The golf lesson that destroys your iron play that they still teach (golf swing tip)

[@6classer]

When using the phrase "hurting so many of you..." I am a case of that literally. I had injured and then continually made worse out of stubbornness repetitive motion and shock impact to my right shoulder, wrist, neck, and back from practicing hitting overly down on the ball. The comparisons you make in this video and the concepts of what to feel in the hand/handle relationship are certainly key in preventing overly steepness. Cheers!

[@johnnursall408]

First time I really noticed -- what a great job you do in production/editing these lessons. Multiple perspectives very well-timed. Very professional. You've come a long way from that driving range one camera teacher. Good on you, Bro.

[@MikeFisher-p9i]

Love your approach to not striking down so aggressively (“crashing into the ground”).😊Also like your club review,keep up the good work…Fish from Wisconsin😎🎣

[@jeremiahmclane2374]

Parfield, I really like the content, especially when you use stats, it helps me understand what I need to do to maintain single digit handicap and it really helps me manage my expectations and not get upset about missing a 20 footer for par, although I miss the old content with Buggy Time and the Muppet tour, I hope you and coach bring back some of the course vlogs.

[@callmesubby]

ive been shanking the ball for the past few months, knowing i was off balance and not sure how to stop. I just got back from playing my best golf of the season after watching this video, not only that but im putting in a lot less effort for the same distance. I really needed this vid

[@bocajred11]

Most consistent easy to follow instruction around. Thanks mark, bring back the Muppet Tour!

[@ianbaker2666]

So much food for thought here … and practice drills. Thank you for your inspirational videos Mark - your ideas and explanations have helped me improve sooo much! Aiming to break 80 this year so the recent series has been great too.

[@alphacentauriproxima]

Another great one! Thank you, Mark.

[@alvor2762]

Very well explained and informative instruction. Thank you.

[@johnpaulsweeney7733]

Excellent video. This has had me mythed for a long time!

[@lens7859]

Gold Nice feeling. My playing partners always say “hit down on it” I know what they mean, but they will see what you should DO! Thanks

[@only_son5040]

Every time I think I've got it and I understand golf I watch something like this and realize I'm no where close. Why can't golf be easier. It's all so much

[@jimmybreeze00]

that's the enjoyment

[@only_son5040]

@jimmybreeze00 idk about that. My enjoyment comes from hitting a nice wedge close to the pin and it spin back.

[@jimmybreeze00]

​@@only_son5040 imo you'll only truly enjoy golf if you enjoy the pursuit of technical perfection. i'm a skateboarder and a swimmer - golf ticks the boxes for me. a never ending technical journey

[@FF04RDF]

The understanding of the swing is evolving but I agree that all the ‘new’ information is a little bit overwhelming 👍🏻 All part of the challenge I guess.

[@only_son5040]

@jimmybreeze00 I enjoy it very much but sometimes it feels too hard and frustrating. I'm not gonna stop playing though.

[@roberthenderson4495]

Great lesson Mark.

[@SolomonLi]

What a great breakdown! Thank you Mark! So good…

[@jvstockman1]

Great video. Going to practice this today because I have been chunking a lot lately. Thanks

[@jonathanthomason7896]

Such good stuff. Understanding this will help with swing direction and face/path.

[@jonathanstevens2937]

Yes. Just, yes. You, Paddy H, Monte, AMG, there are a few others, but still far too few. These thoughts were natural to me and then beaten out of me by the "fire the hips and turn through, bruh" crowd. 7 years back playing and I'm finally beginning to be able to do it again.

[@christopherbrown1326]

Absolutely brilliant video this is gold.

[@easyswing007]

More stuff to think about i hope I get it right this time 😊

[@MrTylor91]

I started ripping little draws when I started think of re cantering on the way back and handle up and left through impact

[@GrumpyGolf4]

Is it possible to be a single digit handicapper while predominantly picking the ball clean and taking few divots? When I’m making good contact, I’ve never been successful taking a divot, but I do tend to hit the ball first and take a very small divot ( more like a bruise of the turf). The rest of the time I’m hitting behind the ball. I’ve basically given up on trying to take a divot.

[@adambeckett5346]

Inconvenient emergency SOS call at 2:34 😅

[@gregormckinney621]

Have you seen the video Pete Locket did where they tried to hit up on the ball and they couldn't do it. It was all about ball position.

[@allenwelden7099]

Great stuff, now i just need some tips on how to perform at 8am tee times lol

[@fuquanali]

As a teen taking up the game I was taught to “imagine pulling down on a rope” at the top of the backswing. Anyone else? Hit my floor as a single digit hdcp. Now 50 and working hard on this move. This is not an overnight fix… but I’m all in

[@darrenhesketh8355]

Mark you are my personal Jesus. Thank you my man

[@Big-Crow]

Hit down and take a divot. Hit square and swing to the right

[@chrisjuhl801]

Descending blow. Chages the mind set..,

[@domino6567]

And what about Justin Rose's rehearsal ?

[@MarkCrossfield]

What about? He is NOT cheating swing physics. 👍

[@domino6567]

@@MarkCrossfield Agree, he is NOT cheating swing physics but he pumps down hard in his pre-shot routine.

[@brentwoods4802]

@@domino6567 It’s just a feel of his, and exaggerated move. Pros do this stuff all the time. He does not do that when he actually hits the ball.

[@chrisjackson1266]

"You want the low point of the swing after ball" somehow turned into "hit down on the ball".

[@Johnp3525]

Mark, your video titles have started to become a bit dark. Still love the content though!

[@GreenDistantStar]

Yet it's Lee Trevino's go-to advice, and to play the ball back in your stance. Disagree with it and mountains of Trevino fans will remind you of his greatness and your lack of it. The history of golf is full of contradictory advice from great players and coaches, I have a literal library of golf-related books and magazines collected over 40 years. Each will assure you that their advice is based upon sound biomechanics. So what's the answer, who is right and who is wrong, and why?

[@ajaytuk7416]

and all for free......

[@Brolicherbs]

I love your videos, but the vignetting is killing me

[@benwilliams4341]

So you want me to believe that all those tour pros using trackman with a negative AOA and puring 7iron 190 in the air are wrong and youre right? Your video describes and cures bad sequencing, not so much AOA

[@MarkCrossfield]

I am guessing you didn’t watch the video. If you did watch the video then I have no idea what you are saying. All in all I wish you well. 👍

[@michaelgillies9075]

Please show us your videos on how to fix the problem in your perfect swing instead of disrespecting 1 of the most RESPECTED people in the world,if u can’t I’d suggest u pipe down🤔

[@joshramirez7]

They pull down but keep speed and rotation up, which most golfers cannot do. A more stable swing with rotational speed is best for 90% of golfers.
