Great video. Finally got my draw back after watching this video. I had forgotten what it meant to monitor my wrist and understand angles in the take away and downswing. Thank you.

Truly an outstanding video! The most complete explanation I’ve ever seen on why/how the ball draws or fades.

Great lesson mark , you really do explain the basic principles very well and you talk a lot of sense love these type of videos 👍👍👍

Great video Mark! Truly helps experimenting at the range.

Brilliant stuff. Thanks Mark

Thanks Mark. I’ve been struggling with driver for a few years, that in retrospect started with lag as my primary swing thought. Looking forward to experimenting with some of these ideas on the range to get rid of my 2 way miss.

Hi Mark Thanks for the detail in this video. I’ve found when I just focus on keeping the face closed on the takeaway it really helps

Thank you Mark, the best understanding of this subject, and a clear explanation. A video I will review very carefully.

Excellent video. Thank you Mark.

Excellent video - perfect for me! Thanks Mark.

Great vid as always Mark. I only strugle to hit a draw with my Driver. It is tricky to find a ball position that allows you to hit up as well as mantaining the in to out path.

Thanks for validating yet one more variable that I have learned on my own regarding wrist dynamics! What you have shown in a few minutes are some of the best experimental tips to be tried on the range. Often once you can identify the extreme physics you can learn to moderate the wrist bowing into a shot shape that is an acceptable draw. Nice thing is you know exactly what you did wrong when you forget and slice one that just validates that you left that shot with your wrist loose and face wide open!

Awesome Mark.. I needed this. Thank you

Probably the best draw/fix slice video I've seen this one. Informative as always Mark

Really good Mark fantastic lesson and love the way you give permission to try things rather than sticking to a one way of swinging set of rules - really helps just need to be allowed back on the range to put it into practice!!

Always have struggled with the draw. This definitely helps with understanding why I am constantly battling a slice (ball forward and trying to “lag” the club for “more speed). Thanks for a great video, as always!

Great information. Can’t wait to be able to hit some balls and give it a go. Thanks Mark.

Mind officially “BLOWN” 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 brilliant just brilliant

That is your strength! breaking down the swing for us to understand, very nice explaination. I view these much more than others.

Love this video! Very simple explanations and usable drills 👏

Hi Mark One of the best videos/explanations I have ever seen. Very concise very correct very useful. Great work mate !!

Fantastic lesson Mark

Thanks Mark. I've watched so many videos on how to stop slicing my drives, and your coverage on this has been the most helpful. Your instruction is amazing for amateurs like me. I'm looking forward to my next trip to the driving range so I can work on what you've laid out in this video.

This video hit home with me better than your other slice fix videos. Not sure why but I can’t wait to hit the range. Thx Mark.

Great video Mark, thanks.

Great video! I have used the method of over hitting shots in one direction to get the feel…nice to see that’s a good idea! Thanks!

Great explanation mark I have just about started to hit driver better and draw it sometimes, this has given me lots to play with thanks again, and loved the Spain videos

I must say, this is the most mind-opening and clear driving tip that I have ever seen! Keep up the good work and kudos to great channel!

After watching this I just had give a go, the information in this video is pure gold, my practice is going to be so much more productive, can't thank you enough Mark.

I mainly hit driver straight, although I can sneak a small draw in there now and again. This really helps me to understand what I need to do. Brilliant video Mark.

These videos are so helpful

Really helpful video Mark

This man is by far the most under appreciated golf content creator on KZfaq and it’s not even close. Just so much knowledge.

Great detailed demo, Mark

Bloody love this Video Mark. I remember the day very well when the lightbulb shone bright in my head. August last year. On the range and for the first time ever I could draw a 6,7,8,9,PW irons. After a video of yours about wrist angles etc.... I will make it my mission in 2021 to get to your place for a lesson.

Wow this cleared up a mystery for me. I am trying to get better lag and I have been getting big push fades and this vid explains why PERFECTLY. Basically my hands are too far past my body going through and I am not releasing the club head early enough. Thanks Mark! I am going to work on getting my handle in a neutral position and releasing the club head better at the bottom.

Thanks for the insight of a few problems I had but didn't know how to fix

another great video really explaining what is going on in the swing. I think this will help me when I get back practicing!

Mark, great and informative videos as always. I am one of those players that hits end out with the open club face so it is a disastrous push slice that is unplayable. I'm looking forward to giving a try working on my wrist angles, but I think the big key for me is letting the head get past the hands as a feeling may help. I've always heard people say swing out to in and close the club face, but I've never been able to figure out how to close the club face. I'm hoping this is an eye opener

another great lesson video mark - i have learnt so much from watching your stuff on how to practice and play

Love it. Thanks.

