“ROUGH BALLS”
To be very honest with you...... I used to be the king of playing from the rough, in fact I used to like playing from the rough because it made it feel like it was on top of a tea but the more my swing got better, the harder it suddenly got. go figure it!
“ROUGH BALLS”
That 4i Lockey hit he talked about cutting it a little bit.
That’s how I often play it from difficult rough.
The clubhead goes through more easier when slightly opened.
ROUGH BALLS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always playing out of the damn stuff guys lol. Never even thought about building my bag around to include this part of my game.
Great video guys
ROUGH BALLS... some good tipage you're giving us there. thank you.
ROUGH MY BALLS! Great on course stuff as usual. Rough in England is very much different to rough here in Oz. Global audience Crossy and Co! Rough balls, rough balls, rough balls...
"ROUGH BALLS"
Great tips again, nothing worse than playing a great shot out the rough & airmailing the green by ten yards.
Golf is hard enough!
ROUGH BALLS. Excellent, practical, common sense tips. I usually remember that I know all this, just after I stuff a 3wood out of the heavy stuff, when I should have been hitting a 7iron. A little bit of thought beforehand goes a long way.
That's definitely something to consider. I checked my numbers on 18birdies and I am only hitting 35% of fairways. 44% left side and 21% right. "Rough Balls"
ROUGH BALLS......great video thank you for the tips
ROUGH MY BALLS. I'm probably averaging about 50% fairways hit. I'm plenty accustomed to playing out of the rough and feel I have a pretty good skill set out of it.
"ROUGH BALLS" from South Africa.... In Africa we do not just consider the lie of the ball but also the Wild Animals around!!!
ROUGH BALLS. No matter how much I practice with hybrids, I remain very hot/cold with them once I'm on the course. Now that I'm hitting 10 fairways/round, I prefer the kind of club that I better with from the fairway, which is the "driving iron" style of hybrid. Just picked up the 3 & 4 Cobra Utility Irons. the sole is wide enough so that most lies in the rough are manageable, and the lies that aren't... I'm not getting to the green with a "wood-like" hybrid either.
Thanks for the tips for the players, not the dreamers ... ROUGH BALLS ahoy!
“ROUGH BALLS”
I can believe Coach is pretty good out of the rough. Been watching for a long while now and have observed him hitting second shots from there a majority of the time 😂. He’s developed a serious skill there. Thanks for the tips, they can only help.
I’m a 4 index, and just put a 23deg ping 410 hybrid in the bag an removed the Tm p790 4i. Even beyond the superior performance out of the rough, it’s just straighter. Maybe due to my specific swing, maybe due to bulge & roll? Who knows. I used to think i needed the 4i for punch shots, into wind, from under trees, etc...but I think you can do 98% of what you need to do with a 5i.
Yes. Coach has a doppelganger.....Mathew Jordan....even the swing has similarities.
ROUGH BALLS - which coincidentally is the quality of golf balls I usually play with, so would love the Srixons. 🤞🏻
Definitely happened to me.... after a full fitting from PING for irons, driver and fairway, it started raining HARD so he just wanted to throw in a 3 Hydrip with similar specs to the others. Which probably would of worked fine but without actually hitting with it and testing it I decided to pull it out of my order.... and still don’t have a hybrid to this day!! 😆😆🤦🏻♂️
Mark! Brah... I LOVE your vids. you have deeply impacted my game and have contributed greatly in my improvement.
There's one shot I continually "NOPE". Im terrible at chipping up hill to a blind landing spot. I seem to rely greatly on being able to see where the ball is pitching, and taking a last second look at where Im trying to pitch is the last step in my preshot. How do I improve this?
Cheers brah!
ROUGH BALLS. Great vid guys. I'd love them balls please Mark & Coach
ROUGH BALLS, Going to Ashbury Hotel Oakhampton in September might need some balls LOL
Only a noob here so I spend my share of time in the rough, but being that winter rules here makes us play from the rough, although a pain at the time, is good practice. And boy does your rough look manicured, level and dainty lol Cool vid lads, thanks! "ROUGH BALLS"
ROUGH BALLS
Good tips. Will keep that in mind. Been focusing on rough shots for chipping/pitching. Will add more thought to the advancing the ball side of approach shots from the rough.
Liking the situation/teaching/course management nuggets.
