@@jonnyfredriksson447 I keep sharing this young man with everyone. It's funny how many are set in their ways, though. Marcus is the best at coaching golf/thinking--delivers it straight--and delivers what works. Wish I had started golf this way! Doing it now! ;>) Cheers!
To everyone watching, Marcus is right, I've followed him for just over 3 months, transformed my game, regained all distance I'd lost as a mid 60s senior, in fact my driver distance is now probably longer than ever, and my current handicap is 6.3, down from 11.8 when i first followed Marcus. Won 3 senior medals, and the senior championship at my club Nothing complicated about his teaching whatsoever. Thanks Marcus
Thanks Marcus for sharing what just works for anyone that will think about these things and practice the drills. I’m an eleven handicap and I know that I will improve.
Marcus in my humble opinion your the Pro people need to learn from, top top man......👍 by the way people should want the ball to look better, loved the way you put it.........
'm convinced. I live in the wet Pacific Northwest and these lessons have enabled me to carry the drive 240 yards on a cold day. I'm 82. But have always been athletic. Also started putting with my hands and wrists (like golfers back in the day) and that has helped too. Thanks.
Marcus, you have cleared up several (close to a dozen!) great mysteries of the golf swing for us after many, many years of searching high and low in a ton of golf books and watching literally thousands of golf related TH-cam vids. No other golf swing practitioner and teacher we have ever discovered puts all pieces of swing puzzle together the way your overall teaching does. We truly have no idea how we did not find your stuff on TH-cam years ago. We are sure you may have heard this request from your fans and students many times before: Please if at all possible (especially for all us struggling hackers all over the world), in near future consider adding your fantastic golf swing analysis of various aspects of arm and hand path and club face angles at address, using an "Overhead Camera View." Maybe even a split screen analysis would be possible, with regular view, dowline views, and Overhead Camera views. Thank you sir !!
Hi Joe. Thanks for the kind words. I have only produced videos for two years in English so I'm still a newbie. I will try to test if I can produce other angles. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Hi Marcus, instead of a way overhead cam and complicated split screen tech stuff, we really meant a more of like a "helmet cam view" or "point of view cam" angle, where you discuss what you are personally seeing and trying to do during your swing, as far as doing your brilliant swing analysis when you are actually looking down at your ball at address and at your own hands path, club face angle at address, line of attack, etc. Sort of like a "here's what I am seeing at address, and what I am trying to do." For example, maybe answering questions like "Are you measuring your hands forward in front of ball from the 45 degree attack line with irons, or from how the hands appear forward on the foot line" or "here's how I place my club behind ball with driver." Your fans and students would then just get an additional awesome view of what you're teaching and even more clear insight into how to put your swing ideas into practice at range and course by seeing the ball from your actual point of view during swing. We tried your core ideas for first time today on the range with irons and fairway woods, it is the most solid contact we've ever hit our irons and fairway woods in 20+ years of playing golf after just 1 week of watching your videos. Added easy 10-15 yards with irons, and 25-40 yards with fairway woods. Finally looking forward to getting better again after many years of totally inconsistent golf Thank you sir!!
Amazing results, simple explanation, Thank you Marcus ! Haven’t ever improved so much this fast. In just a few days of working with the videos here I’ve watched my Driver, irons, and fairway woods improve dramatically! Forget all the complicated crap you’ve been fed, this gentleman teaches easy concepts that work quickly, loving my new swing.
I have tried every imaginable type of body-driven swing and you are right Marcus....the arms are needed to drive the downswing. Thank you for opening my eyes. The only place I still like to use a body swing is on small pitch shots where speed isn't needed.
Thank you for saying "follow your body". It made sense immediately (I was cooking and knew where my errors have occured with out seeing the screen !). Brilliant brother !
This seems more intuitive for me. I grew up playing baseball, basketball and ice hockey, but had a hard time translating that to a golf swing. Thanks for this different perspective and hope to achieve more consistency with fewer injuries.