Brilliant video, thank you

Outstanding video explaining the dynamics of creating different ball flights. Very helpful. I am intuitively a fade player. I taught myself to hit a draw when needed but I realize that my mental conception of the golf swing is a fade. I feel the flight of the ball and the soft landing as I hold the clubface a bit open through impact. Drawing never feels right to me but I appreciate the lower more penetrating ball flight when I need distance. Different horses for different courses.

Definitely managed to change my fade into a draw. Changing grip was the first step, then absolutely spending time learning to miss both ways!

Great video, I love this constructive method looking at different things which can make a difference to your shot. Thank you!

Very informative, Thanks

I truly amazed by your skills in demonstrating the bad shots. Real skills needed to do this, which then elucidates the rest of the presentation.

Great video, again. Simple explanation which works and makes sence. Thanks Mark.

Great video thanks Mark. 👍

This something you always elude to Mark. It’s about teaching people skills. Great video as always.

Really helpful, thanks Mark!

great instruction, one of the better tip videos you have done!!!!

It makes sense, clear and easy to understand, just wish I could do it 🥲

Great vid. Thank you.

This is such an informative video, thanks for creating it. It's given me a lot to think about

Well done once again.

This helped me a great deal. I knew about turning the face and aligning for whatever shot is planned but a lot of the time, from the top of the backswing to beyond impact my swing is just a blur. So today I just concentrated on getting the face to where I would like it to be. Played 9 holes today and hit all the long fairways after some good groundwork on the the driving range. Hopefully Tomorrow gives me as much joy as today did.

One of your best videos in a long while

This was the most comprehensive understandable explanation of the factors that influence shot shape I have ever seen. You debunk some commonly misunderstood concepts that can lead to trouble. It is amazing the impact of bringing one factor to the forefront of ones' conscious awareness to influence our swing and the resulting ball flight. I think everyone can relate to the experience of feeling an epiphany only to later find out that we either misunderstood or overemphasized some factor and it then wreaks havoc on our golf games. You didn't just clarify all the factors of influence, you explained how they are integrated and influence each other. An amazing achievement that is so valuable, I am not going to watch any more videos and instead focus on digesting the incredibly dense information in this video by watching it over and over. The only problem is, that you have stripped me of the excuse of not understanding and forced me to accept responsibility and I hate you for that!😒 Thanks a lot Mark.🤨

I watched one of my driver swings the other day, wondering why I couldn't hit it well. My club path was good, club face was closed, but I realized I was holding onto my lag way too long. A year ago I had a floppy swing and had no clubhead speed, but I over corrected and now I tend to release my hands way too late. Love that you pointed that issue out in this video!

Great info...thanks👍

Excellent video..thanks ,this really explains the draw for me

Such good stuff 👌🏼

Just starting to get the draw, watched Phil Mickelson say he tucks in his right arm, so my left, to create it so I applied that feeling to all my clubs to create it. Usually goes straight but occasional draw. Also strengthened my grip and closed the face a touch as a correction. Thanks for all your tuition Mark.

This is some excellent stuff! So much confirms what I've have slowly beginning to realize after hitting hundred of balls with the driver. Years of slicing the ball to where recently I would only hit a 5 wood from the tee and said enough is enough. Controlling the club face much more important than swing path and yes I have been one of those with the ridiculous looking waist high flat swing trying to hit a draw. Why doesn't anyone teach to just have the club already closed at address and just have student maintain that position versus manipulating the wrist during the swing?

IWTD. Thanks to these videos my face to path has come on a treat. It's hitting the middle of the face that I struggle with.

I've subscribed cause you hit more balls in the first 2 minutes then most of the so called experts do in 10. Good explaining the physics behind different shots. After all, its no different then billiards, its all about how you put the jazz on the ball

Great great video!!!!!!!

Another great explanation Mark gonna practice this asap

Haven’t watched in awhile and it looks like I have been missing a lot of good content. This was a great video, lots of informational nuggets. The editing has gotten very good, everything is so polished. Nice work, takes for sharing.

I got so frustrated with my lack of distance, ball striking and fade that I scoured the internet until I found someone that could explain how to fix the problem in simple terms. I finally found a video where the instructor explained that lofting and de-lofting the club happen when you apply, or don't, apply torque to the shaft. After I understood the concept it was trial and error to figure out the swing path and amount of torque required to either hook, draw, fade or slice. After some practice I have become more proficient being able to get better at hitting draws and fades as needed. Oh, and that video I watched? The instructor was Mark Crossfield.

