The key move in your golf swing - The basics of a good swingpath...

[@pinganser]

I have recently discovered your videos and it is really having a dramatic effect on my game. I was a one time 8 handicap but significantly higher now. Played this week with your videos in mind and hit some of my best shots in years. Thank you. Hope your treatments go well.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Let's keep going. I try to get back to life and you continue practicing your golf. Good job. 👍

[@toddholl8881]

I am halfway through all your videos and still learning. This has changed my life! I don’t know how I even hit any good shots with all that hip rotation. From Louisiana Thanks again my friend!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks Todd. I'm glad you found me. 😊

[@toddholl8881]

@ I just found today that if I start my backswing with a more outside the line feeling that I’m able to hit the ball effortlessly. It’s kind of like the circle of speed you talk about. It is similar to a reverse loop I guess. Basically opposite of the over the top loop where people start inside and finish across the line. Would you recommend this start of the backswing? It feels really natural to me with a straight ball flight or slight draw as the result.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@ We don’t need to go outside on the back swing but if it helps you, keep doing it. 👍

[@toddholl8881]

@ Looking in a mirror It was actually the club head slightly outside my hands at the start of my backswing. It feels like its way outside because I guess my first move was setting the club head parallel with my hands on the backswing. Thanks for replying. There are no bad shots after following your advice. All shots are information!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks my friend. 👍

[@Ddecerff]

Thank you Marcus for encouraging me to think about what I am supposed to do to achieve a particular result, eg the in to our downswing -- I reversed this concept in the backswing- I swing my hands away from my body but the rotation of my shoulders “brought the club on plane” and my follow through/downswing felt effortless. I may not be getting a decent draw but my dispersion is narrower. I will continue to work on achieving the draw. Thanks again Stephen

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sounds like you are on your way. Good job. It's not easy but you will get there. 💪

[@jackspears-b8i]

I'd like to hear more about the top muscle atop the right shoulder's involvement in the downswing. Love your way of presenting the swing. Happy New Year, Marcus. Jack USA

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Jack. We need to use the muscles in the shoulder to move the arms and club down but we don't want an early rotation of the shoulder which is caused by lower body activity. Is this what you want me to talk more about?

[@lwn345]

I like that. It’s a “downswing.” Maybe I can remember this.

First move always down. You can do it. 👍

[@bayougolf7524]

Marcus I’ve been studying and implementing your teachings and my results are all very very good and this video could be the missing part of the Marcus swing to insure a correct movement I may have been doing it and correct me if I’m wrong but on the start of my downswing of the COS ( circle of speed) I hold my trail side in a feeling as my COS is going down and out to a 45 degree angle and at that point the feeling of the club is now starting to travel on my desired swing path line somewhat lesser then 45 degrees and then at that point I start to release my body to turn on my target line and try to hold the body from to much rotation enough so the club can finish my COS on my swing path and out to a high finish and not pull the shot but have a baby draw Man I hope you understood all that because feel and real is a strange combination to grasp and explain Marcus would you consider getting in into detail what muscles are you using with names of them The body is everything in the swing and I for one would like to know them and I’m sure I’m not alone here You got a lot of people motivated so let’s get into the weeds and talk about the parts that makes it all happen Knowing them and feeling them in the movement is a great understanding what the body should be doing in the Marcus swing There’s some good 3D skeleton and muscle videos on KZbin that shows the golf swing but hearing from you what makes your concept work would turn on a bunch of light bulbs … I think so do you? 👍⛳️👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm thinking about redoing some of the more important videos I have and this is one of them. Every time I talk about it I explain it a little differently and that can make a few more understand. The start of the downswing is one of the hardest part in we have in the swing and I agree, I can make this more understandable. 👍

Hi Marcus, massive fan of you and your teachings, just come back from practicing (from a cold and wet Newcastle England) used your key moves Swing Up, Down then Rotate. Started hitting quality tight draws with a 7 iron using this technique. Then went to a 5 iron and got the correct swing path with the ball starting to the right of target (I am right handed golfer) but would not draw back in- how frustating!! I keep a notebook containing all your great advice, I watch all your videos numerous times, so had a quick look and tried your fundamental tip that you want us to hit a push draw. So starting swinging with more emphasis on pushing the club with my rear arm - Success !! began hitting a long high draw. Please keep up the good work - Merry Christmas to you and your family Cheers Martin

