Marcus it’s very nice of you to respond to the doubters (“he’s arms only”). I lost 2 years trying the body swing methods and played the worst golf of my life while wrecking my lower back. I returned to feeling the swing with my arms/hands while focusing on the target and playing much better. I used your circle of speed analogy and early release to hit absolute bombs yesterday. Please keep up your teachings. Thanks!
You are probably the 50th that talk about wasting time with the "Body Swing". I need to find out what that is. I'm glad you found my videos and you find them valuable. Let's keep getting better together. 👍
The instructors teaching body swing want you to NEED to come to them in Las Vegas or Florida or California and pay them to add arms and hands to aquire speed. They do not share comprehensive helpful information. Thanks for your honest direct help Marcus especially regarding the role of hands/release Friends if you are struggling with lack of speed.....learn to release and do it EARLIER Tinker with it until you have it in exactly the right spot in overdrive. Then you can actually hit it anywhere you want as Marcus does It us not easy, but when you get it you will beat your friends and never suck again I wish I had this information 2 decades earlier
I think the number one reason people that are new to golf quit so quickly. Is due to lessons that are to complicated and don't work. You simplify things so much that it makes it easier for people to understand. I am 55 years old and never had a lesson but typically shoot in the low 80s on a good day and high 80s on a bad day. Until I started watching you Marcus I never really fully understood the swing, now I do, thanks.
As a lefty with a high handicap who has had too much advice, your channel has been a breath of fresh air. I stumbled across your channel two weeks ago, and everything just made sense, so I went straight to the driving range and just hit a few balls. Some sliced, quite a few hooked but a lot more went straight with more distance. After a couple more weeks today, I hit a few draws and a lot of straight balls, but it felt pure and for the first time in a long while I was totally relaxed about my golf swing. It's going to take a lot of practice but at least I can see a way forward now.
@@MelissaPotulski It's mostly a mindset that allows me/you to start using more of your arms and hands. This could be a good start: th-cam.com/video/JYJrkN991ac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=HW-qkpfFMZr7DO8M
Hey Marcus… greetings from Utah my man. So I’m 54 years old and pretty athletic still.Im a basketball player but I’ve been golfing now for 3 years and I’ve had lessons once, watched a ton of you tube videos and for some reason I could not hit a draw with any club to save my life brotha! I don’t usually comment on videos but I had to tel you thank you brotha! For some reason I stumbled on to you when I wasn’t even looking for golf videos anymore and just excepted my fading over the top fate . Let me tell you, you teach in a way like no one I’ve ever heard or seen before. I told myself that I was gonna give you a shot, after just committing to what you say for a month, I’m hitting draws for the first time ever bro and my ball striking plus distance has improved a hundred fold.. I can’t believe it sometimes lol… the lead arm slow and trail arm fast video changed it all for me and just learning to let the trail arm dominate and push instead of lead arm pulling was an absolute game changer. I know it’s just a game but you’ve changed my love for golf to another level… sorry for the long comment but thank you again brotha and keep doing what you’re doing! God bless. Hands down you’re the best teacher on You tube! Believe me I’ve watched them all😂
Thank you for trusting and trying my tips. I know I don't explain things in the conventional way but I also know it works great. My brotha it will only get better from her. Keep going and thank you for sharing your success. 👍
The circle of speed unlocks everything if you let. I say it because you have transformed my game. Your description of pushing down on the irons made sense and now I'm hitting it more consistent and solid. I move my stance with my 3 wood ,teed it up about a half and inch and again success. Thankfully I understand you. You communicate simply and clearly. Please continue for as long as you can!!!
I watched the closing stages of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth yesterday and I was struck by just how fast the hands and arms of players like Tyrell Hatton were…they really whipped through the ball while their bodies were only rotating gently…Marcus knows!
I have been playing golf for 30 years. With many, many pro lessons I have not managed to hit over 240 yards with the driver. With the few videos I have seen here on your channel, it is easily possible to drive +300 yards. It's a shame why there are so many bad golf pros out there. A big thank you for all of your effort in this Channel. By far the best explanation on youtube of how golf works. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for sharing your progress. I'm both an engineer and a PGA pro. I let both professions analyze everything and the engineer always have the last word. Let's keep going together. 👍
Thanks for your videos. You are like fresh air, one real instructor and not a salesman, with "links in the description below". Short videos, right on point, perfect and simple. I just increased my 7i distance by 15ft just by learning from you. Please keep up the good work
I am 59 and I come actually from 30 years of bow shooting and a couple of years boxing. I am only playing golf for 10 months but this actually works, won some 10/20 yards and still improving my rhythm and timing, thank you.
Have lost distance the last couple years not playing much since our first, now second, child were born. I played a rotation with a little wrist release, I dropped probably 50 yards on driver 20-30 on irons, tried this out today, only getting arm feel with nominal rotation and medium wrist. Instantly gained 25-30 on driver and 15-20 on irons. With a couple trips to the range a week I am confident I will be getting more distance than ever. Absolutely the easiest way to develop speed. Thank you MEGolf!
What Marcus shares does work. You have to understand that the brain will do what we perceive and we need to often just change our mental approach. The body will figure it out based on what the goal of the brain is. I started watching Marcus' videos about 3 weeks ago and I now hit draws with all clubs. My drives are farther than they have ever been, and I am reaching greens in regulation. It isn't perfect, but a work in progress. Now I have a mental approach to hitting a golf ball and it has freed me up! Thanks Marcus!
I even hit a tee box marker a bit the other day! I line up sometimes just in front of it and I was releasing the club so early with driver, I clipped it as I swung! Shot went okay despite having some resistance along the way! I am so used to swinging "level" or straight. It was a good training tool! Haha! @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
Hi Marcus, your videos are a breath of fresh air. For the last 5 years I have watched lots of TH-cam videos giving conflicting advice about body rotation. After following your advice, I am now swinging freely with much more accuracy and distance and really starting to enjoy playing well. Thank you Marcus, keep up the great work. Cheers Chris (New Zealand)
Found your channel recently and went yesterday on driving range. Finally, after 25 years of hit and miss shots , I was able to hit shot after shot with proper compression, "pure". Even toe shots were going decently with immediate feedback of slight mishit. You were 100 percent right when you said that slow motions or positions are misleading and your explanations of golf swing needed for a draw are simple and excellent. I watched Mike Malaska, Milo Lines and Henry, Danny Maude, Pete Cowen and others so maybe I was getting close but your explanations gave me little missing pieces which help me put it together. Thank you!
