w/10 bounce for this shot. Similar to many decent players, will play the ball back but with an open stance. The open stance somewhat negates the steep swing.

[@mikedevries9420]

Great video bud!!

[@Pronzini1]

This is just his opinion. Watch some of the greatest short iron players and see where they play the ball in their stance. Watch what Lee Trevino and Ray Floyd did, when they hit the "burning wedge." Way back in their stance. Watch Steve Stricker too.

[@hasfaris]

Thanks Sir!

[@jonsmithcpo]

Just getting familiar with your videos. You’re a damn great communicator. Excellent stuff, thank you 🙏🏼

[@larryhill7229]

So that’s why I shank chip shots! Hands too forward. Very informative video. Thank You for sharing your knowledge!

[@firstgensps]

ty sir I learned to chip with my hands ahead, apply that to every club down to a 6 i. I haven't had any of the issues you mention, knocked 10 strokes of my score. tyty anyway!!

[@trextrextrex]

Good stuff

[@garystride5200]

Always a good watch but loads other videos have hands on left thigh a slight forward set (compression thing) so confused😮 cos Mr SG plays a great game will give his instruction a try.

[@kevindreifurst5681]

Good video!

[@jcmoye1]

Best tip I have ever seen thanks!

[@FatManWalking18]

given my swing speed and carry/rollout distances, 90 yards is just a nice A wedge [a little long] or hard S wedge [about 87 yds] for me- depends on what I have to carry

[@jacobmccain8082]

92 yds is my normal carry with a smooth full 58. Its a distance I'm upset if I dont put it inside 10-15 feet. I always get comments about how far I play it forward which is about a ball forward of center.

[@tonyshans2226]

Hi Matt....I always enjoy your videos and wish you the best with your channel...I have a request...I play in a group for fun...We are all seniors with the oldest being 83...I'm 75 and at times, I'm out driven by some of the younger guys in the group...I recently read about a small golf company which makes a ball, the MG Senior ball...The ball is not USGA conforming...Their claims are that with a slow swing speed,

[@markdavenport8202]

Matt you have an awesome set up there. I think it would be amazing if you brought a mid to high handicapper in and do indoor lessons on and off the course. I’m an 11 and volunteer to be the first one!

[@tonykelly6699]

You are simply the best 🏆

[@blagzster6255]

What about a little low fizzer in extreme winds around the the Links of the UK in January? Back foot 7 iron 6 feet in the air all day long.

[@jplff1630]

Weird question, what is the dimensions of your simulator room? Thank you.

[@edwardw8019]

What you say may be completely right! I have moved my ball back a little in my stance because of 3 knee operations and I can't shift my weight without pain. Do you have a solution for this?

[@vicpnut1]

Been guilty of #1 now and then to mixed results .number 2 is a serious issue i have when shots dont fall into my club distances. I almost always try to muscle the 90 yrds shot with lower club i stead 0f going to a club higher and trying to lesson distance. Which is mixed with the bounce tip. 👍🏼

[@dementus420]

I'm gonna try the hands behind slightly thing.

[@johnblachaniec8856]

With all due respect, its so much easier to move the ball a little forward when you are hitting off a mat....the mat always helps you out/corrects your swing....little more difficult when you are hitting off grass, especially the hard, short grass in AZ!

[@theimpaler5034]

I play all my irons from the middle hybrid 3w driver I play from inside of the heel

[@929mmr]

Your last tip was the best. never take a max distance shot with a wedge and if you shorten your swing, shorten your stance. Would that part be true for all clubs? For example, if I am between a 7 and 8 iron and go with an easy 7 iron, should I shorten my stance?

[@krhfly99]

Greta tips 👏🏼👏🏼🇩🇰

[@richreynolds3647]

what degree wedge are you using here???

[@TitleWaive1]

You hit my trouble spot. My 50 was my 100 yard club, but now I struggle to get 80 yards with it. I have huge gap now with my PW going 100-110, and 9 goes 110-130. I moved ball forward, but seemed to lose yardage doing that. I don't know what I'm doing wrong if it's slower swing, or shorter swing, or just the club isn't fit properly for me.

[@saintpatrick6681]

put a graphite in that 50 if you already have a graphite go more flex.

[@JohnSmith-mx8wp]

Sometimes I'll move the ball back in my stance or put the hands ahead at address with the wedges. My excuse (lol) for this is to try to keep from thinning or (gasp!) skulling the shot.

[@dickbroomer7877]

Hi Matt 1st time watching your Video👍, really enjoyed your chat & info😁, short game is my strength it’s so nice to see a Player hitting control wedges😁, & giving tips to help improve control with setup, it’s so tempting to move the ball back in your stance when playing into the wind or hitting from a poor lie, it’s great to hear you pointing out the pitfalls of doing this👍, 95% of the time I will go to the stronger lofted Wedge & hit a 3/4 or 90% shot, it’s so unusual to hear a Player recommend this👍,Thanks Dickey 9hcp 76year senior golfer UK.

