Quick update. Played 10 rounds this November. Broke 100 7x out of 10. Best score 94. This Friday will play my nemesis course and gonna smash it. Wish me luck. Happy golfing everyone.
after many years getting into positions and working on fixes in my golf swing this is just mind blowing and works. I hit some wedges on the school playing field the other day (I am a teacher) and within 3 shots my footwork improve and I hit a baby draw on every shot and took a proper divot. usually I sweep through the ball and my divot is very shallow. this made me hit proper divots ahead of the ball. can't wait to play after lockdown to see how the driver goes. Thanks Marcus.
I must have had the same instructor, initially... keep your feet still and do not sway off of ball. Will watch from 6:50 on to get the fix! Is golf really this simple... maybe there’s hope for this old goat yet! Cheers, Marcus for the lesson and Robin for the upbeat comments. I’m happy for everyone including me.
Amazingly simple, amazingly effective I played golf when I was younger,6 handicap Then Hardly played for 20 years. About 3 years ago I got the bug again. Unfortunately the swing didn't follow. From then until now, I've been absolutely diabolical. So bad I almost missed the ball altogether, a few times. Had lessons from 2 professionals,would have been better keeping the money, and going to the pub. Now after watching some of your lessons. I'm pure cracking it like I did 20 years ago Happy days Thank you
Without a doubt some of the best instruction available online! The best for a high handicapper, but valuable for every level. Less commentary from the cameraman.
Hi Jim. I think the camera operator is quite good as he encourages the students. He's quite funny in other videos when there's some banter between them all.😆
Please keep up this amazing content, Marcus! Can’t tell you how much your “Jedi Mechanics” have changed (read: improved the efficiency) of my swing...and stopped random muscle pains... Not to mention, I’ve been reading about keys for visualization during the swing (to focus on instead of swing thoughts, self-talk) and have recently adopted visualizing you standing with the yellow hoop on my intended ball flight... SHIT WORKS. Keep it up. Stay safe. Can’t wait for some new vids once everyone can get back to it.
Marcus, just a quick question on ball then turf contact. Do you even consider that worth thinking about? The reason I ask is that I have been practising a lot of the last few months and having some success when it comes to making everything I do intention-based. However, I do feel like sometimes when I'm out the back door working on full swings I get back to my old ways of focusing too much on trying to hear ground interaction and I think I get too caught up in forcing the movement again of that makes sense?
Thanks, that's a great question. If you focus on turf interaction it may shift your intention away from the shot to the impact. I'll do a Facebook live video on this on my Students of Zen Facebook page over the next few days 👍
Wow great improvement really resonates as I was like Ray. But how is he getting a 1.50 smash with a mid iron? Should be 1.33 with 7iron (PGA tour). Also see really high smash factors in other videos, lads carrying over 170 with low 80s club speed. Is it a glitch in swing speed of the tracer?
Have I seen this vid before, (it somehow seems familiar), or am I turning into Mystic Meg? Either way, it was a Brilliant watch and I can't wait to get my lesson reinstated.
Yes, well spotted! It was on Robin's channel but there's new subscribers to my new channel who won't have see it. Plus I wanted to release the whole video if people wanted to see the full lesson 👍
@@GRFGolf No probs, I just suddenly thought, "hang on I'm sure that Guy is familiar". Anyway, it was great to watch it again. PS do you know when you will be restarting your teaching sessions?
ZEN Golf Mechanic Thank you for your response. FYI..I have been struggling with ball contact...I hit behind the ball or top it most of the time. I have been trying to relax and be aware of foot pressure and be aware of swing path and face angle but so far still struggling to make contact. Teachers here so far are very traditional. P.S. I love golf but lately I have been feeling some extreme frustration at times.
Yes, there's new subscribers on my channel who may not have seen it on Robin's channel so we've reposted it and also made the full video available this time 👍
Yeah he was awesome, most people don't have his ability, awareness or affinity for playing the game like he did. There's more than one way to help people and we're trying to de-clutter the player so they can find their most optimal efficient swing without conscious effort. Ray felt this was easy. The best movements you make in life are normally the ones you don't have to think about whilst doing it.

Two videos and Zen has resurrected my swing and my game!

Excellent lesson, where do you position the ball for a draw and a fade, thank you.
Amazingly simple,
amazingly effective

Thank you
Great lesson, I need to try this. Please keep the videos coming when we get back to normality.
Why drop the club in front and feel the weight instruction, Marcus?
Like the example of throwing ball but I struggle with this as I play left handed but am natural right handed how can I get feel of
Throwing ball
It’s amazing see peoples face when they hit shot ,they never hit before
Thanks Markus. Appreciate the time. After covid will be back on the course. Gotta get back to the range asap. Cheers. Rray
Another fantastic lesson Marcus👏🏾👏🏾 Hopefully I'll be able to have a lesson with you once things return to somewhat normal 👍🏾

That's awesome, really appreciate it and so pleased it's helping you 👍
I've watched many of you videos and love them, but on a small scale have wondered why you have never adjusted anyone's grip?

@@GRFGolf thanks Marcus much appreciated
Hi Marcus, you always say let the club drop and feel the weight. Cam you explain why ?
I would love to get a lesson from him. Unfortunately I'm in the U.S but this is amazing!
And he did this all by being free and moving his feet?
@@azjones26 yes. Concentrated more on my legs and trying to hit hook/draw
it's just so damn good.

Ray clearly has great taste if he supports Arsenal :)
He is not a golf instructor, he is a magician

Hello..do you know if there is a person that teaches using this approach in Houston, Texas in the US or closest to me? Thanks.
Sorry it's a system I've developed myself and I only have 2 trainees under my mentorship at the moment

@@GRFGolf That's right! Robin's channel!!! That's it! I just couldn't remember why I've seen this before.
Great video but I agree with person being coached ; he has developed a sway to load his left heel for me 🤔
Instructor's name and location would be nice.
Please email me at marcus@zengolfmechanics.com 👍
Ernest Jones was a pro golfer on one leg one swing thoughts Swing The Club head all the other gadgets is confusions

As you say.... Arsenal fan. Unfortunate.
