I wish I would have found you 25 years ago. I’m left handed, kind of built like you (you could kick my ass tho most likely 😂), an engineer. Until you came along and gave me the confidence to pursue the “unconventional” I was not at ease in following up with things that worked but seemed wrong according to all the teaching buffoons out there. Thank you - again.
Marcus, today for the first time I used your method for the entire 18 holes. I shot 4 over par. Hit 12 fairways and never in trouble. Hit all 4 par 3s and 13 greens total in regulation. Unfortunately, my short game abandoned me and wound up with 33 puts and two double bogies, two bogies and two birdies for a round of 76. Your method offered me an automatic backswing. No thinking about positions or hands. Beautiful. Solid irons except two shots. Great feeling. My confidence built up as the round progressed shooting one under par in the back nine. My friend, you are a golfing genius.
I've changed my grip from watching you..set the ball further back in my stance..swing inside to out..focused on timing and tempo...I'm crushing it with a beautiful draw..golf is fun again..I'm 67.
More golden advice. When I do as you teach in this video I stripe the ball and with good distance. When I get tight or try to over-swing I slice or hook.
Marcus,every time I watch one of your videos they make me want to throw my clubs in the car and head to the range! They just make so much sense to me. I know I hold on to lag when on the course and also deadening my feet and knees when nervous resulting in weak slices or flat out mishits that go 30 yards. Frustrating and embarrassing when the day before I hit shot after shot long high and straight on the range with perfect timing.You sir,give me hope of overcoming this brain cramp!
Hi Michael. I'm glad I can inspire you to practice. Golf is hard and what you see in my videos are 23 years of daily practice. You will get what you want as long as you keep going. 👍
Happy New Year and great subject matter to start the year off Your so correct when you said 20 years of practice and still can’t get the face squared back up is what frustrates so many of us What helps me in this area is feeling that the club head and my belly button are one and the same If I get that combo back to the starting point I usually have a good shot … swing speed This vision/feeling helps me to control my swing speed so I can contain my body and club so that all the peaces off the swing puzzle fit If the body is ahead of the club or the club is ahead of the body …the club face will not be in the correct position for the shot we are wanting Swing speed Containment…now that’s something we all can work on Great start for the new year Marcus
Watched this and your video on fast arms not just wrists in last few days . Played tonight , best golf for a long time . I was trying to use your excellent teaching . Thanks so much - it works . I hope your health continues to improve .
Great to have you back. Still struggling a little with consistency, and hope to make a video this month for your analysis. Very informative lessons mate, and we all appreciate your insight and advice. Cheers my friend. Jacko
Too true mate, and for me, the hardest thing to do because I want to kill the ball most days. Especially with unhappy hands. I guess one of the more difficult lessons to give, because it’s so hard for us amateurs to master. Thanks Marcus, puts the golf swing in perspective mate. 99% draws… me too. I simply can’t slice nor fade for love or money. But, some unkind souls call my bad shots disgraceful hooks. I know. I know… too much lead arm, and crap timing. I can block with the best of ‘em though. Working on it my friend. Working on it. 🤙 Thanks for your guidance 🙏 Jacko
Charlie Earp (Normans coach) in 2001 told me he’d get me to 1. I practiced. I played. You’ve mentioned your struggles. One day great, next shite. Mate, no need to reply 👍 It’ll be a good day but I can’t watch too much else. 55 and retired, and apart from family, I only love golf. You’re helping so many golfers, my friend. See you in Stockholm one day soon mate. Jacko 🇦🇺
Hello friend, ask me a question? I'm following your golf swing in a circle. I noticed that you always position the ball on your left foot and the drive a little in front, this makes it easier for the ball to come out
This might seem counterintuitive, but I release the club better with a weak to neutral grip. It seems like I block the shot when I use a stronger grip. I am learning to play left-handed. I am naturally left-handed, but when I first started playing golf (about 60 years ago) at age 13, left-handed clubs weren’t readily available. In my 20s I turned pro and was an assistant at a golf course in the Dallas, TX area. When playing often, I used a fairly weak grip and hit the ball pretty straight. I left the golf business in 1976, but I played consistently until 2000. I have only played once since then, but I’ve gone to the range several times lately. I don’t play, because a round takes so much time and costs a lot for as long as it takes. I don’t really have a good reason for playing left-handed other that it’s supposed to be good for the brain to do things differently. Plus it’s a good challenge to keep this geezer active. I’m having some success left-handed. If I ever do play again, I’ll play with right-handed woods and left-handed irons😂
Lost my swing, mate 😭. Hoping the video will help! Hope things are going well with the treatment. Looking forward to seeing you back. All the best for now👍🤞
Hi Marcus, all the best for 2024 and keep the great video’s comming! I have a question; it looks to me that you have an open stand, if so how much open do you advice ?
