@@s.b.9059 No question about it - you have to be physically fit to play this game really well. In the past few months I've invested time and effort working with a performance coach to improve my strength and overall fitness. The improved results I'm seeing with my game shocked me.
What a fantastic teacher of the golf swing. With the exception of the grip, he explained every one of Hogan's fundamentals in detail and with examples. Amazing instruction!
The way he explains why the bad shots occurs is just amazing. Immediately you understand why that happens. And the remedy/drills he puts dan in it's like instant solution. Now just have to work on it more. Outstanding stuff.
Mannnn I'm a lefty and I've been struggling with the exact same shot. High pushy fade to the left. The tip about the softer trail arm and having the butt end of the club opened my eyes. My shoulders were so open I didn't even realize and my club end was pointed towards my groin. Went to the range today and noticed a HUGE difference in my flight and contact. So glad I found this video lol.
DeeRap's Content with Side Gig and now THIS has changed Fore Play from a "Guest appearance/Fore Man Scramble" Channel to a legit golf insights must watch. Best stuff I've seen from Barstool in a long time. Thanks Dan!
man am I jealous. to have access to Mark for a 1 on 1, just incredible. all the elements of an incredible teacher on display - he said it, trying to be minimally invasive, work with what you have and build on it with simple tweeks. too many coaches try to de construct. that must have been some buzz haha the excitement to take that out on the course! chuffed for you i played seldomly aged 16/17 , now aged 29 having just moved country last year ive dived in head first, am hooked on it. and so glad to have had a few lessons that seems to be looking for some of the simple things like Mark encourages here - that feeling of leaning back / resisting in the back swing, lower swing plane, and good rotation. 5th lesson things coming together, shot 90 this week and could have and should have shot in the 80s which was been my goal since buying my first set in september. i cant imagine what an hour with Mark would do for my game!
I always find it amazing that good coaches can see ALL of this going on in a person's swing and then can teach said person how they need to personally work it out.
I was a +4 in college golf and played some mini tours. Over the years my game and body got worse (injuries and such) I’ve fought a huge block cut that ended any hopes of playing decent golf. I feel like I’m watching a lesson for myself…amazing content
This type of lesson makes the most sense to me. Proper attention to physiology to customize the lesson to meet a person where their swing is vs forcing a swing upon him.
Probably the best golf lesson I have watched ever. I have over 1000 videos saved on RUclips. I have the same swing flaws and this struck home. I will be working these drills. Thank you 🙏
Awesome content. Great to see a golf instructor able to relate to amateur golfers playability and yet can catch minuit things on a PGA player. Please post your next lesson!!
Killer video. Love how he broke everything down. Will be bookmarking for sure. Gotta think if he was up in Rochester this was around the PGA last year.
I needed to see this. I have the same issues of having tight hips, limited shoulder/scapula movement, but with great T-spine mobility. I used to have a flatter golf swing, but have been working to have a “prettier” swing by having a steeper backswing and shallowing on the downswing. I’ve tried all sorts of things, but struggled to get the shallowing part right more naturally. Wish I could take a lesson with Mark B., but am all the way in SoCal!
Good stuff Dan, as a longtime drawer of the ball early extension became a major issue for me in my 40’s high and right, I fixed my game with these same principles taught to you. It’s a journey changing sides of the course but after a while it becomes second nature.
This is absolute gold, I have the same issue with driver where I tilt back and get too shallow and inside. I moved the ball up and just tried to smash the ball with my right shoulder and hit the driver so good on course. Genius
Mind blown in the first 5mins. THIS should be the blueprint for ALL golf lessons. I’m fed up with telling coaches I struggle due to shoulder surgery, for them to ignore it and try to get me into a position I can’t possibly achieve before going home feeling useless.
Great coaching. Makes so much sense the body, joints stability and flexibility. Everyone is different so we all swing differently. So do the testing first before the lesson
Wow, I love the video. First time I see you, but I have already subscribed. I was impressed about the type of lesson Mr. Blackburn teaches. I hope to be his student one day.
Pretty much every golf lesson I've had by numerous instructors, they never test range of mobility first. Then they all go on saying you need to get more hip depth and arm depth. I have 15-20 degree internal hip rotation and boxers shoulders.
Trying to not be pushed over has changed my swing completely, such better contact and so much more speed. Never realized how out of balance I was, this was an awesome video.
This guy is a wizard. Weirdly enough I have a lot of the same misses as Dan and this lesson was making a lot of sense to me. My second round out after taking some of these tips I broke par for the first time as a 7 handicap (5 after posting the -1).
Typical spring day in Rochester. Cloudy and cold 😂 Now you can see why Mark Blackburn is such a good coach as he takes what you have and makes you better! 👍🏻
God bless Trottie....and the bizarre Riggs wtf lesson nothing was said lesson. It was uh...however....this is DENSE and superb. Its a stop rewind forever. This man is a teacher. The good student asking good questions with good swing matters 10x. It is what it is. Top level. DDTG Mike Hatzl for sure
1 minute in and I wanted to rewatch scenes of Peaky Blinders. Mark is a cleaned up golf version of Alphie Solomons. And as someone else commented, a golf genius.
More of these please
I've been playing for 40+ years and have taken many lessons (too many?) from some "name" teachers - this is the best lesson video I've ever seen.
many Golfers are not invest in Yoga and Weight Lifting big Mistake

