Longer and straighter in minutes - Ignore the target…

If you exaggerate the thought of swinging out and ignore the target, you will easier hit a long high draw. The longest shot in golf.
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 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.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway 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.

outstanding stuff! Best wishes for your health

[@robinp4445]

Thanks Marcus. Used to be huge slicer with driver now all shots draw (or hook as I learn). I focus on “swinging on one side” of body, swinging way right, and releasing without turning over the hands (that cause hook). Can’t describe how GOOD the feeling is of seeing a high, low spin, slight draw. I’m gonna keep working to ingrain these concepts so I can keep seeing this ball flight. Thank you!

[@richyclubsport5155]

When i first followed your channel, took me several months of practice, to have the confidence to swing several degrees out to the right in my case with my driver. Once i was comfortable and took it to the course it added 25 years to my drives, very useful extra yards at almost 70

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job! I say in every driver video that we need to exaggerate to have any chance to swing inside to out. The harder the work the bigger the reward.

[@mpb1472]

Going to work diligently on this off season coming up. Thanks for another great video.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sounds good. Let's get better together. 👍

[@dougm659]

I like the simplicity of your style of teaching Marcus. One good analogy I saw another teacher use when explaining how to draw a golf ball was to think about hitting a top spin shot in tennis or table tennis, imagine the racket/bat face swiping around the ball rather than hitting it straight on with a flat racket/bat face.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Doug. I will do a video "tennis vs golf" because top spin will turn in to a hook in golf. We use the right muscles but the turning down of the face will give us a low hook. Every year I fix many "tennis" players. 😊

[@jamespark3399]

Good tips again. When I swing out I tend to let my hips go forward ending up with a push or push fade!!!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

That comes from pulling out. Try to change to a trail arm push and your hips will change motion. 👍

[@Chris_Traynor]

So candidly explained Marcus! You have a great talent for that! I had a similar liberating thought once: everybody worries about clubface and swing going straight, so I did the opposite, where I tried to accentuate massive over-exaggeration of different swing movements and, yes you hit some bad shots, but actually most of them go generally forward and in play. Then ironically it is easier and less stressful on self-expectations to hit perfectly to target. However, i am 5hcp but not high swingspeed, so I assume this approach may work less well for high swing speed players?? Just got 4 inch tees to practice hitting ‘up and out’ a lot 🔥 ✊🏻😂

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sounds like you're on your way to discover a lot of good stuff. Keep going. 💪

[@Chris_Traynor]

Hope so!! Ive been out today and it’s a bit cold in Scotland but the ball is going the usual distance off the 4inch tee but with almost no effort. Ball flight is way better and higher too, even though I usually struggle with height. Definitely works thank you! 🙏🏻

[@jimmystewart58]

Love your stuff just wondering do you swing towards where you want it to start? I really liked the analogy you had on one of your other video about swinging backwards got this 61 year old to finally shallow the club keep it up you are really helping in a more simple way

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Jimmy. I swing more out than I think the ball will start. It was when I started exaggerate the "out" thinking that everything started to work. 👍

[@patmiller1762]

Hi Marcus. I take it that you have recovered from your throat surgery. At least I'm hoping that is the case. My name is Patrick Miller, I am from Ohio. I've been working on using your method of swinging for a couple days now. I really like it. More speed and distance for sure. I tried Mike Austin's swing for months. Years ago. But I believe that the compound pivot screwed me up. But with your teaching, the hands and arms are what I focus on. My issue is that 3 out of 6 or 10 swings. When I swing out to the right from the inside. My ball goes straight, no draw back. Is there a video that explains this

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Patrick. I'm trying to get back from my cancer treatment but it's takes a lot more effort and time than I thought. But I will be back in the summer. Regarding your straight push. Watch this video to get the answer you need: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKsqJ-FnLKDgtEsi=l-fpzwmr6WN8r5Xg

[@gb194]

Another well explained video. Discovered this channel 3 months ago. I have always kept meticulous stats for the last 5 years. Best year for FIR was 2 years ago 61.4%, played 18 rounds since I've tried to implement the driving technique......I'm up to 69.4% FIR for those 18 rounds and getting better all the time. Question......is your driver face slightly open at address?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job. My face is open at adress and impact. Open to the target but closed to the path. Keep going. 💪

[@dry509]

I usually hit the ball in the direction of my swing…meaning if I swing out to the right as a right handed player the ball goes to the right. I don’t have enough turn. I guess to put draw spin onthe ball.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If you swing out we only need to release I n time to get a draw. Watch this video for more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eHKsqJ-FnLKDgtEsi=KnywABzxjNU-IpvF

[@dry509]

@ Thanks.

[@dry509]

@ FYI…I can’t believe how difficult golf is for me….I love playing even though I am very inconsistent…hitting fat or topping most of the time…still fun to get out there. I am in Houston, Texas where we can play a lot of the year.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@dry509 Interesting that you think you are different than everyone else. We all think it's difficult. The only way to make it feel less impossible is to put in a few thousand hours of practice and that is not what the common golfers is doing. Just keep going and keep learning my friend. 👍

[@dry509]

@ Yes…guess you hit the nail on the head…I definitely have not put in the required practice time…not even close. I need to keep that in mind. Thanks for your insights!

[@mabblers]

Marcus do you recommend standing a particular distance from the ball? Should the face of the club be facing to the target?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Watch this: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gWSyq4OVoJiaetEsi=--xjbaEnDa2S79sH

[@Mk-oy9ns]

👍 Recognising the Target,imho is the 'secret 'to golf. It ain't the ball nor the fairway/flagstick...!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

As long as we don't have the same target for that club and the ball we can hit any shot in the book.

