[@simranm732]

out of everyone on youtube, your advice is actually helping me improve my game. thanks for teaching me man, you're an awesome coach

[@darrensean8080]

I know im randomly asking but does someone know a way to get back into an instagram account? I was dumb lost the account password. I would love any help you can give me.

[@RS-oj6bo]

This is some of the best advice I've ever seen. I watched this one evening and went out and played the next day, and I played better than I have in years.

[@timruffner6788]

This "no-hands" advice is pure gold to me. I've been a "handsy" player for a long time and it's been very difficult to stay consistent. Thanks for the kick in the @$$! I look forward to much more consistent ball striking and better scores this season. Love your teaching style, too! Simple, honest, and practical. Keep up the great work!

[@futureman69]

This is fantastic. You provide more insight into the golf swing in 7 and half minutes than most instructors do in a 100 videos. Thanks!

[@jbacker1190]

"To help you game...To help your life...Not jokin around here." Love this! Your break down is so easy to follow and feel. Then you put it into practice. Your vids have become my "crack"!!!

[@samharpold5156]

Really glad you posted this video. I've been really struggling my last 3-4 times out, and a good friend of mine said he's thinking it has to be something with my hands thats causing me to struggle the way I am. This video couldn't have come at a better time! Lefty Struggle is REAL!

[@timwelch6238]

I’ve been so close to shooting par this year, but just never could quite make it happen. Today I was having some trouble on the first few holes and suddenly remembered this video from yesterday and it really helped me to be more consistent. Might lose a few yards, but accuracy was so much better. I finally met my goal and actually surpassed it with a 2 under par. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and keep up the great work!

[@mas465190]

"...to help your life." Brilliant!!

[@Cobaltcrusher522]

I had a sever case of the shank's and this vid put me right back on track! There's a lot of golf tutorial content on youtube but yours is by far the most helpful for the average person. Most tour pro's understand the golf swing well but they don't understand how people interpret their lessons. They will give a long lecture on where the right elbow should be, what the left wrist should do, etc, etc and most people over exaggerate these motions and concentrate too much on a minute part of the golf swing, further exacerbating their own swing problems. You explain the information in a way that is so simple and direct people have a much smaller chance of interpreting it in a way that creates swing flaws. Thanks for all the awesome content!

[@thomasfraser9072]

Great advice as usual! Absolutely become anti hands; get the feeling of holding back the release of the hands; and lastly secure the Vs pointing at the trail shoulder just as Arnold Palme told us years ago to in order to have the club head at the perfect angle with our spine at takeaway. And lastly remember to always accelerate our club through the ball as our body rotates to its finish. Cheers

[@rickcudmore8156]

Danny Maude has video showing the same thing with the club face being parallel to the spine tilt on the back swing and on the follow through. I have been hooking the ball this year and I think it's from too much hands.

[@joefilipelli3867]

Just subscribed.. your energy is infectious and your knowledge is easily comprehedable... thank you my friend, hit em long and strait!!

[@Digital_Photog1995]

Thank you! My swing has over active hands for sure. This advise should help my crazy game get better.

[@dustinmartin4621]

Best video ever made!! This needs to be talked about more than it does

[@ej9315]

This video absolutely transformed my irons. I had no idea what I was doing wrong until I started doing this. Thank you for the best contact I've ever had!

[@goulet77]

Dropped 4 strokes first time out with this on the mind. Good stuff and very helpful. Oh and the purest sound ever! 👍🏻

[@Mitch1977]

Damn right it helps! Your the best Matt. I’ll refer back to these little jewels when the swing gets a little funky. Then bam! Right back where it should be. Thanks so much sir!

[@arnoldvongvirath2503]

weekend golfer listen to Matt, he's correct 100%

[@wrtii2101]

Bro..this video/advice has changed my game! This is such a good base to go back to when I start to make errors in my game. I can tell when my hands start getting noisy. Such a simple thing to fall back on. All I have to remember is hands back straight (helps me from breaking my left arm too)...and bring my hands up to around my ear. I've been practicing what you preach....Today I shot a 75..my best round ever! I like it..you keep it simple...

[@karlwoolley9092]

...to help your game and help your life. Brilliant. Love your work, man. Truly.

[@anthonyandrea3968]

Matt when u teach, the golf game makes so much sense. Lots of lesson content on KZbin, but you sir are at the top of my list. I even bought the Mazal because of you !

[@alexwulf677]

That is exactly my problem at the moment. Great vid, thank you! Cheers from Lübeck, Germany.

[@matthewrmusarra]

i feel like i discovered this recently while practicing and it has totally transformed my swing....then i watched this video and you reaffirmed - thank you! your content is amazing matt!

[@DirkMade]

Love your enthusiasm! And we need more podcasts - finished them all on a couple recent plane flights.

