6 Reasons I Rip it Longer at Age 40 Than at 20 

Pity the shipping and import taxes to NL are 30% of the order price.

I ordered the inserts but your code disappeared. Discount was still there. If you didn't get the affiliate fee, shoot me a message and I'll tip.

Cool, I ordered a pair. Thank you for the code.

No worries playa, just get them in your shoes. That’s all that counts.

Yeah let's be real, the EU is not giving itself much of a chance. Legislate everything into oblivion

39 and 4 months Close enough I guess

@@GolfSidekick absolute beast my man

​@@GolfSidekickLithuanian don't crack

Fr he looks 25

Having as much style as Matty Boom Boom instantly removes 10 years. But the hat MUST match the shirt....kind of

Way to go playa.

DUDE YOU’RE RIGHT THERE!!

Nice playa. Don't watch this one though if you want to break 100. Avoid this one please! Keep going, follow your plan, keep emotional control, work on some shots that you are lacking in. Usually pitch shots, and less fluffs and duuffs. The most important parr of a fluffed shot, is forgetting it by the next shot

I’m a 26 Handicap but can rip a driver 325 pretty much every swing lol that dude can definitely get out to you

Makes a huge difference

200, thats a nice number for a 6i. My best carry is 190, but thats at the driving range, not on course

@@p4fizzle mine was off the tee box full disclosure. I'm inconsistent

Thank you for sharing this. It’s amazing how much distance I leave on the table, but seeing your video has made me realize a few flaws in my swing…that pw drill is something I will surely incorporate.

BEAST MODE WADDAMAN!!!

Yes the big gears need to only move a little to generate more speed than the outer gears moving a lot

@@GolfSidekick Tried it in the round after and landed so many greens and all great contacts, exactly the confidence I needed back in my game!!! It worked with my longer clubs too! Game changer!

BOOOOM - it's so easy when you know how And yet it seems so obvious, like it was right there in front of you the whle time

"There is no better golf channel on the planet other than Matty Boom Boom's channel" - Gandhi, probably

Yes sir I didn;t include it in the video But my swing speed has always been high from playing a lot of bat and ball sports as a kid some at 'state' level. But desk job and inactivity destroyed the hip flexors. other sports are essential for hand eye co ordination and ball sense

Bruce Playa COME ON YOU GOT IT !!!

I hope all newbies get a lesson!

BOOM - Eric is an amazing communicator and teacher of anything. He has a gift

Really important to get the hip complex/glute complex nice and mobile and stretched. Makes the move so much more comfy

BOOM playa you are on your way

240-270 is more than enough to play low handicap golf from 6,600-6,800 - keep going

Am 67 and 6 surgery’s on left knee with 3 Total replacements and torn right ACL 20 years ago and great surgeon on that ,but left knee swells every Day and I still play 2-3 Days an Week also 5 shoulder surgery’s 3 on left .Had an stroke in April 2 Days after Burying My Mother and Went Golfing after my left Arm and my Balance came back and made My second hole in one 201 yards , Gotta keep Playing

Feet together drill teaches the correct turn. To counter balance the backswing the butt turns towards the target and in the down swing returns away from the target to swing the arms to the target. Swaying is out of the question. Knees need to be fused together as well.

That’s good going at 50. Were/Are you a tradesman for a big sports player when you were younger? That’s some juice you got there

@@GolfSidekick Always been sporty yeah. I remarried with younger kids so today I am out playing golf with my eldest, running with my wife, Soccer with our youngest and surfing with my daughter. Also a bit of basketball at the local park and fishing. But I don't feel stronger than 20 years ago, just more dialled in and conscious of what I'm doing. Your channel is great, a must watch for all non scratch golfers.

BOOM Keep that distancé under controlé and you gonna leave shorter shots in. But remember, keep the Stimp hand strong

Yeah and i got three pairs playa. Because i love them. Upgrade all my shoes to money makers

Yes confidants

Beast

YES! Good to see some anecdotal things that work for people, but take the gist of what they are saying and apply it to you via expertise of people who can assess you. Eric said this about why he chose this shaft for me: Firstly, I picked the tour ad vr model cause it has a firm stiff butt end of the shaft( good for people that yank the handle hard in transition from the top of the backswing into the downswing. Secondly it has a faster taper rate from the butt to mid low section of the shaft(means it narrows down faster) which was great at increasing speed and control. I liked the weight profile which was a highish balance point of the shaft as well which was another factor which I felt was great for the heavier ping head. By having the higher balance profile it makes the heavier head feel lighter and easier to swing.