I’ve watched a lot of golf and this has to be top 3 lessons I’ve ever witnessed! More of this guy, please!
This guy is so good I sent the video to my wife. She doesn't like when I try to give her lessons but she'll love this haha.
I'm curious, JT... what are the other two?
@@RollYourRockI would say Sean Foley or if you want really good wedge centric guidance then Dan Greeves. Can’t miss with any of these 3!
@@JTMayo803 Sean Foley, of course, but Dan Grieve is new to me and REALLY excellent! Thx🙂
@@JTMayo803 JT, what are a few of the Sean Foley videos that resonated with you?
I am 81yrs old, studied countless videos, hands on lessons, etc. This is the best 31 minutes I have experienced. Thanks to both .
Hahaha god I love the painfully direct, touch of sarcasm coaching delivery that Mark uses 😂
Love this new channel for Dan, low pressure, good content for golf nerds
What a fantastic teacher of the golf swing. With the exception of the grip, he explained every one of Hogan's fundamentals in detail and with examples. Amazing instruction!
That guy is a fkn genius
Dude I was bout to post this exact sentence
What’s his hourly rate?!
@@MichaelWoods-fc8meyou can’t book with him. He’s on tour constantly
*fucking
Definitely. One lesson. Gold.
The way he explains why the bad shots occurs is just amazing. Immediately you understand why that happens. And the remedy/drills he puts dan in it's like instant solution. Now just have to work on it more. Outstanding stuff.
Mark blackburn is on a different level completely
Give this man a series - Mark fixes the Foreplay Crew
Dan took Foreplay to a whole new level. This is fantastic stuff.
No he didn't

So glad I found this video lol.
I'm only halfway through this video, and I am hooked on Mark's teachings and style!!!
I wish this was 3 hours long. Insanely good stuff
and super nice and motivating as well
Dans a really good golfer! To see that excitement in his face is awesome
Dan this is some of the best stuff in a long time. Please do a few more!!

This was incredible! Learned more in this than probably any other golf RUclips video I’ve ever watched!

One of the best lessons I've ever watched. This was really gold.
This is the best golf instruction video on RUclips.
"That's Golf" I felt that one in my soul.
One of, if not the best, instructional videos Ive come across.
I always find it amazing that good coaches can see ALL of this going on in a person's swing and then can teach said person how they need to personally work it out.
This guy is a golf swing whisperer if ever i saw one. What a beast of an instructor.
This was awesome. Cool to hear how the best in the biz think about the swing and simplify things. Nice work Dan!
This guy is something special!! Wish I knew the golf swing like him. Id love to see more of this

