#GolfDriver #GolfLesson #GolfTips - กีฬา
I find I am opposite for tip 1. Starting back swing outside will promote an in to out swing at impact.
I was worried when Coach was in the thumbnail.
A guy who sets up so closed to the target; then starts his backswing so far on the inside only to come over the top on it at the start of the downswing, (but is still swinging from the inside) only to release hard from that inside path and then go inside on the follow though to produce that pull draw/hook off the toe that plagues him isn't the best guy for this tutorial (as much as I love him).
Feel like a hashtag of get coach to setup and swing more neutral should be trending, haha.
Mark is really good for this type of instruction.
Holy moly Mark, not only is the content great but that view from the tee is one of the most stunning I've ever seen.
Great stuff Mark. I've found that taking my driver way inside during the takeaway has worked best for me. 99% of the time that move sets me up way better than if I don't make that move. To be honest, I tend to get a wee bit steep, and that fixes that.
As usual thanks for useful tips and advice . Still very much a beginner at this golf business, you are certainly making it easier to understand 👍
Can we just take a moment to appreciate the lighting and scenery of this golf course?
Always great tips/feelings. The way you describe the shots is perfect. Ty.
Love these ideas especially the release drill - definitely going to use this on my next range session and work it into my game ahead,of the new season - cheers,Mark excellent stuff!!
Great content as always Mark , I worked on a drill my coach called the 4 thirty drill . Taking the club away in this style really helped
Good video. I miss the old live lessons you used to do years ago. Hope to see some again. Thanks
This video really helped me re-find a bit of form with the driver at the range last night. Thanks Mark!
Getting the face to square up continues to be my greatest challenge with the driver. All tips and video are more than welcome.
Great ideas and feels to incorporate. Excellent work Mark
Great tips Mark, thanks for this - “PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK”
I have to say I have just come across your channel albeit an avid TH-cam watcher. After watching this video I’ve just come back from a round at Els Club in Dubai and as a high handicapper I normally shoot high 90’s….. not today 87 and basically my tee shots were not ballooning right but actually pretty accurate, much longer and straight! 87 today thanks 🙏
Great to hear and happy it helped. 👍
Thanks Mark, one of your best videos to date. 🤩
Oh, and what a sunrise!
Thanks man..one of the best explanations I've seen..really worked for me from the 1st drive..played 6 rounds since you posted this and I've hit more fairways than ever.
Great stuff! Which course is this?
I do like placing the golf club at my finish position. Gets the mind to try and place it there. Thanks
Love your lessons
I really like this one!!
Excellent video….visit to the range this week now has a purpose. I’ll be trying these 3 tips
Mark, good tips... thanks... I need some.
Really good lesson Mark, thank you !!!
Excellent video Mark. Lovely. You really do a great job. Thanks
What I really like about your teaching Mark is that you understand that one swing idea doesn’t fit everyone. And because people have different ‘feels’ you give them a range of possible solutions. I think you’re right when you say that ‘feelings degrade’. I find that a feeling that works brilliantly one day has faded the next time I play. Of course sometimes that feel will work over a longer period but inevitably sooner or later it leaves you.
no better instruction on youtube....plus it's free!!!!! simple and easy to follow...will definitely be giving these drills a try once the course has dried out!!!
Have played golf for years and never understood the release of the golf club until now. Great video, hopefully will now resolve my driver slice issue
Hope it helps
Another great video can hardly wait to try it tomorrow.
Love it! also, setting up a tee or two to the right, for right handers is a good swing through for a right to left as well and visa versa...thanks Mark...love the short nuggets vids brus!
great content, being a handsy player i appreciate the topic..practice,practice,practice..nice job mc...
Helpful Mark Tks 👍
Thanks Mark. Great tips.
Like that Mark. Great simple drill
Great video, really like these ideas.
What lovely scenery.Where are you?
Nice one Mark 👍
Please stop my slice.
I have an awesome block right shot.
Very rarely slice the ball.
Will give this a go. 👍
Mark ove the tips. I was taught another thought which is to image there is a pillow 6 to 12 inches in front of my ball and the swing thought is to hit the pillow with the toe of the club first and not the flat face of the club. This taught me to turn the club through the ball as I have a habit of not releasing the club head. This got rid of my push fade slice straight away.
Mark great video
Very helpful. Thanks!
Beautiful backdrop!! A very Cézanne feel.
Will try those thought processes next time I am out. Anything which brings a more consistent drive is welcome
Great video. My driver is set up not to go left. I don’t need any help “please stop my slice” but do tend to hit a pull especially if my feeling of swinging out to the right about a foot in front of the ball starts to degrade. My ball flight tends to be fairly straight with a small fade.
