I practice my driver more than any other club. It allows me to have a shorter iron to the green and I am usually 100% in the fairway on all my drives. As a 65 yr old female senior, driving 200+ yds off the white tee, your videos have helped me immensely. Practice pays off! IF something isn't working...stop, and do something else. Don't keep repeating what isn't working. Your videos help me understand that the driver and irons are 2 different swings or timing. thanks for all you do.
6:55 tried out your guidance and was shocked as to how far I was melting my drives. Haven't hit my drives like that since my twenties (69 now). I think I used to time my release earlier then. It's only since looking at you tube teachers who all banged on about lag and casting that messed up my drives. You are a breath of fresh air and common sense. Thank you.
THIS IS A POWERFUL LESSON,your thoughts about fantasy ball is wonderful,another is straight is too late,and in to out at 45 degrees.my students are jumping for joy.almost all my lessons are for TO STOP SLICING,THIS JUST FLAT OUT WORKS
Watched two of your videos on changing your mind /stopping the slice. Absolutley wowed by the immediate change when visualizing hitting the ball 2-3 feet behind the ball and especially releasing the club way early to hit it straight and farther! Immediate results so far!!! Thank you! Keep uop the great content!!
I have to second this comment. Yesterday I really tried releasing way behind the ball with driver and I was hitting drives I’ve never seen before. My main struggle is having a consistent setup. Gonna take time, but this single swing thought is the missing piece. Hit way behind the ball is my thought. (Driver)
Thank you so much the push of the right side arm has made a huge difference, it also makes sure my left arm does not get off my chest and allows me to really deliver the hit with speed with my right hand. Straighter, longer and simply easier on my body and maximize my potential congratulations the loading of the right shoulder is superb !
@@philipkingsworth6638 My lead arm is hardly rotating but bending upwards. With a stronger grip there would be a lot more rotation but with my nautral grip the rotation is minimum. I have never measured it but my goal has always been to rotate my forearms as little as possible.
Marcus, using my wife's account, thank you! I'm so glad that I found your channel, I don't know if it's because I am also lefthanded, but everything you teach just clicks with me. I am nursing a Jones fracture of the fifth metatarsal in my left foot, still wearing a boot, (5 months) and just went to the range to try your technique. Wow! Everything is so much easier in the swing, I have added distance as well as accuracy simply by pushing away in the downswing to make a circle and swinging inside to out. Thank you!
Another great video Marcus, I have spent most of my golfing life (along with many others I think) trying to perfect a golf swing to hit a draw, but as they say -Insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. Most humans and that very much includes me are very unwilling to step out of your comfort zone. My experience with golf teaching is that it is always the traditional view taught that you have to swing along the target line, your guide to better golf breaks this belief. I am now trying to swing across the target line from inside to out. It is mind over matter with me but when I get it right there is no better feeling that hitting a draw. Always a pleasure watching your tutorials please keep posting
I've watched about 80% of your videos and implementing important points which is why I think you repeat them in your videos. After 4 times hitting balls at the driving range, I get a little better every time. My irons and hyrbid is working great. The driver is working but like you said, it will take some practice to get the timing down. I use to follow an online instructor who also advocates using the right hand with flexion and extension which has been very effective, but what set you apart for me was your stressing the importance of unloading the angles early and actively using the right wrist instead of being passive with it. I get much more compression, ball speed and better ball striking on a shallow angle, similar to hitting a nail with a hammer. I also like how you stressed using an in to out swing. This has helped me hit it straighter without hitting pulls to the left. Thanks again, and I look forward to getting better for spring golf. I wish you were here in the USA so I can take a lesson from you. Best regards.
Great vids, many thanks. Main struggle, hitting lots of balls perfect on the DR but struggle to "find" the swing after long walks on the course... poor lies etc. Course management and strategy.
