COuldnt agree more. There are so many junk videos out there that try to explain stingers, draw, fade etc and they ultimately say nothing at all. I think a lot of these other youtubers are just good at golf and dont necessarily know how they hit the shots so they cant explain it.

After watching that first video you made with Eric learning the shot shapes months ago, I used that draw setup with a 9 iron to hit a green with a tree right in front of me. It was the only option I had, the ball could just not start left with my usual out to in ball flight or I was dead. I had never even tried it before. I trusted the shot and hit this beauty of a high baby draw landing soflty on the green. One of the best shots I have ever made/felt. The quality of your videos golf wisdom wise is getting ridiculous Matt. Legend

Nice shot playa. I had the same feeling on course when Eric showed it to me the first time. And yes it is ridiculous I agree.

You missed the 6 most common shots in golf. The knife. The fat. The duff. The chunk. The 50 yard slice and not forgetting the snap hook.

You make amazing videos, I love how you actually film your lessons. Instead of you just telling us what you did in your lesson like so many others. Golf game is so much better since watching you.

I have a hard time believing Mattie Boom Boom doesn't know these shots already. :D Thanks for acting your part for the video.

I like to move the ball on the course as needed. This is a great video and it will take practice to dial it in. He is 100% correct the straight ball is easier if you can learn what moves the ball around. Eric is a baus!

This is the kind of videos that most of us really need. Awesome work yet again, Matt. Legend!

I’m gonna be rewatching several times, love this game. Great video bro

Thanks so much for putting this on video and then making a visual print out of it too! You are amazing

When I'm having trouble hitting the center of the driver out on the course I'll choke down a bit and then try to get to the range soon thereafter. Our range has buckets of water for cleaning clubs and I'll dip my driver into the water and then take a swing - all to see where I'm making contact. I'll repeat this a couple times for both normal and choked down grip positions to determine if where I position the club behind the ball and how far forward the ball needs to be for 'stock' straight ball flights . Then I'll do the water tests for draws and fades. Just a suggestion that helps me reset things again.

Outstanding video! Best I’ve seen on ball shapes. Thanks Matt.

Pure gold. Thanks Matt and Eric!!!

This is fantastic. What a wonderful coach. Thank you to you both.

This is the most concise, helpful video I have seen in sometime. Kudos for your efforts. Great job!

Great video. So simple to understand. Cheers playa

This is "Gold!" Great instructor! I can execute different fade shapes, but my draw looks straight, but now I can make it shape. Thank you, Matty, Joe Frisina in PA

Thnx Boys great Vid! Im looking sooo much forward to my next rangesession, right now.

Hello Matt. This was amazing to watch. Unbelievable. Glad the Head of the Waddaplaya movement has a great advisor. 😊😊😊

This was absolutely brilliant. Thanks for this info. Plenty for me to experiment with.

Oh guys, this is pure gold. I can't thank you enough for this detailed and understandable explanation of how to play Tiger's 9 window drill. I got this drill from a coach years ago. But unfortunately, he couldn't explain it as well as you two. I'll try it out on the range in the next few days.

Great video , great instructor

I love watching your videos brother. By far the best explanation!!! I'll be rewatching this

Great 👍 video Matt. Really awesome instruction. Thanks. 😊

Great information, very helpful and what a beautiful practice range.

This is a great video. Thank you

As close to perfection as you can get. Magical

this is fun! definitely going to play with this on the range!

Great video! Thank you playa!

What an amazing video Matt! Thanks for sharing. Going to practice this the next time I’m at the range. I’ve always understood these concepts from face path to club path images, but never really understood how to put them into practice. I do have a question about where do focus when attempting these shots? In front of the ball, on the ball, or underneath/behind the ball?

Never heard of opening the face for a low shot. It makes sense as you would remove compression of the ball. Thx

Pure gold dust Matty, great to see Eric again too..

Thanks for the pdf you legend

great vid! thanks for this

This is one I'll be coming back to as I figure them out. Thanks Matt!

Love this video! My biggest take-away, is that I should trust my instincts more and practice all kinds of shots on the range, instead of only trying to hit down a straight line (which I fail to do anyway). It's incredible how much of what Eric was explaining just came intuitively to me when I was a kid, just having fun and not focusing on scores. All that, I since have unlearned, listening to swing gurus and trying to find that one consistent, ruler straight shot. But it all came back now. Saved to My Favourites. Can't wait to hit the range and practice area and explore. Will have to try very hard not to experiment too much during my club tournament tomorrow morning 😅.

me too. really easy to do it, usually when you expecting a nice high handsome fader

is the shoulder line aligned to target or same as feet on these setups?

My immediate thought was, This is the "Corey Pavin article" from the 80's in whatever golf magazine. It was good then, will work now.

I was practicing this very thing today. So hard to hit the cut!

For YEARS....25 TO BE EXACT, I've struggled putting the ball way back, face ultra closed to get out of the tree line. As well as ball placement. The differences between forward and back of center are subtle but I over do it. I really enjoy the live lessons with Eric

Skilful student Matt. 🙂

watch me play around those trees! thank you sir.

I guess there are many ways to skinn a cat (or how the saying goes). Ti hit a fade I shut the face and exit let my hands go more left of the target = ball further forward in the stance. To hit a draw I do the opposite. Open face and ball further back. I don't change my grip and I only slightly change where my feet are aiming. My thinking is that I still want to feel that I am aiming almost like I do on my stock shot (low fade) so that the move doesnt feel too werid.

Baus man, I want to get the “Hardy hibiscus polo/ bucket combo. When will you have a size medium shirt back in stock? Support the playa, my score will drop with it🤙🏼

I can hook my driver just fine. My lowest lofted club at 8 degrees and it has no problem going left into the shizer.

I'm curious does this work with the driver and fairway woods as well, or is it a different concept all together.