I’ve enjoyed your videos and I’ve changed my swing. I was releasing too late and trying to compensate with more rotation. This was a result of being coached to ignore my natural idea of how to connect with the ball and simply send it. Most instructors I’ve dealt with are not aware of how to really teach and they bypass an actual evaluation of the individuality or uniqueness each golfer has in their approach in favor of a one size fits all. Thank you for taking the time to explain the one thing that I’ve been missing.
Tried your cupped wrist idea. I'm 64 and have a hard time hitting the ball more than 235 off the tee. When I was younger, the hit the ball over 300 all the time but I've had back surgery this year and can't hit the ball out of my shadow any more. I hit a few half buckets this week and played on Sunday. My first par 5, the drive was 302. Then I hit a 5 iron to the green from 205. My 3 woods were 250ish. The drives were all over 270!! This is something real and fundamental. Thanks- I always knew I needed more hand action but never could figure out how. Your video explained it wonderfully. I get it now!
Why no other coach in youtube explain about circle / swing path as clear as you do, but im lucky to found out your channel. I will train in driving range with new thought and hopefully can improve my golfswing Thanks a lot
So I work at a driving range part time I get to go hit a lot of balls for free I just implemented what you said focus more on scooping and turning at the same time what a difference can’t wait to go play again
Great advice Marcus. I really like your advice in your early videos of saying it's not easy and you have to practice lots. I'm just spending time practicing the in/out and up. Speed will come later when I have this grooved in. 👍
Another excellent video, Marcus. I quite agree that body, arms and hands all play a role. But the problem I’ve had in the past is the varied advice on what “initiates” the downswing - arms/hands or body. Many say it should be the lower body. But I started doing much better when picked my hands as being the trigger which initiates the downswing. I then let my body jump in to automatically play its role in supplying the power. I think this is in keeping with your messages. Thanks.
@1DCCX Excellent explanation. Thanks for this detail. I think what also confuses everyone is referencing the infamous Ben Hogan video where he explains what starts the downswing - the hips as he states. Contrast that with Mike Bender who says the hands initiate the downswing.
Thanks Marcus for keeping it simple. Of all the instructions I get on TH-cam, yours is the simplest and make the most sense. BTW, your first gear demo where you said it goes straight and about 40 yards, is what I use for 20 yards or less. 😀
Thank you. I try to bring some sense into the weird world of golf. First gear is a long putt or a chip shot. I don't use that for chipping but I could work very well. 👍
It's not a piece of cake to adapt everything but as I can feel a slow development towards the in-out-swing I will continue until it's the natural swing for me. To my excuse the limitation is my range ball account as I'm not able to have a studio of my own and can't afford 1000 range balls a week ;). Anyhow, during my personal exercise of those moments I found my 'gears' a bit better after a while watching all the swings you perform in the clips. There´s, I've noticed, a short moment just as your downswing starts an initial 'load and ignition' the get the power down for arms, hands and moderate rotation. Just as you take a small breath before unloading all and when I introduced this in my practice I got more speed as well. The initial 'let's hit it now' thought before get things going and the more you've practiced to get the path and ball hit good enough the lesser I tend to think of those as seperate moments and instead ONE swing and at the top think 'NOW I start the power engine to get all power out and hit that little fellow so it hurts. Add this as it made something in my thinking process and it might be so natural to you and others to think like that. But there might be others like me that didn't really released the full power just before the downswing start. Really enjoying to develop in the way all your clips guide me to. Started gold at 50 and it might be that now, at 68, I really understand what my swing actually is and perform :)
I sometimes would like to start over and experience all the things you are and will do. You are correct about the time effort part but it is worth it. 💪
After 'trying' to play golf for 3 years, with a lot of body mechanics and checkpoints in my head, i went play a round of golf today, tried to apply your basic teachings, like trail hand passes lead hand=release time , pushing the club instead of pulling, circle of speed. In the first 2 holes(Par4) I couldn't feel that i was pushing the club, on the third hole(par4) i went baseball grip for the 1st time ever (always used interlocked grip), that was when i really started to feel that i was pushing the club with my trail hand, and i can tell you, i will not going back to interlock grip ever again. Don't ask me how i decided to try baseball grip, it was kind of instinct i guess. It feels my wrists are free now. Even a friend of mine who doesn't have issue with slice tried the baseball grip and he was adding 30 yards to his shots, and ask me for your channel, which i already share with him. Loads of good shots today, had few pulls, that i was not even angry at them as my slice gone. I know that i have loads of work to do in my game, as i have many bad habits from trying to fix the slice before, but i am going to do that on the driving range. For the people who say your teachings are not working, or is bad information, just ignored them please, they are not ready to be enlightened 💡 Thanks a lot for all the content you share in your channel, for me it's like gold 🙏
Thank you for sharing your progress with us. You will be able to use any grip later in the future when the motion through the ball is fully natural. Great job. 👍
To you point Marcus:.............. a TREBUCHET = strong base does not move............... BUT the LEVERS are what LAUNCH the item incredibly far and the end of the chain is where all the speed that was accumulated is now converted to kinetic energy ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. 🙏🙏🙏 nice here in southern Ontario Canada as well weather wise 🌞🌞🌞
As a Maritime Canadian, Yes, winter is too long, considering the golf season. Gives us time to forget our bad habits, and employ the MARCUS PLAN ! Luckily, we have the best beer on the planet. Jonn Canada@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
I was amazed how easy this was to induce in my driver I gained thirty yards of the tee I was averaging 220 yards now 250 with less effort thanks I think if those that watch and practice the results are there thank you
Hi Marcus, I am new to your channel and I am really enjoying what I see and hear. Compliments on all areas. I have however one problem and that is I do not know where to begin to transform my game to your method. What comes first? I am 79 and want to try something new while I can. Any tips you could give as to thefollow order would help immensely. Thank you
Hi. I would start with teaching your hands to feel and move the club in control. Start with the series about the hands and go from there. Start here: th-cam.com/video/JYJrkN991ac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AvXPAGrTR45PBY0l
Marcus ,Your Ball striking is Proof in the Pudding for Me !!!Baseball swing is with the arms for Power ,old Ball player Here whom hit Plenty of Balls over the Fence ,4 Home Runs in an Row one night ,wasn’t my Body Swinging .Agree on Speed vs Muscle!