[@lennartsandberg1568]

Very good

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad you think so. 😊

[@ZukhiniZ]

Should we lower the loft on the driver when we tee up high and hit up on the ball? I'm not a fast swinger (95-100 mph) and play 10° driver and have around 10+ degree postive attack angle. My miss is often like a tabletennis topspin or a hook.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

That is impossible to say without measuring backspinn. Hitting more up on the ball will give you less backspinn than before regardless the driver you use. Your miss tells me there are a lot of wrist rolling/turning over in your release. Watch this video and try to get more stable release: kzbin.info/www/bejne/np2WfqOvgrCehMUsi=h3yN-2x-eM9tHI79

[@ZukhiniZ]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you. I will practice on making the perfect scope

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@ZukhiniZ It works. 😊

[@toma9976]

I’m a senior golfer. I can swing fast but when I’m hitting a ball I seem to subconsciously slow down to protect my contact. Any thoughts on over coming that ‘worry’?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. Normally when this is a problem we are doing something in the swing that we need to correct on the way to the ball. The correction forces us to slow down to be able to hit the shot we want. You probably feel it somewhere halfway like a glitch and a hesitation on your way to the ball. Most often the path of the club. Try to find what it is and that will unlock your full speed swing. When your swing is healthy it will probably be the opposite and you will be faster hitting a ball.

[@kanehead7087]

U r the man

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

[@wawasurfschool]

Hi Marcus, now I’m drawing my driver all of them, thanks, one question: should i have to put my loft on lower, cause i put it at max 11,5degres ?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Good job my friend. I think you can lower it one or two degrees. Try it. 👍

[@waynedowding7168]

So will your clubface be 4 deg closed to the path if your hitting out around 8deg? or do you rotate/push your hands/wrists at impact to square clubface? cheers

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Wayne. You are correct. The face aiming between path and target usefully works fine. No twisting needed. 👍

[@markyoung3384]

Thanks for the clarification. I was just going to ask the same thing.@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

[@juh7111]

Marcus. In which direction will point the club face during the in-out swing path? To the target? Thanks

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

If we swing 8 degrees in to out we should have a 4 degree open club face at impact. Your set up could be to the target but impact should not. Watch the ball flight.

[@johnbogus5268]

Hi Marcus have you done a video on using a lob wedge on a closely cut surface, I find it very hard to do ?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Good idea, I put that on the list👌

[@Jackybug]

Marcus, Along with swinging inside to out (club path), where is your club face aligned at address and at impact ? When trying to hit inside out I have always aligned my club face square to the target line at address, but I think this may be wrong and perhaps my club face should be facing somewhat inside out at address. Can you address this in one of your presentations, thanks.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I can talk about again in the next driver video. Your club face needs to be half as open as your swing path. If you swing 6 degrees out you will hit a good draw with a 3 degree open face. You don't need to have it open at adress but I like to have it that way. 👍

[@Jackybug]

Thank you Marcus. That’s great information and clears up a lot of confusion for me. You’re the best!

[@JsaFin755]

Marcus I would also like video about this guestion. Especially how you think before hitting ball. For my brains this is really hard and I find my self very often coming in to in .

[@767driver]

Modern golf instruction says there are no straight lines in golf yet most instruction leads players to swing on a straight target line.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Haven’t heard that but I mostly see a circle 👍

[@Les-vp8si]

Same with irons? Even though we need to hit down .

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

We need to push down and out hitting irons, the up swing comes after impact. 👍

[@Les-vp8si]

Tack@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

[@Lje7]

My brain keeps saying if I swing out then my club head will also be facing out so my ball will be way off target. But I will try to get it right

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Without a release your brain is correct but this gives you an opportunity to release and create speed and hit a draw. The longest golf in golf. Go for it. 💪

[@vincentriquier7271]

[@mattthompson1063]

you said you swing in to out as much as possible then u said 8 to 12 degrees.that is a big difference

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It isn't. I try to swing as much as possible in to out but the result is 8-12 degrees. Because of the rotation/turn forward most of what I try to do disappear and what is left is 8-12 degrees. Watch this to understand more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g5nGhIGagNipptksi=nG_BIbcshrh3qyGN

[@elton71737678]

Marcus, when your swinging in to out. What is your aim point on the ball? Inside edge of ball, along your swing path, or exactly on the back of the ball towards the intended target.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I don't think at a point on the ball. I only force me to try to cross the target lin from the inside. This video explains more: kzbin.info/www/bejne/b5mpmYmHf95oa5Isi=xmEhf48mSjeRq1O8

[@richardc6932]

In order to hit a ball sitting 4 or 5 inches off the turf would require a fairly good eye to hand coordination. I don’t see anyone using a tee that long unless they are in long drive competitions. I could see myself skying a lot of my drives. I would rather change out my driver to a more lofted one and stay with 3” tees. My natural swing produces a draw of some degree, but a push or pull is a result of poor swing movement such as weight transfer / rotation for me. You have to admire what Markus does and how he demonstrates it through clear and consistent instruction.👍🇨🇦👨‍🦳

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

During five years I hit more than 300 drives every day. Anyone with that history will easily do it. 👍

[@miked1365]

Anyone who skyes the ball is swinging out and down. If you get a little draw your club face is closed. In my group of 16 golfers all seniors I am the only one who hits a high draw because I tee high! It's easy to hit from a high tee if you never ground your driver. Simply float the driver 4-6 inches behind the ball and swing up and through. Marcus had an excellent example of swing path by thumping the ground a foot behind the ball . Works great.

[@seewhy7761]