Try to reduce the amount of balls you hit with every club. Change club every 5 shot and you will better learn to adapt to any club in the first try. Keep going. 👍
Brilliant video, you’re a natural teacher, well done. I wonder at some stage in the future could you clarify what not to do with the wrists and what to do when releasing the club. The in-to-out idea is very clear now so thank you very much BUT what about the wrists and how do they hinge correctly as you swing through the ball at impact. There is the cocking motion (radial deviation, ulnar deviation) which I think is correct but there’s also flexion/extension which I think might be incorrect? Steve Elkington used to teach 45 degrees to the right path, Mike Austin the same. A lot of the old wisdom in golf gets lost in the glossy magazines and new trends
Hi. If you watch this series of 5 you will get more details about hands and wrists. Also more is coming in the near future: th-cam.com/video/JYJrkN991ac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CW-sN7qLQA850zuA
At the top, I aim at the ball perpendicular, and I think everything, knee, hands, etc towards the ball in that manner, and throw the club. Feels extreme but never fails me, as long as I allow my self to be aggressive enough with the release. Used to have over the top/pull problems, but never with this thinking. But I do need to prepare my mind with the mental image of doing this before. And that I do before I step up on the tee box. Seing the shot. Don't want to have too many thoughts when it's time to throw the hell of that driver :D
Hi. All you will see is that I hit up on the ball. I try to do it as early as possible but still watching the video it looks late. I talk more about it in this slow motion video: th-cam.com/video/efRsbb--k5k/w-d-xo.htmlsi=kiGXO3QVepmmYZfG
Hey Marcus, another great video and fantastic information…. 6HC and have always played a fade… now I have 8-10 degree inside out and a high draw…. Won’t ever go back to a fade… Once winter ends in Norway I will try it in the real world…. Hope speed training is going well… I have started it as well…. Thanks again and keep sending great information our way
Changing my entire mindset to a more hand & arm instead of a locked V is going to be challenging. And releasing early and aiming three feet back is going to feel weird. The inside out I get but what about the clearing of the hips?
Absolutely, every change is hard and needs a good exaggeration to even be a change. I still try after 20 years to exaggerate the swing out but still can't do to much. Regarding your hips, they will move as a help to what your trail hand wants to do. Watch this to understand more: th-cam.com/video/sDFYVXMDYFI/w-d-xo.htmlsi=usEnknDSVmRTFBkP
I’m really enjoying your stuff The way you explain stuff is just genius it makes things so much clearer at least for me Now comes the hard part putting in my game I have a greater understanding of what I need to do but doing it will take time Do you suggest trying it at a slower speed and keep increasing or just keep trying at normal speed until you get it thanks for giving us your time and valuable insight
We all learn differently but I always start with my Pw and work my way up to the driver. It works for me. Patience is the skill we all need the most. 💪
I started following you three months and a half ago Marcus, as an oldie it totally transformed my ball stricking, the in to out path isn't that difficult, just takes a bit of practice. Absolutely spot on about very strong grip and standing shut, actually i think the latter makes one aim right, and then you either block big time, or use excessive hand action and risk a duck hook. All amauters struggling should follow you, instead of trying to copy positions like most teachers teach, using tour pros as model
sounds like Dalton Mcary do not delay the release. When you say release are you talking about pushing with the right arm or throwing with the wrist. The way I see it is that the right arm elbow drives the ball and the right wrist over taking the left is either up for driver or down for irons. But I am probably wrong. I am not rolling the wrist more of a mike austin slab so head does not really rotate by wrist more body and arms in the arc. That is as long as I keep the big right shoulder out of it in the beginning which is of course a slice or super pull
Sound like you are getting things together and it works. The release for me is the trail hand passing the lead hand. The faster it happens the faster clubhead speed we will get. It starts with the trail arm extending and ends with the lead arm folding.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad wow never thought of it that way. A light just came on. I always thought of release as either wrist or arm push but to view it from start of arm push to collapse of lead (left for me) arm is something to ponder. Would avoid quitting on the shot and a bunch of other bad things. Like my big right shoulder. Note I like that you do not really do swing mechanics. You focus in a simple way the thoughts of were you want the golf club. I never played hockey but in baseball you swing at the ball you don't have mechanical thoughts just think of putting the bat on the ball. You are applying that to golf in a terrific way. Thanks and Merry Christmas. Did you make 190? I hope so.
Marcus love the lessons one question you say have a open stance but your stance looks slightly closed it may be just the camera angle ball striking much better just struggling with the woods getting there slowly
My opinion, where it gets dicey, is stance setup, are you Square, are you Closed to hitting 15 to 20 degrees Left if you are a left-handed golfer or the same degrees if you are right-handed, it's the Stance that really squirrels the mind than we start changing the stance than the Army golf starts, Left, Right, Right Left...the release 3 feet before the ball this is where the sternum comes in, now your focus is 3' behind than we miss the ball or a worm burner trying to get the clubface of the Driver back to the ball.
