Thanks for the amazing comments. Is this something you have ever thought about in your set up? If you want to learn how to compress your irons better watch this video ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-fYWRO6ddgD0.html

Cheers my man. Applied this today in a rainy bad weather round . My lowest back nine ever and hit 90 % of my shots with no fats or tops😊😅. Great advice here 👍

@vicpnut1 9 месяцев назад

When ever my irons start going bad my first check is that I’m getting blade flat at address….it’s the one check that will more or less fix it all for me, or at least get me through the round iron-wise..

@DavesRabbitHole 16 дней назад

Thanks Mark, this is really interesting, I’m a mid handicap player that doesn’t play much, maybe half a dozen times a year, but I’ve played for over 20 years, and get time to practice at the range more than I get time to play. Which is probably quite common. I have NEVER heard anyone describe stance and setup as a way of creating different shot shapes before, I always manipulate my grip to close or open my face and then use my alignment to manipulate the path but keep my stance the same. I’m aware that different lies (ball above/bellow feet) can add draw/fade and push/pull shapes, but your suggestion is something I am going to try as it seems like a much more practical way to create shot shapes than manipulating the grip. I don’t have trouble with my method of creating shapes, but results are inconsistent, sometimes it’s hardly noticeable and sometimes it’s borderline hook/slice, your method seems like it might be more predictable. My natural shape is a draw so I’d imagine I only need to practice a more upright stance to get the fade and neutral shape.

Mark - just want to say I appreciate these 'beginner' lessons or reminders.

@joannaespley6035 10 месяцев назад

Reaffirming basics is so important - I often overlook them.

Man, the quality of how this is produced from end to end is very impressive.

@johnsylvester1500 9 месяцев назад

Your mention of a cricket stance being upright reminded me that having come from a cricket background, I addressed the ball in a rather upright manner when I first started playing golf after retirement. After lessons in "proper" stance I gained more distance but lower scores. After turning 75 I went back to a cricket stance and stroke and dropped 5 strokes - still FAR from scratch. I lost distance but increased accuracy being able to hit to "Long-on" and "long- off" on demand, no more 5 lost balls per round. Great information that I wished I had when I first wanted to play with a more classic golf swing but too late for me now!

@dazaaw 10 месяцев назад

I’ve forgotten this really helpful information, thanks Mark. It totally explains why I’ve been overdrawing my irons I’ve got lazy on posture and I’ve been setting my hand too low (more comfortable) I’m going to work on returning to neutral and working on getting my fade back on the course. 😊

@dr.philtskin 10 месяцев назад

This is such an awesome video! This is one of the "tests" i've implemented at the range when Im filming my swing when noticing patterns change. Im a cut player, if im starting to hit draws or hooks, or an over-cut, i find the lie plays a huge part in it!

@daniera7635 Месяц назад

Thank you Mark I give it a crack.

@johnwallace520 10 месяцев назад

Great lessons Mark. We always need reminders to stop us falling in to bad habits and spoiling the game.

@rufussthoo4083 10 месяцев назад

Thanks Mark. Your explanations make the seemingly complicated appear so obvious. Being both an equipment and swing tinkerer, I was aware of the effects lie angle, grip, hand height, posture etc. has on start direction, path and shot shape. I've always managed them as separate elements. But I never considered the influence lie angle has on grip, hand height and posture. I don't know why, but I just never saw the link so this has been illuminating. Cheers.

@ashleywilkes7116 9 месяцев назад

This is the video I did not realise I needed. Came here after just getting fitted and been missing my irons to the left. Assumed it was because I was still using toe up but moving to a stiff shaft from a stiff flex. I have come away not only confirming that but also how I can use the lie to direct my flight. Will be trying this at the range this morning. ❤

@paulmount1119 10 месяцев назад

@nickpritchard7130 9 месяцев назад

@stephenwright8476 10 месяцев назад

What an eye opening video. I have recently been struggling to draw the ball but have been working on reducing a fade over the last few months. This video does bring the question to me, am I too upright, do I need to made sure the irons I’ve used for years actually suit me. How can I book an inspirational lesson with you mark?

@napkimplz5416 10 месяцев назад

Could you also talk a bit about how the club face should sit at address? I heard with a neutral grip, if you have a little forward press, the club will sit couple degree open. Is this correct or should the edge be square / perpendicular even with slight forward hands? Thanks Mark

@jtonne3057 10 месяцев назад

What a great way to reaffirm grip. As a tall player, I tend to get wear my glove out on the heel pad of my hand (opposite side of my thumb), down by my wrist.

@simondacosta1964 10 месяцев назад

@rickypearsall7559 10 месяцев назад

Does this correlate with driver as well?

@3f34f2f4 10 месяцев назад

What if someone has a 29" inseam? Would junior clubs be better?

@MarkCrossfield 10 месяцев назад

Haha 😂

@SolomonLi 10 месяцев назад

To be fair, looking at angles at an angle takes some getting used to. LOL. This is interesting though in terms of adding layers of understanding surrounding how the club is flung around and some consideration to lie when hitting that next shot… Thanks Mark!

