1. I will be trying this tomorrow. Getting the proper flex in my knees and
   angle of my spine has been a real struggle for me, making it hard to
   develop a consistent swing. Hopefully this little drill can get me started
   down a better path with my posture. Thanks Mark!?

2. Good info Mark.

3. hi mark, great tip. i found i was bending from the waist for years, didnt
   know how to bend from the hips till a friend of mine told me this
   tip..works for me, keep up the good work

4. lol at the ipad toss in the beginning

5. anything beyond that point and ur reaching

6. i use hands over atop of my toes……

7. i mean that when i bend over my arms fall and my hands r even with my toes

8. Why am I hitting my irons off the toe? My irons are half inch longer than
   standard, I am six foot two. Ball marks are mostly on the toe end of the
   club.

10. Mark did you put the JPX 825 Pro ITB? See you using them the past few
    videos…I’m getting a set in a week or so.

11. I enjoy all your helpful videos, but I think I’m still either standing too
    close or coming over the top too much. Could u watch my videos if you get a
    chance. Thanks in advance!!

12. Think most people try not to let on they shanked it lol I’m a 6 handicap
    and the odd time I hit one but it seems to happen when I try an ambitious
    shot lol

13. I thought you had to bend further forward for shorter irons vs long irons /
    woods. How does this drill work for longer or shorter clubs?

14. I use this every time I play golf and unless your looking for it, it kinda
    can blend in with your normal body setup so it doesn’t throw people off

16. haha, Mark!!! I knew you would cover EVERYTHING!! Watching golf fix and you
    together is worth $1000 an hour i swear!

18. Would to see you shank one into the trees! I bet it happens sometimes, you
    probably just edit it out 😉

19. @kdunnespeed1. It’s probably all in the head when you had that good round
    then went back to the range and shanked the first one you’d be thinking how
    did that just happen and the more you think about the shank you just hit
    the worst the next shots will be,the most common reason for shanks is
    swinging the club too flat therefore on the downswing your hands get too
    close to the ball or you could be standing too close to the ball and
    falling towards the ball a bit on the downswing.

20. Best vid yet mark only been playing few months hopefully this will help
    with my stroke.

21. hey mark, so a few days ago i shot my best round ever of +4 and i was
    pleased with every shot. i went to the range 3 days in a row after the
    round and have shanked evry single one! even when i make sure i dont shank
    it, i will whiff it or top it. it blows my mind that this is happening! i
    have truly lost it. it doesnt seem plausable that i could be playing worse
    than the first time i picked up a club. it really is true that once u think
    u have “it” you have really only borrowed “it”. any tips???

22. Great vid! Check out ForeBestGolf

23. Keep working on your posture and when your at the range I would use
    alignment sticks which helps keep your feet in line and your swing path.

24. Great tip Mark, helped me alot!!!

25. What are saying at the end of the intro?
