As someone who has been following the channel for some time now, this is the Crossfield equivalent of splitting the atom. Remarkable.
Agreed, been watching for several years, loved the #262 days but this gives me a little extra motivation to improve
defo my geek golf channel!
Not really. I’d like to see what his settings are to get 320 out of 160s ball speed. That is nowhere close to real world unless you are at high, hot courses.
Very motivating to see it can be done after years of swinging one way. Changing grip itself is difficult. That horrible feeling when you go strong and smother straight left.
Yes, I definitely remember the #262 days. I'm curious whether there had to be any "non-golf" components to achieve this speed? Is it all technique and mental or did he also have to make body changes? Stretching, diet, strength, etc.??
Done this myself. Started with my coach in November. I was a 5 handicap getting no better. I was bored. Wanted to improve. Never had great rotation. Worked so hard with vertical forces and now seeing the improvements. I was 98 mph with driver. I’m now 106 and rising. Improved rotation. Better strike. First time in ages I’m really looking forward to a new season. Totally get the intent point and not playing it safe.
Exactly my story. Was off 4, now out to 8 (recent family loss etc.), around 100 mph and feeling like I'm not likely to get below 4 (bit of work to do to get back there however). Big motivation in the form of a 13yo son (only 36kg and 150cm) who is now singles and hitting his driver 200m at around 85% fairways hit. He can beat me off the stick, but I can still outdrive him and I want to keep it that way for some time yet! At 55 I hope there is still hope. Great to hear of your success Mark. Cheers from Sydney - Dave
Hi, can you describe exactly what you've worked on or maybe the courses you've got in this matter please?
8:41 - such passion, you can tell how hard you've worked at this and what an accomplishment it is. Well done Mark!
I've followed your channels since 2013. I avg 208 on the course (SS data) - due to mishits and the ball going errant (smother hook) - trees tend to shorten drives. When I go to the driving range I spend about 20 balls with my driver and swing out of my socks. It actually helps me keep distances up with all clubs especially as I age.
Good work mate. As an ex Javelin thrower I have always been blessed with a body movement that "posts up" at impact. Trying to teach others who struggle with distance is difficult but you verbalise it well.
Excellent. Don’t throw a javelin but when I mimic(without a javelin) I post beautifully .
I've been watching your channel for years and you have absolutely transformed my game in that time. I've gone from mid 90s to low 80s in about the last 4 years. I've gone from hitting a MASSIVE slice to bringing it into a fade that misses right from time to time. Every time I watch a video of yours, I pull a club out and start swinging away in my living room (much to the chagrin of my wife and cats) to see if I can incorporate the new information into my swing. That being said, you blew my mind with the wall analogy. My hip sway is gone (been trying to fix that for months) and I feel so much more stable throughout the swing. Thank you for that, Mark. Keep going and thank you for your content.
I am proud member of living room swing club 🤘🏻
This is the same thing Kyle Birkshire has been saying for quite sometime now. One day a week about 40 balls at range all out with total disregard to hitting fairways. This does work if ur committed. Went from 152 ball speed to 160 gaming around 156. Also 57 years old. 👏👏
Great numbers for your age man! Love to hear it 💪
Yes agree but it's only good if you understand what it is specifically you're working on with driver swings
Otherwise you're just simply going back to pounding away ball after ball just thinking 320 and nothing else
I personally still don't understand what mark is pointing out, maybe I'll have to watch this several times
@@timothywang4083 It’s about 2 things realistically. Training ur body to move faster comfortably and being able to hit the center of the face while doing so. Is this for the weekend golfer? Probably not but if u put the time as with anything u will see results.
@@johnkennedy4552
That's like saying how to master a yoyo
Just practice throwing it over and over like about erm , just ten thousand times diligently without actually knowing how to release it properly
@@timothywang4083 Most people doing this already have swing fundamentals down. Maybe you don’t and this is not for you. I’ll play golf while you practice ur yo-yo technique. Try watching Kyle video before commenting on something ur not versed in.
"ON YOU GO, BALL!!!!!"
love the excitement! Thanks for the valuable tips and sharing with us how you're still improving even after decades of quality play!
