The magic circle of speed - The basics of a effortless swing...

Learn to move the club on the circle of speed and you will hit golf shot you only dreamed of. Give this the time and attention it needs, you will thank me.
You can contact me for a online lesson on: skillest.com/a...
Let me help you get a effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook.
Long and straight is every ones goal 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.
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 get better.
Find what inspires you. 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. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
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.
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.

So, that's the "circle of speed". Thanks for sharing this.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks so much. This is why I can hit it like I do. 🙏

[@spondiveswandive561]

I love this but I have some questions..I feel on the backswing I need to pull the club behind me and up in order to move the circle as you show. Are we swinging 90 degrees out or are we swinging 45 degrees out…also I tend to hit the big ball before the little ball when I try this circle

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@spondiveswandive561 Try to keep it on your side. You don't want to get stuck behind you. In my mind I'm at least 45 degrees from the inside all the time but it ends up being about 5-8 degrees in reality.

No. Doubt. About. It. I’m 71; 5 feet 5 inches, but been playing golf since I was six. I’ve always been a “puller” so I struggled with over the top, pull hooks and pulled wedges. I’ve won a lot of local tournaments because I love to hit balls and practice and have a good short game. A couple weeks ago I started really concentrating on slow lead hand and fast trail hand, limited body turn, and circle of power. This is stress-free golf. I shot my age twice this weekend; shot 73 from the back tees yesterday, and today finished eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie for 68. My thanks to Marcus for giving me a different way to think about the swing that has turned out to be more powerful (faster), accurate and easier.

This ‘backwards circle’ is quite brilliant. Other coaches call it shallowing. I’ve never been able to shallow. But this explanation makes perfect sense!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Agree! Shallowing or dropping on the inside for me has never felt natural and has proved very difficult to perform. The circle of speed has certainly made a great mental image for me to follow and it works.

Thank you Marcus for one of best if not the single best golf video I’ve seen. Many instructors talking about transition, shallowing, tempo, timing, lag, wrist action and other details.

After watching the video I did the drill and made some full normal swings with this feeling in mind and the results were obvious, both is distance and accuracy.

Marcus, I tried this and had some great results. I also tried opposite stance, meaning, I stood nearly completely closed with my heels of my feet nearly pointed down the fair way…toes towards the ball. I’m a right handed player…but the feeling this gave me was that I had to swing internal and more from the inside (my right side). To me, this truly brought the feeling of… you have so much room on your trail side and swing path…the more I felt the “magic circle”, the more effortless my swing felt. To me, it almost feels like you can’t get the club inside too much…all the room for your swing and the power comes from that magic circle….this is great stuff. I hope you’re recovering and rejuvenating.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Great job. If you find/learn the circle of speed it will work great but it will feel different for everyone. Find the things you need. Keep going 👍

[@jtboise1]

This idea conforms to the laws of physics. To throw a ball with speed, you start with your hands together, turn your body and put your throwing hand backwards - behind you. This builds kinetic energy = speed once released. If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, you cheat yourself out of speed and thru potential energy. This is probably the the best video and explanation of the golf swing I have ever seen. I tried your ideas yesterday at the range (irons only) and after a big bucket I realized that I was striking the ball purer (more pure) and cleaner. I wasn't worried about where the ball went but they all followed a straight path. I did not chunk a single ball. I'm 71 and I did not feel tired after hitting nearly 100 balls. No aches and pains as before. Here's hoping that I can continue to make this work every time I pick up a club.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Of course it takes a bit of time to learn but I really wish more golfers get the chance to experience what you have. Great job. 👍

Great to hear! I'm happy to help. 👍

[@peteto1]

I don't have words to adequately thank you! I've been getting really close to very good ball striking, mostly at the range (time limited). This progressed steadily this Spring/Summer particularly, with succesful, targeted tips I'd search out from Billy Fitzgerald, Malaska, AMG, Heritage, etc. I stumbled upon a video of yours and really enjoyed your concise, relatable (i.e.-easy to understand) instruction style. Then I watched THIS video. The "backward" motion of the club clicked like a lightbulb in my head. Being a "feel" player, I went to the range the next day to try it, and it just became so much more effortless almost immediately. I picked up 10-15 yards with all clubs. Control is unreal from 150 yards in. The flush feeling is what I've been looking for in earnest, literally for years. Again, thanks and keep up the great work!!.....:)

