19:53 ..... that is the Bobby jones secret. Plus one I'm currently finding out. Yes, alot of us have wasted loads of time ... putting it there, vs flowing freely there. Remember that thought u found at that mark. Itll take time, but if u master it, your going to start getting great results with less effort.
Wow! If you can bring this kind of insight to a very good player, imagine what we amateurs can learn. I’m stunned that more people aren’t subscribed to your channel. It’s the best RUclips instruction out here. If golfers really want to get better, they need to be subscribed to this channel and ignore all of the other positional instructors out there who fill our minds with nonsense that hinders our play and improvement instead of truly making us better.
One of the best lessons I’ve seen. The concept of controlling the swing through weight shift is just brilliant. If you’re not grounded you’re a smuck lol!! Love it
Well first things first and I believe everything happens for a purpose. The thought comes where or how do I start to tell my 62 year life journey. This video the latest installment. It was quite amazing to see that James and myself were dressed exactly the same all be it a fair few years apart.
Well that was a massive light bulb moment for me, going down in both directions before rotating, i have spent god knows how many years turning and trying to stay in the same posture /maintaining the same height. Going down and then springing up in the backswing throws the club up, (no lifting going on), so much more fluidity, room and time in the swing, the same action in the downswing allows the club shaft shallowing before getting fired.
I’ve watched James content for quite some time and always thought his swing was fantastic. To see him unhappy with it was quite a shock but to see how he improved was great
Wish you could get your hands on Rory, his head is so twisted right now and this is exactly what he needs. Then stick me on his bag and I think we could add 5 or 6 majors over the next few years. Well done MARCUS.
Rory needs to go back to 2011 US Open Rory. He played so instinctively and cocky. He didn’t need the gym or all these other things he putts so much effort into. Just go out and play like he is with his mates.
Rory’s 20th win seems to be the result of him realising he can just be himself and that’s good enough. Letting go of process and playing shots intuitively. He’s discovered his Zen.
Eye opening to see someone that already strikes the ball so good unlocking extra potential. I’m guilty of watching James swing with envy and trying to replicate...failing miserably I might add! Great watch Marcus 👍
I've been watching you're content for ages James, although I don't know how those golf balls were flying, this is IMO, the best your swing has looked by a long way. not designed to be offensive because you're swing has always been great.
Love the the video! I’ve been watching both of you guys for over a year! James is a beast and I’m glad he sought you out. Good things for the both of you ! Much love from Texas!
Respect to James for being so honest and open and Respect to Marcus for freeing James from his swing straightjacket👍 The difference in his swing once he started working from the ground up was amazing. But the amazing thing about Zen Golf mechanics is that it works for a Pro like James at the peak of his fitness and an old arthritic hacker like me!
@@whiskerrub3821 I was, of course, referring to my maracas Whisker, I would be far too scared to shake anything else, just in case they fell off!🤦♂️🕺🤣🤣
James explained the exact problem I have, paralysis through analysis and the feeling of not being able to take the club back. Great vid gents with the guru..
All of this is sooo true, I have always tried to create a “perfect” swing however I don’t play as well as I think I should be. I think actually playing golf and having a good golf swing are completely different things.
What was interesting in this lesson was watching light bulbs going off in James head. He clearly has gone into a lot of the golf swing science like ground reaction forces and the detail of the swing and had organised them as best he could to the best of his understanding of the concepts. but although he thought he understood them Marcus brought them to life in this lesson in a way his body understood them and felt them. You could see James relating to his memory bank of knowledge and reorganising what he thought he knew into new sections around what he had learned in this lesson..I got the impression James wished he had come across Marcus much earlier in his career and got into this movement approach sooner.. Visually James was moving better and more naturally and it just looked better. That was great to watch, Marcus is clearly a vey talented teacher and I strongly suspect James will be back for more instruction.
Another hugely revealing video, Marcus You've said it many times but having a Pro as honest as James on confirms that ... whatever level we play this game ... we all struggle with the same sort of demons! You're absolutely unique on You Tube. Never change!!
I think your point on golfers who pay much attention to aesthetics instead on focusing on the function is essential. I myself tend to "look at" my swing too much. Despite nearly thirty years of golf behind me...
I love this channel. It's come along for me at a time when I have realized I have lost the 'swing' in my golf hit. One suggestion - fix the volume levels. I have to turn the sound way up just to hear Marcus and the student, but then, every time Robin laughs, it's way too loud. And those beeps in this episode were way too loud. Sorry to be a dick. I really do love this channel.
I absolutely love this channel, watched every episode but agree that if the sound quality around Marcus and the student were better, this would be the biggest golf channel on youtube
Caught that part about “bringing in the other disciplines” when James was talking about his left foot flying around... as a student of human movement, mobility and the manual therapies used to free them up, it’s one of the aspects of what you do Marcus that is so amazing to me... would love to see more of it!!