[@sathig4759]

this is what ive been wanting to know, thanks mate, super video

[@roytindall6730]

All your videos are really helping my game. Thank you so much

[@fatsiddog]

I played that coarse on vacation one year. Loved it!

[@kennionjohnson4167]

My hands are very active (now I should say used to be) will try this as it makes pure sense and will make life easier

[@DksPantherPride]

Agreed! Same thing applies with putting. Shoulders power everything. Golf is simple! It’s so simple it’s hard. Grip, aim, setup and tempo. “Master” these before you think you’re good to go.

[@gtownboss5045]

Bub, you have helped me more with my swing and game than any other boring online coach I’ve watched. I’ve been crushing my irons, and my short game has gone from puke to hell yes! Thank you and keep making these awesome videos

[@dabatmaniamoutthed7975]

Great tip for today coach I'm going to share this one with my buddy who just can stop using to much hands I call him Spirit fingers lol

[@roastedgerkin]

I keep saying it and I`ll say it again, thank you for your boundless energy

[@jamesricci4210]

This guy is great. SIMPLE to understand and learn.

[@johncrazy8756]

superb video...very intuitive! has lower my scores significantly!! thanks!!!

[@mikeschiavoni5973]

Your club starting position helped me be more consistent. My good iron shots feel as you describe. Low motion and lots of legs and right hand!

[@zekem7896]

I agree with you 1000% this one thing changed my game more than anything! ! To bad it took 15 years to figure it out👍🏻

[@markcolello5379]

funny antics. great advice. my dispersion was less and it is true that the the lower body takes of an active role, like it is should. this equals more organic power

[@bigcheetah987]

This has been, by far, the single most valuable suggestion that I've added to my swing. In the span of 2 hours, I started hitting pure shots and probably added 30 yards to most of my irons. The exception is my 3 iron. I can hit my 5 iron about 200 but I can't get my 3 iron to go any further than that. Your tips are the easiest to integrate in practice, keep them coming!

[@gerardoconnor7148]

Great advice no one else talks about this ultra important facet of the swing

[@CaptainAmeri_Dad]

This is what I need to work on. It’s about 50% of the time I notice my hands being a little more active than they should be. I have to practice this more to make it natural to not do too much. Thanks bud.

[@victorgwynn6588]

Great advice bro. Thanks!

[@dads2006gt]

Always learn something watching your videos. Thank you!!

[@dondasher58]

Hahaha your killing me with energy! Good points and great delivery👍🏼

Great vid, nice reminder for me Thx!!

[@horacejohnson6608]

Great Coaching! Thank's!

[@pushyred]

Awesome video! I think you just explained why I can shoot a 43 on the front and a 54 on the back. Much love!

[@MrAbrazor]

Very true ! Thanks a lot !

[@slomotion1028]

I'm cracking up at the fact you keep looking back at the tee. I can relate. I'm a morning ranger at a course, and when I make some rounds, I'll take a couple balls with me, find a quiet part of the course, and practice from 150. I'm constantly looking back at the tee for golfers.....lol

[@tpdtopcop2010]

great video.. gonna try this tip!

[@rectolee2584]

Good morning thanks I’m going to driving range now and enjoy your weekend Mr. Matt 🏌️‍♂️🏌️‍♂️

[@MikeSmith-pe2cn]

I'm late to to the party, but my best rounds of golf last year, were due to not using my hands to rotate the club. My irons and wedges were spot on, and I improved my GIR too. It's true, if you're a pro and all you do is practice, you can use your hands all you want, but for the rest of us...we gotta settle them puppies down! Love the energy you bring to all your videos. Great work!

[@ElanBrio]

This with a nice and easy swing has helped me cut a couple strokes . I have gotten to the green on shots quicker instead of mis hits . I have actually gotten a chance to two put . Now making those two putts are my focus now

[@golfnutt1969]

This guy is great. Even if you don't agree with his teachings or a particular lesson, you'll still enjoy watching his videos.

[@christopherlook9226]

I totally agree with you! But I have a hard time not using my hands. Sometimes it happens without me even knowing it except for the bad shot that follows.

[@ZaxDrumsandGolf]

I switched yesterday to overlapping instead of interlock!! I think this will help me not to hold the club to tight!! Good advice it should be a unit not too much of one part of the body!!

[@monstergear49]

I love your videos and they helping tremendously!!! Can you make a video how to stop hitting toe shots with both irons or woods

[@Plowville]

I had to change my grip to quiet my hands. My old grip was not connected enough. Getting the right pressure points made a huge difference.

[@mageloki7704]

Great Video again man!!!

[@kyleschafroth4713]

Great vid as usual - I kept picturing Will Farrell just going, “I’m not sure what to do with my hands...”

[@BloodySoup74]

Love that movie!!