Outstanding video Marcus. I’ve been doing what your videos show and I have vastly improved my ball striking and accuracy. It’s amazing how I have consistently been improving and now I’m able to get out of some prettty tight spots after my driver lets me down. Ive made some pretty difficult second shots from the rough to the green from over 147 yards using your technique and I’ve saved par a few times in a few different situations. I shot an 83 yesterday and I felt really confident that using your techniques I can get out of situations that I normally wouldn’t be able to before. Thank you for the videos.
Marcus, after a year of trying your swing on and off this video, was the breakthrough feeling for me. Concentrating on the free wheeling of the arms and focusing on the arms swinging not the hands or body I finally felt the easy speed and correct movement. Amazing how feeling the arms swing can be such a freeing change from focusing on the shoulders or pulling with the hands, game changer- thank you, this video was the key for me.
Marcus, I’m left handed but play right handed. I love the feeling of my trail hand overtaking my lead but sometimes my left hand takes over. How do I subdue my lead arm?
@@mgrassodirector Hi Michael. You can teach your lead hand to release as well. It's the pulling with the lead hand that we need to stop but it can be active if it's helping. Watch this: th-cam.com/video/_D92EKbCp9c/w-d-xo.html
I just discovered your videos and am really enjoying them. I’m a 72-year-old Canadian left hander who is trying to maintain his distance. Like the majority of lefties, I’m a right-handed person, i.e., I write and throw right-handed but play anything with a “stick”-golf, hockey, lacrosse, and hitting a baseball-left-handed. Are you the same, Marcus? Because my right arm is “smarter” than my left, I played golf as a pulling sport for years and got down to a 7 index at one point doing that. I did the same in hockey and that’s probably why my slap shot was less than stellar. It’s only in the past two years that I’ve dedicated myself to “pushing” (or “hitting” according to The Golfing Machine) and am pleased with the results, especially with the driver. It’s more of a push with the left side of my body so I have to work more on swinging the left arm and hand more independently. The other thing I’ve been working on over the past few months is starting the downswing by swinging ‘down’ instead of ‘out’ at the ball so this video really struck a chord with me.
Welcome to my channel. You seam to be on the right track, good job. I am just like you and have given my smart right hand the control of the club face and my less intelligent hand has the job off pushing for power. I did the same in hockey and I just switch to a golf club and kept doing the same thing. Let's keep going to get even better golf shots. 👍
Great video. I really like when you said the hands move down from the top. That piece of advice is undoubtedly gold. The world of golf instruction is split in half in regards to the body working in a reactive manner or not. Thanks Marcus
Hi Marcus, Found you through “Test Dummy” and found many pure gold nuggets in your instruction! Can’t wait to try out these things for myself. Also many heartening comments from elder golfers. I am 78 and now mostly try for boggies. Appreciate your videos, keep ‘em coming!👍👍
Timely vvideo, yesterday as I was playing I set my mind on allowing the clubhead to flow into the ball. It was tough for awhile as I was taught turn and release. This will transform my game. Thank you
Great instruction Marcus! I am learning so much from you and my irons have greatly improved. It is winter here and I can’t hit driver in my yard. I’m ready for spring so I can work more on my driver. Thanks again so much!
Loving the content. I wanted to make the same request another person made. Having a POV (seeing what you see) and additional different angles for the backswing. I think thats where I am still unsure in my back swing. I cant tell if I going to far inside, not enough, hinging early or late, hinging the correct way/direction, lead arm to high or low. I think it might solve that for me if we can see from a POV view and multiple different angles. I feel if I can really nail down the backswing, everything else will just fall into place
Hey Marcus, another angle you can explore to add is from the front, opposite to down the line. It's rare that people show that, but I remember finding it helpful when I saw a video in that perspective back in the day. (I was in pursuit of straightness and that vid was good ol' Moe Norman :)
Hi Marcus, in this video, which i have seen more than once, you say that the body just follows the arms, but in another video you show how to use bodyweight to improve distance. Could you explain how you combine these parts?
All I have said is that when I was at my heaviest I could use my body as counter weight and that made me rotate slower. That gave me more stability and my arm got more time to increase speed.
Hi Marcus from NZ. I have just come across your videos & find them very interesting. With regard the swing path is there a danger of the club getting “stuck” behind the body &/or the hands getting very high or too high through impact? Thank you for your video posts.