I have been completely changing my golf swing looking to gain primarily consistent and more accuracy while having distance as a secondary goal. I was swinging extremely hard and still only getting 105mph club speed really giving it everything I have. Only when I found 3 videos, this being one of them, am I putting all the pieces together and realizing the problems. Everything in your "before" is what I was doing. I've increased my accuracy significantly, increased my club speed to 115, while hardly swinging the club (at least compared to previous). I'm excited to put it all together and get out on the course this year. This video seems to put the whole picture in perspective. Great job mate. :D
Amazing gains 👏
Thanks bruh. 👍
Mark.....you were the first golf Coach I came across on U-tube ages ago.........and I still love your content.......Cheers man !!!!
Thanks Rob. 👍👍
Great video Mark. As a 6hcp 52yr old who’s been stuck at mediocre length drives for my entire golf life, I’d love more videos detailing how you get out of your jump earlier in order to achieve faster clubhead speeds. Thx!
I second Myles’ comment. I seem to share his same issues in relationship to age and hcp. Any info for the jump would be greatly appreciated.
@@markmarple415 and i third it
Check out Danny Maude recent videos on how to line the club and turn your body
Your old 262 yardage is right where I'm at right now, it rolls out to 280's but I know I have the power to at least hit the 300 mark. It's tough but I know I can do it and this video definitely helps!
Very Impressive MArk!!!
Watching you for so long and hitting drivers 262 for many years and no matter how new the driver was, showing us how All tests clubs are truly regulated, and NOW showing us it's MORE the person and swing speed is the way to GAIN yardage!!
Just by copying the left hand grip, i added 10 yards. 20 more to go. Thank you for this.
Mark, congratulations on 320+. I first discovered you in 2017 while my newborn twin girls were in NICU. Your energy and excitement inspired me to make a return to playing golf.
From 2005-2012 I could shoot under par on any given day. A severe back injury put a stop to all that and I lost all interest in golf. I tried to play a few times but I'd lost all feel of the club and my power was gone. It wasn't till you that I started to find all that again. I still bag a set of Mizuno mp-32's I bought brand new. With your help I hope to return them to their glory days.
Thank you so much for helping me rebuild my game and find the joy of golf again! Many blessings to you my friend!
Fair play mark, great improvement. I’d love abit more detail on how you managed to move the “jump” before the ball. I know you’ve posted about the length of the backswing was key but abit more info would be much appreciated!!
This is literally unbelievable. I watched this video last night. Today I stopped in a local golf shop and picked up a driver and applied the ideas you shared and no word of a lie I hit a fair dozen drives carrying in the 280-290 range, in the mid 160s for ball speed. My typical drive at the range and on the course is carries around 250. I've literally never seen such simple advice have such immediate impact. Well done sir!
Just wanted to say thanks. You’ve improved my game from laughing stock to the best player of my friends.
This video makes me happy inside. I've been following this channel for years. It's been my stable go to for entertainment and a source of things to think about. All this time, the one splinter in my mind has been your distances hit Mark. I'm in my mid 40's and I comfortably sit in the late 160MPH 300yard drives. I'm not bragging. I've just wished for years that you would unshackle yourself a little and hit bloody thing harder. And today the day has finally come where I see the golf swing I've believed for years that you could do. The next step might be to slide that front leg out of the way a touch to slam some mighty 300+ bombs. It's a drug. Once you've gone 300 you can't go back. Love your work, mate! Now get yourself down under! There are hordes waiting to have a round with you.
This is such a grounded, practical approach to speed games. No gimmicks no sales. Just truth. Bravo.
Been watching you for years. Congrats and amazing on your increased length off the tee.
I enjoy watching an established and knowledgeable person journey through changes that challenge "old" ways of thinking and embrace trial and error (using quantifiable data in your case). I know I've picked up several nuggets from your videos that have helped me in my attempts to get better, specifically since early 2020. I can proudly say, with the help of one lesson (iron striking/compressing the ball) and committing to getting better (well, as much as a weekend hacker can), I have seen big distance gains across my bag--at least 2 clubs with irons and ~30 yards in performance average with the driver (according to Shot Scope--244 yds in 2020, longest 278 yds, pre-lesson, vs. 273 yds as of today, longest of 330 yds). Even better, I finally broke 90 last year and have 2 rounds of 86 under my belt this season! This is huge for me!!! I can't count how many times you've recommended getting lessons, but I'm happy I finally listened! Cheers Mark 🍻
You'll be Mr. 262 no matter how far you hit it Mark! :-) Congrats mate, really cool changes.
Again, this is the ideal "how to" instruction. You satisfy both those that want it simple/straightforward, and those that want more explanation/detail. Thanks for sharing. Keep them coming please Mark.
