Marcus, I’ve been hitting it great with your videos. The other day I played in a tournament and the 1st day I played great - the second day I played bad, but it was a mental choke. I couldn’t “release early, swing up from inside” under pressure, probably cause it was new in my brain and the guy I played was scratch. So now I’m gonna work on mental things so next time I can deliver your methods under pressure. But, do you have any thoughts on the mental side? Thank you as always.
Thank you, Michael. I'm glad you find value in my videos. The mental side is interesting. Everyone is different and react differently on the golf course. Myself I need to be twice as good in practice to expect it to work on the golf course. Maybe that's a good video subject. 👍
My logarithm with TH-cam is finally correct and not wasting my time by showing me your videos and so many “ wow “ ones at that This is a big “ WOW “ one for sure TH-cam you finally got it right Good stuff here Marcus 👍⛳️👍
More top notch advice. I love your idea of exaggerating the errors. Something I tried recently was facing forward to hit golf balls (like in your circle of speed video) then gradually turning sideways and really paying attention to my hand path relative to target line. Then I hit some balls while intentionally keeping my back facing the target as long as possible and that REALLY helped me understand rotation. Baseball always made me instinctively turn my shoulders very early but hitting a golf ball you want to stay focused on that hand path while staying turned away a little longer. To me, it felt like the momentum of the club and arms pulls me into rotation anyway. You just need to worry about balancing then.
Oh I do understand but, bad habits die hard, I’ve been battling rotational tempo ( to fast )for a long time. My hip rotation is so fast, it beats the trailing elbow, resulting in the butt of the club pointing forward and again resulting in slices. Your clear explanation in regards to arm movement and tempo, gives me a good direction towards taming my slice. Thank you very much and keep up the good work.
Great advice Marcus I've been struggling with my swing path this makes a lot of sense. Also your advice to release the club early with the driver is pure gold thanks for the great videos
Hey Marcus, when I watch your swing I notice that at the top of your backswing your shoulders are relatively flat. Meaning if you put a 10 ft. piece of pipe across them it would point out in front of you maybe 5-6 ft. Maybe a little flatter then most but pretty common. But what really stuck out and could be a very important point is that on your downswing they stay/rotate flat until your hands are about thigh level. My thinking is by keeping your shoulders flatter a little longer it does three things. It helps you hit from the inside, it flattens out your swing bottom and it slows down your hips. I Hope I explained what I noticed and I’m curious if this make any sense. Thanks for your videos I start every day with the newest one and a cup of coffee. JS
Hi. That is the definition of a two plan swing. The difference between shoulder plane and swing plane. You are correct and I don't "keep" them from moving but I have learned to start with a downswing without to much shoulder movement. Enjoy your coffee 😁
Thanks Marcus still having trouble with the draw my result tends to be a low hook but I know it works ,just getting the right arm swing and shoulder turn between driver and iron appears to be the key ,it’s great to get rid of the slice loving your videos from New Zealand
@@garrymajor7528 We need a extension in the lead wrist to make it right. in this video I call it a scoop: th-cam.com/video/hXpX-yPJJOU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=X-KfoijMTnAh8K-h
David, work with separating the arm and the wrist. Learn to control the wrist release separate from the arm. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/MeDH_wAl59g/w-d-xo.htmlsi=lhUrepF3yJUbq7Xb
This is interesting and something I battle. To do this I have to feel my rear shoulder does not move at all until my arms are down. On the golf course that is a battle because I want to see where the ball is going so fast. haha. Trying to break that habit. That looking up frees my shoulders to rotate to quickly. On the backswing however I have to rotate right away or I sway. Weird. I will be on Skillest soon. I know you can help.
would you consider doing a video on YOUR follow thru and why your club goes more vertically down your back and not more horizontally across the back of your head like some other pros? Just wondering what in the swing would make such 2 different follow-thrus. I want my club to go vertically down my back, more like yours, as it is less strain on my back. But my club always goes across the back of my head on the end of the follow thru and I want to change that. IF I understand why, it would help me change it. Thanks so much.
I figured out why....you come from the inside more than I do on the forward swing. Before I was swinging my club around too much to the left on the forward swing ( being a right-hander), and the club shaft would horizontally dissect the back of my head. As soon as I started swinging more from the inside, my club finished more vertically. It's great, because that gives me feedback if I came in from the inside enough. Not to mention the ball path has a nice draw.
Hi Marcus. I'm going to the practice range today and intend to try practice your tips for your inside out swing . My son has given me an alignment stick to swing with my irons as I have a problem with flipping my hands instead of releasing properly. Would that work with your swing ?
Hi Pete. If you put the stick 4 inches behind the ball you will be forced to go over the stick in to the ball and that works as a drill. The flip is never the problem but if we do the flip to early it becomes a problem. The stick will force you to delay the flip.
