The Key To Matt Becoming A Scratch Golfer | Good Good Labs 

I think Einstein was wrong about that one looking back at it

@@jamesmolinaro4461 I as well used to think it was a silly idea, but I think most people just misunderstand it and take it as "if 6 year old cannot comprehend quantum physics fully after your explanation, you suck", instead of having a super simplified explanation that suits the level of the recipient. Richard Feynman had a good interview that kind of touched on the subject, but can't recall which one it was. A classic case of culture taking a quote and misusing it.

Definitely! Helps that his dad is a golf instructor and pro

Einstein never made a cut his whole life. Take your point though, really clear instruction dialling that swing in.

@@tumppinen good point

Yeah, I was thinking to myself "bet he didn't go +10 in at least 2 rounds he's played" lol

Tru

😂😂😂

That’s so far from the truth 😂

Congrats bro!!

15 strokes from what, bud

@@touristguy87 over under 23? For his previous handicap

@@backflipsaresweet self-reported

Juat got back from the range where, for the 10000000th time, I forgot that. Hooking, hitting fat, spraying. I stopped and thought "what am I doing?" I wasn't allowing for that stop and fall into the ball. I am 50, and my body doesn't want to do it...I want out of the shot so fast when I am tight or sore. But doing it actually relieves the jarring of mishitting and allows the body to move smoothly through. Mantra in my head "stop, open, compress, clear.". Stop at the back, open my hips just a touch before foreswing, and get low and compress the strike, then clear the body.

If you ever get a wrist injury, lose the bow

I’m a 4 handicap and have flipped at impact my entire life. I’ll have random rounds in the high 80s or a good round going and hit one off the planet right. I’ve been working on this and I can’t tell you how amazing it feels to trust the club face through impact. I still miss left and right and I don’t have it down yet, but my misses are wayyyyy smaller. And it feels like there’s no club rotation through impact which is awesome

@@aaronclare2682 I can tell you for ME…. If I wanna hit a fade, I’ll turn harder, and add more right side bend through impact. The hard turn sorta kicks the club “out” a little, giving me that slight outside/in path needed to hit the fade. The right side bend helps hold the face off a little longer, giving me that slightly “open to path” face that I need. I’ll also finish more low/left after impact. When I’m trying to hit the draw, I’ll feel a like I’m keeping my hands in front of my chest, throughout the entire swing, and I won’t turn the body as aggressively. I’m basically being patient, and allowing the club, and body to move together naturally. The slight body “stall” automatically makes me release the club a little sooner. My swing will actually feel more around me, and “flatter”(if that makes sense). With this swing, I’ll feel myself finishing higher after impact, on my follow through, because I’m slightly throwing the club from the inside/out at the ball. I would experiment with with what “feelings” that YOU need, in order to change path, and face. I hope this helps you, instead of confusing you. Good luck, bro.

@@jamiesloan7259 that’s awesome, I’ll definitely have to try that. I played off a scratch in HS and really miss being able to trust my swing, so I hope to get back to that. I have no idea why my college coaches couldn’t analyze my swing, but I’ve been watching a lot of Grant and slowly implementing stuff. I think this is the biggest key to my inconsistency

@@aaronclare2682 I can tell by the way you talk, that you’re a scratch level player. That’s why I figured that me explaining my swing thoughts, or feelings, might make something “click” for ya. Or, at least give you something that you can relate to. I find it easier to play my fade, but I’ll play the draw if I need to on a specific shot. I can predict my fade better, therefore pretty much eliminating a 2-way miss. My draw comes out as a “block” sometimes, or even a hook. Not good. lol

@@jamiesloan7259 haha yeah I’m traditionally a slight fader. I was hitting a 3 yard draw on the range when I was working on this, but I’m sure I can work my way to fading it with more left rotation as you were saying. I think my absolute favorite thing about this change is, I’ve always been garbage at wedge shots, especially 3/4 ones. I think this is because I get flippy/scoopy with my wrists through impact. I was hitting beautiful low draw 3/4 wedge shots. Every single one wasn’t perfect, but I just made this change. It felt so amazing to just hold off the face and rotate through. I can’t wait to keep working on it, I have a goal to get back to scratch within 2 years (wife and 2 year old make it tough to play a ton)

I did this the last round I played last week and was hitting my drives consistently straighter
