A lot. But mostly on takeaway and P4 position (in my case: not getting too deep!), not consciously on maintaining good structure in the width. One of better recent ones Mark, thanks! I can feel a slow motion smartphone session coming up this weekend to check where I am on this :-)
Pretty much, from take-away to shaft first parallel. If the first part is done into the correct direction, the momentum will carry up and towards a proper top and transition.
Lot of am. players have the y-shape mirroring the proper one in a way, that the trail arm and clubshaft makes the straight line. I’ve got a student, who has 160º of ”release” from the top to impact and the front wrist brakes into severe extension, yet he’s not scooping the ball. This is something, I’m going to implement in his practice in the future.
As a new golfer and just in the beginning of learning to play as I have recently just started to enjoy golf, this is such great advice. I have somewhat already swung this way, but these added extra tips are very handy 👌. It is difficult to get a very detailed video of good advice in golf! I appreciate your videos. I had to subscribe to keep on a lookout for more great advice 👏👏
Brilliant video. Just by chance this morning I was trying to steady my entire swing so I was pitching like this in the video. Adding the small y and wrist extension will be great to add in. I feel my right arm gets stuck in my current swing!
This will be helpful to what I’m currently working on with my golf instructor. My issue -problem point is wrist angle on downswing to close the face @ impact. I think this drill will help me. For the Americans out there, translation for tummy button is belly button!
I can play decent golf though with very little power any more. I find these videos at least hilarious in my case because my right wrist has been completely surgically fused 3 times. Most things in the golf swing depend on "lead wrist" bending in a certain way lol. No can do but have learned to get around it somewhat. Cheers
Awesome video as ever, this really helps mark. One question , who you do this same move with the driver ? Keep the lower case y and add wrist movement once you get comfortable? Thanks again
I just listened to your Hack it Out podcast on Shaft Lean. In that you share that an average PGA pro with a mid iron has almost zero shaft lean at address (capital Y), but here you are promoting significant shaft lean (small y). Is this a contradiction or what am I missing?
Great question. So we see ranges of up to 2/7 degrees lean at address from the “learners” on tour. The issue we she with am golfers is weak shots weak grips and weak use of loft. Making the y better than the Y for less skilled golfers. Remember to always take on to one to really find out what works for you as a golfer. Hope that helps. 👍
Unfortunately when you constantly change between what's the right way to do things and the wrong way, you risk being confusing. It took real concentration to figure out. When the difference is so slight at the top of the backswing, between what you want us to do and what you imagine we are doing, then it's easy to get lost. Otherwise, excellent!
If you need 12 minutes to explain it, I’m afraid it isn’t a simple solution for a smoother swing. Nope, I”ll stick to stack and tilt. Much easier to deploy.
How much do you work on your backswing?
A lot. But mostly on takeaway and P4 position (in my case: not getting too deep!), not consciously on maintaining good structure in the width. One of better recent ones Mark, thanks! I can feel a slow motion smartphone session coming up this weekend to check where I am on this :-)
Can this same feeling easily translate into the driver Mark?
Always work on the backswing as it feels easier to implement. Would be nice if you brought back lessons with students (I'll be your test student 😂)
Pretty much, from take-away to shaft first parallel. If the first part is done into the correct direction, the momentum will carry up and towards a proper top and transition.
This might be the best tip on YT

No nonsense top tip, Mark. Super concise & demystifying, thank you.
Very helpful.. actually something I did learn and understand, but realize I don’t execute it sometimes.. thanks for the refresher.. explained well
Very interesting will give this a try.
Let me know if it helps
I needed this and more. Got a new subscriber 👍🏻
This is a great video Mark. Really simple to understand and reproduce.
Yeah totally. Hope it helps your golf.
Thanks . That really simplifies the backswing.
Totally.
This helps a ton. Very easy to replicate at setup also. Thanks Mark!
“y”es please!!! LOL. Great instruction as usual Mark! Nice and clear. It’s great to see how it all fits together.
This sounds like the answer I’ve been looking for. I rarely feel like my hands are in the correct position at the top. I can’t wait to try it.
Well done mark 👏 😊
Thanks. 🙏

Fantastic lesson Mark.
Thank you as always
Always welcome
You make sound so simple, s i cant wait to give thus try. Thanks
i try to hold that plate in the backswing finish. cheers !
Great way to simplify the move. Cheers
Nice one Mark!
Hope it helps
Thanks Mark, beautifully explained 😁😁😁
Awesome video as ever, this really helps mark.
One question , who you do this same move with the driver ? Keep the lower case y and add wrist movement once you get comfortable? Thanks again
I’d love for you to do a video about lower body movement in the golf swing. My trail knee locks out, my less knee collapses inwards
Thanks a lot, lovely explained!! What if your right shoulder exo-rotation is limited? How to set the club top of the swing then? Thanks!
Thank you cheers
No problem 👍
New to golf for the chip shots around the green etc do I need a 64 wedge?
Not at all.

Thanks Mark, that helps. Love the POD btw.
@@GregSmith-ox5ou 👍👍
Would you agree the only feeling in the backswing with the wrists is to extend the trail wrist

This comment is not long enough to make any sense to anybody.
Umm... You don't do the "lower Y" @3:20 when you are showing the drill, you have a capital Y. Confusing.