Marcus, I understand 1 hand, the lead hand, slow and 1 hand fast, the trail hand. Terminology is a strange thing. One person understands it one way, and another person a different way. Could show a video of this slow/fast hand. Maybe, stopping, or going extremely slow. Along with some commentary. I’m hitting the ball much better thanks to you. Thanks a million times over.
Great video! Marcus, I used your swing yesterday and shot a 79 with a triple bogey. Had the ball way back in my stance and that made swinging from the inside so much easer. That's the first time back in the 70's in over 2 years for me and the first time I used the same swing throughout an entire round. After watching this video, I think I'm only using the first two gears. It feels like there's no time to use the wrists. Am I extending my arm (2nd gear) too fast or maybe too late? Thank you for your instruction. You have revived my golf!
Love to hear it. Learning golf is like an adventure and you just started your journey. Experiment a little with how you think and you will find the correct balance between arm and wrist. Good job. 👍
Dear Marcus, is it possible to make a video focusing on isolating the trail arm and hand mechanism? i ve been working on the pushing trail side motion and it seems i cant hit it to bell buckle direction; it seems to always hit toward the target and yet chunking 85% of shots. i am at my wit's end. I am hopeful that you can make one to make the trail arm a smart one as well. Thank YOU.
That might happen. Regarding your issues we need to change the goal of the motion. Start with your chunking. Get that landing spot with the club moved forward, extend your trail arm to a point further forward. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/6nTk2W-AbIw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fb8_IWm0HraVllhA When you manage to move your impact, start pushing more and more out until you get a steady path from the inside. When both work you can start doing it faster and faster. Keep going.
I found your guidance videos from golf test dummy videos .I’ve been doing Jim veneteos swing for couple years. I have had success but feels unnatural to left handed for me. I struggle with my right arm dominance wanting to take over getting to steep. Watching you I thought maybe be right arm dominant and that just might allow me to stay on the inside by understanding the path easier by allowing my dominant arm to give me speed and control. In video you say your right handed but your faster left handed. Are you ambidextrous? I can’t understand how I could be faster with my least dominant hand. How can the least dominant arm be faster than the powerful arm? Is that a feeling from less tension? Excited to get to the range. Thanks
Hi. I am very right handed and have been tested by two universities in Sweden. I am stronger from the right but I am faster from the left. To get speed in golf we need to control the speed in both hands. We need the trail hand to be a lot faster than the lead hand to get what we want. Golf is not all about strength, it's mostly about speed with a very light object. Playing ping pong or tennis my back hand is faster and therefore more powerful. Same in baseball. 👍 Watch this about speed: th-cam.com/video/kLi1x-8chHQ/w-d-xo.htmlsi=IzquHGs43vYxauph Drills: th-cam.com/video/D-Qn4XaGf2c/w-d-xo.htmlsi=oMhwbT0FS7b2dpOI
Hi Marcus. After watching some of your key videos over and over, I finally have a follow through that looks like yours. So i guess my clubpath/direction of energy is getting close. At the top i just think of extensing my trail elbow in the direction that will make the club trace the path i want. And then basically controlly where i want the “scoop” to happen (for me: after the ball and downward from wedge to 8i, mostly at the ball and more along the ground from 7i, and a foot before the ball with driver). Still need to be careful and make the scoop be a real scoop and not a rolling of the wrists! Getting decent results. I get 5-10 more yards on irons but with a much higher ball flight! as some other people requested, could you also do a video where you hit long irons (4 or 5i)? Thanks for all the great content. Is scooping part of your swing thoughts for all your swings?
Also i can hit beautiful draw shots off my mat but not off the ground. Im hitting the ground way to early. I dont understand what the difference could be. On the mat i hit ball first( i use chalk to see) any ball position on ground i ether hit ground first or the ball goes straight but 20 yards right off target. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Your the only golf channel i watch now. 😁
That's hard to do without knowing your thoughts. In a lesson I would make a mark low on the face of the club with open and tell you to find a lower part of the face. The sweat spot is probably on the third grow on the club.
Great explanation, 1 thing that is still bugging me: the moment I use the hands (by scooping, after the impact with downwards swing with irons and letting go of all the gears), everything stops (body, arms). It is also logical, just as in throwing: the moment the hands have done their duty in the kinetic chain the body, arms stop. Thats causing my swing to stop halfway, instead of arms up and hands behind the back in the end-phase as I see you clearly doing (and other pro's :))? Having used my hands and then still using my arms to go up in the endphase is just impossible. Or are the arms going up by momentum of the club? or ...? Can I also take a Zoom lesson? to talk things through? Have a nice day, greetz
Hi Vincent. The push of the trail hand is not finished at impact. Keep going past impact and there will be no stop. Push all the way until you get your trail hand over your lead shoulder.
I'm teeing the ball way up high. I'm hanging back on my right side. I'm trying to release the club early. I'm trying to make the low point 2 ft behind the ball... where I release. I'm trying to make my right hand move faster than my left as I move through the ball. After doing all that I'm hitting it 260 instead of 225!.. and not as high because I don't have 6,000 backspin anymore
Hi John. I need a lot more information to have any chance to tell you what's going on. When we start a new activity anything can happen. Find a good physio therapist that can find any unbalance that can have developed when you started golfing. Good luck.
I have a question Marcus, some teachers show the split hand drill, is the feeling of your trail hand overtaking the lead hand, whereby one hand slows and one hand speeds up the feeling i should have been getting with the split hand drill, if you get my gist. because i never realised that was supposed to be the aim of the drill in the first place.
Absolutely. Split grip feelings are tough to bring in to your normal grip but it's possible. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/W8Fbwdz1w2w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rMh-aHWWx9kioz7X
I have never understood the hitting of the ball, most instructors tell you to swing like there’s no ball there, I hit the ball. what are your thoughts.
Thank you so much. This is my first year and ive really been practicing a lot. Finally hit under 90 i used to watch several channels but since i found yours they are all fired. 😂 doing my best to pass on your channel. We need to get you a million subs.
