Tony, thank you so much. 🙏

[@momstercrossfire]

I just discovered you and I’m blown away by the concept of using your trail hand to push harder. I’ve always thought that was bad. Tried it yesterday with my dominate hand being my trail hand, and I had some of the best contact and speed I’ve ever felt. My mind is blown! Thanks for all you do!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Welcome aboard! My tips work and I'm glad you found me. 😊

Much respect to you Marcus for taking the time to create one video for right handers and one video for left handers, advice is pure gold well done!!!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you liked it. Sometimes I will do that when it is important. 👍

[@geneczap5614]

Fantastic video. You have a way of making your words sink in to my brain. Nobody like you online. The trust you engender on here is truly worth its weight in gold. One little story: Years ago, I was hitting balls at the Studio City CA range. In the next stall was Gene Hackman, the actor, and he was slicing every drive, over and over, while his friends watched and sorta mocked him. Finally, I leaned over and asked in a soft voice "Wanta tip...?" He just stopped and stared at me. Then he tipped his head down a little toward me and I whispered "Keep your weight on your back foot". He backed off. Then he slowly took some swings. He teed up a ball and swung and hit the nicest little draw. He turned and stared at me....even I was a little shocked at how immediate the result was. Of course, over the years, buried under a million other tips, I'd forgotten the value of the back foot in driving the golf ball. Your video today again reminded me of what it FELT like to swing and really stay behind the ball. And hopefully never forget it again.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank god for Gene Hackman. 😊

Hi Marcus, I'm Glynn from the UK and have to say, you have turned my golfing career completely around, I'm doing things now I have never been able to do in my 40yrs of playing, thankyou you are amazing with how you explain the swing. 🍻👍 Glynn

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank you Glynn. 🙏

[@petecedor2852]

I learned by training for Jiu-jitsu years ago that my left side, my arm, hand and leg are lazy, not weak, just lazy. I am right handed but fairly athletic and am able to do things with both hands so a bit ambidextrous. The lazy thing impacts my golf swing, I have to consciously work my left side to get the right knee and hip action and my left hand does the lazier pulling motion that you describe so when I get tired the ball goes right and slices. This video makes me even more aware of this and the reasons for the slice, skull or shank that can happen when I get tired or don't focus enough. Thanks for the insight!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad it was helpful. 👍

[@dogloverjb6873]

I took this out to the golf course... and made sure my trail hand was faster than my lead hand and I nailed all my drives down the middle and outdrove all the men in my 4some! I passed them on to your YT channel.. if they are smart, they will subscribe to your channel. Please keep the release drills coming... the release is so important!!!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Love to hear it. Great job. 👍💪

[@lane2m]

Hi Marcus , played golf for almost 10 years. 13 handicap (great short game, poor tee to green) . Recently I have been so frustrated because after few lessons and video I was confused and not releasing the club. I could not really grasp the fact the trailing hand has to go faster than my leading and the double pendulum concept. I can really understand and relate to that (I am an engineer). On top of that I am very left handed but started to play right. I started thinking this has been the mother of all my problem since I could not really strike that ball and not hitting many GIR. Well looking at your video was a kind of fresh air and understanding something I can relate . Just did that 4 days ago and I can already start to hit better..scored 38 I’m the last comp 😊…it would take a bit of time to get really better but I can feel I found a concept I believe and relate ! Thanks

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great to hear. It took me a good year to get this to work properly but it was worth the struggle. Keep going. 💪

I am living proof that the Marcus Edblad instruction really works. I have reduced my handicap from 32 to 18 in less than a year and I'm still improving. It takes practice which Marcus has guided me through his videos. Excellent tips and a big thank you to Marcus. A+++

Aloha Marcus, Started watching your videos and applied your mindset of circle of speed and one fast one slow and took it to the course with immediate positive results. Still a work in progress with eking irons but getting there! I work at a golf retail shop and when customers ask why they are hitting it poorly- circle of speed and one fast one slow- ka-pow !! Instant swing speed, ball speed , shot dispersion and decent angle! Mahalo Nui loa! (Much thanks) Scott

[@rogerparker4468]