Today I was in the rough, 210y to the pin and wanted to play it short and roll on. Pulled apex 7i (6i loft) normal carry is 175-185 depending on strike. It came out HOT and landed pin high right of the green and bounced another 20y. Golf is hard
ROUGH BALLS. Great video boys. It shows that you can still score well even if you don't hit fairway balls. A skill set never usually spoken about. 👍
ROUGH BALLS
great video team. I like hitting out of the semi rough, however deeper stuff I’m just happy to get it in play, 50yds further forward
Rough balls (I’m actually embarrassed to type that in :-). Excellent tutorial. As I’ve focused on increasing distance off the tee, I am now in the rough more often. Very timely information.
I'm always hitting out of the rough. Shot 90 and hit 2 fairways in the round. My driver head cover is a dog because it goes "ruff". And yes, I can hit greens from the rough. Also I carry both a 4H and a 5H. I did hybrids at the end. I went through two sets of hybrids before I finally settled on the Cobra F9 hybrids. Those rails... those rails. I can hit them out of divots. And I use them for a variety of shots - punch outs, chip and runs, whack it, and fairway shots. Best clubs in my bag.
'Rough Balls' Where I live and play in dry, sunny Australia we get more bare lies in the rough than heavy, often with overhanging branches from Eucalyptus tress. I set my bag up with a 23° rinky and a 24° 5i partly because I struggle to punch the hybrid lower enough out of the rough and partly because I like the peak height hybrid coming into very firm long par 3's :)
'Rough Balls'. That's awkward. Great tips boy's. 👍 Hope those Srixon's are Q-Star Tour.
I don't have a hybrid, i have a 4 iron (20.5°) and have a 3&5wood. In the rough id trust my heavy irons. "ROUGH BALLS"
Here's a challenge for you, can you deliver 3000 golf balls to Johannesburg South Africa? Let's see😜😜
"ROUGH BALLS" kind of cheeky. Actually, I'm from the US I have no idea if I used that correctly.
Great content!! Thanks. Rough balls. ⛳️🏌🏽♂️
My secret weapon from the rough is Cobra Single length Hybrids. Baffler rails and shorter shaft for a steeper path, ball at or behind middle of the stance. The 19/22/25 degree are 3,4,5 iron substitutes.
Rough Balls
I have a Cobra single length set which has two hybrids (3 & 4 iron equivalents). The hybrids are very good out of the rough because:
1. 7 iron length shaft allows steeper angle of attack
2. Heavier head (than standard hybrids) allows me to muscle through the grass more easily
3. They have rails on the sole which gives me a bit more forgiveness
ROUGH BALLS!
Have always struggled out the rough. Learning that loft is my friend but then distance suffers. Oh golf, why are you so hard?
The first shot from the rough shows one undeniable fact..... Mark is a PLAYAAAAA still Bruh!
As a duffer I’d automatically go for open 58 & down steep in deep rough
Never ever been told to hit down with loft in short rough
Always been told to hit normal shot but with loft
Revelation thank you !!!!!!!!!!!
I need a video of how to hit off the fairway just in case I ever hit one... Seems I'm always hitting "ROUGH BALLS".
Rough Balls.
Is there an app you boys use or would recommend to track your stats? Ie. Fairway/rough percentage, GIR, strokes gained etc...
I practice hitting out of the rough often. Maybe like, 14-18 shots per round 🤪 send them srixons my way! Or some good luck Lockey wedges? i need his magic touch
Mark what’s your opinion on the HB launcher irons vs a hybrid?
I use the 5 and 6 iron of the HB launcher with a 4 hybrid. Would the 4 iron HB launcher do a similar job to a hybrid? Or is there still a difference? Thanks for the great content!
"ROUGH BALLS", I usually slice the ball into the right side rough, then i aim dead straight and pull my shot to the left rough due to the club snagging, wedge it into the green side bunker, 2 shots to get out, 3 putt, take my double-par and move on.
ROUGH BALLS
Great tips guys! Glad I’ve recently added a 4 hybrid to the bag!
"ROUGH BALLS" Great tips lads cheers 🏌️♂️👍
Rough Balls. Most of the ranges around here allow you to only play from the mats or the sandless bunker. Currently average 52% FIR, although today it was 67% :)
Rough balls.....love my Ping g410 5 hybrid from the rough.
"ROUGH BALLS" Rarely get to practice at a range , let alone out of rough. Working night shift so I'm hitting balls off mats into nets.
I can't tell you how many times I'll hit my drive in the rough, grab a club from the cart (cart paths only), walk over to the ball to discover I've got the wrong club, and try to hit it anyway. "Yep that was the wrong club". I remember someone on here saying that golfers a just lazy....