Been watching lots of your videos and been using trackman and my ball speed and distances has increased significantly. This is solely by having the thought of the right hand moving faster than the left. Obviously it will take a lot of practice to get this right... however i have lost accuracy and i am pulling a lot more shots. Any advice on why this might be the case? Does it sound like i am releasing too early with the hooky shots? Can i ask what you feel with the right palm at impact and just after? Is it facing the target?
Nice to hear about your progress. A straight pull is a swing path problem. Feel that you exaggerate the out part through the ball. It will keep you club face slightly open and will make the club go more up after impact instead of around you like a hook does. My feeling is open, never closed. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you for the quick reply and thank you for this reality of effortless speed!! I will work on a more out feeling at impact and see if that will help with those odd pulls. Keep those videos coming!
@@Stantheman848 I struggle with that from time to time too. And Ive noticed it to be more of a problem on the course if I get nervous, or doubting myself after a few bad shots, feeling performance anxiety or whatever. And the answer is always that Im not allowing my self to exaggerate the out feeling just like Marcus says. It really is a mind game and hard to trust to be right when in doubt. If you're determined in your swing you can go as hard as you like out and up and it still wont go 45 degrees out as you might feel.
With the slow lead hand, does it feel like your putting the breaks on it at impact? Or pressure backward a little to slow it down? Like when you bend the shaft against the mat?
I only feel that when I do it really slow. In somewhat normal speed I only feel that the trail hand passes the lead hand. It's the same motion but standing still builds tension in places that are in motion during the swing so it feels different.
Sorry, no injury in 23 years. I rarely hear anything about pain. When we use are arms, wrist and fingers they gradually get stronger and don't seam to have any problems handling the golf shots. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Many thanks for your prompt reply. I only ask because I have been playing for many years but about 15 years ago I had to start swinging with my left arm giving power alone - as I had developed tennis elbow by trying to use my right hand and arm too much in the swing. I shall certainly be giving your method a go as the results you demonstrate are quite amazing.
Är fyllda 40 och har precis tagit grönt kort. Har du någon bra video där du förklarar det här med att använda handlederna? Du la ut en video för 1 mån sedan som heter ”börja med ett drag och sen ska vi uppåt” där du pratade om att det inte behövs en vridning. Jag behöver en tydligare förklaring på detta 😁
Transitioning from an automatic to a standard is a struggle for many. Take time to learn and you will enjoy the results. I do think that hitting 165 yards with a PW is speeding and not what that club was designed for, but fun anyway. If I could hit that distance with a wedge, I could drop several clubs and buy a more expensive car.🥴🇨🇦👍👨🦳
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad A funny comment but made me thinking. Relatively speaking I'm hitting my shorter irons way longer than med longer irons, that by no means is short. Just relatively shorter. I find myself having it much easier really throwing the club under up and out when standing closer to the ball with shorter clubs. When the shaft gets longer, you have to stand further away and the swing circle gets less upright (flat), right? And if the swing circle is flat(ter), thinking it as a hoolahoop (rockring) on a tilt, a under out and up throw/push is in more conflict with a more tilted, flatter swing circle and therefore I easily chicken out with pully motion with the lead arm saying, "hey where not going that way". Not sure you understand what I mean, and maybe I'm actually standing to far from the ball with longer irons making the swing automatically too flat. Cheers
@@jonnyfredriksson447 I understand. The longer the club the harder it gets to keep the up picture in your mind but a longer club needs that to. This is why it's easy to start doing this with a shorter club but it's gets harder the longer the club gets. Try to think more up than around with ALL CLUBS. It is possible. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Cheers, that's exactly what I mean and also what I came up with to be the answer. Great to get it confirmed. "up picture" is the key word here. Thanks!
I wonder if the people who criticize can hit a 350-yard drive with their theory of their critics as you can do time and time again easily. If they don't get value from your teaching just move on because there's the reason why you can hit it 350 yards with a driver and they can't and it's because they don't have a clue what they are doing. Who's gonna listen to them? Only a fool. l played one time with a couple and the husband keeps trying to teach/show his wife how to swing even though her swing is way better than his and she can hit the ball and he can hardly get ball flight.
In Sweden I no longer need to prove anything after all the years of competitions but it's always easier to criticize than look in the mirror and say I was wrong. Wait until I'm 60 and still hit it 350, there will be some interesting comments then. I will bug you all until we all hit it longer. 💪
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad 🤣🤣👏👏l know you will be hitting 350 @ 60 that's for dang sure! Keep up the great work l like the theory and l am working on it. Thank you for the tips l have been watching your channel religiously because it help me understand why l struggle with other struggle l have with my swings. Thank you and will continue watching.

Thanks for your honest direct help Marcus especially regarding the role of hands/release
Friends if you are struggling with lack of speed.....learn to release and do it EARLIER
Tinker with it until you have it in exactly the right spot in overdrive. Then you can actually hit it anywhere you want as Marcus does
It us not easy, but when you get it you will beat your friends and never suck again

I think the number one reason people that are new to golf quit so quickly. Is due to lessons that are to complicated and don't work. You simplify things so much that it makes it easier for people to understand. I am 55 years old and never had a lesson but typically shoot in the low 80s on a good day and high 80s on a bad day. Until I started watching you Marcus I never really fully understood the swing, now I do, thanks.

As a lefty with a high handicap who has had too much advice, your channel has been a breath of fresh air. I stumbled across your channel two weeks ago, and everything just made sense, so I went straight to the driving range and just hit a few balls. Some sliced, quite a few hooked but a lot more went straight with more distance. After a couple more weeks today, I hit a few draws and a lot of straight balls, but it felt pure and for the first time in a long while I was totally relaxed about my golf swing. It's going to take a lot of practice but at least I can see a way forward now.
Any change is tough and take some time but please, keep going. You journey just began. I'm just happy to a part af it. 👍

Hey Marcus… greetings from Utah my man. So I’m 54 years old and pretty athletic still.Im a basketball player but I’ve been golfing now for 3 years and I’ve had lessons once, watched a ton of you tube videos and for some reason I could not hit a draw with any club to save my life brotha!
