Just so you know, JD golf academy is my local range and the golfer in this was my uncle! Great facilities and one of the best teachers I have ever seen. Love the local content mark.
It works!!! THANK YOU Mark! I went to the range to try. After two session my driver speed jumped from 100 to 105 while keeping a good smash factor and without hurting my back. Incredible. I have been training with a small radar (approach G80) since 2019 and take regular lesson with a pro. It took me years to go from 95 to 100. Off course as a golf addict I have tried many TH-cam tips to improve my speed and consistency. I never fully understood how to use the ground until I saw Mark jumping out his shoes and understanding the timing of it. To gain 5MPH in 2 range sessions…incroyable. Merci Mark.
Thanks for the lesson Mark and Joe…it was a fascinating couple of hours and I’ve definitely taken the info away and have been trying to implement it into my practice sessions…just hoping I can carry some of that over into my driving!
This is so awesome…and it was pretty clear what you were trying to get him to do! Thanks Mark! Really appreciated seeing the coaching process and how the work really transformed his club head delivery speed!!!
It's so interesting how much emphasis on power there is now in golf. Since strokes gained measurement became mainstream, we now understand how much of an advantage distance is in the game. Instead of modern teachers saying "slow the swing down to hit the ball square", now it's, "train your body to make movements that will create power, and you will score better anyway". Great lesson and explanation by the way, Mark!
100%. I an shoot par or under par when I swing in sequence dynamically. When I try to control the swing and the ball lucky if I am 10 over par. Real data.
I remember my tennis instructors would say the same thing. Slow your serve down and "get it in". Ignored them and just went for more and more power. Ironically the harder you swing the more it goes in due to the increased topspin!
That was outstanding. Just changing sequence and body movements to gain speed. There is hope for us all. Congrats to Mark H. That is quite some athleticism to be able to relearn body movements so quickly.
That's brilliant. Theres not many that understand the golf swing better than mark, iv learned so much about the gold swing from him over the years. I love info like this where it's so clear to see the difference
Really interesting - Well done Mark & Joe. One question I had was while looking at the monitor screen showing this dramatic improvement in swing speed, the strike position seemed variable (last one was on the toe). In general, what have you observed in student lessons regarding accuracy in hitting the sweet spot? Thanks again for a very informative lesson!
That's amazing info that all makes perfect sense when presented as it was. I've watched this four times! Can't wait to give it a try very soon. Thanks Mark!!
Mark, this video was amazing. It just shows us how much earlier we have to move and that our conscious mind can materially hinder our movements. LIke yiu said, we all need to get to using our subsconsious mind onkly in the golf swing and let our conscious mind concentrate on course management and putts.
Great video Mark. Real lesson teaching is THE best way to demonstrate changes to a golf swing. The best explanation away from the golf swing is throwing a medicine ball down into the ground. As my arms continue up, I go down to throw the ball from the top. It has made a huge difference to my swing speed without swinging any harder. Great video, thanks.
This was game changing for me, one swing thought of trying to maximize hand speed as early as possible gives me time to translate that hand speed to the club
Great video. Mirrors what I've been working hard on. I've been that guy. Please take everything you can from this. It absolutely works, and isn't as difficult as you may think. We make it more difficult. Relax, allow the feels, and you'll be there too. Really enjoyed watching this. Thanks.
Fantastic! Great video....I would like to get an analysis like this done. I have no idea what to search for in the Upper Midwest, I see your using gears and a pressure plate. Is there a name for this analysis?
Had a lesson at this place last year. Was great. Alas having a child means I haven’t practiced it enough (nothing comes for free) but when I have time to practice again I’ll be here like a shot (my wife actually owes me a lesson for xmas…). Really recommend people make the journey (I did a 90 min drive each way and don’t regret it at all)
Love this. Great content. Can you explain how increasing the vertical forces can help the strike? I can see how it would help CHS, but I would have thought that since you were adding another variable (vertical distance changes to/from ball), strike consistency would decrease. How does it help consistency of strike? Thanks!
