Love the videos Mark! All of them are very helpful. I started playing when I was 8 and stopped when i was 13 because baseball took over my life. I'm 16 now and starting to get back into golf. I find these videos very helpful. Thanks man.
Definitely keep the new format. Also would like to know about the pinky. Have changed my grip in a positive way thanks to you, but now it feels more uncomfortable interlocking my pinky. Thanks Mark
The best advice IMHO Butch Harman - hold it just tight enough to keep constant pressure throughout your swing. I used to hold it firm at address, loosen up a bit at top to cock wrist and tighten at impact ...I was releasing early, unintended draws and some fades and somewhat inconsistent contact. This year I started holding it pretty firm (say 6/10 LH, 3/10 RH) as I have been trying to work the ball more. The waggle or impact preview drill is so important to feel the clubhead...good tips.
Biggest trouble I've had as a 5 HC, is on some days I've worked to hard using my hands ( I use a lot of heavy hammers daily and for hours) go out golfing and spray the balls left and right. Any miss hit out of center of club and the club face twist badly. I can shoot 70 71 one weekend and the following weekend shoot 87 88. I now see how I must have week hands or tiered ones some days and a good "stronger" grip on others. I'm now thinking about it. Thanks for the tip.
Young Mark! Thanks for this video. I yesterday did an experiment on the range trying to just hold on the golfclub in the backswing and that resulted in a way more natural feeling throuhgout the entire swing, 10% higher swing speed and easier feel to hit through the ball and follow through. Not that much content about this. Tnx!
Hey Mark. Great video as always. Would you mind doing a quick segment on ball striking with long irons vs. short irons? For example, posture, stance, ball position, etc. Thanks!
mark Ive been hitting my iron shots really fat lately i was wondering if there were any drills i could do to stop it ? thanks keep up the great advice and vids :)
Hi Mark, would you be able to do a lesson on the left foot at impact? I keep turning the left foot towards to target and dont kow how to stop it. Thanks
Allo Marc; I have a tendancy to flip my wrists at impact instead of keeping my cocking wrists a little longer. Do you have any drill to stop me from flipping at impact.??? Thanks you for your great work..
Hi Mark. Great Videos.. thanks a ton. Ive reviewed my swing video and realized that my hips move forward ( like in one of your reviewd students in this video) and its causing me to come out to in ( my divots are always pointing quite left). I have also tried but I cant seem to get a proper hip roatation even without a club in hand. can you recommend some exercises pls? thanks.
I worked on this a lot with my instructor. I was gripping way too tight and it caused a lot of Problems. I was able to release the club and hit straighter.
Improper grip pressure can cause a severe case of the twitches/yips in the short game. I understand that the pressure should be CONSTANT throughout the swing and you shouldn't change the pressure as you swing - near impact.
I disagree. If you put a club at address position and squeeze right hand.. the head is skewed to left. Vice versa also. It's very tough to have balanced pressure with both hands every shot.
thanks for the advice!! i loosened my grip and im hitting the ball ALOT better! keep up the good work!
you'r videos are so good i can watch them over and over thanks,

Hi Mark, are you a left hander playing right handed? I am and wonder if it has caused extra issues. What do you think?

I can't find your app in the App Store. The Link takes me to iTunes instead off the App Store. Can you help me?
So for your grip pressure change in the downswing
