I ve been applying your ideas with great success Marcus...really like your approach to understanding the golf swing types/ball path results..am really enjoying your content..thnx so much🙂
Agree with Chief’s earlier comment. Great day when you post a new video, mate. Thanks Marcus! Working on Everything you suggest, and hitting most shots now really well. I refuse to listen to anyone else. Thank you my friend. Jacko
I just went to hit my new driver and used your drill of an alignment stick at a 45 degree angle to have a target for hitting on the inside…I had a horrible problem with heeling the ball with that club and it helped immensely thank you Marcus
Because the release is a bit earlier we should not stay down as long as when we want to hit down on the ball. I'll see if I can make a good video about it. 👍
Marcus, I have always been a left side puller and my main swing thought was to pull down with left side. As you may guess, I also have always been a big pull/pull hook kind of guy and now developed a chicken wing as compensation for that and can't get the club face closed. I tried your right side centered swing one day and was like, dang man what the heck. It was awesome. Thanks for the knowledge. Cheers from North Carolina, USA. Now off to practice.
Thanks for another informative video. I have been trying way too long to improve with no lasting success. A friend recommended that I check out your videos and I could not believe how different your instruction was than anything I have ever seen before. My shot shape changed from a fade to a draw in less than 10 minutes into my first practice session. It will take some time but I finally have a potential for improvement, cannot wait to see where I can get to with time. Thank you Marcus.
I actually never think about the top. If I circle the club correctly it solves it self. Half way down is another story. Half ways I feel that my lead wrist is close to flat to make it possible to extend/scoop through/after impact.
Hey Marcus. Thanks so much for the time you put into sharing your insights. I have been working on speeding my arms up and just noticed I am hitting the ball well but they are going straight to the right about 45 degrees. I am a Righty.
Could you please do a video of your club face at address before takeaway at 45 degrees to body. I find I am opening face up at address otherwise it’s a strong hook left. Maybe that’s my issue. Thanks once again.
You, sir are a genius. I have been playing the middle ball in the video you just sent. I was trying to compensate for turning club face too much and pulling ball to left. Could you please explain the club face out and up after impact in more detail.
@@GoBananasFun I made two videos about the perfect scoop. Watch these: th-cam.com/video/hXpX-yPJJOU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=CsZKhsSkPqq0FwUE th-cam.com/video/hl3MpyMKkNc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=eL8faHo1USo0NliB
This is exactly what I meant in my comment in your last video. This video really explains it well. For many years, I tried to play golf from positions. Once I learned that if you do a few things correctly, your body will do what it should. Then it started to make sense
Great content as always. Marcus, as we see the low point control or timing here varies from club to club, can you speak to your feelings on the path as well. We know it is i'n to out'. Do you feel a difference in how much 'in to out' depending on the club as you just explained with the low point control. Should I 'feel' more i'n to out 'or less i'n to out 'as I move from PW to Driver, or do you 'feel' the path as basically the same ?
I say it in many videos but maybe it's time to do a video on the subject. I always try to swing a lot out but it's harder to do with a driver and therefore I put in some extra effort when I hit driver. Ball position also restricts path. A ball placed too much forward makes it hard to swing from the inside. When you ask a bout feel, I never have the same feel with a short and a long club. A Pw and Driver are different sports in my brain.
Thank you again Marcus for another insightful video. On the down swing I try to hit out “though one o’clock “ ( I’m a right handed golfer). Do you do this with your swing with the shorter clubs ( for you it would be hit out through 11o’clock) or do you simply swing along the target line?
Thanks Marcus. It seems easier to push down with a baseball grip as your hand is underneath. Is that how you’re gripping the club to push down? Does a neutral grip or strong grip change the approach? Appreciate the guidance, thank you.
Nice swing thought. Will try it this afternoon on my indoor setup this afternoon. Question: When you push with your palm, when does it start? From the top of the swing or later? Do you push with the same force all the time or is it a maximum somewhere in the swing like when your going down closer to the boll? Would be great to hear how you feel the force. (..."feel the force", heard that one before 😀)
I can't tell you exactly when things happen but the idea of what to do start direct at the top. I think it also changes a bit depending on how low or high I want to hit the ball. I get the feel for the shots buy just plying around with it and always watching ball flight.
Of course I can hit a fade but it's not nearly as good as my draw. And I teach fade to my students if they want but not in my videos. It takes a different timing and movement.
Hi Marcus, I watched this video again with pleasure. Of course, you can't extend when you press down with your palm, but if you don’t mind I have a small comment here and a request for clarification. To put it simply, the natural sequence when throwing a ball or javelin, or when pressing downwards, is (in terms of moving parts of the body) first the shoulder, then the arm and finally the hand. By push down with your palm instruction, do you mean this sequence? If so, does this mean that you activate your push down with your left shoulder forward and down, and at the same time arm down and palm push towards the ball? This is probably a small detail, but important in terms of “a trigger and feel”, so I would be grateful for your kind explanation here. It's great to have you back, we keep our fingers crossed for your full recovery. Best J
Hi. I know that many golfers want a trigger or a feel to start the motion but I don't think there is one for all golfers. I don't feel anything anywhere else than in my hand. I tell my hand that I need a push down and I get it. When I think about another body part I loose it. In my videos I can see the things you write about happen but it happens naturally and I think we need to let it be or we destroy it. The trigger/feel will come on the way.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you for your prompt reply. It's hard to disagree with you! Trigger/feel issues are indeed very individual. I'm trying to convince my hand, but so far it doesn't always listen to me 🤷♂️, hence my question. Well, all I can do is keep talking to my hand, maybe I'll finally succeed (!), and most importantly watch your videos, cos thanks to you my golf has gone to a higher level 😊, and I'll probably finally get along with my hand soon! Take care. J
Would you say the approach with a 6i and above is remarkable different. In what way do I adjust whit those in my hands? Perhaps you intended to develop in antoher clip but I'm curious. BTW all your instructions start to fall in place and I'm more aware of what I'm doing. It takes some time to get the 'feel' but I start to understand more of all previous lessons :) Thanks Marcus!
Maybe I have to do a video about that but I don't push down as much with longer irons and other clubs. It's more a push a long the ground than in to the ground.
The trail hand can pass on the way down or the way up depending on when it happens and if we don't roll the wrists over the passing and the palm will be going in the same direction.
Well Done! I have been using your methods for a while and getting results. Recently I noticed you set your feet parallel to the target but your shoulders seem to be set with your swing path. Yesterday at the range I set up this way and was hitting fabulous shots. Am I correct?
Marcus, at 2m32s on your video I paused the frame to see how much wrist extension you have as you pushed into the table. I'm not a physical therapist by any means but it looks like you can extend your wrists past 90 degrees. I'd say close to 120 degrees. My wrists will not allow me to get anywhere close to that. I've noticed that long hitters have very flexible wrists. People like John Daily, Fred Couples, VJ Sing, Michelle Wee, etc. Is this a problem that I need to work on for more wrist extension and flexion to get more power? Weird question I know but I'm searching for more distance anywhere I can find it. Thanks again Marcus
I wasn't that flexible in my wrists when I started playing golf 24 years ago but when you hit 500 balls a day your body adapts very quickly. During five years I hit 300-500 balls a day at full speed to go from 110mph to 140mph and during that time a lot of things happened in my body. Of course you can stretch but I think it will solve it self if you put in the work on the range.
Great, staying down to the ball-to extend/hit late/follow through to release/unhinge/uncock the wrist late for the 7 iron and below, is it because of the loft of these clubs, and relatively early with the driver and on time with the woods and 6 iron and above clubs, while gradualy moving the ball closer to the middle of your stance, did I understood correctly Marcus mate.
I would say that it's only to control if the club is on its way down or up when we reach the ball. It absolutely is loft related but mostly impact related. You don't need to move the ball if you learn this, you can choose to hit any shot in the book with this skill. 👍
Thank you ..afters years of pro tuition telling me it is the same swing for all clubs..I can ,with your help,finally understand what I am doing...
Great to hear. I will try to guide you to better golf. 👍