[@geneczap5614]

I'm 79 and was hitting my drives in the 210-225 range. I play once a week and hit a bucket once a week. Still, losing distance to Father Time is scary. I used to be a fairly long hitter but now I was receding to Father Time. But what really made me upset was I could no longer draw the ball. I tried EVERYTHING to get my high draw back but nothing worked. When I found you, I was instantly trans-fixed. Simple, direct, utterly sincere, seemingly brilliant...could this be true? At first, I gobbled up many of your videos, looking for that secret clue, the one that had eluded me for so long. I saw the circle of speed video and tried it out but I didn't really get it. I somehow already realized that I needed to go back at the start of my downswing, not forward but I just didn't realize you were doing exactly what I was looking for. Too many videos in my head. Last week, I returned to this video and practiced the circle over and over relentlessly. And I am only beginning to get the feel of it. As you wisely advise, it takes time. Yesterday, I played and the most thrilling part of the day were my misses, the irons and drives, were almost all draws! I hooked the ball a few times but that was so welcome after all the little slices and misses that have drained my shotmaking and distance for so long. As for distance, 4 of my drives with my trustly old TM Burner were in the 250 yard range....it was soooo wonderful seeing them hit the ground and running out that extra yardage. What a joy! Marcus, you are a keeper. People with your generosity and gifts dont come along too often in life. You are deeply appreciated and beloved here. I am also so happy/relieved to hear that you are successfully dealing with your health issues. The world can't have enough of what you are and what you bring. Thank you.

[@tonyprzygienda1257]

A single digit HCP got me onto this video and frankly, having watched it a first time at the beginning I thoughht it's a prank. How can you even hit a golfball with full open stance? Then I thought it's one of the weirdest videos I've ever seen teaching golf. OK. Then I tried it and goodness my, complete epiphany. I can hit a draw these days (after lots work) but it always felt I needed tons depth in backswing and just the right sequence that was always trying to fall apart hands going first, especially when tired. With this video I finally after all those years got the sensation of the club going in retrograde naturally and wiping from the inside. Feels all unbelievably natural, even hitting open stance which I thought first was a joke. Only thing I have to check whether I can really get my weight through the ball with this with a bit of filming. Thank you for this unbelievably out-the-box video, it takes a genius to come up with stuff like this no'one else shows I know of.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I'm glad you tried it. I'm not a genius I just took my engineering brain and removed all unnecessary things and this was all I needed to do. Sometimes it's hard to get golfers to try it but when they do it's a new world. 👍

Without a doubt the holy grail of all videos. I can see why this would be your number one pick . It would be mine also. AMG is the only other ones talking about this.

This completely throws out the dog wags the tail philosophy which was popular in the 80’s! Now I’m getting a better understanding of why I have been struggling with my swing for so long!

Yes I wasted a few decades lost in the body turn cesspool. Many years ago I played golf with my hands and then got lost in "body turn". Then I watched one of Marcus's videos about the trail hand overtaking the lead hand. After a few hundred chip shots into my sofa, my golf completely changed. Life is good after Marcus. I am 71. Since the change I have to hang onto to the club pretty good because I generate so much clubhead speed now that the club wants to fly out of my hands. Yeehah!!!

[@user-en2xp1pd2t]

Enjoy your videos very much. I think I FINALLY get it. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but what's working for me is basically swinging along the same line the shoulders make at the top of the backswing. In other words, straightening the right arm with what feels like towards right field - instead of sort of wrapping the right arm around your chest to the target. I feel more room and a more fluid swing. A nice high draw when I do it right, but still fighting the release and then a dead push right. Anyway, thanks very much! 🙂

[@Eric-zk2hu]

I watched a couple of your videos about a year ago and I didn't really get it, I thought you were another KZbinr and that you just had really strong hands and forearms. But I recently watched your videos again and have had good results pushing thru contact with my right hand/arm. I feel its pushing way past impact in a way that if you were left or lead hand dominant pulling there is no way you could go thru that far thru the ball. This video of the magic backwards circle was very good. I've heard other teachers saying the club goes backwards at first but they seemed to be just using their wrist to make it go backwards, they never mentioned a backwards circle. When I tried swinging with my feet facing the target I finally felt what you said about a circle going backwards! One way I can envision the circle going backwards is to think of swinging backwards when the club is up over your head as in a full follow thru swinging high and behind you. So I've gone from being a disbeliever to a believer, thank you for your informative videos.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Whatever you are trying to do will take time. The feeling and most of the understanding comes from trying. Great work and thanks for your effort. 👍