Thank you. Regarding my stance I can only say that it is never closed. A closed stance will block me from using my trail side and the push forward. I can only advise you to keep it from being closed because a straight stance works and a slightly open stance works.
Hi Marcus, Swing going okay but i can not get any height from the middle of my stance with my longer irons. My 5 iron gets around 2 mertes from the ground. Please help Thankyou
What amazed me the most is one day i have the swing you show and the next time i am completely lost. The more i then watch more vids and all goes away. I think i have to stop watching tips. Maybe its a little correction but i have nobody around that can see what i do. I mean, i have played good before . So its time to grab a club and walk the fairways just like that. No lessons. No expectations or what so ever. . . . . . . .
Then my friend you have one move or one part of your body that don't understand what to do. Most often it's the lead arm still pulling to hard and destroying the release and timing. Restart with a short club and try to find the confused arm.
Love the videos.. Thank you! As another lefty, I struggle with slice with driver.. should I feel like my wrists are turning to the right at impact?.. I'm curious of your thoughts... Thanks
When your trail hand passes the lead hand there will be some turn in the wrist but we should not turn it more. We want as little twist of the forearm/club as possible.
@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thanks for replying.. I think that's where I struggle, being right hand dominant, but playing left, my trail arm feels like it's just along for the ride, not directing .. golf is hard!.. 😖
Just try swinging from slightly inside the ball to slightly outside, that will put a draw on the ball. Let the driver drop down to approx waist and go loosely in to out, it works. These lesions are the best I ever followed . I have played for 48 years now and did have a 3 handicap but surgeries have held me back, keep following Marcus!
OK, I think I just went to golf church.😇 I am hooked, I mean sliced, I mean.... best line, "then they go home and forget about it and have to come back and pay again." Been to Kista and Stockholm many years ago, beautiful country and people.
Hi Marcus happy new year…Can you let us know what the rear elbow looks like at the moment of impact is it being released into impact or is the bend to be held through impact and then released …Being a righty playing left the stupid arm needs to be told what to do. Thanks
Hi Billy. We need to release ALL angles but we do it differently hitting driver or iron. Everyone is not doing this the same so it's very hard to say how your elbow should look att impact. I know I have some extending left at impact with irons but I don't keep any angles, the palm down feeling gives me the motion I look for.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad thanks so much …Marcus. Trying to figure out how to send a super to buy you a cup of coffee.God bless you telling lots of folks about ur channel
I can manage around 8 dg from inside but my blade must be a bit open at impact to get the Draw to the Target. Is your blade straight at impact. ?🤔 Used trackman .
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Good - it compensates in the right way I think . The Draw is the best shot but on some holes the design demand a straight or fade. I like your style of not weighing over to the front foot letting that side defensive. Never too late 🙏
Hi Marcus. Thanks for this. Do you suggest training with a metronome for music. Mike Austin mentioned it years ago about setting it for 60BPM. Thoughts?
Hello Marcus, Happy New year to you. I am trying to change my golf into your way of swinging. Some things are slowly getting better. One thing is still confusing me a little bit. In the downswing with driver you are talking about an early release. That can be achieved by “throwing the club” to the right and back for a righthanded player. This part is working for me sometimes. But you also say that the pushing hand with driver needs to go up to the ceiling/sky. I feel this is two times pushing and I can’t make it work very good for me. I hope you understand what I mean and maybe you can enlighten me in the new year. Thank you for your very helpful advice and your program is really much easier on the back than the conventional way. Greetings, Marcel
Hi Marcel. If you think that you move the club in a circle it will all be the same. What start back and down from the top will be out and up through the ball if we follow a circle. Are you with me?