Top class instruction as always only Marcus. No hour's of waffling straight to the point

It feels crazy in the beginning but it works great. Good job. 👍
Did u make video on how to extend woods , long iron and hybrid? Please do. Thanks.
Because the release is a bit earlier we should not stay down as long as when we want to hit down on the ball. I'll see if I can make a good video about it. 👍
Marcus this video and your elbow power video are pure gold ! Striking the ball so crisp now ) Thanks bro ! 👍💪
Happy to hear that! Thanks for putting the work. 😊
Another gem....so clearly explained and demonstrated - brilliant!
Glad you enjoyed it!👍
always so clear and concise information and great visuals
Glad you think so!👍
That swing thought of hitting between the goalie’s legs is really good.
It can bring some good feelings. 👍
Thank you Marcus, your videos are something I look forward to and I take to the course with me.
Glad you like them!👍
just won winter league with my partner 46 points. ball back in the stance and pushing with my trail hand.

G'day from Australia...Marcus...I have single length irons/clubs...Sw thru to 7 iron as well as 6 iron...thanks for the input...will work on that...
Sounds good. 👍
Another great lesson. On an unrelated topic - do you cup your lead hand wrist at the top of your back swing, or do you try and keep it flat?
I actually never think about the top. If I circle the club correctly it solves it self. Half way down is another story. Half ways I feel that my lead wrist is close to flat to make it possible to extend/scoop through/after impact.
Thanks. Tying to keep the wrist flat seemed to restrict the motion. Making progress!
@@tombeach1262 I try not to "keep" anything and instead think about to create the motion I want. Keeping is restricting.
That makes it more natural.@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

Hi Marcus,Thanks for your videos. Is you left forearm (lefty swinger) facing up when delivering the club in downswing?
Hi Jerry. From half ways in to impact it's facing up and out, absolutely. 👍
Could you film from above your head so we could see the inside out swing path?
I don't have equipment to do that yet but working on a solution.
What is the relationship between pushing down with the trail hand and the trail hand passing the lead hand?
The trail hand can pass on the way down or the way up depending on when it happens and if we don't roll the wrists over the passing and the palm will be going in the same direction.
Well Done! I have been using your methods for a while and getting results. Recently I noticed you set your feet parallel to the target but your shoulders seem to be set with your swing path. Yesterday at the range I set up this way and was hitting fabulous shots. Am I correct?
I don't think I have seen me hit balls with closed shoulders at set up but sometimes I use a square stance.
Why not with mid irons ? what do you recommend for them ? Thanks.
It's more of a sweep through the ball. If we push to much down the ball flight will be to low. 👍

So with driver longer clubs power is STILL with palm power ,too. But timing different towards impact?
Where the palm is aimed the power will go. Palm down or up is all about timing if you swing from the inside.
Do you line up open,,closed or straight? thx. Harley
I line up straight or slightly open depending on the club. 👍
Sir I am Hooking the ball since I am coming from inside according to your tutorial. Anyway, you can tell me how not to hook the ball
Watch this and I hope you will understand:

As you do 👍
Thanks. 🙏
this is the hardest and most frustrated part of a golf swing. for me that is.
i can Not make a halfway decent hip turn is the reason, i believe.
Sorry but I don't think hip turn has anything to do with staying down through the ball. Make your body help your hands.