I am trying to follow your instruction on swinging inside to outside and feeling as though it is 45 degrees. In order to "feel" a swing path this extreme I need to start my takeaway drastically inside. Is this your intent to feel very inside for my takeaway? I also am having a problem with your description of allowing your trail hand to pass your lead hand leading for impact. Is this exaggerated on time 8:47 of this video? I enjoy our videos but I am having problems interpreting some of your descriptions. An overhead vew looking down along your spine angle may alleviate some confusion.
The take away does not have to be exaggerated to the inside but the out feeling through the ball should. When I do this my path through the ball is only 8-10 degrees going out. Seeing it doesn't help, we need to separate what we try to do with is much from what we do, with is a little. Rotation will make it impossible to get too much out on the way through the ball.
This may sound crazy, but for me to release the Driver 3' feet behind me I have to swing my Driver past Parallel and it drops into place, kinda like a John Daly...
Listen to what I say in the video. I try to release the driver very, very early to get it right. The optimum release point/low point is about one feet from the ball. If you already do it and hit up on the ball you don't need to overdo it. I can't but maybe you can.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad 🙂You're an Animal, you helped me to the Next Level with a few changes, so you understand I was the Hockey Sticker Breaker too many times to mention🏒🏒 Hitting down with Irons I was close to finding water most of the time with the missing divots...😁
I think we can use the same path for all shots. The more advanced we get we may have to learn some different techniques to have more tools in our short game.
Thank you marcus, great explanation. In the takeaway, should I feel like I am tracing the ball to target line in first couple of feet away from the ball? Or would you suggest I takeaway “inside” the ball to target line? I understand inside out in the downswing. Just unsure in the takeaway.
George, as long as you don't roll your wrist and get the club to much behind you it will work. If I have to choose I think you should try to mimic the take away and your swing path, slightly inside.
I am working to incorporate your method into my swing. It is very promising and your skill as a teacher is unmatched. One question: I have long played with a club face that I close at address. From this setup, I draw the ball occasionally. But it is not a high draw and even using longer tees, I am unable to release the power the same way you advocate. You also advocate a square to slightly open club face at address but I don't get the same power I do with the closed clubface. Do you think I should stay with the closed face and continue to work on the inside-out action? Or is there a drill I can use to help me find the optimal height and carry for my drives from a square or slightly open club face? Thanks in advance.
Hi. Starting with a closed face takes away the chance of a good aggressive release. That release will make you hook the ball if you start closed. When you start straight or slightly open you need to release the club earlier to get the draw but you will also get more speed from that release. Earlier release is what you should practice.

@@geneczap5614 Timing is something we all need to learn and the ball is the only one who will tell you if you did it correct. When I started that journey I did it as late as possible and as early as possible just to feel the difference. Make the biggest exaggeration you can and go from there.
You've mentioned that you are right handed, playing left handed. Why did you buy a left-handed seven iron as your first club? In other words, was this a choice you thought about before deciding to play from the left side?
Hi James. Being a lefty in all other sports I never thought of hitting it the other way. 3 days in to my golfing experience the instructor on the beginner lesson I got forced me to test hitting it right handen and we both had a big laugh. I sticked to being a lefty. Did you know that Tiger and many of the stars in golf are naturally left handed?
I did not know that about Tiger Woods. Thanks for your quick response. Your videos are very helpful. I'm hitting a push draw about every fourth shot. I'll keep practicing in hopes of hitting it with a draw every time. @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
Hey Marcus, I've been following your ideas for about 3 months now and my driving has improved very much. I'm 71 and can hit it around 280 and sometimes longer, but this is with a slow take away and just accelerating a little bit before the ball but always inside to out. My swing speed is around 98mph. I'd like to swing a lot faster but also keep the accuracy, how can I swing at 110 and still be accurate? Is it possible?
Hi Roy. That's the journey I'm taking now. It's almost like weight training. We need to stress our body to learn to move faster. Start buy getting a swing speed monitor and try to swing faster and begin chasing a higher number. I can go deeper in to this in next speed video. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad take a look at him, might help... 7:34 / 9:34 Do This to Hit Longer Drives! | Secret Drill for More Club Speed | 3D-Proven by Martin Borgmeier
My problem is almost every shot with every club I hit goes to the left (a hook) I can only keep the ball in play by turning my body to the right. What am I doing wrong?
Inside to out, You're actually are not trying to hit it on that line. If I do with a straight elbow it actually goes that way. However with a slightly bent elbow it goes straighter. Amazing I feel so much more confident for the first time in my golfing life of 20 years. Thank you for really breaking the glass of others bad lessons for truly special golf essentials.