I was just studying the body dynamics of a golf swing, and its exactly what you said.
I love the way you explain the process it definitely resonates with me
Well done, I'm officially impressed! The stronger left hand grip is what I do and I find it boosts to my distance.
Congratulations on hitting your mark. I’ve been watching you work on increasing your club head speed and it’s great to see all of that hard work payoff.
Thank you
I appreciate the use of the word “ideas.” I’d never thought about the intention of my ideas. Applying new ideas is real helpful. “Hitting through the wall” is a great metaphor also. I’m now a subscriber.
Beat most informative golfer on UA-cam love your videos
Mark this is excellent content. As a ‘safe’ scratch golfer growing up with the end of persimmon and balata in the 90s hitting fairways was my skill. Distance, not so much. As I’m now mid 40s I want to unlock my potential and gain yards. Working on my body I’ve lost 6 stone in weight and with a physio/trainer ensure I’m injury free and mobile and improving swing mechanics with Damian Taylor. I’m working on exactly the same as you to unlock that distance puzzle. Makes so much sense so anyone else watching … Mark is on the money here. I’m a 150 ball speed wafter and working on 160 and then 165 as my goal for next summer. The ‘intent’ you emphasis … is key. Thanks Mark. Fantastic content. 🎉
Congratulations on your progress. Due to injuries I am going the other way and trying to be solid and accurate while swallowing the lost speed.
Well done Mark - best channel on youtube. I have been watching for years and really appreciate all of your work!
Been following your channel for a very long time. “Let’s get stuck in” and seeing how much you push the needle to share information with us is amazing! Thank you for all your tips and challenging idea. I’d love to see more about this as I’ve trying to working on speed and ground forces!!!
For someone who has been a long time 260 driver, to gain an additional 30 to 40 yards, is absolutely epic. You need to keep talking about this..
Inspiring. I've started messing around with my son doing some speed training stuff. Just getting started and I've gotten up to 102 SS. The great thing is being able to dial it back into that controllable swing on the course and getting a solid 8-10yds. deeper on a lot of holes. Already have seen it on several par 5's last month. My old "max" is my new average and my new average is getting that 1.5 smash sending it out to 250 carry range. I'll check out more videos. My goal is to crack into the 150+ ballspeeds and stay there. Get my new max to be my new "average" swing by next spring.
Excellent. Someone finally explained why I’ve gained 30 yards to my drive. I am usually happy with a 260 drive. So I adjusted a few things that you mentioned on vacation and hit a session on the driving range, Felt solid. I forget my launch monitor at home. So no idea I gained distance. Step up to a par 4 with water at 300 about 70 odd yards from green. Blind tee shot over a hill. I’m expecting my ball 260-270 roll out and I’m in the water. So now I’ve got to get to the launch monitor and figure things out.
Awesome work! Definitely impressive and makes me hopeful to hit it further. Would love to see a breakdown comparison video of the specific changes(old vs new) in your swing that allowed you to add those extra yards. 😎
I’m like Jeff, with a bad back, ripped a muscle in my back 3 years ago, was hitting 160 ball speeds before and then dipped to 130/140 ball speeds because I can’t trust myself to hit any faster, the last few months I’ve been hit high 150’s but my intent now is to hit faster speeds, I meet Mark and Matt last Friday at Leicester golf centre where they was playing 2 juniors and Mark hit 320 on hole 3 and 9, videos coming in the 2 few weeks I believe! Intent and commitment to every shot from now on! Thank you Mark and Matt for all your content and it was a pleasure meeting you both #MuppetTourIsTheBestTour
@TELEGRAM me 👉@markcrossfield Sounds interesting, don’t know if to be scared or happy! Have a good trip to Tenerife
Went to the range this afternoon and tired to swing it faster and without losing strike and got to 167 ball speed! Average ball speed 161! Working on speed with driver from now on! #MuppetTourIsTheBestTour
Well done Mark, very interesting, hard work paying off, Lockey must be getting worried.
Haha I little
I'm was similar to you Mark, feeling like I was playing at 70% and playing "pat" golf. Tried to analyse my swing and change my takeaway but it still wasn't right. So I recently went for a lesson and it changed me completely. Stronger grip and more hip movement in the back swing has left me with more space to get after the ball. It feels totally alien but the improvements or distance and ball flight out weight the old reliable feelings I have 💣
Unbelievable gains. You've cracked the code as they say... I've made changes to my swing based on some of your videos and have made a lot of progress thanks to you.