Everything we do have a limit, to much is not good but I rarely see to "high" hands when we execute the swing circle correctly. About getting stuck behind, watch this: th-cam.com/video/HCESGCszWmU/w-d-xo.htmlsi=8rfiOP80Zg5rV3LC
Wow, one of your very best videos.! I love the demonstration, and the separation in distinction of how you describe the lead side of the body pulling, which is wrong! Versus dropping the hands straight down and creating speed that way. Very very clear picture awesome awesome thank you
Paul Wilson as the "body swing" guru says you only need to turn your body and hands and arms are completely passive. I never could relate to that because my arms would be like jello but couldn't hit the ball out of my shadow. If you look at him in a slow motion, his arms are ripling with muscles which means he uses them a lot more than he thinks.
I have started using this approach with great results for driver. A bit more difficult with the irons. One question: I noticed you extend the arms at address i.e. your hands are in front of the shoulder plane. For what reason is this? Do you do that to get more space on the inside?
I've been throwing my hands to the ball in the downswing and hitting the heel of the driver!, do you have any videos to help with that!?, I hope you're doing great Marcus!, all the best
I haven't a video with the driver and heel hits but you can use this video and do the same drill. th-cam.com/video/5nKVHg_GGXc/w-d-xo.htmlsi=tvnH4bMSMPo1LyOw
Hi Marcus. I enjoy watching your videos over and over again. I shot 75 (3 over par) yesterday using your method for only the 2nd time. Question: Looking at your initial backswing move, it appears that you initiate with a slight pull back of your trail arm as you begin to bend it. Am I perceptive or visually impaired? 🙃
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you Marcus. I believe that this little pull back with the trail arm to kickoff the backswing could be a key to a better and more consistent inside to out swing. Thank you for confirming this. I think that your method can revolutionize the golf swing once weekend golfers keep finding your channel.
I think your instruction on using the hands is brilliant and will help millions of golfers - most golfers that I see who struggle sway backwards off the ball and then sway forwards through the ball so if you could explain using the hands and balance together I think that would help a lot of people.
Pardon me Marcus, I just found a video that you did one year ago named "push your weight forward" I think you explained it very well in that video (I found your channel not that long ago and I'm still catching up on all your videos) Thanks
Thanks for your help. My question is how do I stop pushing my irons and hybrid clubs? They are not slicing. They have a straight path slightly right of the target. I am right handed.
I'm not sure what your looking for but this one is all about a better start from the top and finding the circle of speed: th-cam.com/video/N1HrX4C5aWk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zR_6fBW45quyTFxP
I'm also enjoying your swing, only being doing ti for 2weeks,,,I always have been trail hand dominate,so adapting to your swing was easy enough for me, but occasionally I draw too much and then I feel I have to aim more right of flag,, what's the fix to the strong draw??
A strong draw? When we hook the golf ball we most often have rotated the face and we don't need to do that. The release will close the face enough if we let the trail hand overtake the lead hand.
Hi. In the beginning it could help to restrict body turn a little but in the end we can't use our energy to hold anything back. Learn to start more with your trail arm and you don't need to hold back your turn. 👍
Hi Steve. There is nothing in how I move or set-up that is to promote a single plane swing. I am far from it in my idea about golf. My short legs and long spine forces me to stand like this to find balance. 😁
Marcus, have you seen the gem training aid? I would be interested in your opinion regarding the release that it promotes and if it is similar or the same as what you advise. Love the channel. Gary from San Diego.
Not yet Gary. I did see a TH-cam video today and hopefully I can try it on the PGA show in January. If it's good to create a correct feel I will tell everyone about it. The thing they want to make you do is similar to what I want. 👍 SAN DIEGO would be nice. 😊
I’ve been hitting a lot of pull draws. Previously said by mistake push draw. Everything is going left. How would I correct that? Aim more right, or turning slower? Thanks, and like always, great info.
It's all about when it happens. With an iron (or any shot from the grass) we need to go down and out to the ball and hit the ball before we start the upward motion. With a driver we start the upward motion before impact.
