Excellent. This has helped me tremendously since I was moving a little too much laterally in both the backswing and downswing nothing horrendous but subtle enough to not be able to draw the driver at will. The only thing I have to figure out is how to come and see you from across the pond. ❤
Love the way you teach. Easy to understand for the average person. Some instructors are great when they are there with you but once they leave you have no idea what to do or to fix it because you didn’t understand all their complicated instructions. You have a way that when I’m by myself and not hitting solid I can still fix it by remembering what you said. Sign of a really good teacher.
Marcus, this video is an amazing clinic. All golf teachers should be required to ingest this lesson and struggle to understand what you did, in real time. It is so obvious that you worked this poor boy until he innately understood how to train his chains. BRILLIANT!!
Another fantastic video Marcus! My game has really improved following a lesson with Danny, but I have a tendency to sway too much - especially with the driver. Your explanation with Joe, really hit the mark for me. Can't wait to have my lesson with you in December :)
This video resonated with me more than any other so far. Amazing way to demonstrate the ground forces and movement. My discs and board are getting a proper workout! Thanks guys!
Your teaching method is very practical and is supported by science. My brother is a certified Rolfer and works on functional movement exercises with professional athletes. You are the first instructor that fully understands biomechanics and corresponding movement patterns. Once a golfer understands and practices your rotational and vertical exercises, they will discover their swing. I have taken lessons from Gankas, Malaska and 5 other top 100 instructions and they are promoting a system and not using biomechanical practices because they do not have the expertise. I subscribe 100% to your teaching and look forward to taking lessons when the virus subsides. Keep up the good work.
Thanks very much, I'm a big believer in Rolfing. Ida Rolf influenced the world of movement and awareness in many ways. Appreciate your support and glad you're enjoying the videos. Look forward to meeting you 👍
@@GRFGolf I purchased all the tools you use and practice an hour a day. The new feels are liberating. I was taught to stabilize my lower body which inhibited my turn and created an over the top move. I am 61, played Division 1 tennis, and when I took up golf was taught everything against my instinct. Your instructions allows freedom of motion. Do you offer any online lessons? I recently purchased www.tryaeroski.com for skiing and improved substantially. I am amazed you do not have more followers.
Top drawer, passive arms reacting to the pivot, I've had and lost this feeling so many times over the years. The deeper I get the club behind me with good wrist hinge the easier it is to use only the pivot.
I've been watching these videos for a few months now without the ability to put any of it into practice due to rotator cuff surgery. I am now 14 weeks post ops and yesterday I was able to finally hit some balls. I felt like I was swinging at maybe 75% effort and about 75% rotation. My SW was carrying right at 80 yards which is up from 60 yards pre-injury. I am wondering at what point you'd suggest is enough distance as long as contact is consistent and as long as results are consistent. I read the tour pros are carrying the same club at 100 yards so I would think 80 yards is sufficient. Thoughts ?
11.45 - this the elephant walk that transformed my game. Before, I was back swinging level and swinging up - now I’m going up in the backswing, squatting and then going up. The difference is phenomenal.
This lesson really explained the use of the black swivel device and the wooden board. What is the black circular device with the blue center circle? Love watching your videos
Many years ago i was at a golf clinic given by the great Christy O'Connor a great friend of the late and much oved Peter Allis. I asked him how he hit a face. He said i really just think fade. And the same for a draw i just think draw. Probably a little over simplified but you have made me understand what this amazing golfer really meant. Great golfers are not always great communicators of their own skill.
Beautiful video. Its like watching myself in the mirror. Would love to have such a coaching. But unfortunately I am not living in the UK. Any idea how to train these concept by myself?
Great to see some of the struggles that people go through when trying to re-programme years of previous swings...all too often it seems just an easy fix, so it’s nice to see someone’s anguish and then come out the other side....Joe has a pretty nice swing now I must admit!!...great work Marcus
I really enjoy observing your lessons Marcus! You use the same tools/aids for a wide range of skill levels yet the approach and content is tailored to each student. No boilerplate here... The impressive results in such a short span of time is the positive proof of your methodology. I have benefitted significantly just by being an observer. Thank you again!
This video explains so much! Since finding you I have unsubscribe from all the other golf coaches on RUclips you make everything sound and look so simple which I’m sure it is just other coaches try and make it hard when all this lockdown is over I’m coming for a lesson!
I know there was something missing and I was fighting myself. I watched a few videos last night, practiced it in the morning and played a few holes. WOW, so much easier. I ended up in the back bunker in 2 on a par five, haven't done that before!! Awesome. Thank you
Very convincing,.... but does that principle work for somebody, who started at the age of 55? How, or when at what stage do I know , that I am untalented for the game on what level ? How do I notice, I have reached my physical peak and how do I cope with ongoing age, referring to the former statements?
You practice one step at a time. I am way older than you and have started introducing some of these basic moves into my swing. Slowly I’m getting there.
Marcus you are teaching a one plane flat body swing. What if your a two plane up right swing like a Freddy Couples. The foot pressure and turn are different. Can you cover this. Thanks
I don't teach any plane or have a preference so long as the swing is effective and safe. The body movement will naturally match the arm swing when the swing is efficient as all the segments will become compliant as part of an integrated system. There are some biomechanical principles which the body will adhere to via awareness. You naturally find the most comfortable space to swing the clubhead. There is no swing plane as such, as there is high variability in the motion of the club. The club only exhibits planar activity from late downswing through to early follow through.
Thanks for the feedback. Jim Hardy Plane Truth for golf explained the one plane swing the club stays behind you like you explain. In the green zone you really flatten the swing to promote a draw. The two plane stays more upright around your neck and is more if an arm dominant swing. Does the foot work change? Is there a casting of the club to pick up speed? Thanks for your work.
@@howrdhill4700 I've attended a plane truth conference and also read his book. I'm aware of Jim Hardy's approach but this isn't a version of his. The swing plane is self finding, I'm not trying to guide anyone into a prescribed model rather allow the pupil to explore their movement potential and discover their optimal pattern. We're simply inviting the body into an opportunity to move and observe what emerges 👍
@@GRFGolf Thanks Marcus I have been trying to find magic for 20 years. I do love the joy your students find in your lessons. Keep it up man. I'll keep watching to find that sweet spot. Thanks for your work.
The main man marcus is a Harvey penick of his day..ps keep the door on its hinges a bit to aggressive with the hip turn on shuttin said door 😂 top vid as per .merry xmas to all the zen team
When are you guys coming to God’s country (down under). So frustrating not being able to access your instruction. Keep it up guys, another great session. Cheers
That's a pity as I keep watching your lessons in the hope of finding someone with the same swing issues as me and this lesson looked really promising. Still lots to think about with the content that is there. Merry Christmas and stay safe. Thank you.
Love the fact the likes of mark crossfield and Danny maud are using zen mechanics in their videos but haven’t the balls to quote Marcus or give credits 🤣 let them have it. We’ve the real guru 💥
I hope this student never gets a launch monitor at his house because he will get so lost looking at the results on screen that he’ll miss a week of work....stop focusing on results and just MOVE....LEARN THE MOVEMENT THE RESULTS WILL HAPPEN
These videos always show me how little common sense people use because they’re so absorbed with technical thought that they can’t even take instruction on basic human movement....that’s how programmed golf digest magazine has got people, Marcus said just twist 5 times and the guy couldn’t even process it because he was so stuck in the technicalities of golf swing form...NO DUDE HE LITERALLY JUST WANTS YOU TO TWIST LIKE A NORMAL HUMAN AND NOT THINK ABOUT GOLF LOL
He quickly got it though, Joe is a fantastic talented player but you can see how previous conscious thought had distorted his perception of how to move with a club in his hands. All sorted now though 👍
@@GRFGolf yeah easily to tell the guy has talent.. I'm a +3 pretty easy to see who's got raw ability(not based on swing mechanics.. more sound) but it's crazy how absorbed subconsciously become with looking into a mirror and being "PERFECT"... the art of playing golf has been lost over the last 2 decades and has become a beauty pageant... love watching instructors like yourself bringing back human athletic ability into the forefront
What an amazing explanation of the rotational forces utilized in the golf swing. Great video. Continued success, Marcus.