Good on you Mark, never stop trying to push the limits.. I just did one of mine too.
The other day ,while still autumn, good weather,, First hole,, I hit the drive, passing the bunker on the right, I got on the green, at, 287m,,
had a laugh,, met 2 mates on the back 9, mentioned the drive on one,, they said ye but can you do it on 10,, It had left and right front bunkers ,I hit my drive, Passing both bunkers,I got on the green while group in front were still putting,, They couldn't hear us yell out FOOUUR! that was 293m.. I finally did the double,, 1&10 same day.. that was one of my bucket lists. At 62, age is just a number for me,, I'm an 8 H/C and the next goal is scratch, and that is 90% putting for me. Sure there are scratch player in their 60's but my driving still gets people asking How do you do it.. Limits are challenges and challenges are opportunities. well done,, keep inspiring.
Magic instruction Mark, the mental commitment side so helpful and the reaction to hitting ur target distance again at the 8min 40sec in is brilliant a skill in itself. Cheers Gordie.
It’s great to see you again Mark! Cheers!
I remember watching you in 2012. So good to see you're still doing YT, definitely one of the first golfing youtubers.
Mark, I implemented some if these concepts and i hit into a group who were 335 off the tee yesterday. We all assumed they were totally unreachable. It just rolled past them and they were actually impressed rather than angry!
I just had my first proper driver fitting. Gained almost 50 yards because my current driver (m4 head and handcrafted hzrdus yellow stiff shaft that actually plays at a 2x stiff!!) was spinning at 4000 rpm on perfect shots. So it was only carrying 250. I have 114 club head speed and got into a proper shaft and head and am now carrying 280-290. So worth the money for the fitting
Honestly I have seen this because I went to a facility where it had a Toptracer bay, but not using the standard balls that come with it. What i noticed is that the harder I tried to over swing, i actually started to (mostly) hit the ball straighter than i ever have when I am just trying to swing within myself. i was getting up to 167 ball speed with driver and carrying it easy 290+ and it would easily hit a 60-65 yards window that I block practice for. You're on to something for sure!
‘You need to spend some time getting it wrong’ spot on sentence for moving on to your next level. Great vid again 👍
Mark, the gems in your back catalogue appear to have no end. I missed this one when it was released (I am subscribed and belled but life must have put up a blocker!) Wish I had a launch monitor for that feedback required to commit as you say but we can still push the belief by watching the end result beyond some numbers on the screen. Great video, yet again.
Mark, I don't know you but am so proud. Forever subscriber & this is you at your finest! Data, teaching, sharing all fantastic. Thank you for this video & for your lifetime of great work!! Absolutely fantastic outcomes & process! Cheers!
Mark watched your channel for a long time and used to use Clifton Hill range before you started your channel... showing my age here I know but I can honestly say well done mate I know thats been a long time coming... what a improvement, I mean really WOW!! You are the BOSS on here...
Congrats Mark!! I'm working on similar issues and seeing you accomplish it and reach your 320 green is inspirational!! Well done sir, hard work = bomb balls!
Great vid Mark. Congrats on the 320. 😁
Had a recent lesson on the same thing with posting on my left leg. With my irons it felt at impact that I was flipping my hands but the trackman numbers showed that I was actually 1.2° down and was hitting it 8yards further than before I made those changes.
Shows how important that measuring is to prove that you are doing the right things but that also feel is not real.
Wow, I haven't been watching in a while, but it's remarkable how much more athletic your swing looks now. Great work!
Just stumbled on this video and channel. Love this and saved it to watch again and again
Congratulations Mark! Now waiting for the day when rinky dinks becomes your 262 safety club off the tee.
This is misleading. 262 was Mark's carry distance. 320 is his total roll out distance.
Golf Completed Mark!
Well done!!
It’s so funny to look back at #262 now and all of the excuses you gave yourself when you had all of this potential inside of you all that time!
Well done mate, great to see and learn from!
Been a few years since I've watched your videos, Mark. Life, kids, business etc but as a long time fan and watcher, these results are amazing. Great work on the changes and sharing the journey and wins
Congratulations Mark! Years of watching your videos I developed a similar slide across swing with driver which helped me loads with hitting target and not blocking shots. With your most recent videos I have made a slight adjustment to focus more on rotation and straightening left leg and trying to take off and while I am not yet measuring to the level you are I have been hitting longer drives on the range and course.
