The #1 Key to Better Rotation in your Golf Swing

[@okimike5963]

Excellent as usual, MSG! I had a coach in the past (9 lessons then moved on) that promoted the doorframe drill and bumping the hips. Friend’s coach gave him the same drill. I’d given it some thought again a few months ago and felt like it wasn’t good, so really glad to hear you explain precisely why. Great explanation

[@fatboy228]

Best instruction I’ve ever seen is between 5::37 and 5:45. Imitating that body position and motion is better than the 3000 hours of video on the golf swing I have watched. I have never been able to hit irons solid and I’ll bet this fixes that. Thanks Mr Short Game. Loved the video with you and your daughter playing the points game. The love and closeness really shines. You are a very lucky man!

[@aviatoraw]

This was so well presented. I believe posting up is the main reason I cannot transition from tee shot to fairway wood. You can come out of your posture slightly when the ball is teed up but you will top the fairway wood you attempt immediately after that. Thank you and stay healthy!

[@josephpatton9337]

I love how you hit several shots throughout your videos and include slow-mos as well, very helpful. Too many online instructors talk the whole video and if you're lucky hit one shot at the end.

[@berriejasper2631]

Great tips, I’m in the UK and 4” of snow AND -1 Celsius, and a lock down so any drills or as many exercises to help whenever we can get back are really really appreciated appreciated. Thanks

[@jrshields3]

Great video! Fixing another misinformation out there in golf instruction. Thanks!

[@briangraves9598]

Awesome video been golfing for 40 years people been telling me drop the club and push forward after watching this video and started turning on the ball and finally know what I’m doing wrong thank you for pointing out the people that teach golf but just want you coming back for more

[@Slymax95]

I've been working on this hip rotation for a while now but actually started exiting too far left with the club. So many variables, good golf is hard. Thanks for this refresher Matt.

[@davee3951]

Wow! Lots of positive comments for this wonderful tip. It's a great feel drill that worked immediately for me, without a lot of reps. I've been using a similar downswing trigger but this is much better, because it describes a simple feel that is easy to practice. I may not ever have the flexibility, to excel at the drill but just having the motor feel pattern ingrained, seems to be enough, to vastly improve this part of my swing.

[@DavidY86]

Been subscribed to you for a bit now, but just came across this video while looking for rotation videos, my instructor was trying to explain this to me, but your video and drill definitely helped me understand it and feel it better, thanks for the great video!

[@tonye1111]

Thank you Matt! Your time and dedication in teaching and instructing is much appreciated. Your videos are always spot on and your energy is contagious.

[@treyhendersoniii3625]

I've been looking for tips to better rotate. Thanks for the much needed video

[@bdownercc]

Literally changed my swing the same day. Thanks MSG!!

[@philipchan1856]

Matt’s tips are pragmatic and easy to understand for mid to high handicappers. 👍🏽

[@Yadie2511]

This was so well done. Gonna be trying this in my net that finally arrived. Thanks for the tips and keep up the great content

[@michaelcarrion177]

THIS WORKS, literally changed everything thank you so much. Get out to the range/course and give this a try, there’s a method to his madness 👍🏻👍🏻

[@Alpha718-4.0]

Haha! I agree.... Matt is great about having a madness to his method

[@jaychu3850]

Sooo good. Best swing tips on KZbin.

[@dwaynemeyers5610]

Wow....Some great instruction I really need to try that.

[@johnedwards2932]

Excellent instruction! Thank you.

[@raystephensonjr]

Great tip! This and the cutting board tip changed my whole game

[@mh_golfer]

This has been a huge issue for me. This drill is really helping me get the right feel, something I have been working on for a long time now but was taught to post up on my left leg so my hips were always stalling out.

[@MikeJones-qx7ub]

Great video Matt!! Keep them coming!!

[@misstonya291]

Great Drill, the killer in my and most swings!

[@davidelizondo3399]

David again love this drill

[@robh316]

Man just found your vids never seen a rotation vid explained so simple thanks gonna do this everyday muscle memory 👍

[@kenhenley3904]

Just had my hip replaced and will be anxious to try this (once my doc releases me of course) and see if it helps get me back in the groove come this Spring! Great video!

[@frankcanzanella6753]

I once knew someone who had a hip replacement and the doctor said that if he ran a marathon that it would be the last time he could do it. I guess golf isn’t as demanding on the joints. Titanium implants are a blessing to people suffering a lack of mobility. I hope you are patient getting very active.

[@dmp327]

wow...I was literally working on rotation this week. great drill!

