1. Another great video. Can you swing left handed mark?

2. hey mark what low spinning high launching shaft do you think works for the rbz driver for a guy who hits it 250 260 on average

3. New Skintite model? Don’t have that one yet here in Ontario, Canada.

4. mark, the right leg has to stay flexed during the backswing like you were saysing, this will stop the sway/bad shots. I took lessons with someone who has played on the nationwide/pga tour, worked with ben hogan , and he said that the right leg staying flexed was the major secret hogan had,

5. @ 10.50. When you talk about lean I think this might be because some people can see players backing towards target before the backswing.
   If you swing with the left arm and are preparing to pivot around left leg by using your ass as the counterweight I can see why this happens.
   Have I got this all wrong Mark?

6. Sorry I meant to say downswing. ‘backing towards target before downswing’. Can see it on swing vision with quite a few players.

7. Tummy button, great video

8. Hi Mark. Thanks for another video on swing plane. Is it absolutely crucial to have a shallow downswing? I’m only just over 5 feet tall and have a very steep downswing (As a result of starting with the hands and arms). I have been working on getting my hips to fire first as you suggest and this is helping but i’m still too steep. I have also been trying the Ben Hogan pump drill but however hard i try, i can’t seem to get my hands down enough. Could this be related to my height?

9. Hi Mark. Love your videos. I need some chipping tips. It seems that I eather top the ball or duff it because I’m “scared” somehow. I hip irons from 170yards closer than my chipshots from 10 yards, which is kind of disappointing.
   thanks

10. I hit*

11. Mark – Your videos are great. I struggled at the range last night and then played a round today. I watched this video before my round this morning and realized I was swaying on my backswing, causing inconsistent contact. I focused on the tips you gave and had my best round of the year, a 78! Keep up the great work.

12. Mark! this one by far is your best “drill” video lesson! Great presentation!

13. You’re right. Keeping that right leg flexed throughout the backswing is an ideal thing to do. Doing so creates leverage, which has the potential to create more powerful swings.

14. Hi Mark. I noticed you joked about lefty’s playing right handed. I actually am one of these people. As I work on a course an everyone I play with are righty’s I’ve always copied what I see most people doing. I’m pretty confident with most clubs, the only real problem I have is sometime I leave the club face open massively on the downswing. Could being a lefty be the reason for this? Thanks for any help you can offer.

15. Seems we have the same problem! I’m a lefty playing right handed too and i have the same problem. From what i’ve been told, it could be due to your hips sliding and it also could be due to a poor release due to the over powering left hand.

16. Did Mark change his 59 to a 64?

17. hi Mark, seen lots of your videos, and just wondered if i could have some help. I recently videoed my swing and compared it to many tour pros, and i noticed they keep the heads on the back swing extremely still. However, my swing on the back back seems to dip a bit so i was wondering if you had some sort of drill? thanks

18. I would seriously give up many things for your golf swing Mark! Love it! So smooth….

19. Mark! I swing right handed but throw lefty. I have the same problem as one of your swing fixes. You may notice I left a video on your facebook wall a few days ago. Do you have any special swing thoughts for me?

20. mark can I send you my swing ?

21. Mark, I also am a lefty playing right handed, almost no pro is able to help effectively with this topic. Could you do more video’s about this topic. Please. Especially on swing thoughts!

22. Yeah, I’ve discovered i had a problem with this, these are great tips ans will give them a try tomorrow

23. Wow Mark your golfing knowledge is great , you have a great teaching style 🙂