I don’t usually comment on videos but I had to tel you thank you brotha! For some reason I stumbled on to you when I wasn’t even looking for golf videos anymore and just excepted my fading over the top fate . Let me tell you, you teach in a way like no one I’ve ever heard or seen before. I told myself that I was gonna give you a shot, after just committing to what you say for a month, I’m hitting draws for the first time ever bro and my ball striking plus distance has improved a hundred fold.. I can’t believe it sometimes lol… the lead arm slow and trail arm fast video changed it all for me and just learning to let the trail arm dominate and push instead of lead arm pulling was an absolute game changer. I know it’s just a game but you’ve changed my love for golf to another level… sorry for the long comment but thank you again brotha and keep doing what you’re doing! God bless. Hands down you’re the best teacher on You tube! Believe me I’ve watched them all😂
Thank you for trusting and trying my tips. I know I don't explain things in the conventional way but I also know it works great. My brotha it will only get better from her. Keep going and thank you for sharing your success. 👍
The circle of speed unlocks everything if you let. I say it because you have transformed my game. Your description of pushing down on the irons made sense and now I'm hitting it more consistent and solid. I move my stance with my 3 wood ,teed it up about a half and inch and again success. Thankfully I understand you. You communicate simply and clearly. Please continue for as long as you can!!!
Thanks for sharing your progress. Let's keep going together. 👍
I watched the closing stages of the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth yesterday and I was struck by just how fast the hands and arms of players like Tyrell Hatton were…they really whipped through the ball while their bodies were only rotating gently…Marcus knows!
Hi Doug. this is nothing new for the good players, they know but rarely and sadly seldom talk about it. 👍
I have been playing golf for 30 years. With many, many pro lessons I have not managed to hit over 240 yards with the driver.
With the few videos I have seen here on your channel, it is easily possible to drive +300 yards. It's a shame why there are so many bad golf pros out there.
A big thank you for all of your effort in this Channel. By far the best explanation on youtube of how golf works. Greetings from Germany.
Thanks for sharing your progress. I'm both an engineer and a PGA pro. I let both professions analyze everything and the engineer always have the last word.
Let's keep going together. 👍
Thanks for your videos. You are like fresh air, one real instructor and not a salesman, with "links in the description below". Short videos, right on point, perfect and simple. I just increased my 7i distance by 15ft just by learning from you. Please keep up the good work
You are so welcome! Your progress is my fuel to keep going. 👍
I am 59 and I come actually from 30 years of bow shooting and a couple of years boxing. I am only playing golf for 10 months but this actually works, won some 10/20 yards and still improving my rhythm and timing, thank you.
I'm not surprised that it works. 😁
Have lost distance the last couple years not playing much since our first, now second, child were born. I played a rotation with a little wrist release, I dropped probably 50 yards on driver 20-30 on irons, tried this out today, only getting arm feel with nominal rotation and medium wrist. Instantly gained 25-30 on driver and 15-20 on irons. With a couple trips to the range a week I am confident I will be getting more distance than ever. Absolutely the easiest way to develop speed. Thank you MEGolf!
Thank you for finding and trying my instruction. Keep going and you will hit it longer and straighter than ever. 👍
Body, arm, wrist. Excellent instruction! And a beautiful afternoon in Sweden.
Glad you liked it! 👍
What Marcus shares does work. You have to understand that the brain will do what we perceive and we need to often just change our mental approach. The body will figure it out based on what the goal of the brain is. I started watching Marcus' videos about 3 weeks ago and I now hit draws with all clubs. My drives are farther than they have ever been, and I am reaching greens in regulation. It isn't perfect, but a work in progress. Now I have a mental approach to hitting a golf ball and it has freed me up! Thanks Marcus!
Thank you so much for sharing your success with us. Your progress is my fuel to keep going. Great job. 👍
I even hit a tee box marker a bit the other day! I line up sometimes just in front of it and I was releasing the club so early with driver, I clipped it as I swung! Shot went okay despite having some resistance along the way! I am so used to swinging "level" or straight. It was a good training tool! Haha!
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
@@neckupfitness3274 Crazy but really good job. 😱
Hi Marcus, your videos are a breath of fresh air. For the last 5 years I have watched lots of TH-cam videos giving conflicting advice about body rotation. After following your advice, I am now swinging freely with much more accuracy and distance and really starting to enjoy playing well. Thank you Marcus, keep up the great work.
Cheers Chris (New Zealand)
Nice to hear Chris. I will keep going as long as you all keep watching. Cheers. 👍
Found your channel recently and went yesterday on driving range. Finally, after 25 years of hit and miss shots , I was able to hit shot after shot with proper compression, "pure". Even toe shots were going decently with immediate feedback of slight mishit.
You were 100 percent right when you said that slow motions or positions are misleading and your explanations of golf swing needed for a draw are simple and excellent.
I watched Mike Malaska, Milo Lines and Henry, Danny Maude, Pete Cowen and others so maybe I was getting close but your explanations gave me little missing pieces which help me put it together.
Thank you!
Welcome and thank you for sharing your experience. Your progress is my fuel to continue. Keep going. 👍
I’ve enjoyed your videos and I’ve changed my swing. I was releasing too late and trying to compensate with more rotation. This was a result of being coached to ignore my natural idea of how to connect with the ball and simply send it. Most instructors I’ve dealt with are not aware of how to really teach and they bypass an actual evaluation of the individuality or uniqueness each golfer has in their approach in favor of a one size fits all. Thank you for taking the time to explain the one thing that I’ve been missing.
Thanks for sharing your success. I'm really glad I could help. Your progress is my motivation.
Tried your cupped wrist idea. I'm 64 and have a hard time hitting the ball more than 235 off the tee. When I was younger, the hit the ball over 300 all the time but I've had back surgery this year and can't hit the ball out of my shadow any more. I hit a few half buckets this week and played on Sunday. My first par 5, the drive was 302. Then I hit a 5 iron to the green from 205. My 3 woods were 250ish. The drives were all over 270!! This is something real and fundamental. Thanks- I always knew I needed more hand action but never could figure out how. Your video explained it wonderfully. I get it now!
Love to hear it. Thank you for sharing your progress with us. 👍
Why no other coach in youtube explain about circle / swing path as clear as you do, but im lucky to found out your channel.
I will train in driving range with new thought and hopefully can improve my golfswing
Thanks a lot
Welcome aboard. I don't think that what I teach is really that different but how I explain it is different. 👍
Thanks Marcus. It makes more sense to me with the gear box analogy. Many thanks Gary
The "gear box" thinking is my key to distance. We use it in many other sports. 👍
Thanks!
