How To Find Your Golf Swing - Lesson Basics

[@anfest]

I apologise Mark, I left you for a few years for other YT content. Having rediscovered you over recent times as the other providers have become media 'empires' and more focussed on navel gazing. I forgot what I liked about your videos at the start, simple straightforward and direct advice. My backswing has changed considerably in the past 3 weeks and I thank you for that. Yes, we all chase the next big thing but sometimes less is most definitely more!!

[@cubikia]

This is gold. The 3 ways to to find your own match up is awesome. Thx mark

[@MarkCrossfield]

Hope it helps

Super intuitive drill. Promotes a completely different feel from what I'm used to.

[@nathe3171]

Hey I actually came up with myself awhile ago. To my fellow Americans and Canadians this should not look relatively new. Mark' is doing a hockey swing. Literally change out the golf club to a hockey stick it's the same swing. Like I said I came up with after shooting a puck around and had a little bulb moment that's because a hockey shot is an in to out swing and makes you stay down. This drill and a couple others have greatly improved my swing. Thanks Mark.

[@jamescameron3042]

Your videos are really awesome at the moment Mark!

[@MarkCrossfield]

Thanks James

[@j1166240]

Great Demonstration Mark! This is definitely something I will work on. I'm one of the guys who flares to the right often when my swing starts going wrong. I think I lose my spine tilt early as you described. Jeff

[@plinbeef]

Its happy gilmore putting!!!! Love it, will be taking this to the range/course

[@pat.robert2079]

Another brilliant video very easy to follow straight forward thank you ❤

[@jonathanstevens2937]

mark, I'd love to see a few videos with you working with students on some of these issues and the drills to fix them. I know youve done that in the past, and fresh ones would be great. It helps all of us relate the ideas to actual swings and our games.

[@MA-jx9um]

What a great tutorial, I will practice next, thank you

[@scottmitchell272]

Your instruction has really helped me, keep it up

[@jeffmiller1387]

Mark, I was struggling with 3 different releases. Trying to figure out which works the best. Non of them great. Came across your video. The hockey split drill was gold. Went to the range and hit the best I’ve hit in a long time. Can’t wait to take it to the course. One question… is this the same for the driver and fairway woods? Thanks 🙏 so much for your help. Jeff

[@SolomonLi]

Awesome Mark! I just love how the logic and goals behind the drill is just so clear. This is great for me since I’ve hardly found any time lately to do any practice at the range or time on the course… Now I gotta make some space at home for me to move around. LOL.

[@raroca23]

Hi Mark, I follow your videos for a long time and the release is always a great difficulty for amateurs. Do you use the same release/square the face technique for all your clubs?. It would be very revealing to see the differences if there are differences between pitching, mid iron and wood/driver.

[@markkalinowski2180]

Thanks, Mark - love your channel. You make simple sense out of the most complicated instruction in a way that most people can understand.

[@jusbringit]

this feels like the ultimate gamechanger that might change my out to in swing path. cant wait to try it on course. and looking forward to Lou to giving this a go!

[@damienfarrell9475]

Another great drill I need to use when I practice. Thanks again for the awesome content Mark

[@stevetierney2630]

Fantastic tips and exercise Mark. Thank you.

[@us-1961]

Great lesson, thank you! 👍

[@10223220]

You explain a way that I can better understand 👍

[@georgebuergel6525]

Great lesson as always.

[@terter773]

I’d hate to have a lesson with you, you’d rip me to shreds 😂 - but your videos are top draw, this together with the recent Pete Cowan video is brilliant for feeling the move in to impact. Keep it up Mark! 👍

[@robertmazzarachio7939]

Great instructions and video

[@cogallchoir]

KZbin need to add a double like button... 👍 👍

[@rbjackpotslots4842]

If you read these comments, can you do a video on standing too close with the driver. I think this may be my problem, hands hang straight down in set up but in down swing they extend out and I think it’s causing me to subconsciously adjust and come over the top. Love the videos very educational

[@Wilb-wo3xp]

Hi Mark, thank you for mentioning being a "heavy rotator". The differences of natural body rotation are essential, especially for the average golfers like me. Hints/tips like: Change your rotation or close the clubface in the backswing would wreck my swing completely. Different golfers, different needs. My swing: heavy rotation, low tilt, steep angle of attack, causing a natural fade

[@gregboggs4721]

Are you using the ZX4 in the video? Great lesson.

[@MarkCrossfield]

Yes sir

[@enzy6434]

There's another good variation of this drill where you put the shaft across your shoulders instead of in your hands, and do the same thing, getting the club face down into the ideal impact position using your body rotation and getting that right shoulder down. Here's the example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/fGWngWSBpK-pgac

[@andybaker973]

Hi Mark , i really do like your videos and love the instructional work you put in HOWEVER , you and many of the on line trainers concentrate on the concept of rotation, and by that I mean rotation of the body, which is very difficult to achieve because the average bloke cannot focus on the body whilst trying to hit an object with the arms. NOW.. There is another way to achieve the same thing...cause and effect. Pete Cowan explains a principle to do with the rotation of the forearms which if performs correctly CAUSES the body to rotate. Please stop thinking like a pro and start thinking like a duffer and give us things that we can do. Not things we really cant. Just a thought ...from a duffer..

[@MarkCrossfield]

This video is based on helping many “duffer” golfers. Nothing makes a golfer “rotate” and many golfers rotate with no tilt. So he very careful with that. Best tip. Get a one to one. 👍

[@andybaker973]

@@MarkCrossfield oh I dont disagree in the slightest, but have a look at Pete Cowans lesson with Danny Maude..and then look at your trail hand in the mega split drill....same effect but different thought emphasis...that is all I am saying..just a different way of thinking about it which I think is a bit simpler to undersand... by the way I play every week with a bloke calked Boothy who is your double !@

[@stephenmccarthy8783]

Can you do this drill with a driver?

[@stephenmccarthy8783]

Or something similar?

[@Criscross292]

You just taught us how to make a ‘slap shot’ in hockey. 🤔

[@Jarhead0331]

Tryin to figure why I’m overdrawing the irons by 20-50 yards or more😂

[@ianboutin4643]

I was doing the same thing. I was rotating my hands and the club face was turned in on contact

[@Jarhead0331]

@@ianboutin4643what was bet fix? Or drill? When I strike it feels good, sounds good and goes well. Gotta lose the draw.

[@ianboutin4643]

@Jarhead0331 I stopped bringing my hands in so close on my swing. It was making me turn my hands for some reason, and I really focused on ball placement in my stance. Those 2 things helped. I got a bucket of balls and hit them at 1 target at the range. Started at like a 20 yard target and worked my way up. Not trying to swing fill power. Just really focus on the club face positioning at contact. That helped me alot.