Doing a great job Mark . I'm quite new to golf and watching your old vids I'm getting a ping g20 hyprid for this precise reason.
Would practicing out the rough make you better off the tee or fairway? Surely if your spending 70% in the rough, you definitely need to spend more time practicing hitting off a tee or fairway, so you will hopefully spend less time in the rough? That’s what I hope anyway. 😳😁
Ooooo would love some ZStars to help me or my charity. Keep up the good work guys. 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Time and time again you guys show playing tips that are great 👍 😀 the best compliment I can give is my playing buddies notice saying "you have improved " cheers from Canada 🇨🇦 eh
Mark - how do you suggest I practice this skill? Drop some in the rough and try multiple different clubs. Highest loft moving to lower loft and finding my sweet spot. Any suggestions?
and "ROUGH BALLS" to go with my previous comment
Rough up my balls
Great content, love that you two are doing such different stuff to the mainstream. Don’t think I have ever heard a coach say ten fingers and whack it but makes total sense. Most players forget to even focus on the ball on the fairway and ‘hit’ it, especially with a card in hand.
Keep up the good work fellas. When’s the next trip?
Rough balls 🤣 very good advise. More of this content please couldn't agree more. So many people I play with are range fanatics get in the rough. The other day I was chipping out of the rough and playing with an upside down club left handed practicing. My mate said what as you doing. I said it's not a game of perfect 🤣 great work Muppets 👌
No.. Gloria is the victory song played by the Stanley Cup Champions the Saint Louis Blues their entire winning season. Duh :)
wonderful video. This sort of instruction, just isn't done enough! Thank you boys, your the tops. Oh, how much distance in percentage is the rough taking off of your clubs?
Great content Mark and Coach. Funny this has came out at this time as I tested hybrids to replace my 4 iron. I narrowed to three, G410, SIM Max and Mavrik Max on the range. What made my final decision was finding an area off the range more rough like. Chose the one that worked the best for me out of the taller stuff. I now have a Mavrik Max 4 hybrid Coach!
“Rough Balls”...
The course that i typically play here in Malaysia is typically cowgrass ( I don’t know what its called in the U.K) and even in hot conditions the grass is generally sticky and even in the fairway the ball will not run very much. When in the rough and if the ball is really set down, you really need to ‘Hulk’ it out with the most lofted club since the grass really grabs the ball and the clubhead 💪💪💪🤞🤞
If the ball is in the rough, but tee'd up nicely, would you recommend using a fairway wood, assuming you needed the distance?
Rough balls. at last somebody being realistic about handicappers golf game and giving good advice about how to improve your score. Thanks for the help.
Rough Balls
Another cracking video. I know others do this but, bring along a player / student who wouldn't possess the skill set that both of you have and see whether the results are similar. Everyone likes to bring the token "high handicapper", but in this instance and maybe other tricky scenarios (like the bunkers green side and fairway, obstacles to get around or over).
"Rough balls". I practice these ideas occasionally. More often, around our quite good practice areas, I practice some straight-forward chips and pitches first to warm up - then I find the most horrible lies I can, and try different clubs and different chip, pitch and bunker shots. It is interesting what I discover or work out, and it definitely helps when I play the course.
Interesting, however I play a woodland course and the ‘rough’ isn’t really rough. So regarding strokes gained what’s the approach when playing a course like that? Bomb and then punch out the tree’s?
You might not see this one Mark, but I think this is a good question for everyone. If you're having a bad day on the golf course, do you think you should add your shot scope data from that day to the collective data? I think it may end up skewing results rather than showing an actual good average. Kind of like an 'outlier day'. Let me know what you guys think. Thanks!
"ROUGH BALLS" great tips never thought about them
Helpful video for longer rough. Rough Balls are tough, but here in Texas sometimes rough isn't thick so much as it's more soil and less grass...hit a fantastic approach the other day from basically a dirt path but I think it encouraged me to make sure I had clean contact. That said...I wouldn't bet on me being able to do it again.
Absolutely great tips here. This will save me strokes out there! Thank you Mark,
Sidebar - I see coach is sponsored by Ecco, what model shoe does he wear?
I've visited parts of the course which look like the upside-down from stranger things...