[@pt_atx]

Up in the stance = Darth Blader

[@rickvann3489]

Thank you for fixing my dang hitting to the right, stupid hands forward. I was told to do this to compress the ball. I was hitting dead straight after watching this I will be hitting dead straight again.

[@johnnymunro2259]

"Searching for your balls in someone's else's swimming pool we don't want that either "😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@craigdbrauer730]

I noticed on your close up the wear on your club face looks looks a set of more Norman clubs awesome

[@nailsforbreakfast1784]

👍

[@billding7073]

This is the real deal.

[@Skye_the_toller]

If you have a good distance… it will also promote a higher ball flight… and loosing distance… ball position is very sensitive and needs some experimentation… I tried it… and I had to position my ball less in front than what you are showing…

[@user-cd4nc6fy2l]

I always have a hands foward at address, also you have to close the face before addressing the ball to compensate to have the ball going towards your target.

[@wesleydean4228]

I agree

[@jdheelfan]

From 90 Yards I take out my 56 degree and take a full swing unless it's down hill then I use my 60. Normal swing.

[@calvindebeverly7410]

You talk about 1/2 and 3/4 swing but does that mean you rotate you club back that much less or do you hit the ball with that much less power with the arc of the swing remaining the same as if it were a "full" swing? I never understood these references.

[@SimonHoward-fb6tr]

When you play a half swing shot, taking the club back halfway, you can only generate half the clubhead speed on the down swing relative to clubhead speed on a full swing. Therefore the ball should only travel half the distance for that particular club. Hope that helps.

[@jdheelfan]

The only time a golfer needs to play the ball off their back foot is when they are hitting short pitches and chips around the green. Because that is where the club wants to meet the ground.

[@pt_atx]

The longer it's in the air, the more than can go wrong. So Tiger was told by Jackie Burke.

[@RobbyM32CREW]

i think it would be fun to take somebody like me, who golfs no better than an 80, and do a training series and see how to improve somebody like me with simple fixes like this

[@iec7587]

Best thing I have heard on any of the golf videos "we don't practice 8 hours a day like professionals" If I cant get within 30 yards or have a clean look. I want to be at 100 +/-10 yards....56 degree all day

[@carlr2837]

This is a nice video, but for me, I need to translate the yardages to my game, and think "Never do these things from 60 yards". From 90 yards, I just hit a full pitching wedge.

[@ryanwalters694]

For the life of me I can’t hit a wedge. I do ok with my sw. I wanna throw my lw in the lake lol

[@williekp1]

Don’t focus on things not to do.

[@Rifleman0311]

Short game summary: Bounce is my friend and a 3/4 swing is money!

[@jerrygibbs8804]

When I move it foward , I blade it

[@MrShortGame]

Do it 100 times then let me know what happens.

[@user-vb4tr4ng9n]

Playing it back decreases the chance of hitting it fat,and keeps it lower. There are so many ways to hit a golf ball,but each to his own.

[@lu7cky]

What’s the hat you’re wearing?

[@ZuMi_rcf]

Oh no…I was convinced at the S word.

[@kepler240]

Lee Trevino is biting his tongue....and that's hard to do for him.

[@rickvann3489]

Don't believe that's a half swing...lol

[@javierramirez8711]

I just did quite the opposite 😆😆😆

[@luckyducky7166]

When you back the ball up in your stance you are shortening the margin of error....yes that's what you want . This man is a fool.

[@erdi950]

As convincing as my brother.

[@paulh7589]

The first thing to do is not take advice from someone hitting into a piece of canvas. The second thing is to avoid people telling you what NOT to do. Go play, have fun, you'll get better on your own. Has anyone actually taught you how to hammer a nail? No, you just did it. You probably bent a few nails and maybe even bashed a finger, but you figured it out by yourself. Golf is the same.

[@michaelrutledge7048]

Your presentation is soooo annoying, but you do have great tips!!

[@MrShortGame]

I feel the same way about your comments.

[@golfyourselftolife]

Never heard so much subjective bollocks in my life. Talk about physics and biomechanics. e.g everybody’s ball position is different depending on where there sternum is relative to the ball at impact. Two fingers forward ? Bullshit. It depends on how they turn their upper body. Even the great Seve Ballesteros said his ball position changed every day depending on how his body moved. Lose the « I do this » and start promoting « the great players do this because….. »

[@CLEVEMAN691]

never take a lesson from amateur golfer

[@brandongouffon5246]

Terrible advice

[@robscott553]

Great info. Hoping to cut some strokes on my short game. 👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️

[@nerkbaker]

Great lesson!