Exactly!!

Nah. Don’t like travelling

thanks girl

Nice playa. I own 3 pairs now. Absolutely LOVE IT. Hope you like them too

Absolutely sensual comment love it

@@GolfSidekick I'm learning, Sensei.

Just happens sometimes when certain colors of my clothes clash with the backdrop

@@GolfSidekick interesting

YASSS

The muscles on the front of your hips. The ones you feel when you go into a lunge position and lean back. You feel it ripping on the front of your hips, near your kochenbolz

@@GolfSidekick Darn, that was educational . Knowing their location I think I strained one of those on my lead leg recently.

I would say so, but be careful because the swing I worked on is sort of Stack and Tilt, so it needs certain match ups. Those are best worked with a coach. If you're an aussie or SA playa judging by meters, you best find a good coach there. There are plenty

@@GolfSidekick Yah OZ. my supercoach moved away, sad times. I start with weight mostly on left side so I guess its stack and tilt style. Can only try and see what happens. Thanks Baus.

Probably negligible if your in the upper end of the speed matrix for a regular shaft. There is an overlap. I have all regular clubs, but in the last 3 months my swing speed has gone up by like 15, 20 mph. So my new speed is in the stiff range, but I can play with my regular flex irons just fine

If the stiff shafts are not suitable for your swing speed and transition and tempo, then you're handicapping yourself further. Don't know much about your swing, but can't hurt to get some advice without buying clubs from a fitter/pro. It's not a shoe or a shirt when you're 12 years old. You start with softer shafts that will work every day, then when you're consistent with any improvement in swing, you get fitted for firmer ones. Starting at firmer than you can handle and growing into them will certainly not be advised by, I would guess, every good club fitter in the world.

Yas! Absolutely money

Yeah for real my favorite product. Blown away by what seems like an innocuous thing, but now i use them every round. Absolutely money. The difference is noticeable so i definitely cannot go back.

200 yards forward, 115 yards right. 315

@@GolfSidekick😂😂😂😂

Have that same Driver .

Friends, videos, magazines, 3rd parties with no skin in the game: rotate your hips - gee thanks, now I am spinning out. Pro/qualified swing coach: explains it in a way the student can understand by assessing how the student learns and adjusts the communication to the students style. Immediate understanding.

too much faffing. I’m just gonna keep using them every round. Game changers for me. Absolutely money

@@GolfSidekick obviously you dont trust the science

Good shaft that matches the head, with some good spin numbers, boom

@@GolfSidekick I've been told my shaft and head are perfect...

That is why you use a coach to do it. It requires different match ups. I am only showing you what is possible. The best way to implement real change is with an expert set of eyes and ears. A coach. Otherwise yes, you will hurt yourself

@@GolfSidekick 🙌🏽 good advice bause!

Enlightenment with age

@@GolfSidekick So true brother.

You are on your way my wayward son

I consulted with Eric and asked why when i shorten my swing, that the ball goes straighter and longer. He mentioned that it stops the arm’s and hands from being able to cup at the top. Swinging shorter cut out that cupping. And the thing with cupping is that it then needs a compensation to correct itself on the way down. By focusing on stopping my swing short fora while, i removed both the cupping and The compensation to correct the cupping, removing two compensation from my swing.

I first noticed the issue with a cupped wrist with George Gankas. He explained that you need a match up to help get the face square. The compensation was really complicated so I decided to cut out the cupping altogether. Then I remove complication from my swing

@@GolfSidekick Thanks so much for the detailed reply. In my golf journey I noticed that having a target, a positive attitude, and a course strategy played a greater role in playing well than "mechanics". The industry pushed the opposite weighting of factors...and being that there are different ways to swing a club, I just stopped listening to that side of the equation for awhile. That said, I notice in my swing I have an overswing and it can make me less consistent. I think I am going to try to shorten it now that the other fundamentals are down and see where it takes me. Some guys like John Daly have no problem doing it, but when your "mindfulness" is noticing it's off for you, you gotta change/try something different. Thanks for being a positive influence to people's game and pointing to principles that go beyond your golf game that help to live the "good life", the "connected world" needs good voices out there pointing people in good directions balancing out the other noise! Have a good one!

