I love your videos. Took some of your tips to the range today and I"m driving the ball longer with a nice slight draw. I make sure my trail hand wins the race to the ball! Your channel deserves 500,000 subscribers....best golf videos on YT!
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad no worries...its easy for anyone to add google mirror extension to any yt...I use it when I watch your videos now,,, everyone can get the app for free. With a single click...I can now watch you as a right handed swinger!
Last two rounds have been 90-85, which is pretty good for me. Highlight included a 276 yard par four that I drove and make a kick in birdie. My consistency with all clubs is markedly better and I really appreciate the concepts you've shared, which put me on a much better path. I know in a month that I am going to be in a great place. Thanks, Marcus!
Okay, notice your Clubface is set to the golf ball, but your Low Point is way behind you, should your sternum be pointing at the Low Point and the clubface shown in your setup with Driver? Hope you're feeling better and recovering at lightening speed...
Thanks for asking. I'm getting a little better every day but I have a long way to go. We can place the low point where ever we want depending on how we move our arms. I don't think my sternum has anything to do with it. I think it point slightly forward of the ball at set up most of the time but that is nothing I think about. My low point is on my side because I circle back and forward. I start with the ball in front of me but I hit it on my side if I do it correctly. 👍
Hi Marcus My first round this Spring in Minnesota 64 degrees and overcast. I agree with your other viewers that you gold advice certainly produces great results! Keep up the great work!!!
Marcus, would it be possible to see your driver swing in slow motion from face on, and any other views think that are pertinent? Thanks. Your videos have changed my game. My golfing buddies are jealous😂
Your instructions are great. One question. Could be optical illusion. Club face, especially driver looks open at address. Doesn't really matter at address as long as path in to out.
It is opened at address to tel my brain I need to release to hit it straight. Set up is personal but could affect how you think and what you need to do to hit it straight.
I’ve been doing it wrong the entire time. I always come in too steep and pull it inside. Will take some practice but hoping this could help make golf not so complicated. Thanks!
Jeff if that is your problem you I one of very few. I have probably meet 5 golfers in 15 years that hit the ground regularly with the driver. Use a high enough tee and don't put the ball too far forward and it should work fine.
Hi Marcus, love your channel and have adapted your swing ideas for great results with my game. Any thoughts on putting? Do you treat the release the same way? would love to see a video from you on putting.
Hi David. I'm glad you find value in my videos. I will probably not go into putting, it's almost a different sport. Maybe there will be some putting drills in the future. 👍
Wife's and mine Im Alan been playing 30 years. 60 now. Pull always my problem. Been low as a 2 before. Not so much now, because tried the wrong stuff trying to get to scratch. Wish I had seen your simple instructions years ago. Absolutely brilliant. Most of the instructions out there, amateurs simply can't do , nor should they try
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thanks for your response.. before i found your channel I would setup with the driver in the middle of my stance and the driver resting 2 inches behind the ball. Which helped me catch the ball on the up swing. But not very consistent and short drives. With your system and focusing on the early release, maybe i am not contributing to turn. I will review your driver videos some more. I am loving my iron shots now. Hybrid and driver is still in progress.. thanks again.
Thank you Marcus. do you use a single plane swing like Moe Norman with high hands at address ? When i rise my hands with the driver it works really well but not so good with irons. Thanks again for your videos.
Hi Gianluca. I don't think I have much in common with Moe Norman but my svingplne is little bit of both. More like a single plane before impact and more a two plane sving after release and impact. At address I normally like low hands but your set-up will never hit the ball so make it personal if you need. 👍
Hi. The most important part is to see/feel a circle in to the ball and not a straight line. I think this is a good video to start with: th-cam.com/video/N1HrX4C5aWk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=DGnSfvKqQVSQLvYR
Great to see the doors open ! Great Video as always. One question: I think deep, and think down to hit up, but still have the draw become a hook on occasion. Driver only. Most likely causes if draw becomes hook occasionally ? Too fast ? Face control issue ? Path not in-to-out enough ? Other ? Love this move. TX!
Hi Bob. The path is probably more in-to-in than in-to-out. The reason is probably a rotation in your forearms that is bringing the club around you instead of out and up. The club head should pass on the outside of your hands on the way up.
I know that Dunaway talked about that but it's nothing I think about. Hitting from the inside will give you a motion that looks close to that but I don't think we can train that, it's a result of the way we use the club. 👍
They do different things. My lead hand controls the club face and my trail hand give the pushing power. They are alone and dominant in the work they do.
@@ChiTherapie I got that from all my hockey slap shots and it works for me in golf. My smart hand is my lead hand and the feel of the club is mostly in that hand.
Marcus, I see in slowmotion that your trail hand is in line with the shaft at impact, while I was trowing my clubhead to the ball from behind. It looks like the magic is in the small things. Its not there yet, but it will soon. 😎💪🏻
Loft is our friend. We need it to keep the spinn at a good level. Depending on your swing speed you can find a correct lofted driver. To low loft will make the ball dive early.
Do you find having a slightly open stance helps hit up on the ball? I got on a track man for the first time and started to open up a bit (I may have been correcting a closed stance) and found it easier to get + attack angle. Smash factor started going up tremendously.
Hi Mason. A slightly open stance gives you a better chance to use your trail side. More trail side will give you better release and a better release will give you a better strike. 👍
It's not working every time but I would say I hit a decent draw 98% of the time. I practice everyday but it probably took a few years before I started to trust it. The more we practice the better it works. 💪
may I ask a question - when you address the ball when using the driver you seem further away from the ball then most arms more at a 45 degree angle and not hanging starlight down as we are often told to do. Do you find having more of a reaching out for the ball swing is more beneficial?
@@tgilbertson747 I wanna keep about the same angle between the shaft and the arms. The length of the driver then forces me to have my hands further away from my body.
Thanks!
Been watching almost all your golf tips.....little contribution to show gratitude, Marcus. Warmest regards from Malaysia :)
Thanks you so much. Glad you find my channel valuable. 🙏
I"m going to the range today to try your up swing practice drill...thanks Marcus
Great to hear. Give a good chance. 👍
Thank you Marcus. You are responsible for my longer and straighter drives. I cannot say in words how much I appreciate it. Great job!