Thank you for the support. 🙏
So I work at a driving range part time I get to go hit a lot of balls for free I just implemented what you said focus more on scooping and turning at the same time what a difference can’t wait to go play again
Nice John. I know this works and now your body knows it too. 👍
What a wonderful and interesting golf learning experience. Thank you and please stay on TH-cam
Thank you, I will. Keep watching and I will keep posting videos. 👍
Hi Marcus, good one.
Glad you like it. 😊
Excellent lesson. I've always thought this, but so many would say to otherwise.
Thanks. If you try it you will find something that works. 👍
Great advice Marcus. I really like your advice in your early videos of saying it's not easy and you have to practice lots. I'm just spending time practicing the in/out and up. Speed will come later when I have this grooved in. 👍
That's a good plan. Let's keep getting better together. 💪
Another excellent video, Marcus. I quite agree that body, arms and hands all play a role. But the problem I’ve had in the past is the varied advice on what “initiates” the downswing - arms/hands or body. Many say it should be the lower body. But I started doing much better when picked my hands as being the trigger which initiates the downswing. I then let my body jump in to automatically play its role in supplying the power. I think this is in keeping with your messages. Thanks.
Good stuff! Keep your hand trigger, your body will always be involved in the swing. Keep going. 👍
@1DCCX Excellent explanation. Thanks for this detail. I think what also confuses everyone is referencing the infamous Ben Hogan video where he explains what starts the downswing - the hips as he states. Contrast that with Mike Bender who says the hands initiate the downswing.
@1DCCX Absolutely amazing reply 👌
Excellent explanation as always! thanks for this detailed video
Glad you enjoyed it!👍
Thanks Marcus for keeping it simple. Of all the instructions I get on TH-cam, yours is the simplest and make the most sense. BTW, your first gear demo where you said it goes straight and about 40 yards, is what I use for 20 yards or less. 😀
Thank you. I try to bring some sense into the weird world of golf.
First gear is a long putt or a chip shot. I don't use that for chipping but I could work very well. 👍
It's not a piece of cake to adapt everything but as I can feel a slow development towards the in-out-swing I will continue until it's the natural swing for me. To my excuse the limitation is my range ball account as I'm not able to have a studio of my own and can't afford 1000 range balls a week ;). Anyhow, during my personal exercise of those moments I found my 'gears' a bit better after a while watching all the swings you perform in the clips. There´s, I've noticed, a short moment just as your downswing starts an initial 'load and ignition' the get the power down for arms, hands and moderate rotation. Just as you take a small breath before unloading all and when I introduced this in my practice I got more speed as well. The initial 'let's hit it now' thought before get things going and the more you've practiced to get the path and ball hit good enough the lesser I tend to think of those as seperate moments and instead ONE swing and at the top think 'NOW I start the power engine to get all power out and hit that little fellow so it hurts. Add this as it made something in my thinking process and it might be so natural to you and others to think like that. But there might be others like me that didn't really released the full power just before the downswing start. Really enjoying to develop in the way all your clips guide me to. Started gold at 50 and it might be that now, at 68, I really understand what my swing actually is and perform :)
I sometimes would like to start over and experience all the things you are and will do. You are correct about the time effort part but it is worth it. 💪
After 'trying' to play golf for 3 years, with a lot of body mechanics and checkpoints in my head, i went play a round of golf today, tried to apply your basic teachings, like trail hand passes lead hand=release time , pushing the club instead of pulling, circle of speed. In the first 2 holes(Par4) I couldn't feel that i was pushing the club, on the third hole(par4) i went baseball grip for the 1st time ever (always used interlocked grip), that was when i really started to feel that i was pushing the club with my trail hand, and i can tell you, i will not going back to interlock grip ever again. Don't ask me how i decided to try baseball grip, it was kind of instinct i guess. It feels my wrists are free now.
Even a friend of mine who doesn't have issue with slice tried the baseball grip and he was adding 30 yards to his shots, and ask me for your channel, which i already share with him.
Loads of good shots today, had few pulls, that i was not even angry at them as my slice gone.
I know that i have loads of work to do in my game, as i have many bad habits from trying to fix the slice before, but i am going to do that on the driving range.
For the people who say your teachings are not working, or is bad information, just ignored them please, they are not ready to be enlightened 💡
Thanks a lot for all the content you share in your channel, for me it's like gold 🙏
Thank you for sharing your progress with us. You will be able to use any grip later in the future when the motion through the ball is fully natural. Great job. 👍
Excellent
Thank you so much 😀
To you point Marcus:.............. a TREBUCHET = strong base does not move............... BUT the LEVERS are what LAUNCH the item incredibly far and the end of the chain is where all the speed that was accumulated is now converted to kinetic energy ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO. 🙏🙏🙏 nice here in southern Ontario Canada as well weather wise 🌞🌞🌞
Love Canada but sadly winter is long, dark and cold. We both need to go indoors soon. Trying to enjoy the final warm weeks this year. ☀️
As a Maritime Canadian, Yes, winter is too long, considering the golf season. Gives us time to forget our bad habits, and employ the MARCUS PLAN ! Luckily, we have the best beer on the planet. Jonn Canada@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
Great stuff!
Glad you think so!👍
I was amazed how easy this was to induce in my driver I gained thirty yards of the tee I was averaging 220 yards now 250 with less effort thanks I think if those that watch and practice the results are there thank you
Good job. I know that this works but it's sometimes hard to get golfers to try it. 👍
Great as usual
Thank you! Cheers!👍
Hi Marcus, I am new to your channel and I am really enjoying what I see and hear. Compliments on all areas. I have however one problem and that is I do not know where to begin to transform my game to your method. What comes first? I am 79 and want to try something new while I can. Any tips you could give as to thefollow order would help immensely. Thank you
Hi. I would start with teaching your hands to feel and move the club in control. Start with the series about the hands and go from there. Start here:
th-cam.com/video/JYJrkN991ac/w-d-xo.htmlsi=AvXPAGrTR45PBY0l
Good Stuff Marcus👍
Thanks. 🙏
Marcus ,Your Ball striking is Proof in the Pudding for Me !!!Baseball swing is with the arms for Power ,old Ball player Here whom hit Plenty of Balls over the Fence ,4 Home Runs in an Row one night ,wasn’t my Body Swinging .Agree on Speed vs Muscle!