Rough balls, great vids really helping my game👍🏌️♂️
Rough balls. Excellent video guys. Very useful tips 👍
HI MARK I do not worry about the rough. Because I like the challenge . If my game is poor I will grip down a Driver set ball position between center mark on driver and shaft of club and hit it not that high but my game then is better . but also a confidence booster. I prefer irons no matter what place ball ends up and the 4 iron is my best club. paul
Good stuff.
I doubt most h/c golfers hit 50% greens either, but if they practice chips at all, it is on the flat bits next to the practice green.
We are all (mostly) idiots...
How about tiny blades Vs chunky monkey game improvers out the rough. For me, I feel like my blades get less resistance out the rough.
I've had my fair share of "rough balls" like most hacks. Hybrids vs Irons is a bit like bulldozer vs garden trowel 😉
Mark did you baseball grip the hybrid out of the rough as well?
Thanks
ROUGH BALLS, hitting rough a bit trying to sort out driving last few weeks been doing OK, always try and hit what I know what will get out of rough when I do go in
"ROUGH BALLS"
Great video lads nice to see someone doing a video on different shots out of the rough I spend more time in the rough than I do at home 👍
'Rough balls' more great advice guys. Club selection and shot type out of rough is.something ido struggle with so thanks for tips.
this is an amazing video explaining what's going on for a lot of us, that land in the 2nd cut and 3rd cut areas and the complete rough areas that are thick. So I can't thank you enough for doing this it gives great insight. Curious question though: In your normal iron shot, one would hit the ball first and then take a divot on a fairway, So given that premise, why in the rough are you moving the ball back in the stance? and when you demonstrated your practice swing, were you hitting the ground so much before the ball?
Great video as always. Got fitted for a driver and 3 wood. Then realised I needed to sort my gapping out to irons and got fitted for a SIM 4 hybrid a few days later. Love it and hit it all the time- tee shots, long par 3s, rough. Haven’t hit my driver and 3 wood at all in last two rounds and best two scores of season. Should I now get a 3 or 5 hybrid?!
This is a great vid mark, I’m in the rough a lot but I don’t necessarily practice from it much if I’m honest. I think I will do a 9 holes in the evening at my local course, play worst ball, or kick one into the rough if by some miracle both my tee shots end up in the fairway play a few shots as long as I’m not holding anyone up xD
Rough Balls
I don't mind the rough, I almost find it more predictable with fluffy lies, it's like the ball is teed up.
Me and my mate just shot 108/109, so i'd say we spend 70% in the rough, you may laugh but we get better value per round then most :)
Nice topic. Any chance you could put numbers to the differences between rough to fairway? What percentage range are you thinking you lose from the rough? (Assuming you use a little harder and steeper swing). When will they create a crystal ball range finder that just tells us these things :)
So I don't know if it's just region. But NE united states, especially in the summer rough at most places tends to burn out a little bit. When that happens I pretty much play the same as I would from the fairway because the grass is so whispy.
"Rough Balls" This is some REAL good content. Good work Bruh!!
Just curious - I love my Srixon hybrids, do they also make "Rough Balls"?
"ROUGH BALLS!" I won’t take no prisoners...
If the lie was pretty good in the rough after a poor drive I used to thump a 4 iron when I used to carry one if not I would get a 7 or 8 iron get it back in play and as far down as possible, shots closer to the green I would play around with various clubs from 9 to sand wedge, but I'm an a naughty old boy because I just loved playing and being out on the course I very rarely practise but in saying spent a lot of time hitting second shots from the rough after my drives ended up in there so you could say that was my practice ..ooops 😀. Great vlog lads, always very enjoyable and full of great tips 👍
Rough Balls
Tough to practice when the driving area is well groomed. Need to find a farmers field then I guess!!
This video is absolutely brilliant, and EXACTLY what I needed to understand how to approach shots from the rough better. It's absolutely important to spend time learning how to hit out of the rough and situations where the lie isn't perfect....because we aren't perfect and neither is our ball striking 100% of the time. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
Interesting subject. Knew soon was affected but the other tips are intriguing. Next game will definitely try them
Rough balls
I'm usually alright off the tee but my shots from the rough are generally around the green. I've learnt to judge roll and bounce a lot better and really trying to visualise each shot first. If you can't visualise it, it probably ain't going to happen!
This is good stuff, however I noticed that the grass you are playing out of is a bit more "fluffy"...many of the course we play over here in the states have very dense rough. you generally will take a club extra because the denseness grabs the club pretty heavy.
"Rough balls" ... I am like coach..plenty of practice :)
Rough Balls.
Love the Z Star ball, as good as anything. 👍🏌️⛳️
