Sean Walker says:

I had a eureka moment on the range. Loading the train leg on the back swing more. In my mind I think load then explode. That feeling is helping gain yards off the tee for me

Chris Carrier says:

Very interesting, I am on a simulator on Sunday and will give this a try.

Yo-Yo Zamolo says:

Mark, how tight are you gripping your driver?

Craig Maccoll says:

Definitely going to give this a go ??

Willie T says:

Mark – I recall seeing folks talk about Kyle Berkshire's pre-swing and the rocking he does. That is very much what you are talking here. Likewise learning to remain fluid and not full of static cling is key. The best hitters in baseball are fluid, likewise in tennis. Great lesson.

Garth Fairfield says:

Wtf is that shaft?bye Girls ?

STARKE says:

tennis players do not start from static, constantly moving….i hate tennis, but they are right and so are you.

Gruvemuppet says:

Such sage advice!

Gustav G says:

A loose and almost nonchalant backswing and downswing is the best swing thought for me, I think Rory once said, “it feels like I’m not hitting until I hit it”

Bob Reidy says:

Love your swing analysis stuff. The very first swing you did was mine……I think, because you can't see your self.

MrPunterd says:

Mark, I've been working on shifting my low point forward at impact which has really improved my irons. I'm struggling to figure out my driver and where my weight should be? I know I should hit up on the ball but I find myself hanging back and losing power. Any advice?

Michael Ford says:

Been listening to Rick Shiel's podcast, so excited for the YouTube masters! You & Coach have gotta be there! ? ⛳ Make it happen! I'm sure it will.

gtflyer says:

This rocking n your feet has really helped. I see so many folks on the range stand so still over the ball for what seems like forever, and I think to myself, why on earth are just standing there ? Good stuff Mark, thanks.

Nigel Wadsworth says:

That shaft looks so wicked. Love it!!

Mike McKivigan says:

“Locking myself in a state of panic”???

Tim Goulden says:

How about a brief (very brief) pause at the top? I have read/seen differing opinions on this. I find it helps me…not only with speed, but also quality of strike and face control.

Your thoughts?

WNewburgh says:

I think I've just found the secret of golf…….again! Seriously, found this really helpful on the course today.

Keith Gill says:

Just back from the range, this tip works! ? Thanks Mark

Joshua Haskey says:

Defo going to try this the static body lock is so true you get inside your own head where if you focus the movement process Is a good way to free the mind

joe church says:

Hey Mark, love the speed content and what you have done to improve it. Wondering if your handicap has lowered with the added distance?

Pendragon says:

WTF is that shaft! ?

Kim Hannemann says:

I agree completely. Only worry is too much sway. Haven't seen your daughter for awhile – I used to marvel at how lithe younger people are with their 720°+ swings …

theEntreriCode says:

Mark I have been trying to do just this to get more weight transfer going into my irons. I don't own a driver yet and my irons distance and speed is lackadaisical for someone of my fitness and age. Would you recommend the same pre-shot routine for irons/woods as well? Hitting up on a driver in my mind is more about hitting after low point whilst transferring weight to the lead foot so the mechanics of the swing would be same for the irons/woods with the only difference being the point of impact. Is my thought process correct? Thanks very much!

Rory O'Donnell says:

..Off topic, I'm looking for light weight summer golf shoes – yours look like they'd fit the bill – have a link to them pls?

Jared Dixon says:

Question if the ball starts straight goes off very right is that my club face is open at impact or that my swing path is wrong

Graham Wilcox says:

Great tip Mark I tried it at the range today and it really seemed to improve my ball flight, direction and dispersion, much more consistent.
I will be interested to see if there is any improvement in club speed at my next lesson. I’ve just got to transfer it to the course then!
Thanks ? ?

Davy Bell says:

Thank you Mark. What a great tip and something I’ve never heard anywhere else. I’m prone to getting stuck, especially on pressured shots or at the start of the round before you’ve had a chance to get into a rhythm.

Keith Hassall says:

Can you apply this sequence with Irons

Raza Khan says:

which shaft is this LOL. looks like a rainbow