[@RumzDizzle]

New sub... this tip really helped... well at least in the basement since it’s snowing outside, but I was really push swinging instead of rotationally swining my irons. Now making solid contact and am able to drive with lower body more without topping the ball nearly as much. Also my finishing pose looks the way it should after implementing this drill. Very helpful, thanks.

[@1cleandude]

Very good lesson brother thanks again for your time and expertise! This is sooo good!🙏🏻

[@richardjerome9338]

Matt great wall drill you can really feel the turn.You have made this so easy to understand well done coach keep up the good work mate👏👏👏👍👍🏌🏿‍♂️⛳️💪💪💪💪🍺

[@northeden8661]

Yes. This is correct. I concur.

[@gerrymeg4746]

You the man, best tips on KZbin 🔥🔥🔥💪🏼💪🏼

[@frankcanzanella6753]

I keep contemplating the idea of maintaining balance in the swing. It made me think that the bottom of the swing is not the beginning of the backswing but just past the ball. I guess it’s natural to feel that the bottom of the swing is where the club is at address of the ball. So that makes me think that my weight should be centered over a spot just beyond the ball. So the balance of the foot work has to be at that spot just beyond the ball. To stand at attention is a very lively feeling. How I would love to get more consistent with my golf shots.

[@anthonyacdan303]

Great job with this vid. Keep up the great work

[@nicolalewin]

So glad that I found you!

[@SC-lu6gx]

Love it! Thanks.

[@kevochanner8859]

Excellent and easy to follow and very funny 😂

[@brycehansen6205]

Thanks that’s a great tip.

[@rubenrico5504]

Thanks for my Friday fix 💉 Get them coming!

[@lawrencejackson6191]

Great f..k n tip my man already liked and subscribed. My son saw and notice a change almost immediately and so did I. Longer straighter and the sound is of a well placed shot.

[@jimwhite2341]

Love the drills

[@herbwalsh6257]

Excellent tip for sure. Thank you.

[@mikeforte8045]

Excellent, timely winter drill. I don’t get the nine thumbs down? What is the thought process against this drill?

[@frankcanzanella6753]

Went golfing today and had many very good shots. But there was a moment when my rotation was off and the ball scooted to the right. I moved my hands ahead of the ball too much. It set up a scenario where m swing was in a state of confusion. I think your idea of rotating the hips can save me from playing foolishly with the position of my hands. Once I hit great shots I begin to feel very creative and get in trouble. It’s difficult to settle down and be repetitive with a good swing. When my hands get too far ahead of the ball I push, fade or simply screw up . I hope your direction can help keep me driving between the lines.

[@blackbirds4]

Another excellent Video

[@steveperry1344]

mr. shortgame, i really like the drill, when i get the rotation correct i hit a lot of good shots but when i don't and stand up it's bad. when you're outside it looks like you're in calif., like what town or area? i live in the boston area.

[@reidbrian08]

Great video. Helpful

[@akr3dad]

Great video - very helpful!!

[@jerryheit7065]

I would greatly appreciate if you could give me some idea to alleviate YIPS!! I am having major trouble starting my swing. I know Sergio and Kevin Na had the same issue. I would like to know how to stop it. It's ruining my game. I can hit practice shots all day, no problem. Get on the first tee, can't start. I DO NOT know why this is happening. Love your videos and am a long time subscriber. Thank you for you advice, it has improved my game immensely!!

[@medfloat5001]

I KNEW craps was a sport! That’s why I feel like a winner every morning!

[@michaelmartinnevadalearnin4711]

"Golf malpractice makes me nuts." That was gold.

[@jbond1304]

Awesome bro!

[@RobBastien]

Love your videos.

[@ericdug3708]

I am watching your videos from France. Ok i see about rotation I tried even often but the matter is when i turn hips quickly and earlier the ball is low and goes to the right I understood the downswing must start fist without any turn of hips and then i turn to finish the swing. Could you explain that ? And thanks for your nice advices

[@NCtrailX]

Great video - will certainly help with my swing and will also help with shooting craps! I'll tell my wife that I'm not gambling, I'm just trying some creative ways to workout!

[@haroldsingh7713]

Hey Matt... loving you videos a lot.. thanks. Could you please let me know the size and contact information from where you got your impact screen? I’d love to get one for me simulator recently built. Thanks Matt

[@warwickkerr11]

Great video Luke Skywalker continue to fight the evil of bad instruction. The force is correct is strong with you semi young padawan

[@ragazzo3826]

Smart as usually !!

