I hope you realize how much people appreciate your content and how excellent a teacher you are! These instruction videos are absolute gold and make extremely difficult things so much simpler to understand. Thank you!

I'm getting older and the strength to knock that ball out there and timing to have all the variables of the swing synch at just that key moment are waning. This year, I've been simplifying my swing. I've taken to watching the likes of Steve Stricker and the better LPGA players for simple, efficient swings. My driving performance, both accuracy and distance, are improving a lot. It is putting some life back into my golf game.

I'm not sure of the demographics of your audience, but i don't drive the 280-290-300 anymore. For many, the never ending pursuit of incorporating the swings of the worlds greatest golfers with incredible hand / eye coordination and timing is beyond skills / abilities of the regular guy. Surely there is a simpler swing out there for the masses.

I'm looking and experimenting. I do enjoy the content of your channel. Always watching. . . .

Love this. Thought it might relate to my swing so I tried it the other day… wow! Honestly feels like I’m swinging faster but with less effort. Shots weren’t perfect every time but they were much better than before. Really enjoy the content 👍

[johnpker]

I know this video is a day old but Mark… you have changed my golf game. The first time you spoke of tilts vs turns on shoulders absolutely transformed my golf game. It took a couple of days but the best way I can think of it and relate it is “mike Tyson upper cut on the back swing and then again on the downswing” if you stomp and tilt like you’re punching up in both directions it just clicks(at least for me) but that visualization would not be possible without you. So thank you

[SolomonLi]

Yes please! I love the ideas about connecting the face considering I’m trying to swing the club with speed. It’s also easy to follow, which is a sign of some great coaching. Thanks Mark!

[The-OC]

Love that shoulder down drill, that along with the pulling the grip back through impact is really helping my tee shots.
Thanks as always Mark. 👌🏽

[tommoss]

Thank you so much for this, I have been guilty of all of this through the years, and over time I end up circling back to these faults mixed with different ideas of how to get the club into the ball with what feels like the greatest efficiency

[christopherlee]

Mark, love all your videos. This video has really brought me a lot of consistency and power with driver, but it makes me feel like I have two different swings. A driver swing and an iron swing even putting setup aside? I’m worries this will hurt my consistency in the long run?

[alvor]

Some excellent advice on tis video. It has cleared up some misconceptions I had. Many thanks.

[hocheye]

Great tips, I hate driver but this will help me quite a bit.
I tend to not rotate my lower body as much as I should reducing my distance. Thank You.

[NPD-lkii]

Great video and ideas Mark. I think I’m doing multiple things that you mentioned. Looks like I’m going to the driving range tomorrow.

[rolandt]

Found this really interesting! It seems opposite to all the info that is out there, but I've been struggling lately off the tee and some what I've seeing in this reminds me of a time when I was hitting the driving well, despite being somewhat contrary to what I thought I should be doing. Excited to try these tips out at the range this week, thanks Mark!

[kirklobb]

Great video Mark!! Would you use this technique with irons or just driver? Thanks again!

[roadtoscratchgolf]

When I started understanding that the trail shoulder should be tilted down right before impact and drilled that into my swing, I started hitting much better drives. I now feel as if my trail shoulder is hitting the ball and that my hands are coming under my shoulder and not out. The club naturally comes out towards the ball but not my hands. Thanks for sharing. Cheers.

[dloc]

Such good point on the wrists flexing down.

[fredmcmichael]

I was at a golf tournament and watched Steve Stricker hit the ball in this manner. Absolutely impressive how far he hits it!!

[BruceLowe]

I’ve introduced the ‘flipping’ (not flipping) technique a few weeks ago after seeing this idea in a previous Mr C video….’don’t be daft’ I thought, how is that going to help! Struggled to commit to the idea as couldn’t work out how this would help. After 3 weeks and six rounds, I still don’t know how this works but it just does.

[Adrian-ibt]

Superb Mark
As always

You’re welcome 👍

[jamespickering]

Great video. Really like that you challenge the so called norms and online experts who don't actually know what they are talking about.

Could I ask for a video for players with lower back pain that struggle to turn like we did when we were 21? My hook is worse now and it's killing me. Thanks in advance.

Best driver adjustment I made was to take it out of the bag. 240 with a 3W allows me to play tees up to 6, 200 yards with no problem. For reference, I'm 63 & 5' 7" on a warm day, so 240 is a decent poke for me.
