Professor Crossfield I will call you. You go for the intuitive
understanding, good teaching style!?
Thanks this really helped with my OT move. I really appreciated the video.
One interesting thing happened when the OT move went away, my club face
opened up 10-15degrees (I use swingsmart monitor to track progress). I’ll
need to fix that next.?
No more slice and over the top #golf swings with Mark Crossfield?
Cant help but agree with eddie brown unfortunately, this is a great drill
for feeling how the club works and how your body should work and initially
you start hitting it great and think wow eureka moment but eventually the
old paterns creep back as soon as you put your hands back where there
supposed to be that right shoulder starts to move out to the ball and your
back to square 1, as i said i think eddie is right some people have that
natural gift and as mark says it feel odd for him to hit from a outside
path i think thats something you have to have natrually the mere mortals
will always be fighting it, again this is a really great drill for feeling
how things should work and hit some great shots after doing it but
sustaining it is always the problem when its not god given?
Great lesson.?
Hi Mark, thanks alot for you videos. Ive been suffering from pulls and I
realize the fault is im coming in over the top. Im guessing thats why, when
ive pulled, get the feeling that my body has rotated more to the left and
not so much in a swingplane direction?
Again, many thanks for your videos. Your review of WilsonStaff FG V2 made
me buy those irons on a good deal and I havnt looked back since :).?
Swing the handle not the club head. Great video! You must have read Eddie
Merrins?
Thanks for your show I am trying to find why I can swing well at home but
as soon as I get on the the course I can not seem to hit the ball
correctly. It is like I try to hit it harder no matter how much I think
about not hitting it that hard.
I will try today method about swing and thinking about a center point using
the slit hand drill.
Thanks Bob
Keep up the videos!?
Excellent lesson, well explained, really addressed my bad shot.?
I already pull-draw it left, this will just make it worse if I let the
right hand get even more involved. I’m afraid golf is just harder for most
accept people like Mark. Probably only 10% of people that play golf
actually have that “it” gene that allows them to hit the ball fairly
consistently. The rest of us just hack it around, no matter how much we
spend on clubs and lessons.?
wont that motion promote flipping your hands over though mark , ??
Rainy day here in Paris. Good time to watch the old videos we forget.
Fascinating insight about swinging the handle.?
Hi Mark
My bad shots are hooks and pushes. I’ve tried the split hands drill before
without understanding its full value but your very clear explanation of how
the handle should move has helped me learn so much from the drill in the
last couple of weeks. The concept and a little practice of the drill have
produced a significant improvement in a very short time. Can’t thank you
enough.?
Hey Mark, awesome video! I am playing off a six handicap but still can
slice it 30 yards short and 40 right. Also I could not hit the ball far.
This video helped me loads. Gotta wonder how much you could help during an
entire lesson if your instructional videos help more than hours with my
local pro. Cheers.?
At 1:44 in your video you call the handle of the club the “black bit”, the
grip end, and the bit you hold onto. Are you for real? Do you really think
the average golfer does not know what the club handle is? Just because you
are an idiot does not make anyone on YouTube an idiot. You plonker?
Doesn’t that exercise give the impression to straighten their right elbow
too quickly before contact? In the actual swing, the right elbow should
be close to the body and still bent at moment of contact. The right elbow
then straightens out a little after the ball. What’s your thought on that??
hi mark,I have a problem with my hands coming through more away from body
at impact than what they were at address,OVER THE TOP.any drills.?
Is crossfield bald?? Does he ever not wear a cap??
Perhaps the best description of what “over the top” swing is. Nice one?
I assure of this – you can either hit the ball or you can’t and watching
Youtube isn’t going to change it. I’m a 4 handicap and have been trying for
30 years to quit pulling the ball so I could get to scratch – can’t do it.?
Mark = Boss?
You said that one should release and let the club head get in front of the
grip. Wouldn’t that cause one to lose compression and make a less solid
shot? My golf instructor wants me to keep my grip ahead of the club head
when I strike the ball. Which is better??
Also: Only thing I’d say about some of this is that (cf. Ernest Jones et
al.) while the head of the club “passes the hands” in one manner of
speaking, you don’t want the butt end of the club to lever backward
relative to a fixed point. You can have the “pivot around the center point
between your hands” as long as it doesn’t lead to the left hand, arm,
and/or side putting the brakes on and quitting. It *is* true, though, that
in the most efficient swings, points closer to the center of rotation (such
as the hinge about the hands and wrists) have to slow down to allow the
force to sling itself out into the clubhead. Otherwise, nobody could swing
the club faster than they could move back and forth literally in one
artificial, no-speed-producing piece.
I know *you’re* not saying that the butt end ought to stop entirely. I
just wouldn’t want somebody to misinterpret. That’s already the problem
with how a lot of people see release — as some kind of stop-and-throw
action. (Again, for anybody who wants to see an early treatment of this,
cf. Ernest Jones on levering versus swinging.)?
