GOLF SWING TIPS Control the Club Face

[@sminchin09]

I’m just happy with forward at the moment

[@teamillanes]

I play a “power slice” 😅 Working on transforming that in a “playable fade”

[@POTBUNN2]

Aim left brah....

[@stuartdavies1663]

Draw at the moment, has been for a while so am now playing to it.

[@sidbox]

BAD SLICE FOR YEARS. FINALLY STRAIGHTENED IT OUT INTHE LAST FEW YEARS PRIMARILY DUE TO YOU THANKS MARK!

[@_LemonDropKid_]

I know this is an old video but I found it extremely insightful, particularly the trail wrist move to start the downswing. TY

[@robertallan1367]

Id like help with low point control, it is by far my nemesis. I never take a divot (yes greenkeepers love me lol)

[@markthegolfaddict9051]

I'd love to be a picker like that!

[@robertcourt8593]

Probably the biggest cause of frustration for a hell of a lot of golfers, me included!

[@MrAndyPhoenix]

Same

[@lindsaysmith9935]

I was a slicer for years until I saw one of your videos from a few years ago about wrist flex, I now hit it fairly straight or with a slight draw.

[@andrewroberts4992]

High and weak with my irons.

[@tomolson5611]

Working with a fade right now. The "frisbee" feel for my lead had is a daily routine when ever I pick up a club. Lots of good ideas here.

[@tonydeoliveira5442]

Slice my driver and all ways missing left on the irons. Keep the advice coming.

[@geirskjo]

pull hooking atm .. as well as the start of summer. And slicing in the middle months. Golf is fun.

[@SimonR96.]

I slice my driver but hook my irons... so I keep watching your videos to help Seems to be working so far!

[@johnwaterfield4851]

I hit a slight fade/slice. The turning of the right on way down idea is what I’m trying to do at the moment. Nice and clear and helps me think I may be on the right path.

[@Matthew-88]

My bad shot is a pull at the moment. This video and others you do have started to make me experiment when I am at the range, it makes going to the range much more enjoyable.

[@wmalinak]

Definitely SAVING vid for re-imagining twist & frisbee after trying. Drawing driver thru 5i, fade on shorter. Also "All the Time in the World" (but weather is going wrong way).

[@pmportella]

I m a slicer! I know that my problem is OUT to IN and i dont think any twisting of the club will help! i tried :D sooo yeah i need a light ball moment to deal with my out to in swing. thank you very much Mark you have got the best channel on youtube for golf hands down!

[@timburt1173]

A am predominately a slicer. Have been working on these wrist movements after watching andrew rices vid on it. This helps give another perspective on it. Love it.

[@daviddonner2035]

Great video. Definite aha moment. Hitting a soft fade would be ideal.

[@s1ra355]

A leaky fade is my weak shot if I'm honest! Keep the great lockdown tips coming...

[@benoit_vaillancourt]

The infamous slice. As soon that something is a little off in my swing, big fade to slice ! Working hard to fix it and watching your videos from Canada !

[@mikewigmore3693]

Thanks for all of your help over the years Mark my stock shot is a fade

[@davidconners]

I play a low fade. And there was definitely a 💡 moment during this vid, thanks.

[@golfballs1740]

I normally hit a fade, loving the video and have set up a hitting net in the back garden.

[@ReubenHarsant]

Generally play a gentle fade when I strike it well. Bad shot is straight pull left. Tendency to come over the top so these drills are perfect! Thanks brah 👍🏼

[@keithvetter7530]

My shot shape is a fade. I am working on moving the ball from right to left. Great video with drills to work on. Thank you!

[@bencarter2]

Had a very strong grip for years and just made a leap to change it. Seems you can be functional no matter what grip you have 👏

[@grahame7859]

I play a slice as a miss. Worked hard on the face to path which is helping in most cases

[@robjones9780]

Slice is def my bad shot, not as often as it used to be thanks to your videos and lessons but still comes out every now and then

[@Spotofgardening]

THese videos are great! really helping me understand my swing better!