More practice and a lesson needed. Thanks for the insightful videos and information
Let's see you smashing the lockey long bombs on the next vlog 😁 the army will not be happy!
Definitely would love a detailed video of your new swing!
This is your best video in years!
Good video Mark. Love the "intent" part of the process. Used to be close to 120 mph when I was younger man. Now at 65 I am still swinging 105-108 but maybe posting up earlier and letting it rip with less concern about fairways may just be what I need to get to 110 and hit it 290-300 vs 275-280. Interestingly after 40 years of overlap grip I went back to interlock this spring. It causes my left hand to naturally be weaker. Maybe I will try and make my left hand a little stronger-like it was when I overlapped, and see what happens. FYI-first time in 15 years I went to Srixon irons(ZX7's) with Steelfiber 110's and hitting the ball little farther but little flatter window than I am used to. Getting used to the way my ball acts when landing on greens in NE USA(Long Island-Bent or Poa greens). Makes hitting 3/4 shots harder to judge as they fly flatter and with little less spin. LOVE your channel!!
Having played this game since 1957 and marveling at the "new" technology, it is obvious you are on to something very old. When I was your age we used the term "hitting into a firm left side". We didn't have launch monitors, graphite shafts and 460cc drivers. We used wound balls that refused to go straight even for the best golfers. We used steel shafts and small persimmon heads. Nobody, not even Jack hit it 320...at least not very often. I played many tournaments with Johnny Miller and even he didn't hit it 300 ... but his technique was great. I would say the only thing you can do now to add clubhead speed is to "crack the whip". Anyone who has ever snapped a towel in the locker room knows this simple move can add a tremendous amount of speed to your swing. Your strong grip is spot on. Give "cracking the whip" a try. It's done when your hands are past the ball and if you do it correctly the head of the clubhead speeds up like you won't believe. Great video. I can see another 20 yards once you get this move incorporated into your swing.
Johnny was something else, made shooting low 60s a common thing for him,
being intent, being measured, grip holding, overspeed are actually great keys! thx for sharing! :)
M-a-r-k...... ;>) your '262 to 320' video is Amazing Sir! I cannot wait to try it! Congrats on your transformation. I don't know how to slow down your swing to super slo-mo but that would be awesome too. I fully get what it is you're doing though, no worries. That @min 5 'wall' explanation is great.
Mark iv followed the channel for yrs .....i must say the Last 6mths have been truly remarkable!
Iv been on the same journy with my golf swing! Im 54 and my clubhead speed has gone from 108 avg to a 116 avg in the Last 6mths !! If you put the time with proper training anything is possible
First time you've ever looked like a real golfer. Looks natural. Impressive.
Well done Mark, watched you for years and you’re always pushing for improvement. I can’t imagine how much work off camera you’ve done to achieve these results, congratulations 👏
Love the enthusiasm! Really interesting, I’m going through this exact thing at the moment. I had an old school teacher, who preferred particular teachings (which has been great for so many factors) but I wasn’t seeing much gain or game improvement, so decided to see a different coach who had this approach. In just one lesson they had completely changed my idea of how to swing the club and I’ve never played so well since. Balls going further, more confidence, easier feeling swing and hitting greens in regulation and most importantly beating my mates 😂 Thanks Mark, great video.
Good luck David. Thanks for watching.
Great content as always Mr Crossfield , plus possibly the best advice on YT which starts at 10.20 you need to get it wrong ( the only way to get better is doing it wrong enough times to work out where better is ).. I can't tell you how much my game improved once I embraced that concept many moons ago , funny thing is we are told all our lives to keep trying . and when we fail, try try again , funny that !
Can you add where ur positioning the golf ball? Higher, more forward in ur stance, has your swing plane changed? Thanks. Congratulations btw!
Echoing some other's comments, would like to know specifically when you're applying force into the ground and in what directions. An analysis video on your specific gains with the swing catalyst data would be really helpful for me!
Thanks! I look forward to taking this new swing thought to the range. Be safe and good luck to u and the family
Congratulations mark!!! I know you have worked hard to hit that dang green out there at 320. You are an awesome example of how we can all change our basic rendancies, given enough time and effort! Thanks for everything!
Really appreciate the way you break this down into both thoughts and actions Mark! So many of the distance videos are all about going to the gym or buying some speed specific training aids. Rather than "telling" you're "coaching" and it really helps!
