What shaft is that in your driver, Mark? I've never seen one like that.
Nice 👍🏻
My default error is I get into a good position at the top but then start downswing from top and get a bit stuck and don’t transfer weight. Think the step drill could help my sequencing 👍👍
Here's a crazy problem I have. 4-6 iron is great 7-pw is terrible. Started last year. 230yd 4iron and 155yd 7 iron. Don't know what happened but I do feel I'm adding loft to short irons.
Can we golfers come up with another term other than ‘compress’? I just see an image of a ball being squashed vertically between a 10 ton weight and a concrete floor. It does nothing good for my swing.
Best, most complete video you've done in a while. Nice reminder…
Yet another lesson gem great drill Mark Matt from Wilmington nc big fan thanks
This drill seems kind of similar to how Paddy Harrington plays. If I recall he was using it as a drill and hit it so well it translated to his actual game…
Great to see the channel growing Mark! Content is always accessible but offers detail and options. Ive been watching for 10 years and I still look forward to a video dropping! ❤
Mark slow your verbal descriptions down. You're talking so quickly at times, it is very difficult to hear each word clearly. Less Espresso before production may help. The pace of the verbal is also very exhausting and not as engaging as most of your past productions. It appears that you're in a rush to get it over like an unpleasant chore.
As a fan since you started, these hurried videos are far less pleasant and appealing, though the content is exceptional as always!
Nobody clarifies the compression term. I wish people in the golf lesson biz would just forget the word. It’s not just unclear, but people use it all the time in a false way to create incorrect impressions. They say thinks like, “you want to hit down on the ball so you can compress it.” Or, “you want shaft lean so you compress the ball.” They talk about it like it’s an on or off thing. You are always compressing the ball. You compress it more when you transfer more energy into it. Aka, when you hit hit harder. It’s a matter of degree. I wish teachers would just say, “do this to transfer more speed to the ball.”
True or false? Compression is a factor of clubhead speed and acceleration at moment of impact. Meaning maximum clubhead speed is after impact.
Mark can do a video on how passive / active your arms should actually be in the swing 👍🏼
Great video Mark! Very clear explanation of the swing detailing feel action throughout the movement. I will watch this video again. Thanks!
Explains how to feel the right forces in your body is everything. The physics of all good swings have those key commonalities. Practice the right feels can really make all the difference. Great approach, Mark- per usual!
Great lesson. Thanks.
Good stuff as always Mark! I feel like I have this problem with more lofted clubs for sure. Just the breakdown stuff is always a pleasure to watch with these drills and how it helps us understand the purpose of the drills…
I think “compressing” and “flighting” the ball are commonly confused with each other. If you are making contact with the ball on the club face, that ball is compressing. Whether you are hitting down and de-lofting the club or flipping and hitting up, making contact is compressing the ball. “Flighting” or “trapping” it to create lower launch and a more penetrating flight is different. As a master fitter, I get really tired of guys coming in saying they “don’t compress the ball” because they don’t have the speed/strength to be really steep and swing through the turf. Swing your swing and make sure it gets the results! The score card is all that matters at the end of the day. I don’t care if you hit a putter the entire time and roll it down the fairway to break 100. I’d rather people have a better understanding of the goals of golf rather than get caught up in the semantics of what the swing looks like and what the numbers say
I think it’s just the lack of clubhead speed. That’s why we can’t hit a long iron.
I have felt that lead arm abduction you mentioned when drilling my down swing sequence and thought I was doing something wrong although it did feel like a powerful movement. Hitting the course with some mates tomorrow and I'll definitely work this into a practice swing. Let you know how it goes.
Just the video I needed, thanks Mark!
Very good explanation!! I love watching Ben Hogan because of his right hand body connection to the body (I’m right handed). Thank you, Mark!!
Just finished my round after watching this video last night, never hit my irons so pure and consistent, and gained atleast 12-15 yards on each club!!!! Thank you very much mark. Off to turkey saturday, bring on the pasha/ sultan and the montgomerie 👊👊👊👊 cheers bruh
Mark you meant lead arm adduction for downswing…great video!!!
Great video mark, can you do an up to date one for the downswing with these ideas in mind? I swing driver 120mph and struggle with snatching from the top and coming in really steep. Love how you explain your ideas in the videos and would help out a lot
Been following your tips, rebuilding my swing. After 4 months I went to the course to measure my swing. Took 17 strokes off my previous outing. Could have been more but had a few terrible holes. Thanks for all the great advice!
If you think this is good, search for dr kwon golf. He refined these step drills into a science.
