Love these 1 minute videos. Simpler the better. Thank you!

I committed to doing this on an entire round last weekend. For the first few holes I had some mishits thin, but I stuck with it. After I found the bottom of the swing, the rest of the round was fantastic. Hit the ball clean and straight nearly every time. One thing I did notice was that I had almost zero stress on my lower back. I also gained a few yards in distance. I think it’s because I’m using only big muscles and the swing is from the core. Thx for the tip Mark. Love your channel!

Great tip. The less we worry about the backswing, the more we can focus on delivering a square clubface to the ball on the downswing

You know, Mark, yours are the only videos with tips that I have tried that actually work. I’ve watched 10’s of videos about this position and that position, and that is absolutely no good for me. In some of your videos you say “feel like you’re doing this” or “feel like your arms are doing this” and that has transformed my swing over the past few weeks, so I thank you immensely for that 🙏

I heard Mark talk through this drill on his podcast with Lou and Greg. This has literally helped me drop 8 shots. Taking the wrist hinge and lag ideas out of the equation makes it so much simpler and so much more consistent. I'm flushing the ball so regularly now. It's made golf so much more enjoyable. I only have 2 swing thoughts now - hold on to the angles, and short backswing. Thanks Mark!

I suck as a golfer but actually found this out myself. This method works. I don’t actually swing my club all the way back either and it helps tremendously

[RDKID]

This is true, got a lesson 2 weeks ago where I was told this.
I used to loose 5/6 balls every day from sliced drives,
Lost 1 ball in the last 3 rounds and have taken 10-15 shots off my game

[TheNextFairwayOver]

100% True. Work on this with all my students. Reduces arm over rotation as well.

[maxrochon]

I'm not the greatest at golf and was playing today and I did exactly what's done in the video and wow it made a huge difference. Could hit some beauty's

[WNewburgh]

It's such a relief to see this tip - I can go back to the way I used to swing the golf club years ago, quite successfully, with very little wrist hinge.

[Flash-Forward]

Im very new to golf and thats how i was told to swing. Now im hitting the ball so much better.

[LukeShrimp]

Thank you!! First time ever golfing (driving range) and I improved my swing tons after watching this video

[legend]

The Tommy Fleetwood swing. He calls them “windmill” swings and did this drill to improve strike only to find it was a very playable swing and not just a drill.

[danbradster]

Thanks for the feel. My wrists were really messing up my swing and release - chicken wing, flipping, rising etc. 'Contact from rotation, not wrists.'

[martinirons]

I had this problem as someone who is tall and hypermobile, the turning and all that just added so many mechanics and extra movement that my shoulders could achieve absolutely hoofing straight as a dime haha

[TheCannell]

For everyone saying he doesn't take his own advice at the end of the video. I think the point is how you perceive your swing is rarely what your swing actually is. Exaggerating the movements in your swing thoughts/practice swings are a very common tool to compensate for common mistakes in your actual swing. So you visualize this wooden swing, you exaggerate it in the practice and then with that muscle memory in your mind you make your swing.

[miaomiao]

I watched this just now before playing golf this is nice tip

[Congo]

I follow many of your drills at the range But can yiu suggest ONE swing thought to take on the course, Instead of overload of thoughts .

[markmatthews]

You are a funny guy, with gray golf tips. 🙂👍🏼⛳️