[@jamespickering2363]

Its a smap hook on a bad day and a gorgeous draw on a good day. So, I hit a hook 99% of the time. Great video Mark.

[@benkarrie1898]

Great tips Mark. Lucky to be in Wales so out for round number 3 in the morning at Wenvoe Castle, struggling with wrist angles after getting rid of my slice and now it’s going the other way. Especially with the driver! Happy to send in some videos as not getting lessons going in and out lockdown has not helped 😂 stay safe and don’t go too crazy. Now pimp my bag with that driver!

[@coreynickerson4790]

was all slice for 1st 6 years then fellow golfer had me stand with left foot directly in front of right foot ( i'm a right hand golfer) took my 5 iron and on second swing hit a draw with increased distance. 2 years later and stronger grip am now hitting 75% of my iron shots with a pull to the left. Driver is 50% pull and 50% slice still and a couple flukey minor fade long drives to catch a fairway. Admittedly have a couple broken drivers in my past learning curve. 1 was pure accident while practicing in to out swing around an alignment rod. oops. thanks for the vids. really enjoy and have taken lots of tips to the range with me.

[@bmckenzie69]

Watching this vid for the third time, I thinking about what I tend to do with my wrists. The frisbee throw idea is intriguing. I need to get a club out and give that a try...

[@frankdiciaula3194]

I actually hit the ball fairly straight with a slight draw sometimes. Great content!

[@190319744323]

I hit a fade and slice it sometimes.. I would love to be able to shape it right to left more often. This video and the one on Facebook will hopefully help. 👍🏻

[@xena1dog]

It a fade for me was a slice but been working hard and now starting to get a bit of control. 😁

[@stevenleworthy5802]

Habitual slicer but getting better as I watch your vids

[@HDG-landscape]

Thanks for the video I have always hooked the ball

[@aaronconsaul6645]

Good info, and exactly what my coach has me working on, to get rid of a push fade that I'm causing by an occasional block. My natural shot shape gas been a pull fade, but the misses are not playable. So with the help of a swing coach and lessons we have changed that to a draw down the center and my miss block is straight to the right and playable

[@justingiles743]

love your channel been watching for years i have a problem slicing the ball

[@mikemiller3806]

I enjoy a cut but struggle for consistency, enjoy the content!

[@zacroland686]

Very helpful. Will try the strong grip on my slice

[@iank2]

Great Tips Mark, used to be a weak slice. Have strengthened grip somewhat and now getting a power hook/draw

[@benreed8862]

Slicey slicey, working hard on exactly what’s in this video with wrist hinge.

[@robertbarrios9576]

Was hitting a draw/hook for awhile kept getting my grip stronger thinking I could keep better control of my wrists. Then I went for a lesson and first thing he changed was my grip. No mo draw, but I instantly started getting better heights on the ball and straight to fade on my shots,.

[@DerekTaylorSpanish]

I typically hit a strong fade. Just ordered a frisbee on amazon because of this video

[@montygolflefthanded5669]

i have a fade to slice shot shape so hope these tips will help control the club face. Thanks for the content and new club ;-)

[@iancritchley9877]

Definitely a slicer. Good video.

[@Dubbification]

My miss is a hook left; can't wait to try this on the course!

[@toddyoungs7873]

Draw my irons and wedges with a downward angle of attack mega slice for the driver. Would love to see more on breaking down the swing to hit more up on the ball.

[@chrisbrown4048]

Always been a slice but moving that with woods thanks to your wrist angle ideas over the last 6months. I now need to try and get the same into my irons (they used to be straight but seem to have lost then since I've gained control of the woods) thanks

[@shawngarrity7044]

Big pusher and slicer. Workin on it

[@jphil3174]

I hit a pull hook. This video is exactly what I'm working on.

