How to INSTANTLY Add Club Head Speed to your Golf Swing

In order to accelerate, you need to be able to stop. If you put Ford Fiesta brakes on a Ferrari, you'd have all this acceleration and speed you wouldn't be able to use (without crashing anyway)! So here's a couple drills that help us to tap into this deceleration in the golf swing and allow for us to not only gain distance instantly but also gain control over our swing, ZEN Golf Mechanics style.

I've been waiting for this one. This is my all time favorite! I've watched a lot of Zen Golf videos but this one consolidates everything you teach. This should be the first video everyone watches to understand Zen methods and techniques.

[@GRFGolf]

Thanks, Mike! Appreciate the feedback 👍

[@ActiveAdultsFitness77]

Yep this one explains best how to create effortless lag using weight transference. My biggest issue is keeping hands, wrists, arms and shoulders relaxed enough to let them freewheel through to a nice balanced finish. May way steel Jack Nicklaus waggle and swing trigger, he seems a decent player to model

[@GheenoeLifeLT25]

Like everyone’s comments. I’ve seen plenty of your videos and this one tied it all together for me 👏

[@roadtoscratchgolf3481]

Fantastic demonstration of how the body moves naturally in a golf swing. No need to try to hit positions in the swing, it happens automatically when you let your body do want it is built to do. As always, love your teaching. You are the true guru of golf instruction. Other instructors should pay you to be taught this way of teaching golfers.

[@ADD_ition]

You should have at least 500k subs man. I've been missing this "feel" for as long as I've played. Spent thousands on lessons and this is the best beta I've seen on the golf swing.

[@alexBaldman]

Oooo this one is VERY zen - that concept of the car stopping and inertia throwing you is one of my favorite simple golf thoughts

[@PaulPGR]

Shortly, people WILL realise that the is the No1 channel on You Tube etc. same guidance time after time without changing an iron swing just to make the next video different from the last. Well done!

[@johnfish3842]

One of the best demonstrations of the ideal golf swings ever.

[@crispyduck1706]

Marcus this has to be the best video you have ever done and that’s against some pretty stiff competition - great work buddy

[@GRFGolf]

That's kind of you to say, Crispy Duck also happens to be one of the best despite some tough competition! 🤪

Okay so I thought I was somewhat educated with this thing we love called golf but watching and listening to you has made me realize that I am only in the 2nd grade lol! GREAT stuff my man and I have found a new coach! Again I would definitely make it a point to take a vacation & fly across the pond to get a couple of days with you. Seriously, do you know how good your stuff is lol!

[@jamespatterson4492]

I have subscribed to your videos..I am 72yrs young..8.5 index...you have given me a literal "fountain of youth" with this video...stopping the accelerating club and using the vertical power in my legs has rejuvenated my golf swing..I am a youtube junky..I have for years gone to the first tee armed with a myriad of videos that I practice in my garage..and so far they have all been Band-Aids. that work for a short time and then fall off..but you have given me the ah..ha...moment for my golf swing..I wish I could afford a lesson..but no matter..I have a net and mat plus a Garmin R10 monitor..and I love to practice...now I practice with a purpose..I can now delete all the other subscriptions I have...thanks so much, Jim

Lovely, very thoughtful of you to point out the issues with rope or towel dynamics and how they don't mimic the real golf club dynamics and the biomechanics involved. Thanks for the clarification.

[@garyvale8347]

I amazed how similar the examples of the " lack of power " swing without deceleration and the " pressure shifted " swing with deceleration look to the observer .......I am trying hard and have watched this video multiple times to grasp that " pressure shifted " deceleration feel, trying to add power and distance..... ( currently my best 7i carries an average of 120yards , with a club head speed only in the mid 70's ) .....I have been practicing indoors daily, trying to improve during the winter months by swinging a short club and feeling that pressure shift ......thanks much Marcus .......

[@Bencursons1]

Another great video. My strike has improved so much more from watching your content. Love the natural approach to the sport over the manufactured coaching, (trying to achieve certain positions). It never worked for me and I always thought it made very little sense to teach in that way. 👍

[@Robert-ts2ef]

Great video but you need to explain how the arms work in the downswing, do they stay with the body with a bit of side bend or do you mentally drop them first so as not to have an out to in swing?