I feel your pain. Injuries galore. Flatter swing, staying in posture using glutes helps lower ball flight w. Short irons. Very straight ball flight.
This type of lesson makes the most sense to me. Proper attention to physiology to customize the lesson to meet a person where their swing is vs forcing a swing upon him.
Going to use that step through drill when I give lessons. Love the way he teaches!
Probably the best golf lesson I have watched ever. I have over 1000 videos saved on RUclips. I have the same swing flaws and this struck home. I will be working these drills. Thank you 🙏
That man knows his shit!!! Unreal, and he explains his process very well. Wow!!!
We def need more or this. Love the addition of this kind of video
Need more of this every week
Hell of a training session! Great video Dan and Co
So this is really valuable content & and I appreciate you & Mark as well as your production team⛳️🍻
That was awesome! you have some really good numbers on that last drive
Absolutely love his no bullshit delivery.
Great coach
100% should've thrown this on the main channel page, but either way, great video. Would love to see more of this in the future!
Best of the best right here!! Amazing. Just add a ball tracer and we’re looking at a perfect video!
Fantastic stuff, the physical assessment makes so much sense. Would like to know exercises to help improve golf range of motion and flexibility.
Awesome content. Great to see a golf instructor able to relate to amateur golfers playability and yet can catch minuit things on a PGA player. Please post your next lesson!!
Lesson of a lifetime, feels go straight to results, that's wild, wow!
Love this. Create a series Dan.
Great stuff! Just the little tip about raising the hands at address made a big impact with him ball striking in my round yesterday.
One of the best lessons i have ever seen.
This just set off so many lightbulbs for me. Range session tomorrow! Thanks for the video!
Killer video. Love how he broke everything down. Will be bookmarking for sure. Gotta think if he was up in Rochester this was around the PGA last year.
This guy is absolutely genius. No molds for this guy works the swing to work for what you're capable of doing and repeating
Best free lesson ever. I have the same mobility issues as Dan and swing flaws. This was wild
Priceless material, thank you Dan for sharing! I hate to admit it, but I'd pay to see my of Mark.
This is awesome! What a great coach
That was great. Hope there are more of these.

...Could listen to Mark for hours, wonderful content here

TPI Certified is what he is doing, everyone who is certified can do this
I start with almost all the same problems as Dan. Time to go to the range. Thanks for sharing this.
Love this! I have similar issues with my swing so this was very helpful! Mark Blackburn is awesome!!
Great coaching. Makes so much sense the body, joints stability and flexibility. Everyone is different so we all swing differently. So do the testing first before the lesson
I like how the step forward balances the turning back. Gonna be trying that
Unbelievably great info in this lesson!

how good was that! love the TPI screen at the start to understand the body mechanics limitations before even swinging a club.
Great stuff , please give us more !
Need more of this teacher.
Great content. Thanks boys.
Golden content. Push out more, fast and often!
That was awesome to geek out on!!! Well done. Thanks Dan.
Great information well delivered thanks
Great lesson, thanks a mill!
One lesson and swinging like Max already 🔥
WHAT?! I want more of this 100%
These are the same things my instructor has been working with me on. Great video
Great f-ing lesson! More please! 😊
This is great!! Thank you!!

His teaching as so organic and seamless. Love how he worked with the swing he had and made personalised adjustments.
Typical spring day in Rochester. Cloudy and cold 😂 Now you can see why Mark Blackburn is such a good coach as he takes what you have and makes you better! 👍🏻
Really enjoyed this... great content!
Amazing, more of this!
This guy is fantastic!
Such a great video. Keep these coming thanks
This was awesome. Make this into a series please
Great lesson..... Thanks
I've been playing golf since I was 8yo. Now 56. That was the best instruction I've ever heard. Epiphany moments.
Fantastic! Where can I get one of those hats???
God bless Trottie....and the bizarre Riggs wtf lesson nothing was said lesson. It was uh...however....this is DENSE and superb. Its a stop rewind forever. This man is a teacher. The good student asking good questions with good swing matters 10x. It is what it is. Top level. DDTG Mike Hatzl for sure
Mark uses a lot of those pressure drills, i.e. pushing against Dan's backside, to make you correct your flaw. Good stuff 👍🏻👍🏻
This was perfect. Felt like I was literally there taking this class.. 🙏🏼
A lesson that starts in the gym testing movement and function evidently has much better results. Great coach great video great lesson.
The physical screen at the beginning is such a good idea that I’ve never seen a golf instructor use in lessons
1 minute in and I wanted to rewatch scenes of Peaky Blinders. Mark is a cleaned up golf version of Alphie Solomons. And as someone else commented, a golf genius.
Pork chops divots killed me 😂