@@ryanpetit9634 Daly also has been playing golf full time for 50 years so that helps. I just did it by hitting a lot fo 75% shots and convincing my brain, I really don't need a swing past parallel. Yes sir I agree with you on all counts. Avoid all swing mechanic advice not SPECIFICALLY for you from a coach. When something is off, find qualified help to assist in changing it to make sure it's correct. I realized at an early age, through Golf Digest Swing Mechanic Industrial Complex, that I need to ignore everything in a magazine and I stopped buying them. Then I realized that you need to employ people and spend the money to help you if you're serious. Millions of people have walked the same path we are on. WHy are we trying to work it out ourselves, when the entire human history before us has people who figured it out generation to generation?? Maybe it's come with age, but I no longer have the delusions that I know or can know evetything. In fact, I know VERY little. But knowing that I know very little, is very freeing 1-3 hours with a good coach and you have saved 10 years of suffering. I was broke growing up so now that I can afford it, I hire experts to help me with everything I need that I do not have time to sit and figure out.

​@@GolfSidekick Right on man, you can tell you've picked up the "The Way" in your journeys. I spent most of my meaningful time in life so far learning meditation, philosophy and molding my life to live the "good life" while correcting for any bad programming that was in the way prior! I've enjoyed that as my primary focus immensely. I picked up golf 10-15 years ago (37). I learned my swing from Wisdom in Golf (mechanically). The guy also has a wonderful positive attitude and was just a "joy" to be around. Gave me my first "system". I saw him twice in person for 6 hours and consumed his instructional content. I just don't have the finances to see him more often and he never tried to change my overswing in person. And even with the right information/system, as you know, you have to work at it to see success, so I just assumed any bad shots was my problem, and kept working on his fundamentals to my understandings. You can see here with this tank of a player that he lets him overswing, but it "fits" him. There is no ONE WAY, BUT one has to be mindful of what is right for you specifically at the time to get better. So, since I was never certain it needed changing from the information I had, I didn't go there for solutions. However, evolution in Awareness, Emotional Control, and Lack of Tension (on Results) let's you see clearly to the nuances of your current situation. I bet if Shawn saw me often he'd probably change it for me specifically now. Facts change, I change...go with the flow. I've learned a lot from you on course strategy, and you are also, in my opinion, very successful at finding the best mental mind states, or ways of approaching anything fruitfully that other wise humans/traditions have also found great success employing! If, one peruses just Stoicism, Yoga, Buddhism as examples, one can easily see the parallels in wisdom/nuggets on your channel. For just a "game" golf sure can teach quite a bit to people. I recommended your channel recently to a father trying to teach his kids golf...but more specifically as a help to help their mental attitudes in life! Also per Socrates, "I know nothing" said from true inner experience and inner investigation...really says quite a bit about what you know...and is a lot of "real knowing" considering our human capabilities! Learning to identify with processes and not fixed static situations that comes from that specific understanding really, really saves your mental Ego years of unnecessary suffering and struggle with reality going through general life...a much bigger win than just the golf scores! Anyhow, really appreciate your tip, I will commit to doing the work of taking 75% shots with the knowledge it is a worthwhile thing to do for where I'm at and we'll see where that takes me...a fun journey! Daly and this Mr Mu, here, can do it without negative consequences, but we each find our Way, I am pretty positive its "too" detrimental to my game and capacities all things considered. Just don't quit, and stay positive! All the best again, and glad to see your success in life! Inspiring and helpful to many on many levels! ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-MF7rLHg0crQ.html

LOL, but I hit the driver 380 a few times on this course in the firm speed slots!

I will probably not be playing golf at that stage playa. I have about 3-4 more years in me

I couldn't focus after 69

Use rubber sheets in case you urinate too playa

Me too playa. you should notice a few lifted heels in my drives. I think it helps to rotate because we are not that mobile or flexible in the right spots. I noticed I had to lift heel much less when I was disciplined with stretching and mobility drills in the gym

@GolfSidekick exactly, I'm a flexible and in shape 60 year old and can rotate as much as a tour pro, but it doesn't feel natural and easy unless I'm warmed up and lift the heel. If it was OK for Ben Hogan it's OK for me.

nicklaus wasnt scared of lifting a heel