[@staticstephen]

Great video I'm always spreading the zen love keep up the good work 👍

[@GRFGolf]

Sending some long and ZEN back your way too

[@permission2rock494]

Wow. You got me out of a rut. Love the primitive nature of applying pressure . I’m a 53 year fit ish tennis coach. Got my 7 to carry 165 wind not helping. But love the fluidity. Although my dad indicated I was getting all this power with half a swing so not sure how I should try and increase length of backswing. But this is a really good lesson. Thankyou

[@GRFGolf]

You can try and lengthen the time it takes to shift pressure to influence swing length but to be honest if you swing it short, you swing it short! Always good to play around with things and experiment but that may be your natural action

[@tomhusseyin7254]

Excellent video Marcus. I notice that Dr Kwon teachings seem to be very well aligned to yours and often on his videos people mention you and Zen in the comments. Do you know of his work? If so, do you find your philosophies to be similar. Both seem to be excellent ways to learn free flowing rhythmical motions. Very impressive

[@heydeereman1040]

WOW! What a challenge!

[@GRFGolf]

Gotta be in it to win it 😉

[@grahamjones7371]

Great video as usual,right arm only swings helped me get down to 3 hcp,but not quite in the way you describe.Whilst feeling the wrists and clubhead release is a valuable skill to learn, but in IMHO its not what the great ball strikers do, well at least not since the invention of steel shafts! As Hogan said in his book,if you hear someone talking about wrist action you know they're amateurs.Great ball strikers use all the great techniques and drills you describe in your great videos to load,maintain,substain and release the shaft through the ball giving great speed and stability at impact.

[@harrygunther5100]

Superb video....thankyou

[@barking_mad6649]

I was surprised to see how early pros begin to shift their pressure back towards target in the swing, with some doing so when the club is barely past parallel on the backswing. I think for most amateur golfers it so counter intuitive especially as the club hasn't reached the top of the swing, but as demonstrated here it's an important reason why pros hit the ball as far as they do. Also as also you point out, that shift in pressure buys you time at the top of the swing. It's a lovely feeling 👌

[@GRFGolf]

You got it, the concept of a "backswing" and "downswing" sometimes doesn't help as it can reduce it to parts when it's a whole, fluid motion

[@neils6735]

Nice video, it looks so easy, when the sequence is right!

[@GRFGolf]

Effortless when we get it! No better feeling 💥

[@garyflesher1752]

Very impressive. Makes sense out of a tough sport.

Thanks Gary! We're all just trying to make sense out of it all, glad I could have helped slightly

I saw the other video, there is rotation before you jump, where is the rotation here?

[@DonJohn81]

Amazing

[@GRFGolf]

Cheers, Donald

[@markpassell8379]

F=ma , lower body contributes more to the mass than the acceleration. The release is the main source of acceleration

[@filprocter7318]

Them old school loggers that used the hand saws to cut trees would have a good golf swing!! They really used there lower body to work them saws

[@GRFGolf]

Might have to take up a new hobby 😉

[@markdehne]

My Backswing is too short already (when I watch it on video),so when I try to seperate and start the pressure-shift early, i´m afraid, it even gets shorter and i don´t turn the shoulders enough.

[@GRFGolf]

Create more momentum going back so you increase your hip and torso rotational range. Take a look at some earlier tutorials on rotation 👍

[@marcussheldon9220]

Hi you talk about natural movements which makes sense but I see you roll release through impact, try and throw a ball with the same roll release …..?.. is this natural?

[@bradleyrounds9148]

Throwing body mass..excellent Like Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch.

[@sebbyelvis9287]

I just don't understand the forward and backwards motion you speak about. Your drill is to step to the side with each foot and then swing the club!? Doesn't stepping to each side move mass rather than pressure? I struggle with swaying because i don't understand the forward and backwards movements with the feet.

[@GRFGolf]

Not if you're using the ground, mass will inevitably move but the idea is that we use the force from the ground to shift that mass

[@sebbyelvis9287]