@GolfwithMarcusEdblad your methods work the best I've tried. However, I issue that still remains. Transferring my practice range time of great success to the golf course in live play. Do you have a video for that?

From this setup, I draw the ball occasionally. But it is not a high draw and even using longer tees, I am unable to release the power the same way you advocate. You also advocate a square to slightly open club face at address but I don't get the same power I do with the closed clubface. Do you think I should stay with the closed face and continue to work on the inside-out action? Or is there a drill I can use to help me find the optimal height and carry for my drives from a square or slightly open club face? Thanks in advance.
Hi. Starting with a closed face takes away the chance of a good aggressive release. That release will make you hook the ball if you start closed.
When you start straight or slightly open you need to release the club earlier to get the draw but you will also get more speed from that release. Earlier release is what you should practice. Watch this video:

Marcus, how can I practice early release you advise. When I try, it feels like I hurry the swing or shorten it. @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
@@geneczap5614 Timing is something we all need to learn and the ball is the only one who will tell you if you did it correct.
When I started that journey I did it as late as possible and as early as possible just to feel the difference. Make the biggest exaggeration you can and go from there.
I will. And thank you again. @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
If I focus on inside and up and end up pushing it to the right, is it because I am just too late to the ball? I am a right-handed golfer.
You are correct. Watch this to understand more:

Super: images are thoughts..change your thoughts and you will improve ✨ Stressdr..
Thanks Martin. 👍
You've mentioned that you are right handed, playing left handed. Why did you buy a left-handed seven iron as your first club? In other words, was this a choice you thought about before deciding to play from the left side?
Hi James. Being a lefty in all other sports I never thought of hitting it the other way. 3 days in to my golfing experience the instructor on the beginner lesson I got forced me to test hitting it right handen and we both had a big laugh. I sticked to being a lefty. Did you know that Tiger and many of the stars in golf are naturally left handed?
I did not know that about Tiger Woods. Thanks for your quick response. Your videos are very helpful. I'm hitting a push draw about every fourth shot. I'll keep practicing in hopes of hitting it with a draw every time. @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
@@JamesHarris-wv2du Exaggerate the swing out and the early release and you will find it soon. Keep going. 👍
Hey Marcus, I've been following your ideas for about 3 months now and my driving has improved very much. I'm 71 and can hit it around 280 and sometimes longer, but this is with a slow take away and just accelerating a little bit before the ball but always inside to out. My swing speed is around 98mph. I'd like to swing a lot faster but also keep the accuracy, how can I swing at 110 and still be accurate? Is it possible?
Hi Roy. That's the journey I'm taking now. It's almost like weight training. We need to stress our body to learn to move faster. Start buy getting a swing speed monitor and try to swing faster and begin chasing a higher number. I can go deeper in to this in next speed video. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad many thanks Marcus,I look forward to you getting that ball speed over 200mph!!
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad take a look at him, might help...

Do This to Hit Longer Drives! | Secret Drill for More Club Speed | 3D-Proven by Martin Borgmeier
@@MsRocketRoy I know Martin but the problem for me is that I don't have his body and therefore I can't do most of the things he's talking about. 😁
My problem is almost every shot with every club I hit goes to the left (a hook) I can only keep the ball in play by turning my body to the right. What am I doing wrong?
Hi Mac. There is probably some rolling of the wrist going on. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/wi3xyG-OQNQ/w-d-xo.html
Love your 2 rules: 1) swing as much from the inside, and 2) release as early as possible - th-cam.com/video/BmrZxIFGgis/w-d-xo.html
It works. 👍
Inside to out, You're actually are not trying to hit it on that line. If I do with a straight elbow it actually goes that way. However with a slightly bent elbow it goes straighter. Amazing I feel so much more confident for the first time in my golfing life of 20 years. Thank you for really breaking the glass of others bad lessons for truly special golf essentials.
Thank you. I need to tell my body to exaggerate a lot to get what I want to happen when I hit a ball. 👍
@GolfwithMarcusEdblad your methods work the best I've tried. However, I issue that still remains. Transferring my practice range time of great success to the golf course in live play. Do you have a video for that?
@@mabblers If you make it hard on the range by changing clubs all the time and hitting balls like you play the golf course it will work. Always focus on doing the best first shot you can with every club. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thanks I'll try that. I've been practicing one club for ten times for good shot if not then repeat then change.
Good plan. @@mabblers
Timing kills my driver a slice 240-260yds terrible hands always in front of club head
Sadly that's normal. Exaggerate the early release until the slice is gone then work on the path. 👍