Hi Mark - Im not the sharpest tool in the shed and need some clarity 😅 These statements “he was too passive at the top” “Taking you far too long to get the grip accelerating” “need to get these hands pressuring down quicker.” Seems like these are queues to activate the arms sooner but the rest of the video is about ground force. Can you clarify? 😩
Go and get a tennis ball, hold it over your head as if you’re going to throw it as hard into the ground as you can( to make it bounce high). Do your legs move ? They should bend, you get lower, before you throw the ball your legs will start to get straighter. I think this is the ground force they’re talking about.
And here I am trying to keep my spine angle and head still through the swing! ;) I still hit the ball 175 stock with my 7 iron but I have never thought about the "squat - jump" aspect that's being shown here. Seems like I would hit a lot of thin irons. I'll have to give it a go at the range.
I have been after you in some aid videos. But this video moved me crazy. I was fighting to keep 100mph driver swing with typical 145/146 ball speed. But now with this going down and jumping up I easily hit 102 and 150+ ball speed. What is best is that I actually not even use much effort that I typical did with very much sliding . I still need to learn the feel and rythm of the ground as my timing is a bit off sometimes, as I never used it. I guess with more practise 105 will be makable After one hour my issue is that I sometimes jumps a bit back instead rotating forward - but that is. because it feels so crazy still. And also the feel that I actually start to go down very early in the backswing. Crazy, to jump up in the downswing. can´t wait to try again
Great video and the guys at JD are brilliant. Had my first gears lesson this last week - so insightful! Be good if you made an appearance next time Mark 😜
Hi Mark C and Mark H. I want to give this a try but have some questions. 1. Is the squat down finished at the top of the downswing? 2. Do you start the lateral shift and push up at the same time you pull the handle down? 3. Are you timing your release before, at, or after the ball? Thanks!
Love the video. Well done. Great seeing such a big bump in speed. Makes me feel like I can have some hope. Just need to make sure it is controllable speed. Long and wrong is not very helpful.
Does the timing change in upward/downward body movement decrease the angle between hands and club face? And by so increase lag? Which increase club head speed?
This really is fascinating and impressive. I am curious about problems with early extention as a player trys to load up and push off. Im gonna try this (he has my issue) but remember to keep weight from R toe to L heel.
To echo what others have said, one of your best videos to date Mark. It shows what benefits modern date capture can bring to understanding where power is generated. Mark, one question I have, some instructors suggest you should try to generate maximum swing/hand speed by accelerating through the ball to feel as though maximum speed is generated post impact. unless I'm mistaken, I think you/the instructor were trying to get maximum speed by arms parallel. I'm interested to hear your take on this? thanks.
Great video Mark, is there anyone in the north of England that you would recommend with similar knowledge and facilities? I’d absolutely love lessons like these.
Mark, that's great! Really great!! And adresses exactly my "problem": I am quite strong and especially fast in all sports but I cannot get more speed in a 7 iron than 83 an no more than 98 in the driver. But tell me a drill I can perform to get to this motion in my normal swing. Without a proper drill I will not be able to incorporate this in my swing. Where are you located? I am from Germany. Thanks, Karsten
What worked for me is on practice swings, i literally jump off the ground during downswing. That ingrained the feel much faster. Some pros literally have their right foot in the air at the point of contact.
tin foil lady here... love all this analysis... as someone who has been out of action due to covid related stuff, that was my hope with the mevo.. think i may have solved the tech issue, breathing into the paper bag was a good starting point....joking aside have some limited data from 7 irion up as the mevo seems to struggling with the timber and of course hard to play or get any practise outside.. impatient i guess I am , having been on the sidelines of life for a good while...
Awesome content, but one question: the statement about tour peak grip speed peaking near shoulder height coming down made at 7:04 doesn't look supported by what was shown on GEARS at 2:03 when the pro swing was put up alongside (where both swings look to be hitting peak grip speed at about waist high but with a very big difference in shaft angle)
This is facscinating. If you look at the graphic at 2:01 would you conclude that his hand speed peaks too late, or that he throws away his wrist angles too early? Because it looks like the hands are practically at the same height as for the tour player, even though the club is much further away from the ball.
i think of the video where you talk about spearing the ball with the butt end. i keep that in mind and i had 6 iron going from 165 carry to 195 carry. this student is someone who i can relate to. im very concerned with contact and im holding back. when i let it fly i do strike it well.