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Hi Marcus, yes i believe i am. Release will be there where the lowest point is and completing the circle is the result of the motion?
I have always placed the ball ahead in my stance setting up to hit a draw but now I can't produce that anymore.Last part of last season I started putting the ball back in my stance and ended up blocking everything,the occasional draw ,perfect trajectory.Its winter now so I can't work on range work but my indoor practice mat and rubber ball,I use a rubber ball,I put the the ball back in my stance with all clubs and can hit the ball with the new timing required for that setup and I have never felt as confident about hitting the ball consistently,ever. Now when I place the ball forward I can't even hit it.The ball placement more to the rear,I think causes you to have better timing because you have to release almost immediately,arms first and body supporting the move,complete opposite of the usual theory body first arms follow.
Great job with finding what actually works. I know that many golfers have been fooled to move the ball forward to hit a draw but you totally loose the chance of hitting it from the inside.
Great stuff Marcus. Golf is a game of hands, not the body, yet so few instructors teach this. I am not a great player, my short game is lousy, I don't practice it enough, but I can pretty reliably shape the ball, just by thinking about the hands. The body follows. You can have great fun on the range freaking people out by hitting fades from a closed stance etc.
Not for the long run. We need to learn to release in relationship to the ball wherever it is placed. I for sure don't put the ball perfectly in the same place every time.
Your correct once again marcus , the minute i start trying to dictate my release or when i fire the wrists thats when things start getting left or right , usually left with irons and right with driver . Are you saying that i should release from the top with all clubs and play with whatever the outcome is ,be it a draw with irons and fade with driver type thing , but commit and accept rather than guide or control ?
Sorry but I think you need to see the video again. What I am showing and telling everyone is that we need to decide when the release happens, not just do it. A late release will give you an open club face and a release in time will give yo the shot you are hitting. Could be a draw but also a hook if your hands are rolling the club over. It is not the same with short and long clubs. It needs to earlier if you want to hit up on the ball and later if you want a downward strike. Are you with me?
I think i need to take up cricket .. Trying to control release just brings to much into my swing , affects my set up and path . Im all hands with wedges and short irons but mid to longer clubs i lose all timing and intention if im trying to do more than put it all into the ball . Are you saying that i should be able to vary my release input at different times of the swing ? Or are you saying i should be able to hold off release like a cut ?
@@user_1664 Every student I have meet the last ten years have been able to make an earlier or later release to get to where they want to go. I don't think you have any choice than to learn if you want any kind of face control in your swing.
Hi marcus I find my takeaway line has much more useable control over my clubface than trying to time a release , my natural takeaway is inside the line and from that i will get a draw ( which im not fond of ) or occasionally the dreaded pull . If i takeaway down the target line i will get a relatively straight shot with very little shape -but- a get very solid very full contact . If i takeaway outside the line ( a little lifty ) then i will get a higher fade but a bit weaker say 75% , its useable, If however i try to control my release from any takeaway i start to get fats or thins , mostly finger stinging thins . Im only going by range shots and only have my senses for feedback . With a down the line takeaway i get very good dispersion and feel like i have plenty of time to fully unload into the shot . Maybe these different takeaways somehow adjust my release certainly my transition , but im going for it from the top or its not going well 🤷🏻♂️
Thanks for the awesome lesson yesterday Marcus. Do you find that focusing on a fixed spot on the ground helps? Reminding you to release the club while you still have your back to the ball with an inside-out path.
I wish I would have found you 25 years ago. I’m left handed, kind of built like you (you could kick my ass tho most likely 😂), an engineer.

What helps me in this area is feeling that the club head and my belly button are one and the same
If I get that combo back to the starting point I usually have a good shot … swing speed
This vision/feeling helps me to control my swing speed so I can contain my body and club so that all the peaces off the swing puzzle fit
If the body is ahead of the club or the club is ahead of the body …the club face will not be in the correct position for the shot we are wanting
Swing speed
Containment…now that’s something we all can work on
Great start for the new year Marcus
If I can make just a few golfers better in timing it will be a good year. 👍
