Elbow power - Let your elbow add to the power through the ball…

[@user-fq1xh7bg7gJoe_Frisina]

Hi Marcus, Joe Frisina here in Bradford, PA. I started your program, Oct. 1rst 2023. By Nov. I was hitting the sweet baby draws with the driver, and I have gained 50 yards. Last time out, I hit 13 fairways right in the middle. I'm 69, and I have played 8 years. It's nice to draw the ball at will with the irons, too. Thank you, Best regards, Joe

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Fantastic! I love hearing stories like yours. I know it works but it's not that are willing to do the work. Thanks for sharing. 👍

What I wouldn’t do to sit in a bar stool next to this dude and discuss swing theory for an hour.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Let's hope that happens one day. I'll buy the beer. 🍺

Your "Circle of Speed" videos are finally helping me find a real golf swing. The drill where you swing facing the target is a game changer for feeling the correct movement and then finding it again when it starts slipping away. These "accessory" lessons like the one today will help viewers like me add power once the swing concept is fully ingrained. Thank you very much!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Love to hear it. More "circle of speed" in a week or two. 👍

[@robertedwards7468]

Straightforward and simple to understand....yet another brilliant video. Thank you 👍👍👍😃

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you enjoyed it👍

[@jamesreed9672]

Marcus your method does not stress my arthritic left thumb like the swing I’ve used for the last 60 some years. I feared I would have to give up the game because it hurt so much to hit balls, before finding your videos. Now, at 75, my enthusiasm for the game has never been greater. I’m like a kid learning the game anew, and the results are a delight. Those high, long draws are a thrill!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job and thanks for trusting me. 👍

[@jsilva7448]

Hi Marcus, great video, thank you. What I like about your teaching is that everything you teach is so natural, no unnatural positions or movements. Thanks again buddy!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I appreciate that! We normally don't need to change much to hit it good. 👍

Fantastic Marcus Your teaching is logical, to the point and somehow better each time.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you think so! I would be sad if I got worse. 🤔

[@Len_Capista]

I think another key thing about pushing with the trail hand is that it keeps you from early extending. A big teaching point today. You push towards something and pull away. If you push correctly you stay in balance naturally. Pulling can throw you way out of balance

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Absolutely. Pushing down will keep you down. Maybe it's time to repeat that in a ball striking video. 😊

[@samb55]

Helpful in my transitioning from a pull swing to a push swing. Prompted the memory that, in the 1960s, golf instruction writers criticized Jack Nicklaus for his "flying right elbow" backswing.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Interesting when someone criticize one of the best players of all time. 🤔

[@herbertwright7670]

Thanks for that tip Marcus.. Hoping to start playing again soon after my second hip replacement in a year 🙏🙏. (happy new year to you) !!! Herb 🇮🇪☘️

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks Herb, I need som luck with doctors too this year. 👍

[@herbertwright7670]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad best of good luck to you whatever you have to face Marcus 🙏🙏

[@longjohn5322]

Thanks, after yesterday’s round I needed the reminder.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

We all need reminders all the time. 👍

[@cynt1111]

Just been to the range today, my left knee has disintegrated, swung around my trail foot ball back in the stance, still did ok hopefully will play ok in winter league tomorrow.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I wish you good luck. Stay with it to make it work better and better. 👍

[@ChiTherapie]

You keep amazing me. Brilliant stuff . Thanks buddy, let's push it a little further :-))

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I hope to do that many years from now. 😊

No elbow for me big guy … let’s push on the swing plain Great visuals as always

[@John-nl2kt]

Hey Marcus great catch up. Always a pleasure hearing you about golf.. what’s your thoughts on the condition of world golf at the moment?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm not sure what you mean but I think I'ts sad that the different "tours" out there can't talk to each other. But that is the problem when that kind of money is involved. I only watch the PGA tour on TV and think they are still doing okey.

[@Jackybug]

Next time you winter in Florida setup a golf clinic and we’ll all try to get there.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I would love that one day. 😊

[@buckeye2bucks]

Count me in !

[@543whitey]

have you tried jumbo grips? Any adventage?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I have tried it but for me there were no advantage. It's like everything in golf equipment, some love it and some don't. 👍

[@543whitey]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad thanks for the reply!

[@philippedebruycker8223]

Hello Marcus, I think release is when one hand overtakes the other one (for me as a right hander, right hand overtakes the left one). The longer the club the earlier the release, right? Now that I see or resee this video, it looks to me that a good way to obtain this is by stretching my right elbow. Is this correct? Or could you give me another more simple way to get a release?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If stretching means that you want to extend the arm through impact it is correct 👍

[@DonJulioSippa]

Do you have any advise on outside elbow pain from long sessions of hitting balls

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

No, I need to get a lot more information to recommend strength training to protect your elbow. Ask a specialist in the gym you go to. 👍

[@DonJulioSippa]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad will do, thank u so much for sharing your knowledge with us it really helped me improve

[@DanielParlegreco]

Does keeping right elbow attached to side on downswing help?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Daniel. The trail elbow needs to work close to the side in to the ball but keeping it there will cost a lot of energy. Try to find a motion past the side instead of keeping something fixed.

[@barrymccarthy346]

Forget about going to Florida come to Ireland 🇮🇪 first 😅

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Maybe both. 🤔

[@stanmans]

Marcus, you make the golf swing so easy. None of this "pro teacher" nonsense. A few fundamentals and swing the club. Not much to remember. Weight shift, straight left arm, turn, shoulders, hips etc. if you do a check list before every swing, it could take up to 5 min. Your playing partners and those behind you could get very angry. 😊😊😊

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If we practice all the positions our list will be long but if we practice movement the list is short. Easy is good. 👍

[@djelalhassan7631]

Great
