Why You Struggle to Use the Lower Body in the Golf Swing

Having a hard time initiating the golf swing from the ground & lower body? A lot gets spoken about using the hips in the golf swing but what they don't tell you in that the feet, the ankles and the knees precede the pelvis and hip movement in any efficient kinetic sequence, including the swing of the golf club across the iron swing plane, or driver swing plane.

He has got to be one of your best students Marcus, a lot of the others are nowhere as near as quick to demonstrate what you are teaching. Well done to both of you, for a great result.

[@lending99]

Hands down the BEST teacher/coach around. This stuff is the BASICS which everyone else seems to miss. The bodies NATURAL way of getting out of it's own way, I just got mine delivered last week and I'm about half way through the training video and I'm already seeing huge improvements. My swing always felt so labored before and now it's becoming effortless and I'm actually FEELING what it's like to swing from the ground up, which by the way I never had a damn clue as to how to get that feeling. THANK YOU!!!!

[@rickgarza265]

Jon I feel exactly the same way as you wrote your thought word for word in how I would express it . I’ll have to order the video now LOL

[@markfitzpatrick360]

I say it all the time, you’re coaching is just so far ahead and more relatable than the text book teaching 95% of so called Pro’s teach in the UK. I was taught not to sway or move in the back swing etc. I became so stiff and so technical it not only ruined my natural movement but ruined the fun and natural way my body moved. I love watching you almost Rebirth peoples swings like Neo in the Matrix ha

[@mako1134]

The fact you turn the golf channel on and the presenter are dissecting the person of the moment swing. Shows we have some industry problem which far too focused on mechanics rather then the feels and concepts

[@nepheshr290]

I feel foolish having swung so technical for so long, it was liberating to let my body go in a natural athletic way.

[@cudagarage9549]

Thank you from NJ. This is the best on KZbin. What a teacher!! I hit the subscribe. Cheers!

[@mako1134]

When I first discovered the channel I was so skeptical almost locked into that golf is hard and complex So we need hard work abs complex teaching to perform “The golf swing just can’t be that simple” The more I’ve educated my self from ignorance from some of the principles and topic you have discussed The more you realise simplicity is the key mind and body (aka zen), intention and feels are the most powerful attributes we have I’d love to come down just for the ground force stuff so I can optimise what I currently have with much better sequencing And to see my ground force numbers as I love data

[@arthurford829]

I love how at about 11:48 the student kind of shuffles his feet like he’s on the board to create that feeling.

[@bepatient1000]

After many years turning the upper body against a resisting lower body in the backswing, it's a hard habit to break. Using the GRF system is producing some good shots but still not consistent. I think that I need to spend more time on the board to get the results that I know that I can achieve. Cheers Marcus for another great vid.

[@konradbidwell8363]

Love watching a zen master class👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@dickhendricks9610]

This is probably my favorite video lesson. Good stuff.

[@profpat70]

I not only love golf but alpine skiing, as well. Really tuning into my feet, while skiing, has been a major breakthrough for me this Winter. Can't wait to apply the same principles to golf this Summer.

[@DLudGolf]

Oh my god my swing twin! I need all this advice

[@richardsmith825]

Another great lesson Marcus. Great to watch.

[@bobsnooker.3950]

You are the man.

[@sfmgolf]

Another amazing job Marcus!!! I’m getting tired of writing the same thing…not!!!!! 😜

[@andyskipp4111]

Marcus Had my grfl board delivered Friday great quality Have sent you an e mail Cheers

[@simmo5071]

I was doing the grip in one hand rotating club into position right hand brilliant left hand closed face several times, nice drill though!

[@simmo5071]

I feel bad I’ve purchased balance pads from Amazon, rotating plates from online and I made a simple plywood tilt board. Living in the US has made me frugal when it comes to spending money with £ in front of it, I hope everything works otherwise my tight fistedness may backfire. Obviously, I love your teachings and consider myself one of your “peoples”! 👍

[@robinc3307]

I went to Marcus before the GRF system and have the same as you ...a couple of discs and a balance board I made....does the job just fine...and instead of half tennis ball I just have some small bits of pool noodle cut in half...tightfistedness rules.😜

[@futurizo]

it's the price of a fairway wood really. well worth it.

[@simmo5071]

@@futurizo Thanks for the comment what I got is only missing the Marcus instruction. Overall what I have is incredible and has changed my feel almost in one 5 minute session.

[@chuckross8839]

Simmo , Where did you find the rotating plates online that will hold ones weight ? What size and brand did you find ? Did you find them more useful then Carpet furniture sliders ? Are you still using everything ? What was your toughest part of learning this pattern ? Cheers mate

[@chuckross8839]

Simmo, Where did you find the rotating plates ? What model and size was able to bare weight ?

[@nttrumpet]

I’d be interested to know how long the benefits last away from Marcus. Its clear that he’s working hard to liberate the student but it would be great to have some follow-up feedback on the students progress.

[@themiddleman781]

Love it. Need better mics tho. Maybe clip on mics

[@mattgarr57]

Do you ship the training system to the USA? I’m also curious how long it might take to deliver.

[@darrenbyrne5345]

Marcus I have been using your grfI board overall it has been great! but I have seem to have lost myself with my swing any suggestions to bring myself back?

[@swardmusic]

Can both swingers and throwers benefit equally with the grf board?

[@jmf54]

Is the Zen board available for sale in the USA?

[@ragnewmd]

Should the arms reattach to the body in the downswing?

[@GRFGolf]

No, no such thing as connection in a golf swing 👍

[@steveperry1344]

a lot of his swings look more instinctive.

[@TheRealWarez]

After watching this whole video, I have 2 thoughts running through my mind... 1) Soooo, why do I struggle to use my lower body? And perhaps more importantly... 2) Did I just get played into watching a 15 minute infomercial?

[@GRFGolf]

This is thought provoking, not attempting to tell you why. That would be impossible and provide no learning for you. If you watch more of the channel you'll see the philosophy is self discovery. Being invited to explore your potential and finding possible reasons yourself. This is much more valuable than someone just expressing their opinion and judgement on you 👍

[@chuckross8839]

If you even think you got played , you got played . Maybe next time you should listen and explore the movements. If you thought you could just watch and it happens while your asleep.

[@GRFGolf]

🤔

[@chuckross8839]

What ?

[@hotstick12]

Over the last two years my golf swing has just got worse and worse. I have watched your channel and also another teacher on KZbin that I like. My brain is mush and I now haven't a clue what to do to bring it back, a lesson is too expensive and I'm loath to spend money on a system, which may not work for me. I stand over the ball and, literally, don't have a clue anymore. Don't sway, do sway, start your swing like this, start your swing like that, my handicap has gone up and up, I'm no longer enjoying golf.

[@robinc3307]

😂😂😂😂 it's called golf my friend...that's just how it goes...stick with it and you will find a feel that works and you'll be back to your best in no time... If you want to get there quickly book the lesson ...it's money well spent....doesn't mean you won't play crap though...just means you'll understand why😜😜😜

[@chuckross8839]

By now you have given up golf and have a good game of checkers going on. LOL If you haven't given up , I hope you shut every other teacher off in KZbin. Marcus gives you the best chance at exploring the movements. Explore the movements , if you don't have the tools , they can be bought very cheap on line. give it time , your creating your swing . Good Beginning . Building a Mansion.