Great video, I’ve done everything in this video and hit a 312yard drive and now average 270 from around 240. Really satisfying, just struggle with consistency a little hitting these bombs. I must add though a driver shaft will need changing for a lot of players
Some good points!
Regarding intent. I always have the mindset be agressive, If I hit it in the next fairway so be it I have confidence to hit the next shot on the green. It doesn't always work out like that but I play better overall being fearless.
Definitely want more info on how he is driving further. I'm hitting it about 270-300 including roll so not going to be afraid to add to that
One of my fav vids Mark, currently struggling with said distance off the tee. Averaging 200-210 max with 5 wood, Driver be lucky to get to that. Holding back my game although only been playing 5 months. No facilities in my area (West Suffolk/Norfolk/Cambs) allow driver to be hit at the range so hit a bit of a brick wall and seem to be accepting hitting fairways but leaving myself a 5 iron in.
10:19 - This is huge. As a good-ish amateur, I think a trait that higher-level players share compared to other amateurs is that ability to swing with the "wrong" feeling (but correct technique) for long enough to groove it in and make it feel "correct." It's unpleasant to un-groove bad habits because the wrong way feels right, but it's well worth the bad feeling to do it correctly.
In the 2022 US Open words of Brandle Chamblee...I want to hit it far and be "sneaky straight" lol...at 41 years old, I lost about 10 mph of swing speed BUT with better golf balls and clubs, its almost a wash from 15-20 years ago...love it...long time viewer Mark, I marked you needed to be at least 115 to get to the 320...but you did it with 114 wonderful strike on the upswing..., when I used to play and practice on course I would have my normal ball off the tee and my "scramble" swing...and I was.always amazed that my scramble swing only hit. Few less fwys but was often 30 yards longer...just gotta be sneaky straight!
I just got my first carry of about 210 on the driving range! I am as excited as you are! Well done!
Good video Mark and Shaun Clements does an Excellent demo of this using the analogy of Hammering a Nail into a Door Post, which when you see it you can get even a Beginner to do it correctly.
Proud of you MC, big changes and way to take this on. Thank you!
There needs to be a series on this diving deep into the feels and techniques of this new swing especially how to load and then deliver the club head in the downswing love this concept
Few of us have any place to go where we'd have affordable access to a force plate and a Foresight. But a lot can be accomplished cheaply with a PRGR launch monitor. You can use it to monitor swing speed even with a practice swing. You can film your swing or use a LiveView camera. You can overtrain pushing your limits.
It seems like the key to focus on is driving the ball of your left foot into the ground as early as you can on the downswing. This will post your leg up and keep your hips from just sliding. The idea that you can increase power with your left leg is a bit of a revelation for me. Just hitting into a firm but passive left side with your right side is not enough, you have to use your left leg to generate greater vertical force before impact. The PRGR can tell you if you're getting it right.
Some drills and feels from Mr. 320 would be great for those of use just scuffling along.
Edit: Just found the Salted Smart Golf Insoles on line. Anyone have these?
🤔the Fitzpatrick effect🧐.. Great! Can’t wait to get my son in-law on the 1st tee!! 💥🤯😱😎
Seeing and measuring improvement is fundamental.
Very impressive Mark. I would love to see this swing broken down, the loading & timing of the jump especially.
Thanks for sharing your points of focus for all of us incorporate into our journeys😊
You are welcome.
Golf as everything can be explained by science, it is so cool that you have the ability to measure and chart. There must be a point however that physical size and strength comes into play and maybe 330 is out of reach for you without hitting the gym a few more times...i really enjoy your content, thanks for sharing....I expect a lot of tour players should be calling you about now to discuss this...
Talk about state the obvious 🙄
No mate, anyone can potentially hit the ball infinite yardage 🥴
And NO, no tour pros 😅😆
Tell that to Justin Thomas. Also This is misleading. 262 was Mark's carry distance. 320 is his total roll out distance.
@@shrimpflea welcome. Better late than never
Let’s see this on the course!
Eye opening!!! When you used the “wall”
“Knocking down the wall” is a smart way of looking at my ball strike. Thank you!
Great to see you improving. Mark. Big fan of yours. Keep it up.
Great lesson and concepts! Thank you!
Hey Mark, wanna give you so much appreciation for what you have achieved! What a great success! Thank you so much for having us during this demanding way from 262 to now! Want to see so much more of the way you`ve done it. I do have a Quad in my own indoor range, swing catalyst ist too expensive just for me in addition... Would really love to see a lot more of your practice ideas !!!
