  1. Hi Mark, I posted my swing a while back (The Golf Swing Weekly Fix Hip Turn
    and more 20Nov 2012) and was told this was bending backwards (negative
    spine angle)? Is this because MY swing needs to “feel” like its more
    Positive (thus ending up somewhere in the middle) or is this something i
    need to ultimately achieve? This post not intended to discredit you, its
    just i am sometimes prone to the fat shot myself. I have put into practice
    your advice and have shot in the 80s for the first time ever!

  2. Great vid I have tried this drill putting the ball forward to make you
    attack it and it works a treat.

  3. Sorry mark but the thing with changing the path and so on is not very good!
    I had also the same problem and my pro said said I need to swing more
    compact and he teached me the richt club path! so he putted a few plastic
    bottles there where my club normally went and like that he teached me the
    right path and also he made some really short swing almost chips and then
    pitches and then full golf swing till my path and my face were straight!! 3
    weeks later i had a straight ball flight sry it`s a bit

  4. great tip on fat shots- worth posting that as a video on itself couldn’t
    concentrate fully though as thought you’d smash that ipad on the mat! Ha
    ha! thanks for the video

  5. I don’t think Mark is suggesting that changing the path is a cure all but
    rather it will help the guy to understand that even though he is closing
    the face at address, it is not closed to the path which is why there is
    left to right shape. If the guy swings on a better path he will hit a draw
    or hook so may naturally start to neutralise the face at address. Thinking
    about 3D space has been a massive game changer for me over the past few
    months.

  6. Super stuff as always. When I saw your “How I Change My Angle Of Attack
    Golf Lesson” I thought that could explain why I can have a good driving
    day, be swinging well but very consistently be hitting the irons slightly
    fat. And then in this weekly question it is exactly as I understood. I
    think you’re starting to get through to at least this hacker! Also keep
    numbers coming, they do help.

  7. jeeeesus Mark, talk about a mathematical conundrum! confused.com 🙂
    excellent video as usual. If you ever moved over to the Home Counties I
    would book a lesson in a heartbeat. I may pluck up the courage to submit a
    vid one day

  8. the numbers make way more sense to me lol its now just a matter of
    executing it right, thanks for all ur vids ur the best

  9. How about doing some analysis on Bubba’s swing…and explain how he hits it
    so far and also how he controls where it goes.

  10. Thanks so much for the fat shot fix drill! Can’t wait to try it out on the
    range since I’ve been hitting 3-5 fat shots a round lately.

  11. Mark, thanks for your vids. They’ve really helped me a lot. I’ve got into
    thinking. For me I don’t think I have a consistent swing. At any one time I
    could swing well, have one or two faults or lots of faults all at once
    (that last one more often then not!). SO my question is how do I approach
    hitting balls at the range? Do i hit a good shot and immediately hit more
    or wait and hit another after a short break? Or, vice-versa, hit a bad shot
    and immediately hit more to try and correct it?

  12. Hi Mark love vids, best on YouTube! Follow both channels and have the app.
    Sorry not on Facebook or Twitter so hope don’t mind me asking question on
    here. Have ping k15 driver so is draw bias. So Club face sits closed to
    target. How do you set up with this club. It feels strange with the club
    face pointing left of target. Plus because of that it is hard to know where
    the equivalent square face to target is anyway, in order take advantage of
    the bias. Help would be greatly appreciated. Martin

  13. Mark, awesome video! I’ve been taking lessons and once I strengthened my
    grip and started feeling like the club face was more closed on takeaway it
    really helped not only my golf swing, but my understanding of it. I was
    with you the whole way on club path, face to path, and the swing path
    itself. I think people that slice the ball are oblivious (like I was) to
    what is causing their slice or other faults. Thanks for posting such
    VALUABLE content.

  14. It’s not a good day until i’ve had my daily dose of great golf tutorials!
    Great vid, especially the live action bits to demonstrate what you’re
    saying.