[@georgemuldoon6802]

That’s hilarious

[@davidelizondo3399]

Matt love your video’s they help so much

[@keestel6975]

Hahaaa! You're great! A golfswing should feel like a putt. If you move your wrists all the time during putting or chipping your ball will go all over the place.

[@DE-lt9kf]

Damn just grabbed a club and noticed my hands move a lot. Going to practice keeping them still and see what's up.

[@bobjoswick6075]

Thanks for all the great information. I have become a fan.

[@martinhirzer7768]

Cheers, mate!

[@johnfiorvento7875]

This is such an important lesson. Once a golfer figured this out, it’s a game changer. Too many of us amateurs try to kill the ball by “hitting” down on the ball with extreme force. Great video!!!!! #AntiHands

[@LA67895]

This video changed my game

[@LillMonkeysGarden]

[@RC-lw3le]

Dude your awesome. I love your channel. You have helped me so much with my game

[@bloatedsodium7301]

*you're

[@danefarnsworth]

I'm less than a 5 handicap and I still go back and forth on hand/wrist rotation. Rotating feels so much more comfortable when I get to the top of my backswing so sometimes I'll play for a whole month with that swing when I find the groove of it. But every time I eventually lose it and I get inconsistent and have to go back to the Jason Day vibe, which feels really weird but damn that simple circular motion gets the ball way up into the air and like he said- really narrows down how much you miss your target by. I usually have a draw and miss left with my hand-rotation swing but with no hands it's dead straight zero spin. It's really good stuff but still feels weird to me.

[@OTOWNGOLF]

When you come to Orlando, Florida, golf is on me. Been a subscriber for a couple of years and love the channel, you have helped my game tremendously. +7 right now and would like to be +3 by end of summer. Much appreciated! Rich-Z

[@FLYBOY123456789]

my hands are active as i type this...great video and great tip...hitting the range today with q u i e t hands. thumbs up...now, please replace those divots and pick up those balls. assume you get there early and head for the back nine.

[@georgemuldoon6802]

Do you recommend “loosening the screw” on all irons or mostly pitch shots? Obviously it’s a slight hand move but certainly not “handsy” like you describe in this video. Thanks Matt!

[@Shaddowbanning]

Preach to me brother!

[@hubinsc]

I like it!

[@ltmoods4182]

Works, I was hinging wrists and it's not a good thing. One thing I did was turn hands over with driver though at impact because I was slicing everything.

[@warrenrooks2251]

[@barrietopham8810]

Great video as can stop using my hands with the driver for some reason, will try to practise this. Ps do you have a link for the golf glove please? Cheers

[@jesselagace6767]

I have a question about strength and how it relates to a left or right handed golf swing. Im a right hand dominant person, but have always played golf, hockey, and batted left because it felt most natural. however, other coordinated left handed movements like throwing feels completely foreign and the general strength of my left side feels a lot weaker than my right side. Does a left handed golfer not get the most out of his swing if he's generally weaker from his left side? Same thing I've seen drills where you swing with the left hand with say a pitching wedge but that doesn't feel natural. It's the motion that feels more natural swinging left. Thanks

[@TrojanMars1]

Good suggestions. Q: can you make a video on divot vs picker players.

[@methodicl2673]

Can you help with this. I film my practice swing and I stay centered, in synch, plenty of lag with everything lined up with my left leg at impact. But. When the ball is there I tend to slide and my hands seem to be lagging behind and impact is more in line with my right leg.

[@jocoseness]

My wife’s been telling me to be “anti-hands” for 30 years. It makes sense now.

[@PacForeTravel]

Hey mike, been watching your videos. Great work my man! So I’ve never played Rustic Canyon and I’m from Thousand Oaks. Are you the pro up there?? I live in vegas now but my parents still live in TO. May come up and play Rustic next time I come visit!

[@TomIrwin]

Any thoughts on grip pressure? Been hearing some mixed opinions on it.

[@2manymes722]

Tom Irwin light grip of consistency and for those really big drives and when you’re feeling extra confident hold your grip a little harder for more distance

[@peterseibold7633]

Matt’s right - It feels really weird at first but stick with it and you’ll hit better shots

[@chriskozlarek8013]

This guy is hilarious. What a maniac. Hahaha

[@markymark7044]

Excellent advice, i have done this exact thing and it has helped me so much. I used to roll the wrists and therefore the face would end up wide open. I feel that for a right handed golfer that the back of your left hand faces the ground on the takeaway (almost flexing my wrist slighty to exaggerate the feeling), at the top my wrist are flatter (not cupped and open) and I then need to use my body more (open up more - hips/shoulders) to hit the ball straight due to the clubface changes. The quality of strike is the proof in the pudding as they say..

[@levivogel6214]

Does this fall into the process of quieting the hands... I seem to always press my hands forward just a touch to get my swing in motion, can’t seem to pull the trigger if I don’t
