Let me know if these driver myths make sense and if you have fallen foul to them, remeber its not all about the driver, if you want a simple chipping cheat I used these ideas to change my chipping for ever watch here: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/pbCmaNGEytqUk58.html

Senior golfer here playing the best golf of my life using the Manuel de la Torre swing. I stay centered and balanced. No weight shift on the back swing. Stay flat footed until contact. Allow rear foot to release as weight is shifted forward by centrifugal force of the forward swing. I score in the 70's and 80's. Key swing thought is stay balanced and centered, swing the club back with the hands and swing the club forward with the upper arms. Allow the body to respond to the swinging of the arms.

Good lesson Mark. I think in the past a lot of tuition has been about weight transfer without explaining that it needs to happen within the rotation. As a consequence a lot of people slide in the swing instead of turning.

I like the sequencing breakdown. It totally makes sense why the sequencing happens so early with pros. There’s a whole lot of leverage created and energy loaded in those motions. Thanks Mark!

We need another mark and coach match videos they’re just to hilarious you 2 together.

Balance Danielsan, balance! Top tips, Mark. My coach has hammered exactly this over the last few years and it transformed my drive into a consistent, far hitting shot - most of the time. Of course, grip, swing technique and a custom fit driver all play a role, too. But getting the balance transition right is very important.

Lately I've been focusing on setting weight on my front foot right at the point I start my takeaway. I'd say a good 60-70%. I do this so I can force myself to feel the loading onto trail foot during the backswing. This in turn helps me feel like I'm really dynamically loading the backfoot, which enables me to feel how I push off that back foot as I'm re-centering and moving the weight to front foot. I combine this with setting the club more closely to where I want impact, in terms of hand position and shaft angle. Overall the idea I'm going for is, "Start where you want to end up."

The best advice I could give, which isn’t much but improved my handicap by 15 this year, is to grab a club and constantly swing it. Driver you don’t want hitting the ground. Irons you want to hit slightly in front. Get the feel, start slow. Go to the range twice a week. Then imagine you’re swing, ignore the ball.

Another quality short vlog

Hi Mark! Big fan of the content. I see a ton of your content lately has been focused on getting rid of the big slices. Can you put up a video on how to avoid the smothered hook? I assume its an upper body tilt/closing off issue, just don’t know any drills to prevent this.

I am a high handicapper and only started trying to improve my game this year after spending a few years as an eternal beginner. Weight transfer during the swing is too confusing for me and I end up mucking it up. What works is getting a good basic setup and grip (and constantly revisiting them) and trying not to swing too hard. If I stick to that I get good distance. If I start getting fancy I end up in the trees or worse.

Good honest instruction. Great details.

I'm going to try it! You should do a review video on Scott golf irons ! I hear they are super good.

Nice shot Mark. This tip might help me get off the first tee long and straight! Thanks.

Mark you will smile when you hear this- but it's true ! When I watch golf instructors outline all the possible errors - I can start to include these bad moves into my swing 😢😅 ! Crazy. Cure is getting a few reasonable swings under my belt - then I'm back again - and will try to slowly incorporate a few good tweeks ! as per my memory of the tip I want to try ! Maybe it would be a idea to do a few repeats of the proper final product to imprint that pattern on viewers !

Because of your info on Hack it Out and here, I am now envisioning myself boxing out Shaquille O’Neal and keeping him from the club head. It gives me width and pushes my pressure back to the lead foot during my backswing. This would have felt like a reverse pivot to me previously, but it isn’t at all. It helps me turn, as a swayer.

Awesome video going behind the veil of top class player . The number 2 Greg and stathole have no chance ! Keep up the great work

Nice lesson Mr. Crossfied !

Any chance we can get some course vlog or equipment review content with you and coach??

weight transfer is the start of the downswing. im currently experimenting with not accelerating until club head drops below my hips.

Paused at 1:22 to comment. My driver setup is very balanced, left to right and balanced toe to heal. I like to feel very grounded.

My guess: since we start with some tilt, I'd say 60% on the back foot..... and, you nailed my swing fault RIGHT after I typed it. I have a decent turn and decent speed, but don't get my hips forward and enough out of the way to get the face closed by impact, giving me push-fades. I really like the idea of getting my hips and weight shift happening earlier and loading like I was throwing a ball.

makes sense. thanks

40% left foot 60% right for a rhs.Because you should tilt a little to the right shifting centre of gravity.

By its very definition, weight transfer from one leg to the next is body sway. Whether that is sway in the hips or in the chest and head, that is a very difficult thing to sequence for amateur golfers. I prefer the Saguto Golf method which is to feel like 70% of your weight is on the front foot even through the back swing. It makes the sequence easier and makes the strike more consistent.

I always set up weight in center,or as close to center as I can. That way I can feel the weight transfer onto trail leg then shift to front leg.

I reckon the pressures for good drives would be very similar to pressures for throwing a club as far as possible in golf posture

I’m 60/40 trail side at address with driver. I find it easier to shift weight back to lead side before the end of my backswing

I feel my backswing is more consistent when I bump my hips slightly forward and put pressure on the inside of my rear foot and calf

Hi if you watch Patrick Cantlay he moves weight from side to side on all shots. Never still. Which is what your saying great advice

I start balanced 50-50 and try to think rotary, not linear, to prevent swaying.

What golf shaft to you use? Thank you

I'm adding that jump spin move to my routine

What kind of club shaft is that? I never seen anything before with colors like that?

Pressure should be on the front foot. Caused by the hips being pushed forward. This is only slight (60-40%)

Mark I’m waiting for Lou to text me the answer on the pressure percentage question. I guess he’s too busy texting the answer to the #1 Greg in the world for the Saturday stat.

So many top coaches in the comments section. Seems Marks advice is not right, the comments is where it's at. Forget about watching the video ok.

Where do you teach now Mark?

60-40 front

Keep Weight on lead foot & keep your core still

50/50

Liked the video

Weight on front 60/40

45 left and 55 right

I’m pretty much 50/50 at set up with the driver. Maybe 60/40 towards the back leg

82% !!!

Think tennis swing ...

Even or back foot 🤷🏽‍♂️

50-50 but with your spine tilt abit to right.

60-40 trail leg

Pressure. I have no idea. That is not good. :(

60 / 40 backfoot

Trail

60-40 on the rear foot.

Driver trail foot

I am thinking 50/50 for driver.

Lead foot 80/20 is what I think. I know it’s less

On my left foot lead foot

Decaffeinated coffee might help as the video goes along and funny seeing you with a shaftoid shaft in hand. 🤦🏻‍♂️😃

vroom, vroom!

50/50 for driver?

Pressure 50-50 weight on balls of feet???

You have the ball in the middle of your stance.

50 50

I'm 50/50...before I started move...

I went for a driver fitting and there was no driver I tried that went further than my 10 year old Taylor made rktballz tour lol. Averaged 266m with it. Shows the marketing rubbish of todays club makers 😂

Watching bad habits is not helpful.

don't understand that driver shaft the colors are quite off putting. Looks like a candy cane or worse, what's so special about it.

50/50

50/50