Great tips Mark!
Btw, I used the split grip drill at the range today with a lot of success. Wish I had seen the driver release drill before I went there. These shorthand tips are very helpful.
Never mind the tips, that sky is beautiful
PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK!!! Great stuff Mark. Always love new little ways to help think about getting our heads around getting club heads…around.
I started using the Lee Trevino/ Jim Furyk figure 8 swing ( first of last season ) and I am hitting the ball more straighter and I am hitting more fairways due to hitting ball from inside, plus I have gained some distance too!!!
useful video. thanks
Another great vid 👍 Just a FYI for something you may not be aware of in the market. I got fitted for clubs and paid for them in Sept 2021. I’m still waiting for them 7 months later. Speaking to fellow club members, I understand others who ordered their clubs in July 2021 are also waiting for their clubs! Taylor Made fitted clubs are delayed by >9 months. Just thought when comparing clubs, service/delivery time should be another criteria selection to include. Thanks. Keep up the great work. 👍
Awesome video
Regardless of take away it’s all about the initial move on the downswing - right handers keeping that right elbow tucked in - and then really rotating through your legs to clear your hips. Take away on the inside may help you be on plain and take away on the outside gives the sensation when you know your bringing your club through the inside (difficult to slice and come over the top on an outside take away after all!). Both work but it depends what clicks in your own mind!
Good work mark!
I have used that 2nd position myself, works like a charm. I hit the ball straighter and longer.
Well worth a try, it makes sense to me.
I wish you’d been around on here when I started playing, time for this leopard to start changing
Dam Mark, this work 😀 You explain it so it is easy to put into training. Inside training for me now, a lot of snow in Norway 😨 Cant wait to get this into action outside.
I can strike my irons pure on a fairly consistent basis. My driver has always given me trouble. I have a hard time hitting up on the ball & the release felt awkward. Got on the simulator & used my buddys TM R1, what a difference. I stopped being so stiff & let the club release through contact, not sure if my angle of attack is any better but that driver makes it feel like it. Buying one next week.
I have been working on this for a while now I have my takeaway in pretty good order but I like the first idea as a good check point. I will work on that last one for the release as that part is still not under control. And. Fix my slice Mark
When I take the club inside, it encourages a better turn. I facilitate this by using a slightly closed stance and keeping the stance narrow. My swing thought on the downswing is to "cover" the ball with the clubhead. This encourages me to release the ball through the shot so I don't block it. It still heads right (when properly executed), but on a draw instead of a block.
Had a severe loss of confidence with the driver recently. Booked in to see the golf pro next week. Watched tip #3, tried it over the range tonight and Wow !! Best I’ve ever hit the thing . No dinner for the Pro next Wednesday 😆😆
Very good
I'm currently working on this approach.
Great video, thanks. (From a proud member of the Locky Army.)
Mark, I love your teaching videos and always learn something. I would like to add a 4th tip that you didn't address. Grip pressure. In my limited experience slicers of the ball tend to strangle the club and we all know that tight muscles move slowly. That tight grip doesn't allow the forearms/wrists to release at impact and the open clubface causes a block-slice or a pull-slice.
Agreed!! I actually grip tighter when I absolutely need a fade 😁
I like the idea of this drill.
I‘ll give it a try.
I was recently playing around with take away ideas on the range. I have always had a wide take away which for me encouraged an over the top downswing. I’ve started taking the club back on the inside which makes it easier for my downswing to come from the inside. It has made the world of difference. I’m now drawing my driver and my irons are straight, with a little draw. I only started tracking with Shotscope since the change, but my driving stats show 70% fairway, 20% left and 10% right. My old swing stats would not look like that!!
Same man. Feels so good after one year of golfing n struggling with driver. Finally can hit my driver
PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK ha ha. Great vlog I’ve tried this a few times and it works but I need to keep at it to get muscle memory. Especially 1st tee shot on a cold English morning 😂
That's a cheerful hat mate.
What course and hole is that? Beautiful scenery
Hey Mark, love the hat where can I get one at??
Mark, I almost feel I do those things OK, but I think my failure is that my follow through to completion gets a little short which then doesn't encourage that right to left or straight flight, by leaving the face "open" on follow through. I will work on tip#3 to see if that helps but wonder if there is something else that can get my actual swing to look like my practice swing where I look like someone is taking a picture of me.
Mark any golf advice for people with scoliosis?
Something that I appreciate about this channel is that you immediately start talking about the subject of your video instead of waffling through to hit the youtube 10 minute mark
Hi Mark I hurt my ankle is there any safe drill I can do so when get back on the course I might of improved or maintain my current level of golf 🤔
Can feel this I’m a high hands release this feels like my hands release lower more in front than under great feel.
PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK
Just hoping to get some free kit? :-) Thanks for the vid, good feels and situations.
I've got some type of mental block with my driver - suddenly can't hit the sweet spot, usually off the toe. Can you recommend any drills for improving my ability to more accurately and consistently connect clubface and ball?
Not I only do I change my swing path, when working a specific flight, I’ll also slightly change my grip. I’ll stand a little taller, and swing the club a little steeper, with more right side bend, and left exit, for the fade. I’ll also slightly weaken my grip, to insure that I don’t get the dreaded double cross(straight pull). Just the opposite for the draw…. I’ll reach for the ball a bit more at setup. This insures that I approach more from the inside. I’m swinging flatter, and more “around” myself for this shape. And again, I’ll slightly strengthen my grip, so I don’t hit the block, out to the right. Does my draw turn into a bit of an overdraw sometimes? Yes. Does my fade turn into a bit of a baby slice sometimes? Yes. I’m ok with those misses, because the shape is predictable, and the ball still ends up in play. Just some thoughts that may help someone…. I welcome any comments. Good, or bad. Would actually love to hear other people’s thoughts on this…
I agree 100%. A lot of people underestimate how much a minor change in your grip can change your shot shape. For me, it’s all about eliminating the 2 way miss. There’s nothing worse than setting up for a fade and then flipping your hands and hitting a pull.
Mark, can you help Coach Lockey hit the driver straighter?
PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK
Tip #3 is something I definitely will be using 2👍🏾
Question Mark….how do you stop yourself getting very flat if you are effectively encouraging a quick inside takeaway?
Great ideas to try. Bit I could only Like the video once, not 4 times....!
Hi Mark, I'm a huge fan of the "let the problem cure the problem" thinking. I've battled for years with being able to square the face at impact. And the one move that I basically did as a silly "lets see what happens move" is to open the club face as far as it will go on the back swing, it freaks my brain out and immediately draws all focus to the face position and I find it so easy to then feel the face rotating back on the down swing to square through impact.
Thoughts?
Please stop my slice mark. Great tips. Thank you.
I played a hole like that at West Cliffs (18th)
Oh my Gosh. Please let me know me know if I won your contest where a subscriber gets an all expense paid trip to that course so they can hit a drive on that hole.
For me, taking the driver in a more outside takeaway seems to encourage a more inside to outside path. Like a figure 8.
Thank you Mark, for a few years it seemed that lag was everything in instruction. In my experience, trying to create lag caused this exact problem where I became unable to release the driver properly. I now find I have to get the feeling of casting from the top in my practice swings to get squared up, I really struggle with it.
There was a whole teaching industry which misunderstood what lag was, they had everyone "hanging on to the angles". For most people that led to a steep swing plane in the down swing and a slice. There is nothing wrong with "casting" from the top - check out Larry Cheung videos about the down hinge, he actually encourages people to do that... to release the wrist angles early and just rotate through
@@justinstephenson9360 will do
You have to be careful not to take the club back too far inside because many golfers do not have the athletic ability to get out of the way on the downswing and therefore end up swinging around the body in an out-to-in motion which you are trying to teach us to avoid. Much better to imagine swinging "straight" back (not with a loopy motion) and allow a natural flattening of the downswing to bring the club from the inside.
Using Locky as the thumbnail for clickbait 😂😂
Tut tut tut... #Army
I respectfully disagree. I find when I pull the club back slightly outside it promotes me shallowing and moving it from the inside, where as bringing it more inside promotes me coming slightly over the top. But thats just my personal experience probably not what would be taught.
If it’s works defo keep doing it bruh. 👍👍
Please stop my slice Mark. - Actually it's gotten much better. Stay Frosty
I need one of those arrows pointing out fairways for me.
I really hope that anyone that needs this drill has a spare ball!
The one line: "getting the clubhead overtaking the hands" switched the light on.
"PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK" AND MY HOOK AND MY DUFFS
Hey don’t thumb nail the big dog if he’s not in the video. What a tease!
PLEASE STOP MY SLICE MARK 1 & 2 good, 3 will be tricky.
I know you have to do it this way because most people are horrible at golf BUT I HATE THAT EVERY SINGLE TIP AND DRILL VIDEO ON TH-cam IS AIMED AT 20HC PLAYERS.... would love to find something that's aimed towards the scratch to +4 guys... I'm currently +3.7 and have never had a teacher and can't find a single thing on TH-cam aimed at this level
Please stop my slice Mark!
