      When ever my irons start going bad my first check is that I’m getting blade flat at address….it’s the one check that will more or less fix it all for me, or at least get me through the round iron-wise..

    Your mention of a cricket stance being upright reminded me that having come from a cricket background, I addressed the ball in a rather upright manner when I first started playing golf after retirement. After lessons in "proper" stance I gained more distance but lower scores. After turning 75 I went back to a cricket stance and stroke and dropped 5 strokes - still FAR from scratch. I lost distance but increased accuracy being able to hit to "Long-on" and "long- off" on demand, no more 5 lost balls per round. Great information that I wished I had when I first wanted to play with a more classic golf swing but too late for me now!

    Thanks Mark. Your explanations make the seemingly complicated appear so obvious. Being both an equipment and swing tinkerer, I was aware of the effects lie angle, grip, hand height, posture etc. has on start direction, path and shot shape. I've always managed them as separate elements. But I never considered the influence lie angle has on grip, hand height and posture. I don't know why, but I just never saw the link so this has been illuminating. Cheers.

    This is the video I did not realise I needed. Came here after just getting fitted and been missing my irons to the left. Assumed it was because I was still using toe up but moving to a stiff shaft from a stiff flex.
    I have come away not only confirming that but also how I can use the lie to direct my flight. Will be trying this at the range this morning. ❤

    This is such an awesome video! This is one of the "tests" i've implemented at the range when Im filming my swing when noticing patterns change. Im a cut player, if im starting to hit draws or hooks, or an over-cut, i find the lie plays a huge part in it!

    Could you also talk a bit about how the club face should sit at address? I heard with a neutral grip, if you have a little forward press, the club will sit couple degree open. Is this correct or should the edge be square / perpendicular even with slight forward hands? Thanks Mark

    What about where you stand for different results I the first time I ever hit a ball on a par three course remember Snead nine iron, had to play in line with the back heel back foot you would say and hit it not behind but on the down swing clean I put it 10-14 feet from the pin.

  • @karldann3107

    I tried a club 1 inch longer than my normal and it was standard lie and I'm 2 degree upright, but found with it being longer the toe instantly raised off the ground like my upright ones. Would this work long term?

    Hi Mark. Just watched this but I have a question. With the toe slightly up, when you play your shot and with the shaft flex, won't this make the sole of the club either flat, or slightly toe down?

  • @drdirtnap4430
    @drdirtnap4430 Год назад

    Hey Mark. If you've done a video on this before, sorry - but can you give some tips on how to get around a course that isn’t...the nicest? My typical track has a lot of bare spots you'll land in that are just off the fairway/green side rough or even on it, really hard sand bunkers (this is the biggest problem for me personally, the club basically cannot go into the sand), uneven tee boxes, etc. It's the closest course to me, and it's where I play a weekly men's league. Would love to know if there are any hacks you can recommend. Thanks!

    • @dsc-nr5zy
      @dsc-nr5zy Год назад +1

      If he never gets back to you, lemme tell you how I navigate it. The bare lies can be either like hitting off a cheap driving range mat or concrete (some give, or no give). You have to figure out which it is. If you have enough give in the soil, you can try gliding the club into the ball by hitting a smidge behind the ball, so you are able to present grooves higher up the face. That's the cheap range mat method. If there is no give, then you'll need to assume every shot will be shorter and possibly leak right because you'll be hitting thin and will need to cut across the ball just to get it up in the air. You'll basically want to pick it clean so you don't hurt yourself, too. That's the concrete method.
      Sand shots are fairly easy. Just use a square face and chunk and run. Just hit an inch or two behind the ball. You don't have fluffy sand to hit through, so there's no need to do anything with a bounce. You need to dig and get through, hence square face (maybe even shut it a little - experiment with it). It's a different way of playing than you would pure conditions, but you'll be very good on pure conditions when you see them. Good luck!

    Lie angle needs to be measured dynamically (at impact) static measurements at address is BS. Get the golf swing in good form from your pro then be fit to reward the motion.

  • @stevedre
    @stevedre Год назад

    Way too complex for a simple physics rule. The club moving through space naturally droops lower because of shaft flex. More flex engenders more droop. SO the Set up MUST have the toe up. Also, most people swing dynamically with their hands higher at impact to create room for your hips to rotate. SO even more droop. Bottom line: You need to test your lie hitting off a lie board OR a reliable launch monitor to calculate your proper dynamic level impact position of the club head.

    • @MarkCrossfield

    Picked up a golf club for the very first time in April at aged 40 and instantly fell in love with the sport
    Ive only ever played on my local 9 hole par 3 course
    First time I shot 68 (+41)
    My 8th time at the course I shot 42 (+15)
    Thought I was getting better but my last 2 times around the course have been absolutely horrendous
    I only use irons/wedges (because it's a par 3 course) and I cannot for the life of me get the ball in the air. Every shot (and I mean every single shot) just rolls along the grass.
    Some go 20 yards some go 50 yards but EVERYTHING is just scuffed across the grass and I don't feel like I am doing anything any different
    I know it's a hard sport but the last few times around the course is seriously disheartening and I'm quickly losing the enjoyment 😢