Would it be correct to summarize as follows: to get peak speed of body movements at the right time he needed to feel like at left arm parallel back he starts pressuring the body down into the legs (maybe start feeling like he was pulling the grip down around the same time), and then at left arm parallel down he needed to feel like like he was taking that compressed spring pressure and push back up with it?
I've got a vid of Ricky Fowler trying to really hit it (over a corner playing Rick Shiels) and with the club probably 75cm before it hits the ball his left foot is already completely off the ground. That's how hard he's loaded it.
Im currently working on trying to incorporate right leg dynamism into my swing but I have a tendency to go upwards and miss the ball! Any tips to counteract this?
Great lesson! This easily could have been me: tall, fit, strong, athletic, etc. can throw a baseball hard, powerful tennis forehand but my golf swing is so incredibly ineffecient.
This was a JD golf near Oxford…the coaching via the pressure plates and/or the 3D gears system is available to anyone…details on their website…give them a call :-)
"Pivot rotation belongs to the deceleration profile and does not directly add speed to the clubhead. Therefore, it is important to understand that pivot rotation primarily aids in controlling the deceleration of the clubhead rather than generating additional speed. Loading the shaft earlier refers to the timing of transferring energy and loading potential into the clubshaft during the downswing, making use of the angular motion via the coupling point. It is about initiating the proper sequence of movements and transferring the energy efficiently to maximize clubhead speed. By loading the shaft earlier, the player can unleash the stored potential energy at the right moment, generating more power and speed in the swing. When discussing the wrist angle maintained at the start of the downswing and the position of the shaft in relation to the speed at that moment, it is possible to provide the player with a simple instruction to load the shaft earlier, without relying on tour player data. However, it is crucial to clarify that instructing the player to aggressively lower their hand from the start of the downswing does not necessarily imply asking them to load the shaft at the start of the downswing sooner through the coupling point (pressure point #3). These two aspects should be considered separately. Regarding the comment on Rory's technique (Rory, will lower his body well before start down, and jump two inches during the impact zone), it is important to note that Rory is not intentionally trying to jump. Instead, he is aligning his body angle well before the release by pushing his left foot forward and pulling the right foot back. Finally, what should be explained to the player is that they should load the clubshaft via the coupling point sooner at the start of the downswing. Before reaching the top, they should apply force to both feet and prepare for the release. By pushing the left foot forward and pulling the right foot back, the body will naturally lower without the need for the player to squat." Hope what will be some contribution Dr. Ken To
If you try to swing your arms (elbow to shoulder) as hard as you can forward in the downswing like your going to through your club but with arms only your lower body will respond as they were teaching.
Genuine question: how can club head speed increase by 10mph but carry distance only increase by 4 yards? Looks like great technology and would love to try it!
Is that your name I see on our tee-sheet for 7.30 (15th July) on Monday morning Mr.C? You’re an early bird! At least the forecast looks pretty good. We’ve been having awful weather lately. I hope you enjoy playing Portstewart Strand course. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍⛳️☘️
How much would a lesson like this cost someone who wants to get a lesson if this magnitude? I would love to find someone who has this type of technology in the northeast of America. This is just stunning how much data you have!
Interesting video. I am old school retired PGA teaching pro and I envy you with all this modern teaching tech. I bought my first camera in 1980 weighed a ton, cost a fortune, used vhs tapes. However, I do think this is all too complicated, dare I say it, to justify the expensive tech. 40 years ago, I would have just told this very strong gentleman to bend his knees a bit more at address and pull down harder with his hands and arms, which he plainly was not doing. He has listened to too many folk telling him to "use his body" instead of giving the club a good old swish with hands and arms, leg work following. Henry Cotton would have had him hitting an old rubber tyre (which I used until a client broke a club).
