DRIVER BASICS - A good plan for longer and straighter drives with a effortless feel...

Dont try to make golf easier. It will never be easy. You need to get better! Wise words mate

Hi Marcus I have given up watching videos where the title starts with the word secret . There appear to be so many secrets in golf that no one watching these videos know which secret is true. Thank you thank you so much for making me understand the correct way to swing the club without all the BS thats spoken elsewhere. This is believable, and common sense with only a change in thought process and practice to change things for the better. I promise you that at 71 i have started hitting the ball better than when i was 40.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank you my friend. I believe you and when your plan is crystal clear the shots will be the same. Go for it and keep us posted. 👍

[@mangannon1647]

I believe Steve Pratt also describes the early release in his lessons. Thanks Marcus

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Me and Steve are not to far a part. 👍

[@dougm659]

I like the tip about ball positioning to produce a draw or a fade…I’ll try that next time I’m at the range…cheers Marcus!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It all needs to be pieces in the same puzzle. Fade pieces don't fit in a draw puzzle. 👍

[@resalm62]

Marcus, your explanations a simply perfect, keep it going!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks. 🙏

[@earl4723]

I like your natural approach; I sit and chuckle listening to you, my wife hears me and ask, what are you doing?; and I reply, learning a lot. Thanks for your approach and content.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks Earl. I've heard the wife story before. She might think your crazy but it's okey to be crazy in learning. 👍

[@andystafford4463]

I have never seen any other instructor demonstrate the low point of the driver swing being so far back and to the inside like Marcus does but it is a GAME CHANGER. For me tee ball high in the middle of the stance, minimal spine tilt then swing from the inside with the low point where Marcus demonstrates, best ball striking I've had in 25 yrs of playing! (And considerably longer). Thanks Marcus

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank you, Andy. 👍

[@kymstock1852]

Using Marcus' teachings my Driver shots off the tee are more reliable and when I get it right, longer. Thanks Marcus. It is all still new to me and not 100% ingrained as a habit yet. For an older guy ( 67) and swinging at 90 m.p.h. ( +/- 5 mph) I am up there with the better players in my age bracket now .

Nice job Sir. I am glad that I could help. 👍

Rick, then you are deeper than you need and that is a good miss. 👍

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thanks!

[@IrishSpursFan]

its not going to be easy explaining to my golfing buddies that I'm hitting it miles now because I am working on bottoming out behind the ball ( driver only ) two of them witnessed today as they handed over their lunch money :)

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad to be a part of your success. Keep going. 👍

[@christopherdyer1862]

Thanks Marcus for sharing all your wisdom. Will it be easier to hit up on the driver hovering the driver as compared to having it sit flat behind the ball. Thanks again. U have helped my game alot

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Christopher. I don't think is has any effect on impact. It's more of a personal choice. 👍

[@christopherdyer1862]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you for replying. I'll give it a shot. I have an old driver to practice. Sky marks ☹️ Thanks

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@christopherdyer1862 A sky ball is a driver going down trough impact. Find the early release to give the driver time to start going up. You can do it. 👍

[@martinblom8892]

Perfect Marcus🏌️‍♂️⛳️🏋️🤓

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks. 😁

[@brianwojnar8792]

I'm new to your videos. Love your methods. How far away are you placing the three balls in front of the teed-up ball?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Welcome to my channel. In this drill we can use a distance of about 20 cm between the balls and the tee. About 8 inches 👍

[@brianwojnar8792]

Appreciate the response. Can’t wait to practice this at the range!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

👍@@brianwojnar8792

[@killianrios5951]

I notice, most of your weight at address is on your trail leg. Does this help the early release with the driver

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sadly not. Set up will never hit a golf shot. Timing is a skill that we need to practice. Exaggerate early/late until you start feeling the difference. 👍

[@Chris_Traynor]

Awesome video Marcus. I always wonder about your trigger that looks as though you hover the driver head above the ball.🤔 When I try to release as you say I sky the ball. I don’t think it’s because of hitting down. Rather I think I’m throwing the driver head under the ball. I thought maybe a similar trigger might help me counteract this. Any advice would be appreciated.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Christian. If you sky the ball your low point is very close to the ball/tee. Try to make an erlier release and get the low point a foot before impact. It is timing, nothing else. 👍

[@Chris_Traynor]

Thanks for the reply. Very clear. I will practice that.👍🏻

[@mabblers]

Hi Marcus, What's happening when you sky the ball. It goes really high and straight but not too far?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Mike. To avoid a sky ball we need to hit more up on the ball. When the lowest point in the swing are close to the ball we get a sky ball. It needs to be about a foot before impact to be effective. The release is very late. With this to understand: kzbin.info/www/bejne/j4LMlKyuiK-diqMsi=a3XDIERS2pcomi17

[@nailsforbreakfast1784]

My problem exactly holding the lag

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Release, release, realease...😁

[@murf6023]

With driver do you still have a slight rotation to start the downswing too?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

There will always be a rotation but I try to start 100% down with may trail arm.

[@monsieurcobourg]

Are you using a one dimensional swing like Moe Norman?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

No my friend. I am very far from Moe Norman. I don't think anyone can copy him. 😁

[@paul9240]

The practice swings (7:25) hitting ground before and inside of ball really are a great visual/feeling to help me get this. Great work again 👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks, I am glad to help. 👍

[@hamchillyvlog6034]

I hit driver better with this method. How can i reduce spin rate, 3500rpm at moment. I swing 100-105max club speed, Aoa + 5-7 degree lunch 16degree with a lofted 9 driver. Thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sorry my friend but it could be so many things. It sounds like your numbers are great, start with trying a new low spinn driver.

[@scottp6761]

Different low spinning shaft and use a medium level ball. Not something that spins a lot like PrOv1x. I would suggest the Callaway soft. It doesnt spin a lot and will get more distance. Also Wilson smartcore is cheap and long. If you want an amazing ball try Piper Black

[@martywize5909]

Should we always ‘hover’ the driver?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I think that’s highly personal. Find ”your” way.

[@torya400]

I either get a draw or hook. My toe is up at finish. I'm wondering if I am too inside out at impact. Or face is closed?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Tory. Something is turning the face to a closed position at impact. I can't tell you what it is without having in a lesson but start hitting a straight push with an open face and you will feel the difference.

[@torya400]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you. I will give that try. I appreciate finding a fellow fifty-year-old left-hander to learn from.

[@goathumper111]

What do you say it will destroy if we tee it too forward and low? Pof?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If you wanna hit it from the inside you will make it realy hard if you put the ball to far forward. Mostly problem with path.

[@goathumper111]

Ahh. Path. Thanks

Git gud! 💪