Been trying to swing like this for a while but with varying results. I played field hockey and cricket, and when I hit my first golf ball was a natural. However went away from this natural swing with mixed results. Am now 65 and went back to the scoopy handsy release swing. Just discovered your channel and just love how your teaching meshes with how I want to swing the golf club. Am using this swing setup for driver to putter now. Feel like I get better looks at my targets now, and if I want to play a cut/ fade just move my ball position forward. Amazed at how vertical my flop shots go. Still working on it but definitely improvement on distance. 150 yd PW. Driver still work in progress.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job, Roger. Let's get better together. 👍

[@geneczap5614]

Superb. As usual. I don't look at any other vids anymore.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Wow, thanks. I really appreciate that. 🙏

[@cynt1111]

Faldo would hit 4 iron 8 iron until the rhythm was the same. I still do the same today. Leaving the weight on my trail side is the best change i’ve made in 30 years.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

That's why I try to always jump between long and short clubs. In my case Driver and Pw. 👍

[@pedroc6823]

Had very good success today using this technique. I watched a video you mentioned your shaft was softer. Can you cover the shaft it’s self And possibly how do you work on the pivot. I recently injured my SI joint so my trail hip was very tight not so mobile., So I practiced driver today with minimal to no pivot just the early release, and I was shocked how far I hit for me., Thanks so much and great to see you healthy.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Armspeed is the key to club speed and the pivot is normally decided how you move your arms. I will see if there is a video in there but here is more about the club: kzbin.info/www/bejne/mZCQoZiPlqusqrssi=M-sP1HYv_kwCwVgj

[@pata9503]

I really enjoy these. I especially like that you use what i call unifying moves. Simple things that make all the other moves (like rotation) happen without thinking about them.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you enjoy it! Thanks. 👍

[@lazylazenbyproductions]

Many thanks for all your help throughout the years. I still struggle greatly in one area of my game however: putting. Could you please make a series on this topic? Thank you!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm thinking about doing a series about putting but I'm not ready with the packaging of that yet. Let's see what the future brings...

[@user_1664]

To be honest marcus i had seen this video previously and didnt like the concept of releasing early/ throughout the downswing as ive always tried to hold on to it and release through impact . After trying so very many things recently to get the power i know im creating through the ball with so very many disheartening results i finally decided to try it and to try to release right from the top … the immediate change was how quickly it synced up my arms and body , but arms leading for a change , it basically feels more like how i hit driver when im comfortable with it , but i could never find it on the bad days .Bloody genius marcus 👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm glad you finally trusted me enough to try it. It's not genius it's natural. We never hold anything, we hit everything. 😁

[@Chris_Traynor]

The effort you've made in creating such a wonderful video, taking care to communicate the information in a logical way, and including the 'how' and 'why' behind these skills really come across in this insightful video! This 'why' is often superficially stated in instruction and I am sure, therefore, that people will see how valuable this is! What I loved about this was the comprehensive overview you gave, relating the short game, irons, and driver. That really helps put the instruction in context I feel, which is what makes me 'buy-in' to it! I enjoyed this so much that I even watched the left-handed version as well!!😀 Love your choice of wording analogies are also helping my concept. 'Only having a 1st serve with Driver' really helps put things in perspective!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks Chris. Your progress will always be my motivation. 🙏

[@casTingcall07]

I’m really enjoying your videos! Went out today and hit some really nice tee shots! Nice draws… And of course the push shots. Still a work n progress. My irons are becoming more solid again, lost in the decades past,lol. Last hole today, playing friends putting 10 on the hole. Tough hole for me and I was the only one to par the that hole and pocket the money! I shared your page with them! I’m a fan of your page!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job my friend. Glad to hear about your progress. 👍

[@robinp4445]

Great video. Glad random guy at golf course mentioned your name. I REALLY like your tip about practicing wrong and right swing paths to know the difference. For me I pull hard with left arm and it’s not good, my right hand comes over top my left and toe of club points way left. So I practice that and then do it the right way with toe of club pointing more up. Driver is still a challenge but saw some improvements, didn’t hit usual push shots or slices, instead now dealing with low pull hooks/draws. Feels like I need to swing in to out more with toe of club going upward. Thanks again, looking forward to more videos.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks for your great job. Yes, keep going with your work on toe out and up. You are on your way to something good. 👍