Good day to you Marcus.. is truly the perfect “ timing “ for this video 😅 I just played 18 yesterday. And this is exactly what my friend said I was doing after the round. He said as you are starting down your shoulders were open up towards the target to soon. I was smother hooking the ball for most of the round. No slices just hooks. As a fix, should I feel the arms and hands and club more out in front and just allow the shoulders to react then?? Thank you as always for your channel 🙏🏼👊🏻
We need to find and give your down swing time to bring the club further down before you start rotation. Probably like you write, let the rotation follow your club. That will help you to go more out through the ball and find that high finish that will eliminate the hook. Try to feel that the club head goes under your hands in to the ball and over your hands out of the ball.
Hello Marcus , your the Bomb , thank you for the extraordinary non-orthodox approach to the swing. After different coaches your approach has Simplified many things. Question: Does the amount of swinging in to out change for different length of clubs or does every club swing to first base . KD
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I’m honored that you responded. I’ve been listening and overdosing on your approach to everything and telling my golf buddies. I live in Orlando Fl. I’ve
I guess it took a hockey player to figure out the parallel similarities and how to apply it. I’m sure your followers are blowing up you u-tube channel. God bless you , you deserve it. 👍🏻👍🏻😎
Hi Marcus, am I correct in assuming, then, that with an In-to-Out Swing Path like yours (5 to 10 degrees), your ideal Club Face is open at impact? If the rotation takes over properly, you come around and the ball starts left (in your case) and then turns right with a Draw? Is that the ideal pattern i.e. In-to-Out Club Path, but open Club Face? Thanks and keep the great videos coming!!
Love your simple approach Marcus. I am curious however that it seems you advocate to take the hands inside on the takeaway? Also, isn’t a 7+ in to out path excessive? I was under the impression most pros are +/-2 or thereabouts. I find when I start swinging too far from the inside my hands trail behind me and I hit pushes and hooks. Thank you for the great content!
I don't think many of my viewers are on the tour but yes it can be too much according to some and for Bubba Watson it's too little. We need to get a good path in but we also need to control the face and that is what's causing the push and hook not the path. Watch this video with a hook and scoop theme: th-cam.com/video/wi3xyG-OQNQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=b_X1qldgaHPoQD0h
Thanks. Good video as usual. You will see my swing on skillest soon. Now to my question. I have the feeling to your shoulder set-up is different when you do your normal swing and try to play a fate. Can you explain how to load the shoulders for a draw vs a fate. Pete Cowen is talking about that, but never explains how to actually do it. He just says, that loading shoulders is not taught these days. A related question, which is probably better suited for a psychologist. When I do simulator training my swing path is inside-out on the range like 95%. Then I play simulator golf on the course and I am back to outside in. Not even on the simulator I can keep inside out from range to course 😞 wtf!
Maybe I will do a difference between fade and draw in the future, maybe. The other problem is normal. If you want to be inside five degrees playing golf you need to be more than ten degrees inside in practice. That's what I see with my students, we tense up on the course and we loose timing and path.
Hi. I’ve been trying really hard to play with tee hight 3” I was hitting it far to high then I dropped the tee to 2. 1/2 inches now Im getting shots more like you “ Is this okay in your eyes. Cheers
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you. Just let you know I went and played in a xmas hamper today using your swing off a 10 handicap the course was a 73 parr. I shot 3 over parr (76x10=76 nett )43 stableford I won the best nett in the seniors divisions Thanks to you and your swing. Never missed a drive all day average distance was 250 metres and I’m 73 years old. So al you golf buddies out there if you use this swing you have to stick with it it takes time but wow you won’t be disappointed This is one happy golfer Trevor Jones
I'm new to your channel and I have a question. You may have covered this before but ....here goes. Right before you start your back swing, it looks like you actually _stand up_ straight then go on through the swing. What is that 'standing up straight' part? Thanks for your ongoing tips.
I'm afraid that I think your methods apply to those who have your strength in arms and shoulders. My attempt to follow your method as a very elderly person has resulted in my maximum driving distance has gone from just 200 yards to less than 170. I am hitting it straight or with draw, never with a slice. You hit the ball 400 yards, its a very different world.
There will always be some strength needed and if we lack strength in the parts we need to use it's not the best for that golfer. How the timing is working is the same for all golfers but of course, we need a functional engine and gearbox to make the car go forward.
Looking at your mat, the wear pattern on your side is inside to out. But the wear pattern on the other side I guess of your students is a blob of many attack angles. I guess you don't have many leftie students? You are in a lucky position to have that facility to feed your habit.

Happy to help Good job. 👍
4:27 is the key, can't try to hit too hard or too early before this spot. Great advice, and if not done right will plague you for years.
When your body fully understands the circle you can start from the top with full power. 👍
Another great video. I could swear your talking directly to me, and you have not seen my seing yet, but soon. Thank you

Love to hear it. Your progress is my fuel. 😊
Is there sometime you can do a video on what your club face looks like when you’re coming into the ball
