  1. Mark, thank you so much. This is the simplest, best drill I have found for
    not dropping the club under the shaft plane. I have really never heard any
    one speak about NOT turning the hips. I can really feel the resistence in
    the lower body and ,y weight shifts much easier on the way back. Now I need
    to work on starting the knees and hips down first to get some power back.

  2. Hi Mark, The other day I started shanking ’em. To solve it I thought about
    applying EQUAL force with both hands / both arms at impact. It worked. Is
    that a fluke or does that seem like a sound fix?

  3. mark would you consider this the One Piece Takeaway? Also can you
    demonstrate the saying of keeping the club outside your hands in the
    backswing? THANKS

  4. Hi Mark, I have been looking for a new driver for a while now but i have no
    idea what to get. I am 15 years old, i have been playing for about 6 months
    and have a handicap of 30. What driver would you reccommend, i have been
    looking at the Ping G20 but i dont know. Thanks.

  5. Would this not increase the chance of injury? How would you argue that
    Bubba Watson is the longest driver on the pga tour and he has an enormous
    hip turn?

  6. I think the term backswing is misleading as it encourages the over use of
    the arms to SWING it should be called Backturn as you are turning your body
    and your arms are following the rotation of your body.

  7. This helped me a ton. I have a horrible problem slicing it a lot. My buddy
    I golf with said I have a baseball swing but whatever I tried, I couldn’t
    fix it. It was all my hips. Lol

  8. mark on my phone u show left shoulder down to right foot to get behind but
    icant find this great lesson on ur 4golf any chance dave pugh thanks

  9. Just found you Mark, started 4 months a go and have been playing the best I
    can without paying for coaching, have just managed to crack 50 on the local
    9 hole golf course, just downloaded GOLF your great iPhone app, will keep
    you posted how I get on and may send a vid or two, keep up the good work.

  10. Mark, I am 65 and not as flexible as many of my younger counterparts. It is
    difficult to achieve many of the positions or actions shown in your
    lessons. Would it be possible for you to provide some tips for those of us
    that are advancing in years thus enabling me to conitnue playing to a
    reasonable level. Kind regards John

  11. Love the video. Such a smooth swing and you put your advice in ways we can
    understand. On my back swing my right leg always went straight and I
    couldn’t figure out why. Recently I just figured out that I was turning my
    hips to far. I became more quieter in the hips and it seems to help. Is
    this true or am I still misssing something.

  12. Hey Mark, just want to thank you for fixing explaining all your techniques.
    I’m now swinging better then I ever have and having tons of fun getting
    better every week. I can’t thank you enough for your videos, your are the
    Best Teacher on You Tube 🙂

  13. OKAY, BUT THEN PLEASE EXPLAIN GREGG NORMAN WHO SAYS TO GET RIGHT BUTT CHEEK
    TO TURN TO TARGET. AND HE WAS ONE OF THE BEST DRIVERS OF ALL TIME. YOU
    MIGHT FEEL LIKE YOU ARE GETTING MORE COIL, BUT IF IT DOES NOT FEEL NATURAL,
    DON’T DO IT. THE GOLF SWING SHOULD NOT FEEL RESTRICTED/OR TOO LOSE
    EITHER…JUST NATURAL, WITHIN ONE’S NATURAL FLEXIBILITY BACK AND THROUGH.
    IF SOMETHING FEELS UNNATURAL OR “FORCED” OR OPPOSED TO WHAT YOUR BODY FEELS
    LIKE IT SHOULD DO MORE NATURALLY, THEN DON’T DO IT.

  14. Hi mark love the vids. Any chance of a tip on how to look at the ball at
    address. I was looking down the shaft at the ball and found it gave me a
    very high ball flight. I have now been looking more behind the club head
    and found alot more greens in regulation.nobody seems to talk about this
    simple setup. Cheers mate.

  15. Hi Mark, this lesson combined with a swing review you did on shoulder swing
    have assisted me enormously.While Im non handicap atm my consistency and
    accuracy with both irons and driver have taken a quantum leap by following
    your advice.I am now gaining alot more confidence and am developing a far
    better feel for the ball.Thanks for your blog as the reviews are great,the
    lessons are clear,easily understood and easily put into practice.And above
    all they are effective. Keep up the gr8 work!

  16. Mark, Great videos in general. Can you discuss what happens from the time
    you are done starting your downswing to the point of impact? Thanks

  17. hi mark, ive watched a number of your videos with great interest and i was
    hoping you could help me with a issue i have. I have recently purchased the
    mx200 mizuno irons and although im striking them very well and consistantly
    they are shorter than my previous irons and does not include a sand wedge,
    which has left my wegdes depleted. If i was going to renew a complete set
    of wedges what lofts, bounces, etc would you suggest for my bag. I feel i
    want lots of wedges for different scenarios