[@RickMansur]

What a video! You won't see this instruction anywhere. Awesome job. Oh and it works!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great to hear! I see it work wonders every day. 👍

[@767driver]

My miss with the driver is more a straight right push with a little bit of slice. Goes a long way in wrong direction. Really enjoy your analysis.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Then your swing is in good condition but your timing needs a little work. Watch this video: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKsqJ-FnLKDgtEsi=ZQNTXJtArjpMXoB1

[@edmund415]

I like the driver warm up swings. I hit the slice when the body turns ahead of the arms, as you described so well. Good advice all around. Thank you.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Edmund. Exaggerate your trail arm work from the top and you will find better drives. If we understand how timing affects our golf shots we can learn to hit any golf shot we want. 👍

Hi, Marcus, For par 3, I use higher tee and irons and try to swing the ball high insteaed of down, the result is great.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

We are all different. I can't do that. 😊

[@sorenolsson7597]

Interesting! I’ve been working hard to GET RID OF my scooping for several years, being right handed but playing from the left. Almost all training sessions I’ve had have focused on that, as the general idea is that you should deloft to compress the ball - with irons that is. Your approach is certainly a paradigm shift. I will try it to see if it’s possible to achieve length AND consistency.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Go for it. The push down to the ball will square up the club and the extension/scoop will keep the club face stabil.

[@simonggreen7383]

Hi Marcus, just wanted to say a big thank you for your videos and tips, always had the distance with my irons but a lot less with driver, started to swing to impact earlier and it was the reason! Numbers are so much better now, so thank you very much 👍

[@Technical_debater]

I know ! I was just being funny 😂. Thank you for even thinking about doing it right and left handed !

[@casTingcall07]

Enjoying your videos, can’t quite get that x inside to out an up move working yet. I did find the ground again target side of the ball, many years since my mind would allow it after playing in the rain and the club slipped and wrecked my right wrist. But, I only got there by a very hand focused fast wrist hinge in the back swing. Also gained some yards back, but no where near the good old days!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Keep going. All golfers I meet can do it but only 10% put in enough work to own it in the future.

Great person but I don't remember if we competed against each other. He was a coach a few times when I went to worlds.

[@RWCARC]

Hi Marcus, I'm new to your channel and thoroughly enjoying your captivating content in this video. I'm particularly impressed by your use of the golf mat to illustrate the hand pressure during the forward swing. Have you considered creating a video that focuses on the opposite side of the mat? This would greatly assist me in comprehending the hand pressure dynamics during the backswing. I've noticed that my most powerful swings occur when I intentionally introduce a bit of hand lag as I initiate my swing. Consequently, I believe that during the backswing, maintaining pressure towards the fingertips of each hand might be crucial. I understand this might not align with your teaching approach, but I wanted to explore the concept of contrasting forces in the forward swing, similar to slow hand versus quick hand, starting from the backswing. I may be delving a bit too deeply into this, but I can't help it-I'm an engineer, after all! 😄

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Randal. I'm also an engineer and I always try to simplify things. 😊 We don't hit the ball in the back swing and the variety of different back swings on tour is crazy. Going forward the good players look a lot more similar to each other. I made a series about the back swing but we always need to make room for a personal touch. Start here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rHe9apx_rs2sf9Esi=AeVI7auBbDWehRh8

[@Imtheverdant1]

Thank you for bringing a Sage approach to the golf swing. Would you recommend an Isometric workout using the first exercise shown in your video? Placing the club against a fixed object.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

For feel it's really god but I'm not sure about it as an exercise. We can do the same thing with a long grip in the gym and move the trail hand back and forward to learn the motion. I will show some exercises in November when the winter season starts.