@karldann3107 4 месяца назад

Mark. I tried a club 1 inch longer than my normal and it was standard lie and I'm 2 degree upright, but found with it being longer the toe instantly raised off the ground like my upright ones. Would this work long term?

@bengeist3227 10 месяцев назад

Basic yes but actually more advanced in how you explain the lie sets up patterns. Good stuff Mark.

@lawrencestallard2254 10 месяцев назад

Hi Mark. Just watched this but I have a question. With the toe slightly up, when you play your shot and with the shaft flex, won't this make the sole of the club either flat, or slightly toe down?

@MarkCrossfield 10 месяцев назад

All things equal yes that’s why it’s “standard” practice. 👍

@rmcfete 9 месяцев назад

What about where you stand for different results I the first time I ever hit a ball on a par three course remember Snead nine iron, had to play in line with the back heel back foot you would say and hit it not behind but on the down swing clean I put it 10-14 feet from the pin.

@Shalayne-TheOriginal1965 10 месяцев назад

Why can't I save your videos? They are very informative.

@rolfvandulst1605 10 месяцев назад

I suppose lie angle of the club is also why we aim right or left if the ball above or below your feet?

@MarkCrossfield 10 месяцев назад

Yep 👍

@drdirtnap4430 10 месяцев назад

Hey Mark. If you've done a video on this before, sorry - but can you give some tips on how to get around a course that isn’t...the nicest? My typical track has a lot of bare spots you'll land in that are just off the fairway/green side rough or even on it, really hard sand bunkers (this is the biggest problem for me personally, the club basically cannot go into the sand), uneven tee boxes, etc. It's the closest course to me, and it's where I play a weekly men's league. Would love to know if there are any hacks you can recommend. Thanks!

@dsc-nr5zy 10 месяцев назад

If he never gets back to you, lemme tell you how I navigate it. The bare lies can be either like hitting off a cheap driving range mat or concrete (some give, or no give). You have to figure out which it is. If you have enough give in the soil, you can try gliding the club into the ball by hitting a smidge behind the ball, so you are able to present grooves higher up the face. That's the cheap range mat method. If there is no give, then you'll need to assume every shot will be shorter and possibly leak right because you'll be hitting thin and will need to cut across the ball just to get it up in the air. You'll basically want to pick it clean so you don't hurt yourself, too. That's the concrete method. Sand shots are fairly easy. Just use a square face and chunk and run. Just hit an inch or two behind the ball. You don't have fluffy sand to hit through, so there's no need to do anything with a bounce. You need to dig and get through, hence square face (maybe even shut it a little - experiment with it). It's a different way of playing than you would pure conditions, but you'll be very good on pure conditions when you see them. Good luck!

@bigfundonttrip6297 9 месяцев назад

2degree upright + 1 inch length weak grip toe down results in straight shots 😉

Should more golfers play clubs with flatter lie angles?

@paulgreener3433 8 месяцев назад

Do u teach

@No_Fear_33 10 месяцев назад

Golf is 100 times easier using these tips with one length clubs from LW to 8i only. Trust me. If your bottom 6 clubs all one length 37" u will have a 150 yard and in master control.

@finnguzz6448 9 месяцев назад

Stop picking on Lou. (At least you didn't mention the 29" inseam)😮

@mattflenniken3981 9 месяцев назад

Lie angle needs to be measured dynamically (at impact) static measurements at address is BS. Get the golf swing in good form from your pro then be fit to reward the motion.

@TheBigBananaaa 10 месяцев назад

🙀

@rickgray2465 10 месяцев назад

Always keep the tow end up and you must keep the balls clean.

@rmcfete 9 месяцев назад

The only thing I don’t like is that you always have a flat lie what about if you are in a divot

@stevedre 10 месяцев назад

Way too complex for a simple physics rule. The club moving through space naturally droops lower because of shaft flex. More flex engenders more droop. SO the Set up MUST have the toe up. Also, most people swing dynamically with their hands higher at impact to create room for your hips to rotate. SO even more droop. Bottom line: You need to test your lie hitting off a lie board OR a reliable launch monitor to calculate your proper dynamic level impact position of the club head.

@MarkCrossfield 10 месяцев назад

Lie boards are not great. Please use a launch monitor.

@MarkCrossfield 10 месяцев назад

@SL0409 10 месяцев назад

Picked up a golf club for the very first time in April at aged 40 and instantly fell in love with the sport Ive only ever played on my local 9 hole par 3 course First time I shot 68 (+41) My 8th time at the course I shot 42 (+15) Thought I was getting better but my last 2 times around the course have been absolutely horrendous I only use irons/wedges (because it's a par 3 course) and I cannot for the life of me get the ball in the air. Every shot (and I mean every single shot) just rolls along the grass. Some go 20 yards some go 50 yards but EVERYTHING is just scuffed across the grass and I don't feel like I am doing anything any different I know it's a hard sport but the last few times around the course is seriously disheartening and I'm quickly losing the enjoyment 😢

@@MarkCrossfield cheers Mark 👍🏼 I feel there's so little content out there regarding the left miss. I've struggled with it for years but I find this adjustment has helped me the most ⛳🏌️🙂
