Thanks for the amazing comments. Is this something you have ever thought about in your set up?
If you want to learn how to compress your irons better watch this video

Cheers my man. Applied this today in a rainy bad weather round . My lowest back nine ever and hit 90 % of my shots with no fats or tops😊😅. Great advice here 👍
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..
Don't care what anybody else says about you, no-one explains things as clearly and simply as yourself, well done sir!
This was fantastic!! I have pulled my short irons and wedges for years. Tried everything! I adjusted the club like you said, just bring the heel up a touch and VOILA! THANK YOU!!!!
Reaffirming basics is so important - I often overlook them.
Mark - just want to say I appreciate these 'beginner' lessons or reminders.
Man, the quality of how this is produced from end to end is very impressive.
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!
You’re brilliant at explaining things mate 👍🏻
Great lessons Mark. We always need reminders to stop us falling in to bad habits and spoiling the game.
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. ❤
Thanks I needed to know this and always wondered about this.
Loved this tip! I was skeptical that after 40+ years I was not properly setup....I used the tip out on the course...WOW! Great tip....certainly helped me :-)
Great video for a wide range of golfers Mark. Thanks for putting it together. 🤙
I’ve forgotten this really helpful information, thanks Mark. It totally explains why I’ve been overdrawing my irons I’ve got lazy on posture and I’ve been setting my hand too low (more comfortable) I’m going to work on returning to neutral and working on getting my fade back on the course. 😊
I’d call it a refresher lesson Mark how many golfers learn new things in golf and forget the basics. Great blogs bud 👍
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!
Brilliant lesson. Thanks!
Thanks Ken
I'm going to have to put this info. into play tomorrow. Thanks Mark.
Just the lesson I need before I try out some new to me classic Ping S55s.
Keeping it real Mark. Thanks for the basic reminders ⛳️👍🏻
Thanks Mark - great tips and I appreciate the explanation and detail.
You are awesome. Very helpful!
Thanks Mark. This was very helpful.
Another brilliant lesson, Mark!
I have never seen this issue addressed before, pun intended. Brilliant video! Thank you.
Love this video 👍🏻
This is great information, glad I came across this
Great vid Mark. Exactly what i have been doing. Will try a more neutral body position at the range..cheers.!
Great reminder Mark! TY
What an eye opening video. I have recently been struggling to draw the ball but have been working on reducing a fade over the last few months. This video does bring the question to me, am I too upright, do I need to made sure the irons I’ve used for years actually suit me. How can I book an inspirational lesson with you mark?
Just tried it, really good to get a small amount of draw/fade without having to think about it.
I can't wait to try this out
Thanks Mark, great video.
Thank you Mark I give it a crack.
What a great way to reaffirm grip. As a tall player, I tend to get wear my glove out on the heel pad of my hand (opposite side of my thumb), down by my wrist.
Needed this thanks!
Great video Mark!
Lou’s t-rex arms!! Don’t forget the 28-inch inseam!! 😂😂
Love the Lou dig
wow. thank you!!!!
You’re welcome.
Brilliant very informative.
Why has no-one told me this!? Thank you Mark.
Very, very good.
Interesting subject matter. 👍🏼
Thanks Kevin
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
Basic yes but actually more advanced in how you explain the lie sets up patterns. Good stuff Mark.
What if someone has a 29" inseam? Would junior clubs be better?
Haha 😂
Does this correlate with driver as well?
To be fair, looking at angles at an angle takes some getting used to. LOL.
This is interesting though in terms of adding layers of understanding surrounding how the club is flung around and some consideration to lie when hitting that next shot… Thanks Mark!
Excellent! 😊
2degree upright + 1 inch length weak grip toe down results in straight shots 😉
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.
Mark.
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?
Good stuff.
Why can't I save your videos? They are very informative.
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?
All things equal yes that’s why it’s “standard” practice. 👍
I suppose lie angle of the club is also why we aim right or left if the ball above or below your feet?
Yep 👍
What are the weird circles on the face of your iron Mark?
Should more golfers play clubs with flatter lie angles?
Mark thanks, you may have kept me from throwing my irons into the trash.
Mark , absolutetly perfect description ,and a massive help to me !! I play off 1.6 , a 60 year old self taught one a week golfer , so rellevant that i drawing the tits off my irons and its killing me !!! A massive thankyou ❤❤❤
Interesting how he doesn’t ground the club. He keeps it hovering a little bit off the ground.
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!
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!
Love the Lou ripper 😂 #trexarms
Sometimes (actually, more often than not) less is more, Mark. Just say’n.
The amazing comments of a golf swing are cute aoristojyes of the correct norm of someynt else of things.
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.
Golf is 100 times easier using these tips with one length clubs from LW to 8i only. Trust me. If your bottom 6 clubs all one length 37" u will have a 150 yard and in master control.
Stop picking on Lou. (At least you didn't mention the 29" inseam)😮
Do u teach
Always keep the tow end up and you must keep the balls clean.
🙀
The only thing I don’t like is that you always have a flat lie what about if you are in a divot
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.
Lie boards are not great. Please use a launch monitor.
Also not sure you watch the video. Haha.
Please speak English.
You spent 13 minutes for this video. Talking about to much unnecessary information.
I purposely have the hands slightly higher and toe down to try and fight the left miss, it definitely helps ⛳🏌️
Like it
@@MarkCrossfield cheers Mark 👍🏼 I feel there's so little content out there regarding the left miss. I've struggled with it for years but I find this adjustment has helped me the most ⛳🏌️🙂
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 😢
Golf get harder the better you get 🤣
