lol im 5 months old and can hit it 300 yards, lets skip those okay.
Hi Mark, love your videos. One tip that I can say has helped me not only
with slice, but also helped me get much more distance is one I got from
watching Michael Breed. Address the ball so that it’s more towards the toe.
This forces you to have to reach a little to hit the ball in the center,
which forces you to have to swing more inside out.
Commented on your video hope it helps some pretty basic stuff, Good Luck.
Dear Mark, I have a problem with my driver on the distant. I am hit solid
and straight but I can never hit it far. Only manage to achieve 170 to 190
yds. Please take a look at my video clip and hope you can advice.

could u look at my channel plz mark
I’ve paid my dues on this topic. For me it started changing when I tried to
hit my right leg on the downswing and stopped cupping my left wrist. In a
spinning back fist (think taikwondo) you might give your wrist a snap, but
this won’t do anything positive for a driver swing, unless you’re fighting
60mph right to left winds.
Why do you hit your irons straight but slice your driver.

From AskGolfGuru Mark Crossfield’s Q&A channel a question about irons and
drivers.
Thanks, Mark! I appreciate it greatly! Indeed, a lot of my driver hits are
off centre…which would make sense with what you are saying here. I am
presently looking up d-plane/deplane (not sure which it is, so I’m trying
both), so that will hopefully help out as well. My plan is also to get a
couple of lessons with a coach within the next few weeks or so. Thanks
again for the help and the vids! They are an incredible help!
6 months later, I’m pretty much the opposite. I actually changed to a
scotty cameron, and I average about 27 putts per round, but I am having
trouble keeping my swing consistent. Whatever, because I’m shooting high
70s on average now ;).
I see the Covert made it into your bag !
looking for help with my swing, anyone willing to check it out just go to
my channel
I’m 14 and i have this problem, so this is a bit hard to understand with
the face and things but i have booked a lesson with the pro at our local
course for thursday so hopefully will get it straighter!
I think you missed an important point. If you strike the ball an ascending
angle of attack of say 5deg then you need to have a horizontal swing path
of 5 deg to the right to zero the path. I think the relationship between
angle of attack, horizontal swing plane and vertical swing plane on a zero
path could help the average golfer understand while you need a different
swing direction feel for iron and driver.
I had this problem too and it was getting on my nerves. So I booked in a
lesson, and the guy told me to open up the club face on my backswing
(because he noticed I wasn’t doing that with my driver, whereas with my
irons I was). Then told me to simply be aware to rotate my wrist back to
position zero as I do my downswing. Worked like a charm. May not apply to
your problem, but the point is to book in a lesson and get a pro to have a
look.
I have looked at the d plane vids and that would suggest to me that it’s
important to have the driver custom fitted !!!
Hey Mark, good videos again! Why is there always a tape in the middel of
the saft of the driver you have in your bag at that given time?
Hey Mark, I have a lot of issues with putting, especially on the short
ones. I seem to use too much of my hands/wrists and not enough of anything
else, and I push it most of the time (put if I fire the wrists fast enough,
I so conveniently pull it…). Do you have any tips on how to keep my hands
more passive in the putting stroke? I could potentially hit scratch if I
get this information (I average about 60-70% GiR, but also average about
36+ putts).
I had this exact same problem as well but the remedy is the opposite. With
my swing I was actually getting stuck because my hands were too close to my
body so when I drove with my hips, my arms got stuck which lead to
unconsiously flipping through impact (slow mo swing dicovery) because the
driver was so long, I could never square the clubface which lead to those
massive slices and when I did try to concsiously flip through impact
(thinking it would square the face) I pullhook instead.
Perhaps its right there where the divider in the bag is, and it might
scratch the shaft. I have had that problem myself once with an old bag. So
I applied a sticker right there to not damage the shaft.
Benjamin Anderson is right. I had this problem with the flex and stiff
shafts.