[@davidschutz3322]

How far is your tee from your screen and what simulator equipment are you using? Is Sim behind or to side? Thanks

[@dax5771]

I think in your earlier sim room videos you did not have the TM at the same height as your mat (can’t remember but saw it was raised in this video) but now you do. Did you find you were having some errors when the TM was below your mat? I know there is a margin of error for them, but am curious what made you change?

[@k.ratty.scratch8177]

As ever The goat tells it true

[@jelefler1]

What golf simulator do you use in this video?

[@donsmith1165]

What do u do if u have had a level 3 spinal fusion

[@spakuloid]

Hey - so when you rotate this much how do you stop the pull left shot?

[@chrischurchill3545]

Where did you get the retractable screen?

[@weizhang2031]

super love it!!!

[@croozer30ify]

Great tips but how about a few for us senior players

[@johnherman3261]

Good info Matt as usual. Golf malpractice😂🤣 luv ya brother.

[@johnstockelman5007]

Good Morning

[@jardinesydney9447]

What happens if you rotate right hip instead would you get the same amount of rotation.i,m curious as i always wondered which was the most effective .S/j.

[@vreeke777]

How to rotate and not comming over the top because centruficial force want that ?

[@davidbowe9999]

My wife walked in during the slow motion of the hip rotation and asked what the heck i was watching. Great explanation, all my live everyone says get to get left side. Wrong! Thanks.

[@jessiekruse7627]

Thanks for all your videos Matt, no joke I love your enthusiasm , other people are just jealous lol honestly the best video you made that helped with my hip rotation was the one with opening the club face . Helped me shallow out the club instantly !

[@grahamjones7371]

Agree with your great drill, but for me it can feel like a left side post up but long after the ball has gone!

[@steveschwalbach8057]

What is the deal with the mat ?

[@asrulasri6280]

Moe Norwan doing thats drill

[@froggiethejester1918]

I just wish I could time club swing with body rotation, to the point it feels like I NEED in person lessons even...I'm VERY new

[@thegolfgiveaway5290]

Matt: Don't ever do this drill in the history of your life! Me: Chuckles nervously as I step back from the wall where I was prepping...

[@Geep1778]

good vid I'm such a fat piece of doo doo from this lock down and cold weather now my whole swing is gone. I went to range other day and i can't swing my driver with that sweet rotation I had going 3 months ago. I had it so dialed in w a nice and smooth whip working. Now i'm at the range n My butt muscles are burning after 10 swings and i end up leaving the range all pissed off because I look like a scrub again. If anyone cares... to do what my guy is talking about you can do some glute exercises and stretch your hamstrings too if you're hips stall out or have problems like I just talked about. If I don't train my legs and get lazy my balance gets all out of wack and my swing gets super quick. when my glutes are fatigued they lock up instead do what they're supposed to. it hurts you turning back and then again rotating through because then you're swaying instead of turning some cheeks for power lol

[@garyhovey9305]

Nice Friday fix! I’ll try it tonight

[@kevinderung8524]

"love ya guys"...we love you too Matt!

[@TheDitch45]

Malpractice...🤣🤣.. your awesome

[@joebradley7317]

" Shootin craps " It's called shootin craps not throwing craps. Throwing craps has a totally different meaning. Love your work M.S.G.

[@MrShortGame]

joe bradley lol obviously I’m not much of a gambler

[@faadar]

And all those marks on the nice white wall. Actually could be a great idea Ifyou hit the exact same mark on the wall every time

I wish I was that flexible

Stop drinking coffee!!!!, I'm getting exhausted just watching. Just kidding, great video

[@frankieboy5139]

🎶 Let's do the time warp again 🎶😂😂

[@dabatmaniamoutthed7975]

Whoever came up with that up again the wall drill isn't to smart 😁 like you said coach that's stopping rotation I saw that drill before never tried it that's why I mess with you coach 🤣😁👍 keep doing what you do

[@dabatmaniamoutthed7975]

The 1 you got makes more sense.....to.me anyway

[@cgoodson1438]

Rotation = yes BUT swaying & stopping = no

[@KingHarry1]

I’ve watched a lot of Matt’s videos and jjust realized he doesn’t have an English accent lol

[@swardmusic]

.....nope

[@bobjoswick6075]

For me, no rotation equals S___K . I could make myself say the nasty word.

[@JetskiMike]

Be me, finally get a lesson after 5 years. Coach says "practice the wall drill". Smdh

[@Bech285]

I love when he says: Do this 500 times, do this a 1000 times; and you think it sounds crazy, but you realize thats what it takes to get to a decent level :D

[@zvxzbnzxbbxzcb]

It's "Golf Now" practice 🤣

[@redgreen01]

I feel this slide along with keeping ones head down has impeded many golfers from reaching their potential.