After I few months I got it with the irons up to the W3, but I’m struggling with the driver most of the time. It’s a comical feeling to move this long club straight down with the hands. I get a very steep move and not an „around and around“ feeling. It’s always a feeling to hit the driver unsupervised into the ground. What I am doing wrong?
I'm sorry but without actually seeing you swing the club I will only be guessing. What normally happens with people I meet is that they don't release early enough with the driver. We need to make a big difference in timing when we step up to the driver.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad So much of what you say answers a lot of questions, and is the direction in which i find myself going lately regarding slowing the body and speeding the hands up, i have also found if i change my hand path to a more in to out feel i get the desired contact. I have always hooked the ball and useing the hands more was counter intuitive.
He talks alot about the arms and hands and his body isn't really involved, but if you slow down his swing he is moving his weight very hard from back to front, also his hips do move. Why does he always wear black pants. The only thing is like about him is the pushing with his right arm. But he does many things in the conventional swing that he says he doesn't.
That's the whole idea. I want us to do all the normal things but it's why it happens I want you to understand. It does happen to help our hands not vice versa.
The Dog wags the tail, not the tail wagging the dog as most amateurs do, the body does move in response, so Marcus's feel is his arms, this is definately where the most swing speed is generated, it is why the pros make the swing look so effortless, they are not throwing their body's at it, Freddie couples is a perfect example.
Also, even though it would increase your viewership. I cannot share this with my friends. This gives me too big of an advantage. I feel like I found a secret weapon on my side. I always struck lol well. But not really knowing why. And this has answered some questions that have been lingering. Now I have a much more clear picture of what I was doing right. And a few things that I needed to improve on. Sorry about the selfishness. But it comes down to dollar bills when I’m beating these guys on the course that’s money in my pocket. I can’t give away my secret weapon. Lol.
Thanks!

Would like to see you do a video on "balance"
Joel, help me. Be more specific.
I think your instruction on using the hands is brilliant and will help millions of golfers - most golfers that I see who struggle sway backwards off the ball and then sway forwards through the ball so if you could explain using the hands and balance together I think that would help a lot of people.
@@goldrushpro Ok. Thanks. I will keep that idea. 👍
Pardon me Marcus, I just found a video that you did one year ago named "push your weight forward"
I think you explained it very well in that video (I found your channel not that long ago and I'm still catching up on all your videos)
Thanks
@@goldrushpro It's still room for repetition. 👍
Thanks for your help. My question is how do I stop pushing my irons and hybrid clubs? They are not slicing. They have a straight path slightly right of the target. I am right handed.
Hi. Watch this and you will understand:

What video do you have whereby you put the 2nd ball back behind your stance and feel like you are hitting that ball to help with the downswing?
I'm not sure what your looking for but this one is all about a better start from the top and finding the circle of speed:
th-cam.com/video/N1HrX4C5aWk/w-d-xo.htmlsi=zR_6fBW45quyTFxP
I know that is not the one you're looking for but there are 150 videos, I don't remember them all. 🤔
I'm also enjoying your swing, only being doing ti for 2weeks,,,I always have been trail hand dominate,so adapting to your swing was easy enough for me, but occasionally I draw too much and then I feel I have to aim more right of flag,, what's the fix to the strong draw??
A strong draw? When we hook the golf ball we most often have rotated the face and we don't need to do that. The release will close the face enough if we let the trail hand overtake the lead hand.
So the club gets well behind the body , and you shaft gets across the line at the top . The swing circle Is slanted for in to out . ? ???
We swing on the side not behind. If the club gets stuck to much behind we are in trouble.
If i use my shoulders inside out during downswing, it helps arms and hands to follow. Should I continue to do that?
Your arms should not follow the shoulders. They will move together in the start of downswing but then you need to let your arms be free.
Should we think of hand circle or body circle or both?
The club circle is the most important. If you do that correctly you will get all answers what you need to do.
Coach- does it help to try keeping the back facing the target as long as you can in the downswing?Thanks--your videos are always a must watch.
