Get a better smash factor with your driver…

If you practice with a smaller head but from a high tee you will instantly get better and find the sweet spot more often with your driver. It’s called confidence 😊
Online lesson are now a possibility on Skillest: skillest.com/a...
Let me help you get an effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. I call it the circle of speed. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook. How to swing a golf club need to be adjusted to your skill level and experience.
Long and straight is the goal for everyone but it takes time. Try to focus on one thing not everything when you practise. Impact, face control and swingpath will always be the most important part to drill. We focus too much on rotation but no good golf shot will be executed just by rotating.
I’m naturally right handed but all my tips works for both left handed and right handed golfers.
We also need to understand that many myths in golf are misleading. Everything that you find on the internet isn’t true. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead are two of the legends that are often misunderstood.
We shall not keep our head still, only start with the hips, look only at the ball or keep the left or right arm straight.
If you use callaway, ping, titleist or taylor made clubs doesn’t matter you can learn to hit good golf shots. Your loft or your shaft on the club will not change but you can always get better.
Find what inspires you. Golf basics are the same for everyone. The pga tour, longdrivers or other good golfers can all help you find better golf shots. Watch what they do instead of listed to what they say. Listen mostly to your body and figure out what you need to do to produce the same results as the pros on TV. Be careful when you watch a golf swing in slow motion. The result isn't always what the golfer is trying to do. Feel and real are seldom the same.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway, Pete Cowen and Steve Pratt are some of my favorite golf instructors online. Find the tips that make your golf better. Decide what you want to hit. I teach a draw but many like a fade and nobody likes a hook or slice.
Your hips or your lag is not the key to golf. Your hands will decide the shot and you can do like Tiger Woods and trust your hands. Teach your hands to hit different shots. Hit big hooks and slices to understand what happens. Only straight is not gonna teach you anything.
Bryson Dechambeu and Kyle Birkshire can inspire you to hit it longer. Tiger Woods and Phil Mickelson can give you inspiration and motivation to test new things and new golf shots. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
The Masters, Players Championship, The Players, The Open and US Open can make you love golf even more. See the best in the world solve all the problems we all need to master any golf course. Golf is a craft and you need fantasy, feel and skills to master it.

Thanks for all of the great videos.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank you my friend. 🙏

[@rickrocketts183]

I always tee up the ball with my foot since finding your channel.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Saves your back. 👍

[@christophecollinson7580]

Love your comment about doing the same thing each time and not getting better... Albert Einstein said "insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results" He must have been a PGA golf instructor 😂. Thanks Marcus, a dose of reality always helps.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Well said!👍

[@dogloverjb6873]

funny...ever since I started teeing the ball up with my foot like you at the range, ...people stop and watch me thinking I must be pretty good... Ha!!!!!!🤣

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

You are good. 😊

[@steveh7704]

Thankyou Marcus, since following your videos my golf has greatly improved. I am hitting the ball longer usually with a little draw. I have dropped around ten strokes and golf is so enjoyable now. I feel the golf swing is so easy and free now. My head isn't full of so many swing thoughts which used to inhibit my swing. Thankyou.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job. Thanks for sharing your success. 👍

[@zwiguy9494]

I like your take on making things harder for yourself to learn. My first set of clubs were “game improvement” irons and I’m so happy that I bought some forged “players” irons. Yes I hit it worse on day 1 but the feedback I was getting from my misses allowed me to improve

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Good thinking my friend. 👍

[@emundy9668]

Hi Marcus! Tried this the other practice, and let's say the pucker factor the first few swings was off the charts 😅. I hit driver in the same session and saw an increase in ball speed. Your method is the truth!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job. Keep going. 👍

[@jsilva3386]

This is great, I’ll wrap tape around the club head until I get proficient with this drill so I don’t worry about nicking up the club head, thanks again Marcus, another goal!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Use an old club. I did in the beginning. 👍

[@bayougolf7524]

What’s that shooting saying …”smaller the target the smaller the miss” It’s the reverse here …using the smaller 3W face off the tee brings in the sweet spot of the bigger face of the D …spot on Practicing to hit driver after using the 3W is a reward move … I like the concept…small to big You’re right …being lazy and the golf swing … not going to work Thank you Markus

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks my friend. 👍

[@dirkhardpec7881]

Can't believe you expect me to practice golf to get better at it Marcus, what kind of crazy talk is that 🙂

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Not just practice, make practice extra hard. 😁

[@davidbarnard2716]

as usual Marcus, your instruction makes perfect sense, thank you.

