    This is the coolest instruction video ever, getting the youngsters involved. Brilliant. Unfortunately my two are both over twenty and I don’t know which pub they are in to help me out with this.

    When it comes to opening a window into the logic and feel of golf, you are our generation's Ben Hogan. Thanks for all of the time, thought and heart you put into your lessons.

    When I need help (often!) I just search for one of your videos and every time you solve the problem for me. EVERY. TIME. Thank you!!!

    Mark, I love this era of your videos. I like the personal, conversational presentation, the slice of your life that we get with the coffee making and taking the kids to and from school. Very cute kids, btw. It's clear you're a great father. And of course the golf content is always good. Cheers!

    You teach "let the club head overtake the hands/handle" a lot to help with shots going right. I tried this last night and while I was hitting more fairways, I started having a lot of spin on the ball or at least I think that's what was going on. The drives would start out at a nice flight then curve upwards and die. This resulted in about 20-30 yard shorter drives. I'll try these drills and see what I learn from them. Thanks for all the lessons! One of them is bound to help me discover the secret sauce!

    @nufantbsnofx 7 лет назад

    Thanks Mark. I’ve tried a lot of wrist and path ideas to try to fix my open face to path. This is the first video that actually solved the issue. I have always been leading with the handle and didn’t realize it or realize it was a problem. I’m sure you covered this in other videos but for some reason this video made it click. Cheers

    I can remember seeing Michelle Wie doing the split hand drill a few times before each shot in a tournament a few years ago. Obviously even the pros need help at times. Did anyone else notice that in the slow motion shots of Eduardo Molinari, you could clearly see him laying the shaft down at the start of the downswing as mark keeps wanting us to do. Great videos, Mark

    I've been struggling with 3W off the deck for over a year now. High blocked cut every single time. Used this drill at the range tonight and absolutely smashed powerful draws...consistently. One of the best drills I've done in quite some time.

  • @andrewbennett5999
    @andrewbennett5999 7 лет назад

    Been doing this only recently, including the throwing the ball drill you did in one of your other videos. Last round I played sliced one drive when I got it wrong, otherwise hit 72% fairways!amazing difference

  • @kimbialock2679
    @kimbialock2679 7 лет назад

    Absolutely brilliant, I’ve been battling this issue for years now. I recently shortened my driver shaft by an inch and been focused on letting the club head overtake my hands. After spending a week in mesquite NV I averaged one poor drive per round which is monumental for me. I’ll add this drills to continue my progress off the tee. Love these vlogs, watch em everyday. Keep up the good work, cheers bruh!

  • @simonrosenthal1072
    @simonrosenthal1072 5 лет назад

    This drill is amazing, thanks mark. this has really worked for me, I’m was a 18 handicapper 2 weeks ago, the last two rounds I use this as practice in my back garden and as as my practice swing before taking shots, I’m am now hitting 9 and 10 shots under my handicap, I’m now 16 handicapper and still dropping👌

    @markorrell-dobson2375 7 лет назад

    Another great video mark👍👍, I started playing golf this year and suffer from a fade mainly off the tee, a got a lesson and the pro recommend having my handle in front and twisting my hands over to the left . And now everything is going way to the left. I think I'll try your way for a while and see how that works.
    Thanks bra⛳️🏌😀

    My best drill that a PGA instructor gave me was the hip to hip drill when you take the club bck with your big muscles ( chest, shoulders ) n stop when your club is hip high on the bck swing ( the toe should be pointed at the sky) then release down thru the ball n check if the toe is pointed at the sky on the opposite side hip level best drill ever !!!! Come to Maui Hawaii Mark it's really windy and probably more windy then Europe could ever be !!! The courses are beautiful n challenging!!! 👍I'm a 8 handicap who plays at least 3 times a week plus the courses here have an elevation changes too it would be very interesting !!! Lmk cheers 🍻!!!!!

And you get so so much closer to the players than at the open in the uk. Point here being that some events are only relevant to the people who can get to them. Cheers bra.

Just as viewable as the American version. I will definitely watch the Dubai Championship. Yes, I live in America.

Thanks, info in these vlogs is excellent.

  • @ricardopassarelli6015
    @ricardopassarelli6015 7 лет назад

    I am amazed how my four-year old (who has been playing since he was two) releases the club so effortlessly. It just comes natural to him- he is so fluid. Sure I teach him very basic form, but my main swing advice to him is simply "hit it hard". I think part of his success (and joy) is that he doesn't have the muscle to over-power the club head, so his entire body must be in rhythm with the club head to make a swing. How can we recapture the feelings of swinging as free and easy as a child. It's really such a simple game.

  • @strinhinottawa
    @strinhinottawa 7 лет назад

    Thanks for this Mark! I notice that everyone calls it release, but that word seems to imply that it is effortless (at least, in my mind). This may be different for different golfers, but do you feel like this is an active movement or a passive movement? What do you feel in your grip when you "release" the club? Do you feel even pressure throughout the grip (passive?). Or do you feel pressure against your right index finger as you "whip" it through (active?). Cheers!

  • @mrkipling3841
    @mrkipling3841 7 лет назад +7

    Timely! Been working on this aspect too. I think the thing that buggers up release for some players (me) is that image of the classic shaft parallel position, coming from the inside with flat or bowed lead wrist. When trying to deliberately manufacture this position I either get an open faced wipe or flip like an omelette chef to square the face. The thing is I know that position should be obtained by the correct movements prior but its bloody hard trying to be perfect.

      Absolutely. I need to get in shape for when you come to Australia ;)
      Releasing the club is the only thing my coach is working with me on. He said nothing else needs to change (posture, grip, speed etc). Combination of coaching, Gamegolf, your instructionals and vlogs have helped me go from 22 HC to 12.

  • @thomash1292
    @thomash1292 7 лет назад +4

    Mark, I am a little confused. A lot of your RUclips colleagues promote a more body release where the pivot squares the club face. It would be interesting to hear your thoughts on that in relation to what you’re suggesting in this video.
    Thanks
    Thomas

      @MarkCrossfield  7 лет назад +2

      +Thomas H does this player not turn?

    • @thomash1292
      @thomash1292 7 лет назад

      Mark, yes - but the turn after impact comes from the arms, hands and club action. The opposite would be if the body is turning through impact and leading the arms, hands and club which by some instructors is considered to give a more consistent way of squaring the club face (e.g. Dan W. ruclips.net/video/RDV5wOOgqB4/видео.html). I was only curious of your thoughts on these two different schools of club release.

    What does it mean if you have the same follow through(massive disconnected chicken wing), but are always hitting a hook? There always seems to be videos on these subjects but aimed at slicers... I am a 28 handicap, but my miss has always been a huge hook. Drop it in the inside to much and the. A massive chicken wing... any thoughts appreciated

  • @ferguselworthy9559
    @ferguselworthy9559 7 лет назад

    Mark, tiz a fine line between alowing the club head to catch up with the hands at impact and letting the club head overtake the hands prior to impact and scooping or flipping the shot. I hit the ball so high and short with irons, I think that flipping is my main problem. How do I stop flipping???

    • @ashleyjukes1460
      @ashleyjukes1460 7 лет назад

      fergus elworthy if you're flipping, chances are your weight is still behind the ball when you 'release'. You need to be able to release the club whilst getting into that strong position he was drilling with his kids. Something I struggle with as I loose a lot of shots right.

    • @ferguselworthy9559
      @ferguselworthy9559 7 лет назад
