In this instructional golf video, Mark Crossfield, an experienced golf professional, shows you how to use your hips in your golf swing in order to hit your driver long and straight.
Key Points Covered:
Hip tilts and turns in the backswing VS in the downswing: Mark breaks down common patterns seen among amateur golfers and high handicap golfers when it comes to hip turns and tilts during the backswing VS those, or the lack there of, during the downswing, and how those relationships can lead to poor golf shots.
What you need for this drill:
- Driver
- 7 / 6 iron
- 3 golf balls
How to perform this drill:
- Using your driver and 7 iron for measurement, set up the golf balls on the ground as seen in the video.
- With the butt of the driver on your lead hip pocket, practice turning your hips in the backswing to "cover" the ball from your point of view.
- When you have a good feeling for this moveement, flip the club over and with the butt of the club now on your trail pocket, rehearse the same ideas, "covering" the ball at the back.
This drill will help you learn the feelings and movements required to stop coming over the top, stop swaying in your backswing, and stop getting stuck during your downswing and hitting bad golf drives.
Why Watch?
Effective Drills: Mark demonstrates practical drills that anyone can incorporate into their practice routine.
Proven Results: These tips have been tested with some of the world’s best players, ensuring their effectiveness.
Hit More Greens in Regulation: If you're struggling with your iron play due to poor accuracy or bad ball striking, his video will elevate your iron play game.

I love these drills with the reference points. It totally clicks with my brain…especially if I need to reset the feels. Thanks Mark! Always appreciate you bruh!

Another quality tip Mark. Still waiting for a video from Project Lou with you teaching the Stat-hole. Maybe with additional comments from Greggy.

Brilliant drill. I will be using this as a great way to practice & reinforce what Joe Hewer had me doing after my 2nd GEARS session at JD Golf Academy. Thanks Mark. Keep 'em coming. Love the Hack it Out Podcast too.

This is an absolutely great vid. I've headed down plenty of rabbit holes, and it's took a good while to sort my driver stroke. I'm nearly there, but this has summed it all up for me. Give it a go peeps! Wish I'd seen this vid months ago.

@@MarkCrossfieldI had a lesson once where I was told I swing too steep. I asked how I go about fixing that and he said "swing less steep." This was much more helpful 😂

Great exercise. How about doing a vid on what launch monitor data you should concentrate on.

Hey Marc. What’s the video called that you were explaining the left toe and pushing down. To gain speed. The tip Jamie showed you

@KevinStaggs Ай бұрын

Can you address the role of the trail foot? Do you push off it? If so, when?

@jonashagg4143 Ай бұрын

You should not push with trail foot, you try to weightshift into your lead foot, from which, if you get it right, you will push from to unfold all power you have stored in the backswing

There aren't enough hours in the day for me to work on this drill as much as I need.

@henrykrinkle3609 2 ай бұрын

C'mon Mark, no pro is thinking about degrees of hip turn. How can you ask an amateur to? You can do this drill for hours, but it will bear no relation to a full swing in real time!

What a strange comment. Golfers can NOT control how far they turn or tilt their body. Ok cool. 👍

@@MarkCrossfield Absolutely they can Mark, just not the way this video explains it. No worries, cool.

@@henrykrinkle3609 I know it’s cool. I hate using this with students. Then telling them when they make better swings that they have to stop because a random person said so on KZfaq in the comments. They say but I hit better. I say no no random guys knows best. Great stuff. 😂👍👍 Just listen to yourself. Or don’t we don’t care.