Never seen it being taught like this
Makes so much sense

Another amazing video, with information into the depths of the body rotation and forces that go into the golf swing
I can feel the ground now at last !!! still need to concentrate not to sway, but I think I am getting it now, thank you Marcus

Great video as usual. Does Marcus answer the question Joe asks at 8:16? Also, no Vimeo link for this lesson? Thanks
Such good content, trying to process so I can take it to the practice range... Immense help

When will full lesson purchase be available on Vimeo?
This is amazing to watch Marcus! What is this players hcp? Does he compete as a golfer? Nice swing.
He's a tour player 👍
Where can we buy your training aids? Like the rotating discs? I can build the pivot board myself............
Great video like always. Can you make a video showing how to use the wood board and the two balance inflatables?? If they’re not top secrets. Thanks
🤫🤫🤫😂😂😂
Can you make a video showing drills with the balance disc?
This video explains so much! Since finding you I have unsubscribe from all the other golf coaches on RUclips you make everything sound and look so simple which I’m sure it is just other coaches try and make it hard when all this lockdown is over I’m coming for a lesson!
This pumping your legs is a great swing thaught. Play way to straighten leged. This makes sense.
What is the gear introduced at 11:44? Looks helpful. Cannot find anything similar. Thx!
It's something I've devised. We're releasing a training aid soon with full explanation and exercises on a download 👍

You practice one step at a time. I am way older than you and have started introducing some of these basic moves into my swing. Slowly I’m getting there.
For a beginner, who's never swung club, would you work this pivot first? Use the butt to swing the club?
Attune yourself to the forces first and let the movement emerge