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Martin. Great work. 👍 The longer the club gets just keep pushing earlier and more. Merry X-mas. 🎅🏼

[@broadoak2006]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Great advice Marcus many thanks 😄

[@Ipdex]

Incredible game this. Your actual swing path is just inside but what you are teaching us is a feel that comes from somewhere around 30deg inside!! I applaud your coaching sir, definitely what we 'feel isn't real' but you're putting us on the right path with solid and simple explanations and coaching. Thankyou. Russell, A Brit 🙂

Thanks Russel. If we exaggerate our thinking we can get some of it in real life. 👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm on the right track and will do an update soon. 👍

[@warrenp8877]

I have been working with your swing concepts for about 2 months. I was making great progress but felt something was missing. I have always suffered with a spinout on my low confidence days. Even with your swing concepts I had spinout holes too often. Since I have a massive playlist of your videos l kept going back looking for what I was missing. My eureka moment came when I took your "push the club away from the target" seriously and tried it in practise. My very first hits were amazing. Straight, high, far, shallow, and no spinout. I even am beginning to see the odd draw shot. Looking at it logically now I realize why. My lead side has no inclination to start the downswing by pulling if I need to keep weight on my trail side to support a backward cast of the club. Now I recognize a spinout as a failure to fire away from the target. Now l can correct that flaw on the next swing as I know it was a focus flaw, not a process misunderstanding. You were correct in your videos when you said the brain has to understand before the body cooperates on the task.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks for your question. I will now read them all and try to decide which to choose. 😊

[@ConClarke]

Marcus your downswibg and turn video is very informative. My big problem with driver was hands ahead of ball and open clubface😖. Your video has me on the right track and I take it, it is same process for all clubs? Do you play golf in Ireland? CC, Dublin, Ireland.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad to help but remember to do a much bigger change with the driver than any other club. It was a few years ago I visited Ireland but I loved it. 👍

[@MikeL-vu7jo]

So correct thanks !

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks for watching!👍

[@steveperry1344]

this does work but i have to remember to swing kind of down then out, otherwise my body jumps out in front and i block the shot right or pull to the left. thnx for the help.

[@sim2502]

Great tip to help me stop coming over the top.

[@KamTimIp]

Hi Marcus, I should have found your videos earlier, it really helps a lot! BTW, is 6 degrees inside out your normal path, or higher degrees? Wish you a speedy recovery!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I would say that is normal. Often more in practice but on the course I would say 6 degrees is normal.

[@claudio97654]

Hi Marcus, really find your teachings very useful. The concept here in this video is key for me. I come down and "chop" on the ball with an out-to-in path on all my clubs (I see it clearly in a sim). When I try to do what you explain, it works, but it is very difficult to repeat for me. When done correctly, I feel like my downswing (I am a lefty like you...right handed, but hit left-handed) moves away and down from me, while my body feels like moving forward...extremely confusing from the way I usually hit!! Any hints on how to make that transition of downswing "away and down" with body moving forward easier? :) Thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sadly that's why so many don't believe it enough to really learn it. It feels strange but it's magic when we learn it. There is no short cut that I know of but everyone can do it. Keep going. 💪

[@claudio97654]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you, will keep at it! I believe your idea of "extending" the bent trail arm earlier for me is key as I move down...when I do the club seems to release earlier for me, and my path becomes much more neutral at that point, with a better hit...my usual out-to-in path forces me to flip my hands, which usually leads to disaster...

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@claudio97654 As long as you extend down on your side it will get beter and better every day. It will give you more speed and it will be easier to go out from there.

[@travisjaggers2114]

Marcus, is it fair to say you’re pulling down with your forward arm/hand while throwing back with your trail hand and arm to make it continue on the correct circle? Thank you so much for the great videos.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Travis. I try to keep the pulling to an absolute minimum. The extension of the trail arm is all I need. 👍

[@travisjaggers2114]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I think that’s the part I struggle to understand if the trail arm is extending back and behind you, down to the ball or forward to target…

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@travisjaggers2114 It starts back and away from the target. Everything moves in the opposite direction at the top.