[@mpnmichael]

Proper slice Mark

[@clarkehineline5864]

I'm inconsistent at the moment, hit fad to slice most and some pull hooks. Working on downswing transition and hand position at the top of my swing

[@stevekent9370]

Been using foam practice balls hitting against the side of house to work on swing during lockdown. I wet them before using to see the strike pattern on the face. Very interesting. Irons were consistently out of the heel which I think explains the straight pull left I was seeing on the course. I have moved further away from the ball to centre my strike now. Now to test it on the course (and clean the ball marks off the house)

[@TheDeviant83]

I battled with a slice for years. Lessons with my local pro didn’t really help. Decided that I’d go for a driver fitting with a different pro and took your advice to treat it as a lesson. First thing he said was that the ball was too far forward in my stance resulting in a cricket bat shot. Moved the ball back (felt like loads, but was actually just inside my right heel) and helped massively. Now hitting quite a slight fade that gets a bit slicey if I try and step on it. I think that may be because I get a bit over the top when I try and put my back into it!! Contrary to most it seems, I’m more than happy to hit a little fade as long as I know what to expect!!

[@darylisnor8433]

From a slice to a snap hook. I think i'm getting better!!!

[@markreider9663]

I draw the ball, and have worked on a frisbee drill to get the feeling of holding off or not releasing the right hand too early. Right now just working on staying more neutral with my wrist rotations.

[@keithholloway6540]

My miss is duck hook, I play with a strong grip, great tips, love it. K

[@rayrushie7312]

I tend to hit the ball left with my bad shots , will check the grip 🤔 great video Mark 👌

[@chrislogg8421]

I hit a push to the right. Gonna have to try this frizbee motion idea

[@thomashunter9185]

Slice is my shot, good video going to give these ideas a go thanks. 👍

[@jamesbramwell1454]

Great video Mark! My normal Mishit is a huge slice to the right! I’ve been working on wrist angle at takeaway and top of backswing, which has worked mostly but given me some mishits to the left, which never used to happen!

[@bavman12]

Suffering from a nasty case of the snap hook. Great vid brah👌

[@scottrutherford5903]

Massive slice Mark, great vid

[@sorenmoke494]

I've been a slicer for the first 5 months of my golfing after a few lessons I now have stats of left miss 38% hit 29% and right miss 32% progress made through a set up change during the lessons

[@jimmym.8860]

Enjoy this channel, when I swing it right, I have a slight draw.

[@stevenclark2719]

Like most i've been fighting a slice all my life. Thanks to your vids i' starting to win, The last time i played i could feel the club face throughout the swing in the same way i do with my irons,great feeling. still trying to learn to shape the ball but thats still beyond me and have to settle for a slight cut

[@martinmcdonagh4862]

A lovely little lemonade, I'm working on trying to shape shots at the moment.

[@johnmclynn4923]

The Frisbee is a definitely a 200 Watt light buld moment!!!

[@michaelkillen269]

I used to do both. Ive removed the slice so now working on controlling the hook

[@MrHugo1986]

Great video. I need help with hitting my longer irons higher. 4/5 irons are very low, get good distance and lots of run but need help to hold greens. I feel my 6-8 go a little to far because they come out lower than my playing partners too. Thank you Mark!

[@nicklyne184]

To be honest, I'm only just beginning to get some sense of control over my right elbow (trying to keep it in tight, Hogan-style) and get the ball going straight down the line. But I shall be workiing on that frisbee wrist thing at the driving range to try to shape the ball. Good stuff!

[@chrishughes8256]

Always left to right fade or straight left loved the bit on wrist angles🤞

[@danielmarsh88]

I love a power fade!

[@marshallsangster820]

Loved the video, a low hook has been my bad shot for some time now. Some drills on hitting up on the ball with the driver would be good.