Great video, thank you

great presentation of a complex issue, I tend to keep the club face pointed to target and open or close my stance for a fade or draw. Very simple, I then just visualise the shot shape. SIMPLE

Excellent mark

Epic video!!!

Hi Mark, I used to hit straight to a fade so I strengthen my left hand slightly and worked on flattening out my backswing as I was to upright.

Closed, Open, and Closed. I was able to develop a draw because of watching this channel and strengthened my grip while swinging a little in to out. I also became much more aware of where the face of the club was pointing.

Great face to path explaination! In my instruction experience fixing a persons path is the easy part. What is the challenge is that people learn how to swing hard before they learn how to release the club faster than their club head speed. I teach a 9 o’clock to 3 o’clock swing at slow speeds with a mid iron and have them hit a ball about 50-60 yards and just work on rolling the club through and hit a hook to any degree. I tell them to work that swing longer and still slow, then speed it up then work it up to the driver. I love your breakdown here of how to understand why it happens. Especially for people who learn by knowing why rather than just telling people to do a certain move. Great video.

Great video... Always better to see the data back up your explanation.🤔😃 Thanks as always.

This is me all over! general fade and occasional push way to the right. some great points there though for me to work on. Cheers

Mark, I play off five but have been hitting it weak and right. Literally this is the best video i’ve seen on youtube re understanding club path and where club face is during the swing. I was hitting driver 230/245 yards… this range session ball flatter and carry 265 - 285 finish. THANK YOU

Absolute genius of a bloke. Top video and will give all this a go. Cheers Bruh,👍🏻🏌🏻‍♂️⛳️

Watched your video. I typically hit shots to the right. Went out to my garden with 3 foam golf balls and my driver. No tees (St. Augustine grass). #1 straight worm burner. #2 straight worm burner. #3 Ball airborne straight with a gentle curve to the left. 😃

Great tips can't wait to try and get rid of the constant fade

I drew a ball width line on the top of my driver. I tested the concept by putting a piece of white hockey tape on top and going to the range. This helped me visualize my club angle and path while I learned the muscle memory.

Something I definitely don’t try enough. Sometimes it’s the simple fixes/trial and error rather than dramatic changes or feels! Love it as usual Bruh!!! Especially coming from someone who’s a serial blocker with my woods!

Love this!!

this REALLY helps!

Thank you

I've never heard any golf coach suggest that deliberately hitting a "bad" shot could be constructive. But in this series that you seem to be doing lately, learning the extremes speaks volumes to me. During the last few videos around this 'learn the extremes" idea, I feel that I have been able to identify the individual components of my swing and how one relates to another. I've coached a number of other sports at various amateur levels; cricket, rugby, squash, badminton, skiing, and climbing and thought that I had some awareness of my body actions in those sports. BUT I have never thought of teaching the extreme errors to learn a better technique. Thank you for this eye opener. The golf swing seems to be one of the few sporting activities that can be broken down into positive and negative to find the optimum. Clearly not a good idea to teach bad climbing or skiing technique but I'm away to my simulator in the garden to try out this approach to adapting to my new driver.

Can I please like this video 20 times? How on earth is this not more watched - it truly is the answer to a slice!

Awesome vid Mark, learned loads from this :)

fantastic video

I was a big slicer of the ball, took lessons and some of youtube tips. Now I'm more draw or hook. Working on that hook now :-)

This is the best video explaining why I constantly hit a slice. The BEST!

Great tips bruh. Will be trying some of this at range.

"I want to draw". I finally worked out how to draw my driver after one of your early vids on wrist angles. Before that, I had been trying to "flatten the plane" but I had given up because it was ridiculously inconsistent. I have always had a natural draw with my irons but I couldn't transfer this to the driver until you mentioned wrist angles. Light bulb, indeed 💥 You coaching vids are exceptional. Very much appreciated.

It took a combination of fixes to stop my slice off the tee. I bought tees that automatically set the hight of my ball at the same spot every time. I strengthened my grip a little. I set up with the ball a little more inside my left foot. I make an effort to keep my left wrist flat at the top of my swing, I swing slightly in to out. I also count so that I have a consistent tempo 1,2,3,4. I also have to relax and release my wrists on the downswing and I have to commit and swing relatively hard. It sounds like a lot, but I mostly concentrate on the tempo, releasing and swinging hard. I am a high handicapper but I'm getting better and hitting it far and relatively strait has made golf so much fun.

Good video. Just need to put it into practice 😊

I can why I was hooking the ball last year. Had my hands and wrist too closed on the downswing. What a great visual.