Daryl, thanks. We all know this works in all other sports but we keep listening to crazy golf ideas. Let's keep going together. 💪
Marcus, I understand 1 hand, the lead hand, slow and 1 hand fast, the trail hand. Terminology is a strange thing. One person understands it one way, and another person a different way. Could show a video of this slow/fast hand. Maybe, stopping, or going extremely slow. Along with some commentary. I’m hitting the ball much better thanks to you. Thanks a million times over.
Thanks for your comment. I will get back to this many more times and I will slow it down to make it more understandable. 👍
Im so close to getting it thx 🙏
It took me years to get it but it only took 5 minutes to get better. Collect those 5 min improvements you get. 👍
Great video! Marcus, I used your swing yesterday and shot a 79 with a triple bogey. Had the ball way back in my stance and that made swinging from the inside so much easer. That's the first time back in the 70's in over 2 years for me and the first time I used the same swing throughout an entire round. After watching this video, I think I'm only using the first two gears. It feels like there's no time to use the wrists. Am I extending my arm (2nd gear) too fast or maybe too late? Thank you for your instruction. You have revived my golf!
Love to hear it. Learning golf is like an adventure and you just started your journey. Experiment a little with how you think and you will find the correct balance between arm and wrist. Good job. 👍
Dear Marcus,
is it possible to make a video focusing on isolating the trail arm and hand mechanism?
i ve been working on the pushing trail side motion and it seems i cant hit it to bell buckle direction; it seems to always hit toward the target and yet chunking 85% of shots.
i am at my wit's end.
I am hopeful that you can make one to make the trail arm a smart one as well.
Thank YOU.
That might happen. Regarding your issues we need to change the goal of the motion. Start with your chunking. Get that landing spot with the club moved forward, extend your trail arm to a point further forward. Watch this:
th-cam.com/video/6nTk2W-AbIw/w-d-xo.htmlsi=fb8_IWm0HraVllhA
When you manage to move your impact, start pushing more and more out until you get a steady path from the inside.
When both work you can start doing it faster and faster. Keep going.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank YOU Marcus...
mucho gracia
@@nokia5359 Glad to help. 👍
I found your guidance videos from golf test dummy videos .I’ve been doing Jim veneteos swing for couple years. I have had success but feels unnatural to left handed for me. I struggle with my right arm dominance wanting to take over getting to steep. Watching you I thought maybe be right arm dominant and that just might allow me to stay on the inside by understanding the path easier by allowing my dominant arm to give me speed and control. In video you say your right handed but your faster left handed. Are you ambidextrous? I can’t understand how I could be faster with my least dominant hand. How can the least dominant arm be faster than the powerful arm? Is that a feeling from less tension?
Excited to get to the range. Thanks
Hi. I am very right handed and have been tested by two universities in Sweden. I am stronger from the right but I am faster from the left.
To get speed in golf we need to control the speed in both hands. We need the trail hand to be a lot faster than the lead hand to get what we want.
Golf is not all about strength, it's mostly about speed with a very light object. Playing ping pong or tennis my back hand is faster and therefore more powerful. Same in baseball. 👍

Hi Marcus. After watching some of your key videos over and over, I finally have a follow through that looks like yours. So i guess my clubpath/direction of energy is getting close.
At the top i just think of extensing my trail elbow in the direction that will make the club trace the path i want. And then basically controlly where i want the “scoop” to happen (for me: after the ball and downward from wedge to 8i, mostly at the ball and more along the ground from 7i, and a foot before the ball with driver).
Still need to be careful and make the scoop be a real scoop and not a rolling of the wrists!
Getting decent results. I get 5-10 more yards on irons but with a much higher ball flight!
as some other people requested, could you also do a video where you hit long irons (4 or 5i)?
Thanks for all the great content. Is scooping part of your swing thoughts for all your swings?
Great job. The long iron video will be here soon and yes all normal shots include the scoop/extension of the lead hand. 👍
Also i can hit beautiful draw shots off my mat but not off the ground. Im hitting the ground way to early. I dont understand what the difference could be. On the mat i hit ball first( i use chalk to see) any ball position on ground i ether hit ground first or the ball goes straight but 20 yards right off target. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Your the only golf channel i watch now. 😁
That's hard to do without knowing your thoughts. In a lesson I would make a mark low on the face of the club with open and tell you to find a lower part of the face. The sweat spot is probably on the third grow on the club.
Hi Marcus how is the health progressing i do hope its going well
Slowly getting better. 👍
Love the gearbox analogy. Leave the doubters behind. People who are unable to do what you describe and demo criticise you instead of themselves 😂😂
So true. 👍
Great explanation, 1 thing that is still bugging me: the moment I use the hands (by scooping, after the impact with downwards swing with irons and letting go of all the gears), everything stops (body, arms). It is also logical, just as in throwing: the moment the hands have done their duty in the kinetic chain the body, arms stop. Thats causing my swing to stop halfway, instead of arms up and hands behind the back in the end-phase as I see you clearly doing (and other pro's :))? Having used my hands and then still using my arms to go up in the endphase is just impossible. Or are the arms going up by momentum of the club? or ...?
Can I also take a Zoom lesson? to talk things through? Have a nice day, greetz
Hi Vincent. The push of the trail hand is not finished at impact. Keep going past impact and there will be no stop. Push all the way until you get your trail hand over your lead shoulder.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thanks for answering! then the scoop, in which the hands extend, is a consequence of the pushing and not an active hand-action⚡
I'm teeing the ball way up high. I'm hanging back on my right side. I'm trying to release the club early. I'm trying to make the low point 2 ft behind the ball... where I release. I'm trying to make my right hand move faster than my left as I move through the ball.
After doing all that I'm hitting it 260 instead of 225!.. and not as high because I don't have 6,000 backspin anymore
Sounds great. Keep going. 👍
Hi Marcus, i injured my Intercostal muscle twice in 3 months, what am i doing wrong. new to golf.
Hi John. I need a lot more information to have any chance to tell you what's going on. When we start a new activity anything can happen. Find a good physio therapist that can find any unbalance that can have developed when you started golfing. Good luck.