[@josch5736]

Marcus, perfectly explained. I noticed this problem for me a while ago rather occasionally by looking at me at setup and from there controlling the way of the clubface from top to impact. But honestly it‘s so hard to overcome this terrible urge to go straight forward and down over the top, if there is a ball under me. I think, if one can get this movement the way you described, 90% of the work is done. Fantastic video, thank you.

[@RC.Time-Crawlers]

My greatest lesson from Marcus was when he explained how the wrist worked in a golf swing. Once he showed an above view of his hands,that lit the bulb for me. Even in this demonstration, you can see the wrist rotation it's something that needs to be looked at. This wrist rotation will also help you feel the club head weight. Once the feel of that club head comes into play, you then can figure out how to catapult that mass around your body. Thanks again, Marcus.

[@iamcarshopping2400]

wow another great one. I like the drill facing forward will try that today. I used to do it with my back to the target to try and stop the over the top but this I think is better. I did notice that the wrist as you come forward drop the club back creating the circle of speed. I liked the back stroke feeling

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

You will feel when you make it. It feels strange and wonderful. 😁

[@essoteric]

Brilliant. So clearly explained. I had a similar thought but I was doing it all wrong. I have a tendency to "drag/push" my club on the downswing which has led to poor golf over the years. But I recently started thinking about swinging in a circle. Your video clearly shows the right way to do it. Very nice work 👍

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thank you, Sir. I'm glad you think the video is valuable. 👍

i will be the first to admit i have gotten off track,messing with my grip and elbow,old mental pictures die hard,facing the target is the cure for my brain,thanks again,hope you feeling better.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Mike I'm back to 100%. Keep going until you get what you want. Everyone can learn to do this. 👍

[@Lotheren]

Honestly, I saw this video and was doubting it a bit until I tried it. You really feel the speed of the club coming through you arms and hands. If I can ask, could you do a video or point me to one where you go through your backswing and downswing? I've picked it up through watching a number of your videos but having a single video I can point my friends to and to use to practice with would be great. Keep up the great work. Can't wait to try this on the course after some practice.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi. There are a lot of videos about the down swing. Here is one of the more popular: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eIGqY6SljZmfaMU This weeks video will be the purpose of the the back swing. Just wait a few days. 👍

[@wskripka1]

Amazing concept ! Thanks so much !

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

You're very welcome!👍

[@attechoutdoors5893]

I will try this out and work on it. Thanks for showing this video.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

It works really well but any change can be a bit of a struggle. 👍

[@MsRocketRoy]

It felt amazing. Today, I hit 4 fabulous drives using this method, I only played 9 holes.. It feels odd throwing the club head away at the start of the downswing, I feel like I might even miss the ball and I need to adjust how close I am to the ball. I didn't measure the drives but they must have been close to 290-300. You just have to trust in it. Just trust this method and you'll get there.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Nice to hear. I know it works but it feels strange to do it in the beginning. 👍

[@jsilva7448]

HI Marcus, your lessons are terrific, thank you. I wish KZbin would have a feature to watch a mirror image of the video. I think I might start holding my laptop up to a mirror and watching your videos that way 😀

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I know we are a minority but if you take the time to understand instead of trying to copy your success will be bigger. Keep going. 👍

Mike Austin taught under out and up which he taught Mike Dunaway who was the longest most accurate driver of the golf ball. You are just proving how much a genius Mike Austin was!!! RIP to both Mike’s

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I agree. We invited Mike Dunaway to Sweden but sadly his health was not good enough to make the trip. We wanted to know more. 👍

[@brendonoehme8707]

Finally someone who explains what ' shallowing' actually means. Thankyou. Going to try it out With thanks Brendon

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Brendon. Go and try it, it works. 👍

[@brendonoehme8707]

Thanks Marcas. Im 65 and desperately want to hit the ball longer and straighter. Will go hit some practice balls today

[@richardc6932]

I would love to see this swing in slow motion and from back on as well. I looks from the angle of filming that your feet are parallel to target line but club path comes into the ball from the inside at a 45 degree angle. Inside to out as they say.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Richard. This video is explaining why I don't use to much slow motion: kzbin.info/www/bejne/m5e1pJWYYpKea80si=icviftPV9Fvnx8xZ

[@stevebenzian9674]

I think I saw Hovland making that move a a right handed player......swinging the club head clockwise around from the top

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

We all need to do this more or less to make a good strike on the ball. 👍

[@sbwew]

This concept is so simple, so subtle, so counterintuitive, and so powerful, that it just might be "the secret".

