I always get asked how I get so much “lag” and how can they, but they don’t understand that it fits the rest of my swing and how I move through the whole swing
Really important stuff here. Other than basic setup fundamentals, getting the clubhead coming in from behind my hands is pretty much all I do on the range. I try to feel as my hands and clubhead are coming down from behind me, as opposed to out front. When I'm striking it bad or hitting offline, there's a good chance I'm getting the hands and arms too far out and high, and tipping the club over. Usually, a telltale sign for me is the toe of my rather flat irons is too far down and taking the divots. Would like to see some instruction on the hand release in conjunction with this. So much instruction out there suggests a rolling of the wrists and forearms, or that the actual release is "flipping the club." That "flip" when released properly with the clubhead coming in from behind the hands and a little right side bend results in a ton of shaft lean, and speed.
Great video as usual. Basically the idea behind the Impact Snap?
Excellent. Well explained.
These myth busters are terrific. Can’t believe the 💩 that has been spouted for so many years. If only I could go back 10 years and work on these drills not lag and holds and drag handle 😫. Once you train on the wrong drills it’s hard to relearn the correct drills. No such thing as erase and re-input.
6:29…"This relationship is ….EVERYTHING". Mark here is talking about PATH. That should be the title of this video…"PATH…. IS…. EVERYTHING". The amount of lean can vary…diggers would have a lot, pickers..not so much. But ALL good players have good path.
This is definitely interesting… I like the simplicity of the feel with the head and hand relationship. I’ve seen something similar in Justin Rose’s pre-shot routine in regards to the first drill. Great stuff Mark! The goals are clear with these drills!
I watch your videos and always wonder how I've managed to play golf 😢
A Light bulb just turned on in my brain with this one! A Uereka moment. Thank you!
Mark, really enjoying these recent lesson vids. Have learned a lot. Thanks.
Lag and shaft lean is an effect, not cause.
Love the teaching content Mark but do miss the course vlogs. Hope you and Coach haven't fallen out.
I came across this realization last year after years of trying to force an impact position as you described. Started throwing the club with a turn and magically my shaft leaned correctly and bang irons were crisp as sunday toast.
Thank you. This could not come at a better time. That was what I was exactly doing. Over lagging, bringing my club in, and was hitting it thin, then i adjusted it and I was hitting the ground hard before the ball. Awesome. Thank you.
excellent tried this and it really works, go ahead say it (your welcome) thank you mark
Jeez this couldn't have been timed better, Mark! I've worked into a steep swing whereby contact has moved too far up the face with my irons. I still deliver from the inside, but way too steep. I'm going to practice this at the range later. The "feel" for me is maintaining a little more width on the downswing. Does that sound right?
Every real golfer for 8 minutes:
Please
Hit
That
Ball!
😂😂
I thought I was done with these epiphanies. Thanks. Definitely thought the shaft lean was from left over lag where the club hadn't released yet.
This could be a eureka moment! The feels I'm getting hear on my lounge carpet is that I'm swinging out at the ball instead of the down at the ball that I'm used to!?
Okay Mark, there is a problem with this video…..
….This piece of advice has single-handed ruined golf instruction on YouTube for all the others instructors!
If ever there was a magic move, this is it – Thank you for giving everyone the ONLY advice they will ever need to understand how to swing a club.
Thank you.
dang, that is a huge iron
Thanks Mark, that’s opened my eyes a lot. Greatly appreciated, one of your best!
First drill is basically what Pete Cowan is teaching these days. Essentially the cack handed drill
Any thoughts as to how someone that plays from a seated position in a specialty cart with minimal hip rotation can best achieve good shaft lead and ball/turf results?
Absolutely needed this, fantastic 👊🏻Mark
With the club at the horizontaal just before strike I note that your club face is vertical. Whereas a number of teaching pros (YouTube and at my club) suggest the club face should be aligned with the spine angle. With the vertical club face there needs to be more hand rotation to get the face at impact right than with the club face already a wee bit closed. More hand rotation leaves more room for error at impact.
OR is the club face alignment at this horizontal position simply a personal preference for each player?
Best Drill ever 😊
I never understood the idea of "holding onto the angles" or "holding lag". The angle that we were supposed to be holding onto was, at least according to many coaches and YT'ubers, radial deviation which when released adds very little if anything to the club head speed, path or face angle at impact whereas the key angle is the flexion or lack thereof in the wrist.
It does feel as though Mark's video on how the wrists should be, at least it terms of radial deviation, by half way down in the down swing is very similar to Larry Cheung's (whatever happened to Larry, he seems to have dropped off YT) down hinge ideas.
The drill Mark suggests is a great one, really forces the golfer to concentrate on the path the lead hand is making the club grip end to follow. Once you get the grip end path right the club head will follow naturally without any need to "hang on to angles" or even worse "assist" the club release. Momentum and inertia if applied correctly is your friend
Sorry Mark I Spoke to soon, I see what you're doing.
What about Sergio's swing, or Ben Hogan, Adam Scott, Jason Day and many others that use lag.
even today, if you say this stuff to lots of local pros or locally elite players, they will scream at you that you are wrong and that you need to hold off the release. then theyll cite your poor play and their good play a evidence. They arent aware of what their bodies are actually doing. Citing Paddy Harrington helps at times because theyll listen to him. I heard it from you and Monte Sheinblum 1st.
Thanks for all the great videos and tips Mark – great stuff! I am a dragger as you say – because I used to feel I wanted to scrape the ball straight down the line. However, dynamic forces brings me over the top as you said. Now I try to feel like as I get to the top, my hips slide left, hold my head back and as I start down feel like the clubhead is going backwards (drops it in plane as you say to stay behind the hands) that makes the swing plane feel laid on it's side to say 1 o'clock. That is, my 'tilting' (hip to head angle) feels like my spine is tilted off original target line of 12 to more like 1 and I put the clubbed/shaft back to swing on that plane vision. As I swing through, the dynamics of the swing then bring be square again. Am I seeing that in your swing too? You helped me a lot Mark – thanks!
This makes sense to me…
Yet another video that makes me want to get out onto the range and try something out. Mark, I don't think I've ever watched one of your videos without coming away with at least one fantastic tip/drill to give me something to work on. Thank you – keep em coming.
Your still the best on u tube, club tests, please , have you reached 170 yet, more please