I have a question Marcus, some teachers show the split hand drill, is the feeling of your trail hand overtaking the lead hand, whereby one hand slows and one hand speeds up the feeling i should have been getting with the split hand drill, if you get my gist. because i never realised that was supposed to be the aim of the drill in the first place.
Absolutely. Split grip feelings are tough to bring in to your normal grip but it's possible. Watch this:
th-cam.com/video/W8Fbwdz1w2w/w-d-xo.htmlsi=rMh-aHWWx9kioz7X
I have never understood the hitting of the ball, most instructors tell you to swing like there’s no ball there, I hit the ball. what are your thoughts.
@@cynt1111 I absolutely hit the ball. I need to focus my hit on something. I can swing the club but then all speed will be gone.
So scoop first then let right hand beat left?
It happens at the same time through the ball. The scoop (extension) should happen before impact with driver but after impact with irons. Ok?
Thank you so much. This is my first year and ive really been practicing a lot. Finally hit under 90 i used to watch several channels but since i found yours they are all fired. 😂 doing my best to pass on your channel. We need to get you a million subs.
@@JohnDoe-hn5nl The important part is to get you all better every day. Then the subs will come. Keep going my friend. 💪
Been watching lots of your videos and been using trackman and my ball speed and distances has increased significantly. This is solely by having the thought of the right hand moving faster than the left.
Obviously it will take a lot of practice to get this right... however i have lost accuracy and i am pulling a lot more shots.
Any advice on why this might be the case? Does it sound like i am releasing too early with the hooky shots? Can i ask what you feel with the right palm at impact and just after? Is it facing the target?
Nice to hear about your progress. A straight pull is a swing path problem. Feel that you exaggerate the out part through the ball. It will keep you club face slightly open and will make the club go more up after impact instead of around you like a hook does.
My feeling is open, never closed. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you for the quick reply and thank you for this reality of effortless speed!!
I will work on a more out feeling at impact and see if that will help with those odd pulls.
Keep those videos coming!
@@Stantheman848 I struggle with that from time to time too. And Ive noticed it to be more of a problem on the course if I get nervous, or doubting myself after a few bad shots, feeling performance anxiety or whatever. And the answer is always that Im not allowing my self to exaggerate the out feeling just like Marcus says. It really is a mind game and hard to trust to be right when in doubt. If you're determined in your swing you can go as hard as you like out and up and it still wont go 45 degrees out as you might feel.
With the slow lead hand, does it feel like your putting the breaks on it at impact? Or pressure backward a little to slow it down? Like when you bend the shaft against the mat?
I only feel that when I do it really slow. In somewhat normal speed I only feel that the trail hand passes the lead hand. It's the same motion but standing still builds tension in places that are in motion during the swing so it feels different.
Thx im starting to get it I usually hit my 5 iron 170s last night i hit it 195 over a geen i was never happier to miss a green. 😂
Have you ever suffered with Tennis Elbow through using your forearm and wrist ?
Sorry, no injury in 23 years. I rarely hear anything about pain. When we use are arms, wrist and fingers they gradually get stronger and don't seam to have any problems handling the golf shots. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Many thanks for your prompt reply. I only ask because I have been playing for many years but about 15 years ago I had to start swinging with my left arm giving power alone - as I had developed tennis elbow by trying to use my right hand and arm too much in the swing.
I shall certainly be giving your method a go as the results you demonstrate are quite amazing.
Try less stiff shafts. Senior flex?@@travertraver1
I wonder if your club shafts are too stiff?@@travertraver1
Är fyllda 40 och har precis tagit grönt kort. Har du någon bra video där du förklarar det här med att använda handlederna? Du la ut en video för 1 mån sedan som heter ”börja med ett drag och sen ska vi uppåt” där du pratade om att det inte behövs en vridning. Jag behöver en tydligare förklaring på detta 😁
Hej. Denna video förklarar vidare hur rörelsen fortsätter:

Transitioning from an automatic to a standard is a struggle for many. Take time to learn and you will enjoy the results. I do think that hitting 165 yards with a PW is speeding and not what that club was designed for, but fun anyway. If I could hit that distance with a wedge, I could drop several clubs and buy a more expensive car.🥴🇨🇦👍👨🦳
My PW is always on overdrive and there have been some tickets. 🤣
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad A funny comment but made me thinking. Relatively speaking I'm hitting my shorter irons way longer than med longer irons, that by no means is short. Just relatively shorter. I find myself having it much easier really throwing the club under up and out when standing closer to the ball with shorter clubs. When the shaft gets longer, you have to stand further away and the swing circle gets less upright (flat), right? And if the swing circle is flat(ter), thinking it as a hoolahoop (rockring) on a tilt, a under out and up throw/push is in more conflict with a more tilted, flatter swing circle and therefore I easily chicken out with pully motion with the lead arm saying, "hey where not going that way". Not sure you understand what I mean, and maybe I'm actually standing to far from the ball with longer irons making the swing automatically too flat.
Cheers
@@jonnyfredriksson447 I understand. The longer the club the harder it gets to keep the up picture in your mind but a longer club needs that to.
This is why it's easy to start doing this with a shorter club but it's gets harder the longer the club gets. Try to think more up than around with ALL CLUBS. It is possible. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Cheers, that's exactly what I mean and also what I came up with to be the answer. Great to get it confirmed. "up picture" is the key word here.
Thanks!
Perfect. 👍@@jonnyfredriksson447
When the top hand is too tight …..I describe it to them as playing with the hand brake on ….😂😂

Lol “he’s all arms” … I’ll pimp my triceps all day long 😅😅
You have no idea of the crazy comments I get. 🤪
I think it would make a great video if you read some out lol.@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
I wonder if the people who criticize can hit a 350-yard drive with their theory of their critics as you can do time and time again easily. If they don't get value from your teaching just move on because there's the reason why you can hit it 350 yards with a driver and they can't and it's because they don't have a clue what they are doing. Who's gonna listen to them? Only a fool. l played one time with a couple and the husband keeps trying to teach/show his wife how to swing even though her swing is way better than his and she can hit the ball and he can hardly get ball flight.
In Sweden I no longer need to prove anything after all the years of competitions but it's always easier to criticize than look in the mirror and say I was wrong. Wait until I'm 60 and still hit it 350, there will be some interesting comments then. I will bug you all until we all hit it longer. 💪