The main point you have failed to mention in your thoughtful response is. No guessing if that is the power source he needs to use. No guessing if he was timing it better And a much faster diagnosis giving the client way better use of their time. It would be like not having g the x ray because you can see it’s broken. Seems silly to me. Now if we are talking about g price of this tech yes it’s not for all coaches. But the ones who want to give THE BEST would choose to deliver clear facts not opinions. 👍
@@MarkCrossfield Absolutely, as I said, I am very envious of the tech. I was just trying to make the point (and obviously failing) that any decent old pro (and there weren't many due to the incompetence of the PGA teaching "manual") would have spotted the problem, as I am sure you did, within a few seconds. Confirmation via tech is useful to confirm the diagnosis. I would not recommend the rubber tyre though🙂.

This is so awesome…and it was pretty clear what you were trying to get him to do! Thanks Mark! Really appreciated seeing the coaching process and how the work really transformed his club head delivery speed!!!
This was really impressive. It still messes with my mind that a movement down and then up can still produce a consistent low point and strike.
Been trying it for ages and nothing consistent about it 😂 😂
Amazing Mark, really ties in with your swing change for more speed. Every day golfer would have zero understanding of the ground forces at work.

Regarding the comment on Rory's technique (Rory, will lower his body well before start down, and jump two inches during the impact zone), it is important to note that Rory is not intentionally trying to jump. Instead, he is aligning his body angle well before the release by pushing his left foot forward and pulling the right foot back.
Finally, what should be explained to the player is that they should load the clubshaft via the coupling point sooner at the start of the downswing. Before reaching the top, they should apply force to both feet and prepare for the release. By pushing the left foot forward and pulling the right foot back, the body will naturally lower without the need for the player to squat."
Hope what will be some contribution

I appreciate the initial instruction and student's improvement, but the explanations leave me wanting...
Really interesting. Where is this place? Any similar near Glasgow!
If you try to swing your arms (elbow to shoulder) as hard as you can forward in the downswing like your going to through your club but with arms only your lower body will respond as they were teaching.
Genuine question: how can club head speed increase by 10mph but carry distance only increase by 4 yards?
Looks like great technology and would love to try it!
Wow! Where do I get a lesson like this?
This was amazing
This reminds me of GRF golf... use the ground to 'drop and pop'... go down to spring up. If only I could nail it... 😕😉
Is that your name I see on our tee-sheet for 7.30 (15th July) on Monday morning Mr.C? You’re an early bird! At least the forecast looks pretty good. We’ve been having awful weather lately. I hope you enjoy playing Portstewart Strand course. Best regards from the Giant’s Causeway coast of Northern Ireland. 😄👍⛳️☘️
How much would a lesson like this cost someone who wants to get a lesson if this magnitude? I would love to find someone who has this type of technology in the northeast of America. This is just stunning how much data you have!
how do i get into this kind of lesson. ? Its exactly what I'm looking for
What kind of lesson is this? I’d like to find one in my local
Fantastic 👍👍
Interesting video. I am old school retired PGA teaching pro and I envy you with all this modern teaching tech. I bought my first camera in 1980 weighed a ton, cost a fortune, used vhs tapes. However, I do think this is all too complicated, dare I say it, to justify the expensive tech. 40 years ago, I would have just told this very strong gentleman to bend his knees a bit more at address and pull down harder with his hands and arms, which he plainly was not doing. He has listened to too many folk telling him to "use his body" instead of giving the club a good old swish with hands and arms, leg work following. Henry Cotton would have had him hitting an old rubber tyre (which I used until a client broke a club).
The main point you have failed to mention in your thoughtful response is.
No guessing if that is the power source he needs to use.
No guessing if he was timing it better
And a much faster diagnosis giving the client way better use of their time.
It would be like not having g the x ray because you can see it’s broken. Seems silly to me.
Now if we are talking about g price of this tech yes it’s not for all coaches. But the ones who want to give THE BEST would choose to deliver clear facts not opinions.
👍
@@MarkCrossfield Absolutely, as I said, I am very envious of the tech. I was just trying to make the point (and obviously failing) that any decent old pro (and there weren't many due to the incompetence of the PGA teaching "manual") would have spotted the problem, as I am sure you did, within a few seconds. Confirmation via tech is useful to confirm the diagnosis. I would not recommend the rubber tyre though🙂.