[@patmiller1762]

It seems to me that when you say one fast hand and one slow hand, you are really talking about. One fast arm, and one slow arm. It feels like my lead arm doesn't move during the down swing. Maybe I'm wrong. On another note, when I intentionally swing my driver from the inside. I drop kick almost every time. Any videos to help me with this. I love you instructions. I'm playing a lot better golf swinging your way.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Yes, what moves the hand is the arm and what moves the arm is the muscles in the shoulder. Why I mostly say fast hand is because we don't need to know the details. If you want to move your hand your arm will do that. Find the thought that works best for you. I rarely see anyone drop kick there driver but I would start looking at ball position and tee hight. A to low tee or a ball position to far forward makes it impossible to hit the driver from the inside. Good luck my friend. 👍

[@lesterdavidoff9869]

Thanks for the videos. Anecdotally; At a local course my friend and I were put with 2 others. One of them was out of shape, had terrible form and a swing that was not circular. But with a lousy swing he put the middle of the head of the club squarely on the ball and it just flew of the tee or the grass. Some people have an amazing hand-eye coordination! Can you practice that ?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Good question. That can be a good video. We can absolutely train our hand eye coordination. 😊

[@stevedeshaies7308]

Your lessons are very insightful Marcus! I'm switching from a stack and tilt(mainly shoulders) swing type where I'm losing power every year as I get older - 57.. I think your hand movement style is the way to go as we age for sure. Much less wear and tear on the body. I've already gained yardage within one week. 7 iron 160+ from 145 ish. One question I have in regards to what I see in most of your videos, is why do you lift the club above the ball about 2 to 4 inches before every shot. So you start at ball height, and right before you start your backswing, you lift the club up above the ball a little. You do it very consistently, just wondering the reason for it. Thank you very much.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Why not with driver instead of turning and staying on back foot just push off the trail foot to the lead foot and then swing the pendulum from that lead leg post thus eliminating lower spinal twist

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@thefishnmusician9667 We should always move to the lead foot but it happens later when we want to hit up on the ball.

[@deal1619]

Marcus. When swinging. Do you look at the ball all the way from backswing to followthrough? Thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

No I don’t. Just before impact I normally start moving my eyes from the ball to the target. 🎯

Hi Marcus. Really liked Stay Down Video but, apart from 3 Cleveland wedges, I have no irons. Only hybrids 3-PW. Does this video apply to my 7-PW hybrids? Thx. David

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. To make this you don't need to copy my ball position but it needs to be in a position that you still can reach it from the inside.

Stay on one side. Because you are turning it could look like the lead side but that only happens if you stop turning before impact. Watch this:kzbin.info/www/bejne/onPSfqOYgKZ0q80si=LelBhJ33UAsGIT8U

[@jasonbourne488]

Thanks for this Marcus. I understand your emphasis on the hands but doesn’t the body also have a role in the power of pushing? That is, it’s not just the hands OR the body but rather the hands AND the body?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It's always both but we don't need to ask for help from our body. If you push against anything with your hand. If you push gently it's mostly arm and hand but when you increase your force your body will aid that motion. It doesn't work in the opposite way. I can rotate my body a whole day without my arms and hands doing anything. That's the core of my golf shots. 👍

[@brodygoalie]

Looks like you are aiming right with your shoulders and feet? Please advise.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Maybe the camera angle, I normally are square or slightly open at set up. That gives me the best chance to use the speed/power I get from the trail side.

[@mgrassodirector]

Hi Marcus, good to see you again. As I've said in my previous comments, I am left-handed but play right-handed and it's very difficult for me to feel like I'm pushing with my right. What is working is concentrating on my left hand release which is similar to your 'scoop' move. To accomplish this, I feel as though my left forearm begins to rotate over shortly after I begin my downswing. I magnify that with my left wrist making a 'snapping' maneuver. This gets the club shaft out and eliminates any chance for a chicken wing. Does this make sense?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I need to see it and see the ball flight to give you an accurate answer. If you get the ball flight you want it is working but I think you can get a lot more speed when your right hand wakes up.

[@froilablab8323]

Kindly position the video infront of you while you strike or hit the ball with ur driver

[@neckupfitness3274]

I don't want to obsess on the grip, but you say you have a "weak" lead hand grip. I get that. Is your trail hand grip considered weak or strong? I have heard people talk about the trail hand and it seems to be opposite....in other words, a "weak" trail hand grip looks and feels "strong" in comparison to the lead hand. Am I overthinking this? Lol! Or should one put palms facing, so in essence BOTH hands are weak? Confused. Let me know. I often feel that my trail hand does well slightly "thumb up".