[@wormburner7237]

Agree. And also that is very difficult to change. So why turn at all. Or at least, why not start without turning. And, in order to not ruin the club path, add the rotation, in small portions, later.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I think you are correct. To start slow or wait before you rotate can help a lot. Good luck and keep going. 👍

[@vreeke777]

So we need to know what is the trigger , body either arms thank you

Sir, I am still missing magic move. As I go down and then turn , my ball has a push constantly not pull or slice. What should ai do?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Your are only missing timing, you are LATE with the release. Your trail hand is behind to much at impact and you leave the club open. Give it more time to close.

[@RichardWoon-g6n]

Sorry to disturb you Marcus, may I ask, the downswing. Do we use the arms to bring the club down or we need to use other muscle to bring the club down fast? Thank you

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

You are NOT disturbing me. 😊 Yes we need to use our arms, mostly the trail arm for me to bring the club down. The muscles that move the arms are in the shoulders and that's what we need to find and use. 👍

[@buddyvance5326]

Hi Marcus, I am a big fan but a little confused about the downswing. Is swinging down the same as swinging back to make a circle? It seems to me it is a bit different, I have not tried to swing down, just back.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. It's parts of the same circle and depends a little of how long your back swing are. If you reach parallel it will start more back and if you stop halfway it will start straight down.

[@m.m.8497]

Do you use your wrist or only your arms to go "down" (for example: you like malaskagolf - he is holding the wrist angle in this movement until the club is parallal to the ground).

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm not using my wrists early with irons but very early in the down swing with driver. I'm not holding any angles but how active I am is different depending of the shot.

[@gerrydenotto3664]

Excellent point. It's a down swing, not an around and out swing.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Yes, Sir. 👍

[@davidyoung7470]

Marcus in the downswing do you think about dropping your trail elbow first or maybe drop arm or hands first? I may be overthinking it.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. If your goal is to get the club and hand down you will move the whole arm, I don't think you need to be more detailed in your thinking. I'm not.

[@davidyoung7470]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you. Sometimes I still move the right shoulder before dropping the arm and that is disastrous.

[@luisjuarez1200]

So then it is transition down then push forward from there once hands are down to quad area of leg, not simultaneously transition down and push forward?

[@benhikingoutdoors1632]

Hopefully I am asking this right... for your trail wrist-- does it have extention or does is radial deviation? Im having a hardtime with the wrist and if I am bending them the correct way in the back swing.

What happens with your golf shot?

[@benhikingoutdoors1632]

@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad its mainly straight or push slice. Really struggling to get that baby draw. Ive really been working on the back swing. The feeling up going back, then up--then in the down swing--back down and out. But I dont know if I am properly hinging my wrist in the correct way.

[@johnbrown-zm3xl]

[@luisjuarez1200]

Also when you say that the transition down is not a gravity move, but that you should feel the down effort....how much effort do you put in to transition the club down for a 300 yard drive.. effort level from 1 to 10. 10 being max effort; also does the transition down effort speed equal to the effort speed you push forward for your release?

[@LionelBradleygolf]

What can i do to feel this?

Hi. There is nothing else then doing it over and over and over again. How it feels is different for everyone. The feeling will come from successfully doing the movement. First you need to think about doing it and after a few hundred repetitions you no longer need to think, you can feel.

Marcus, is it correct, when I pull down the club using both lead and trail arms, I feel the lead hand is going toward my left pocket and right hand is fast and swinging right?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

First of all, the feeling could fool you to think you're doing something correct but you are not. It's when I realized that I started to get real result. Secondly, your hands can not move in different directions. Pulling in your lead hand will also move your trail hand in and that is not god.

Marcus, so sorry to disturb you. May I ask a stupid question. The most important move is when I bring the club down before swinging right as a right handed golfer. It’s a hit or sling feel? Where does the power comes from for the hands to swing fast especially when I bring it down before the hit?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

No worries. The speed comes from the difference in speed of the two hands. The faster the trail hand moves in relation to the lead hand the faster the club head will move. Both hand move along the circle. 👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi William. That will happened as long as you don't start with to much rotation. Give your arms time to reach your hip.

[@williamreichert4798]

Do the arms start down first by the left arm dropping or by the right elbow returning to the side or both at once????

[@williamreichert4798]

During the transition does the weight shift toward the target? Or does the transition start the downward move with a slight squat which in itself will drop the arms down a little????

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@williamreichert4798 The weight shift should come a little bit later then before. The squat is a sign of a proper downswing going in to the ball.