Hi. In the beginning it could help to restrict body turn a little but in the end we can't use our energy to hold anything back. Learn to start more with your trail arm and you don't need to hold back your turn. 👍
Marcus, you set up farther from the ball than most golfers. Are you getting into the single plane position on purpose?
Hi Steve. There is nothing in how I move or set-up that is to promote a single plane swing. I am far from it in my idea about golf. My short legs and long spine forces me to stand like this to find balance. 😁
Great
Glad you think so 👍
Marcus, have you seen the gem training aid? I would be interested in your opinion regarding the release that it promotes and if it is similar or the same as what you advise. Love the channel.
Gary from San Diego.
Not yet Gary. I did see a TH-cam video today and hopefully I can try it on the PGA show in January. If it's good to create a correct feel I will tell everyone about it.
The thing they want to make you do is similar to what I want. 👍
SAN DIEGO would be nice. 😊
I’ve been hitting a lot of pull draws. Previously said by mistake push draw. Everything is going left. How would I correct that? Aim more right, or turning slower? Thanks, and like always, great info.
Hi Elliot. Watch this and hopefully you get your path correct.

Hi Marcus
If the hands are going up and out how do we avoid topping the ball?
I’m finding this particularly difficult with the fairway woods.
It's all about when it happens. With an iron (or any shot from the grass) we need to go down and out to the ball and hit the ball before we start the upward motion. With a driver we start the upward motion before impact.
After I few months I got it with the irons up to the W3, but I’m struggling with the driver most of the time. It’s a comical feeling to move this long club straight down with the hands. I get a very steep move and not an „around and around“ feeling. It’s always a feeling to hit the driver unsupervised into the ground. What I am doing wrong?
I'm sorry but without actually seeing you swing the club I will only be guessing. What normally happens with people I meet is that they don't release early enough with the driver. We need to make a big difference in timing when we step up to the driver.

Welcome. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad So much of what you say answers a lot of questions, and is the direction in which i find myself going lately regarding slowing the body and speeding the hands up, i have also found if i change my hand path to a more in to out feel i get the desired contact. I have always hooked the ball and useing the hands more was counter intuitive.
Your circle of club, is it inside out? Please confirm. It is not inside to inside.
It's only inside to out through the ball. It's probably going in 10-15 inches after the ball. Our arms can't reach out more.
hard to see , do you use a 10 finger grip or baseball grip , does not look like a interlock
I'm using a normal overlap. Maybe my chubby fingers make it look lika 10-finger grip. 😁
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I have sausages too I will try the overlap and a thicker grip
@@tgilbertson747 😁
…is there a video that shows you hitting from the front?…
Plenty, what club do you prefer?
This video has iron and driver swings. What are you trying to understand better?
Yo

100kg is 220 lbs
Ok. That's my normal weight. 🍺🍕
He talks alot about the arms and hands and his body isn't really involved, but if you slow down his swing he is moving his weight very hard from back to front, also his hips do move. Why does he always wear black pants. The only thing is like about him is the pushing with his right arm. But he does many things in the conventional swing that he says he doesn't.
That's the whole idea. I want us to do all the normal things but it's why it happens I want you to understand. It does happen to help our hands not vice versa.
The Dog wags the tail, not the tail wagging the dog as most amateurs do, the body does move in response, so Marcus's feel is his arms, this is definately where the most swing speed is generated, it is why the pros make the swing look so effortless, they are not throwing their body's at it, Freddie couples is a perfect example.
Also, even though it would increase your viewership. I cannot share this with my friends. This gives me too big of an advantage. I feel like I found a secret weapon on my side. I always struck lol well.
But not really knowing why. And this has answered some questions that have been lingering. Now I have a much more clear picture of what I was doing right. And a few things that I needed to improve on. Sorry about the selfishness. But it comes down to dollar bills when I’m beating these guys on the course that’s money in my pocket. I can’t give away my secret weapon. Lol.
Love it. 😁
Hockey players are generally good golfers I can visualize this guy taking a slap shot and blasting one by the goalkeeper
That did. happen a lot but it's a long time ago. 🤣
Thanks!
Thank you so much. 🙏