We all need to. 💪
Awesome explanation Marcus. I will do the drill until I get it right over and over 👍🏻💯🙏🏼
Sounds good. 💪
Hi Marcus

Nice Mike. I'll keep going as long as you all keep watching. 👍
Marcus, would it be possible to see your driver swing in slow motion from face on, and any other views think that are pertinent?

I'm glad it has been helpful. There will be more slow motion in the future but I don't know when. 👍
Another great lesson, thanks Marcus!🏌️
You are very welcome. 👍
Ian McCollum is gun Jesus, you have become my version of golf Jesus. Solid ponytail
Thank you 🙏
Another good video Marcus, I’m still trying to get a draw with my driver. Lefty from Texas
Work on the timing. Your trail hand is not winning the race to the ball.

It's always hard to change but you can do it! I see it do wonders every day. 👍
I agree, but how do you not hit the ground behind the ball?
Jeff if that is your problem you I one of very few. I have probably meet 5 golfers in 15 years that hit the ground regularly with the driver. Use a high enough tee and don't put the ball too far forward and it should work fine.

Thank you for the videos. On the driver, why do i keep hitting the ground, 2 feet behind the ball when i try to swing up with the Driver?
I hardly see that happen ever. Probably a to low tee or/and the ball position is to far forward in your stance. What's your normal attack angle?
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad thanks I would need to google Dunaway tbh I have not heard of him
Hi buddy, do you have a dominant hand or are they in your perception always together? ✌️❤️🏌🏻♂️⛳️
They do different things. My lead hand controls the club face and my trail hand give the pushing power. They are alone and dominant in the work they do.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad interesting. Specialy with the followtrough. My right hand Seems faster than my turn turn of the body.

What degree loft do you use Marcus ? Does the ball go further the lower the loft ?

Hi Mason. A slightly open stance gives you a better chance to use your trail side. More trail side will give you better release and a better release will give you a better strike. 👍
What driver shaft combo are you using in this video Marcus? Thanks
Hi. An old pul out shaft from a Ping driver, regular 44.5 inch. Callaway X2 hot head 5 degree. My absolute favorite club.
When you tee up for an iron shop do you still hit up?
Hi Robert. I normally never hit up with an iron. It will only become a high weak shot. Always push down or along the turf.
Strike is king.
Always. 👍
How much time did it Kate you to learn this so it works every time?
It's not working every time but I would say I hit a decent draw 98% of the time. I practice everyday but it probably took a few years before I started to trust it. The more we practice the better it works. 💪
everytime I hit up i hit a massive block off the range
John, the more you hit up on the ball the more release you need/can do. It's a good thing, just release earlier when you launch it high.
1:14 "That's not a good golf shot" lol
Glad you enjoyed it. 👍
Thanks!
Thanks for the tribute to my little channel. 🙏