Love to hear it. 👍

[@chiefbrody3406]

Stop using common sense Marcus it’s very unpopular these days 😉

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I know but I can't stop it. 😱

[@tenniyoe1201]

Hi Marcus!, thanks again for your help, I just have a question about loft on the driver, do you recommend adjusting higher or lower on the driver?, my driver can be adjusted from 9.5 - 12 degrees of loft. I hope you're doing great 👍🏻

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. I can't recommend you to change/keep your driver loft without seeing you hit some golf balls and watching the ball flight. It depends on many different things and I don't want to guess.

[@milo74156]

Wow thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

You’re welcome 😊

[@thaynes1963]

Interesting perspective, but so simple in concept!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you think so!👍

[@thaynes1963]

Update...I took this tip to the driving range...Hit a handful of balls off of a high tee with the 3 wood. hit some pop ups, wicked hooks and then some bombs strait down the middle. I then moved to the driver and every swing was good contact. Strait, fades and draws...all would have been playable....Thanks!

[@michaelberounsky8134]

Why can I hit my 3 wood as far as my driver, it's very frustrating...

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I need more information to be helpful but if you hit down with both your 3-wood will probably beat your driver.

[@johnstarkey8126]

Marcus I'm R/handed and using your method I feel like the left hand is just holding onto the club doing nothing and everything comes from pushing the right hand and elbow am I correct with this it's certainly how I feel

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. I think we need to teach both hands/arms to do there task. I don't think we can escape that. But your power should be coming from trail arm/hand. 👍

[@Chris_Traynor]

Profound!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

[@jaychand8504]

Hi marcus, im playing with 8 degree driver and strike is good definitely hitting up with early release but my ball flight is way too high so losing distance, do you think i need a lower lofted driver? Thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It sounds strange. The high spin needs to come from somewhere. I can't recommend anything without getting more information. Normally it's very hard to hit a modern driver too high. I can hit a 10 degree and still get good distance.

[@jaychand8504]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad any ideas what could be causing high spin? I tee it up high using 4inch tees, I get a nice draw just the ball balloons up, I'm not sure what could be causing this

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@jaychand8504 I went to my studio and used a 9 degree driver and the only way for me to get spinn over 3500 rpm (with a draw) is to hit the to high on the face or totally stop my hands at impact and putting insane amount of loft on the club.

[@jaychand8504]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I did record myself swinging and what i notice was my hands are very active on the downswing but slows down towards the ball, almost like all the speed is gone after I've hit the ball, maybe a bit of casting?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@jaychand8504 The lead hand slows down but the trail hand need to accelerate all the way trough the ball. Good analyze. 👍

[@orkayen]

Thanks for sharing. At the beginning of the back swing, I noticed that the club face is inside of the target line (not in alignment) and is open. Is it due to the club positioned across the body (right to left for Left-handed)? I was trying to align the center of the club with the target with sq face with the club positioned across my body (left to right - R/Handed) and was slicing.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. We need to separate the two things you're asking about. 1. The slice is in my opinion only bad timing. If you release early enough it will not happen. It can become a hook if we do it badly but it will not slice. 2. How you start will never give you perfect golf shots. Your body positions are completely different from setup to impact and alignment will not help if we can't execute the shot we want to hit. My club is always open at adress but I still hit a draw. We can learn to feel the club face if we do some simple practice. Watch these two videos and do the drills: 1. kzbin.info/www/bejne/manSkp2tac-hqbssi=TtLh-XIG7fP73UOA 2. kzbin.info/www/bejne/f4nPeJ2ArqmIjbssi=-KrWBUu52kgVmCiH