[@davidigough]

Since strengthening my grip I got a case of the lefts so the tips to flex the wrists on back swing/down swing will help - Thanks Mark - any tips to remind me how to get to swing more to the right while in lock down would be appreciated

[@alanhunter1017]

Slicer, and proud

[@tomclarke796]

Pretty new to all this so I hit it left and right.

[@andrewjgordon1372]

My bad shot is the slice, but I normally play a fade, have done since I was a youngster, but when it goes wrong it's a big slice...great tips Mark.... Just looking forward to getting back out there on the green stuff....

[@poomkin2000]

Always struggled with a hook with my irons, working hard to get it back to being a bit straighter this year

[@kennethmckinney2532]

I am a regular watcher and have been for a couple years. I know I asked you this once before but didn't get a response. This subject really brings my issue home. My issue is I have had 3 right wrist fusion surgeries(right handed golfer). My wrist is frozen straight and trying to get any shaft lean or delofting the club seems impossible. I haven't given up. I am 60 years old now and used to be able to play decent(pre surgeries) enough to make me happy. I have lost alot of power too obviously. Any suggestions, drills etc. Thanks always for the great content....

[@dustyrose1662]

I’ve always hit my irons straight with a touch of fade to them. I used to slice my driver and now I push everything right with it now. It’s been a work in progress. Thanks for the great tips and vids.

[@Masaaki592]

I used to be a serious slicer of the ball. I've never had a lesson but ive taken instruction from varios youtube videos over the last year or so (including some of yours!) and now I hit the ball straight. Shot after shot with my 19 degree hybrid just goes straight as an arrow. Which is aparently quite rare?!

[@willhodgetts2617]

I'm currently having lessons so one week they're left then we work on getting them towards the right. My last lesson (which seems like eons ago, thanks covid!) I was hitting them pretty straight, whoohoo!

[@simonsez39]

Dead straight. Love the Frisbee idea. Off to the range tomorrow then. ⛳👍

[@mvannatter73]

Hit if fairly straight this year. Have slight draw and slight fade at times... but mostly straight.

[@jonparr1148]

Used to a slice or fade player. Only ever saw the right hand side of the course. Recently after a series of lessons in a happy draw player with the occasional hook !

[@peterk.2772]

I like hitting a draw with the shorter irons and a fade with the long irons. The driver is usually a slight fade. I try to shape my fairway wood shots but it doesn’t always work out.

[@ross6331]

Hook when going wrong, fade when going well 🙌

[@barrydeklerk6286]

Good video, thanks. I am working on some swing changes at the moment with a coach, biggest problem at the moment is pully bomb balls, same problem coach had a year ago.

[@donsloan2075]

Draw. Good stuff. Thanks. I'm at the point where I'm focusing on face control. Have incorporated a bit of flexion in my full swing and went from fading to drawing. Have had a devil of a time feeling the face but recently it's started coming around (thanks to practice and videos like yours).

[@MarkCrossfield]

Hope it helps thanks for the comment.

[@PaulMellon83]

I've gone from playing a fade to being able to control whether I play a fade or a draw with some great lessons and guidance.

[@williamheld7672]

I play straight to fade go to shot with driver. Irons I am more on the power draw shape. Working on flighting and shaping my irons at will.

[@colinburton8288]

Baby snap hooks or power blocks. Golf is fun 😀

[@tomlyckowski6703]

played a fade, switched to a draw, and now working on hitting both but wanting the fade more as my stock shot

[@lukefish79]

Moved from a draw to a fade recently to try and eliminate the snap hooks

[@dottzy2]

Straight/slight draw on irons 7 - PW and a fade on the longer clubs. Nothing horrendous, thankfully - at least since having some lessons earlier in the year. The tips are great - keep them coming!

[@brianharper1704]

Thanks Mark great stuff

[@mikemcgowan1]

I recently changed irons. Used to always hit a draw but now getting a fade which I dont really enjoy but that's just my preference. Will use these drills and see what comes of it

[@troymiles469]

use to slice, getting much better control now though