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

No problem, there are a lot of golfers that overthink the grip. Other instructors I discuss with say the grip is being weak but for me my grip is strong. It suits the way I wanna hit the ball. The palm of my trail hand faces the target and the back of my lead hand is almost facing the target. Both my hands are considered week but it's the grip that works for me and that you should think about. What feels best for you. What grip makes you feel the strongest when you hit a ball?

Practice-Practice-Practice and slowly I am beginning to feel. 😉

That's the only way to do it. Keep going. 💪

Marcus, when I stay back with the upper body and swing to the right wirh driver my lower back takes a beating. Any comments on how you can protect the lower back and still stay behind the ball at impact without all the backward tilt?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

We all need to rise up through the ball if we want to maximize our driver shots. I strength train my abdominal muscle to protect me from over extended and that is the only thing I can recommend. Plan B could be to hit down with the driver and hit more like an iron shot with it but it will have a negative effect on distance.

[@thefishnmusician9667]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I think pushing off the lead foot will eliminate the twist and not falling back on my back foot tyring to stay back while turning my hips. My abs are strong as I work them with weights. I still managed to strain. What about raising the lead shoulder to the lead ear instead of twisting as much on the follow through?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@thefishnmusician9667 Somehow we need to put the brakes on the speed we generated through the ball. Your arm speed will always make you rise and bend backwards. I can only see one solution and that is to try to restrain how much you bend and that is a job for your abs.

[@robertlingwood3304]

what grip do you use a 10finger grip or overlap grip

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

The same overlap the last 20 years. 😊

[@MrTonyMonteiro]

Hi Marcus - I’ve been averaging 3-7 degrees in/out and 2-5 deg.up but now I’m hitting the heel nearly ever time with the driver. Any suggestions to stop hitting the heel when swinging in/out? Thanks so much.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Swingpath is NOT the reason. You can miss the ball completely with any swing path. Put an obstacle by the ball that forces you to move the strike further out to avoid it or take a pen and put a dot on the toe part of the face and move your mental impact, you will see a good effect.

[@richardc6932]

Many thanks for the right handed version. One question I have is, it appears from the angle I am viewing the final segment that your trail foot is back of the target line. This is a closed stance to me. Do you recommend that angle in order to swing more inside to put or is it just the angle of the camera? I understand the in/out swing but struggle with the ball placement and foot alignment (old school teachings).

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. My stance is always opened more or less to the target otherwise I can't hit any good golf shots. Camera angles are a problem in videos. I don't recommend closed stance, it blocks the trail side from going forward.

[@richardc6932]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdbladthanks for the speedy feedback. As a right handed golfer if I understand you correct, you recommend a slightly open stance left of the target line or parallel to the target line. Thanks again. I like the circle of speed if I can just accomplish it after many years of listening to old school instructions.👍🇨🇦👨‍🦳

@@richardc6932 You CAN do it. Everyone I meet during 15 years as a full-time instructor can do it but only 10% practice until they make it there own. Go for it. 💪

Hi marcus been applying your methods for two weeks now…. My stock yardages increased atleast 10yards carry thru the bag.. though i naturally swing the club inside out.. my problem is with the driver.. i draw the ball, but the launch angle is very low somewhere around 8 degrees only.. my swing speed is around 108-112 mph.. which video of yours can help me with this issue? Thanks! And get well soon!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Do you hit it low with a hook or straight?

[@padyakerongbula]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad very low with a hook.. i think the face is delofted when it arrives to the ball

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@padyakerongbula The club face is turned down and that will always be a hook if you use a good release. Watch this to understand more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2WfqOvgrCehMUsi=XfxjbN9AHMvNzI7q

[@josephstone2280]

So for any swing, pull back with the right arm then push the right past the left arm? And the left arm just goes along for the ride?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It's a two hand game. We need to let the lead arm understand that pulling forward will be bad for speed and efficiency.

[@josephstone2280]

Sorry to beat a dead horse but I don’t understand when you do and don’t use your left arm.

[@ferdinando5313]

Hi Marcus, i'm improving following your guide, but if i release so early with the driver i top the ball or even i miss it though i tee high. I need to release later. Where am i mistaken?👋

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If we place the ball to far forward or use a to short tee, this could happen. I almost never see that the early release is the problem. 👍