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks for your kind words. I wouldn't go that far but it works really well and it's wonderful to be able to give it away on KZbin. 😁

Hi Marco, Magic circle of speed is brilliant. It is simple and easy to understand, particularly the drill to stand 90 degrees to the target. I would like to inquire besides of irons swing whether it could also apply to driver and fairway woods swing. Thanks!

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Glad it was helpful! You can use it with all clubs but it's harder with a longer club. 👍

[@david.ke1978]

I've been practicing the circle of speed in my backyard since watching this video yesterday. Its difficult, but I feel like it's getting easier. I can't wait to try this at the driving range, perhaps this weekend. Thanks for this video Marcus.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

David. Everyone can do it but not many will take the time to learn it. Go for it.

[@david.ke1978]

I tried this at the range today and I was happy with my results considering that I've only started practising this recently. I hit a lot more drives consistently in the centre of the face. I've never consistently hit the centre of the driver face like I did trying this method. I'm going to stick with this at the foundation if my golf swing. Sure I hit some bad shots, but I'm still learning this technique. I still managed to hit a few fades and one or two slices, but at least I now know that it's just because I released late and it's not a swing path issue. I'll work on my release with the driver and keep working on the circle of speed.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

@@david.ke1978 Sounds like you did really good. It took me a few month to get the feeling to be comfortable.

[@david.ke1978]

I still have a very very long way to go, but I feel like I'm in the right track with this. Thanks Marcus.

[@bobpower8411]

Good day, I have been practicing the circle of speed and it has already improved my golf shots. One thing I would like to suggest. Is it possible to have a step by step process to change to this type of swing for golfers like me who do a little practice at home or on the range. Sometimes we just don't know where to begin and what to do next. I love your approach and it makes perfect sense. Thanks

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Thanks for sharing. I'll think about how to adress your request and see if I can come up with something good. 👍

[@richanthony4283]

Thank you, I'm going to embrace this.... Will let you know.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sounds good 👍

[@macwallys1552]

Hi Marcus.This is the first time I see a video from a pro that makes a lot of sense: how to create speed with arms and your hands will follow instead of rotating faster. This is a eye opener. But…learning new things is alway difficult so do you have drills to learn this?

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Hi Mac and welcome to my channel. The drill is there, do the circle without hitting golfballs and then with hitting balls. Understanding the motion is the hard part. Maybe use a mirror to see that you are doing it correct. I have drills for different parts of the circle like the path but not for the whole circle. Maybe I'll try to put some more together during this summer.

[@BloodySoup74]

I tell you what this opened my eyes. I always handled dragged and hit from in to out trying to compress the ball as much as possible. It's definitely hard on the body. I was in the simulator today swinging my hardest on driver and barely getting to 300 yards. I need to change my thought process to yours. I want something where I can swing fast without contorting myself lol. And I'm getting older. Have you seen Count Yogi on KZbin? Marcus's swing reminds me of his back in the day. It looks like the swing is behind the ball. Anyway I need to hit the dome (a range for the winter) tomorrow to find out how to do this.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

I haven't seen Count Yogi in any good video but many have sad that there are similarities. Try to exaggerate any change you start and it will help to some faster learning. Go for it. 💪

[@patc1309]

He's telling you to hit from the inside!

[@BloodySoup74]

@@patc1309 oh I hit from the inside for sure. I just roll my hands too much and hit duck hooks once in awhile.

[@torya400]

Just took this outside and practiced on my golf training mat (the kind with the sequins that turn color). I can actually hear my iron swooshing through the air. My impact point was a bit behind to start and it was sometimes inside of target. I noticed my trail foot was coming off the ground during follow through. Once I kept that planted, I was getting some amazing feedback. Can't wait to try it at the range.

[@GolfwithMarcusEdblad]

Sounds good. Go for it. 👍