Awesome content. It rung a bell with me as I recall Sam Snead is reported to have said the golf swing is all in the feet and in fact once played a round at the masters without shoes.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Brilliant, I don't know what I love more, his hips moving more or his face when he realises his hips can move more!!!! Get his mate a coat by the way!!!! 🥶
Fantastic video really enjoys Marcus's and james channels. It will be interesting to see how James develops supported by Marcus and Steve s. He has the distance and strength now can james dial in the short game and mental strength to take his game to the next level. Hope so Good.luck fellas
Can genuinely see how much freely he moved after that lesson.. So interesting to see how robotic weve all become.. Definayely am going to try and get upto ypu for a lesson
3:00 "Feeling what they are feeling" I've fallen into this trap so many times which have led to lots of dead ends. I totally get what James is saying; you like the look of some pro's swing and try to incorporate what you think they're feeling.. but how can you really guage that? Besides, we all know that feel isn't real. Crazy game golf is, loved watching this lesson. If James' recent play at The Shire is a reflection of this ZEN lesson then he's definitely on the correct path 👍
Question: back in my youth, I did try to empty my mind - trying to apply Zen and the Art of Archery to Golf. I found I couldn’t….any stray thought, then sabotaged the swing! I found I needed something to occupy my mind. I guess focusing on rhythm or getting the weight to the right heel might be suitable?
Suggested to James a while ago he came to see you after all his technical thoughts, couldn’t wait for this one. After the recommendations to Liam think i should be on a percentage bonus😂 who do you want next?
Marcus: can you please advise me where to start with your videos! I love the results you get but feel I need a plan to start and expand my knowledge of your teaching. I’m in the U.S. so it’s almost impossible for me to see you in person. Maybe you can give me some advice on where to start. Thank you so much!
This man looks like a talented golfer. However his contact sound was a bit mat and ball as apposed to ball mat. . You know that crack at impact. Maybe it is the sound system that gives that impression. Love these videos.
@@GRFGolf I thought so as he looked so good. Nice to see somebody who hits similar distances to myself. (Bob rolls across floor laughingly insanely and shouting "if only")
I’ve followed James since his days on MC’s channel. Good to see him making an effort to get back to basics and playing well again. Loved this video except for the ear-splitting beeps whenever someone swore. Nearly made me stop watching. Hope you can come up with a better solution for that. Cheers!
The problem I see with golf instructors is that they always see something that they must change. You can go to a hundred of these instructors and each one will find something different to change. I am not convinced that this is very useful
Not sure what you're on about tbh. Never met Flowers although he looks a great guy. Heard a lot about him. You might need to watch my lesson videos on my channel and then you'll be better informed to comment 👍
It like he is getting bing people permission to experiment and free yourself up to make a shot not a swing. Make a shot. Learn patterns. Learn movements.
He was involved in the session and very active in conversation off camera. He's a tour player I coach and has been in a few previous videos on the channel. Must have had something interesting on his phone 😂
Thanks for having me up mate! Some really cool stuff you’re doing and I can’t wait to start using the boards!!
What a great lesson to watch, thank you.
Best thing you could have done James. Great lesson. 👍
19:53 ..... that is the Bobby jones secret.
Plus one I'm currently finding out.
Yes, alot of us have wasted loads of time ... putting it there, vs flowing freely there.
Remember that thought u found at that mark. Itll take time, but if u master it, your going to start getting great results with less effort.
Get out and play James....let us see how free you are now. Keep it all going, hoping your going to win some money this year. Have fun.
Hey James imagine flowers on the board?
Wow! If you can bring this kind of insight to a very good player, imagine what we amateurs can learn. I’m stunned that more people aren’t subscribed to your channel.

My favourite golf Jedi and RUclips golf content creator in the same video - doesn’t get much better than this!!!
One of the best lessons I’ve seen. The concept of controlling the swing through weight shift is just brilliant. If you’re not grounded you’re a smuck lol!! Love it
I wish we could have these in-person lessons here in the states.
My biggest takeaway (no pun intended!) since I’ve been watching, and has really worked for me and has become my mantra is “ No think-ee, just hit-ee”.
Well first things first and I believe everything happens for a purpose. The thought comes where or how do I start to tell my 62 year life journey. This video the latest installment.
It was quite amazing to see that James and myself were dressed exactly the same all be it a fair few years apart.
Finding my true purpose, those first few minutes turning me to mush.

Found the zen channel through James’ & now I’m hooked on both! Coming up for a lesson on Monday & can’t wait
Love it💘I am one of your subbies on RUclips and I really enjoy your videos🥰
Your smile always encourage me. Thank you. I hope you are happy and smiling all the time.
Loved his expression once he got the sequence of how simple now he can create power and accuracy 👏👏👏
James had a moment he was 15 all over again the kid smile was there happy for him.
Wonderful to see the lower body freed up. Learn something every time, thanks
Another side of James, I like it.
Just as expected, a fantastic watch! Can’t wait for my board to arrive so I can pick up where I left off in my lesson
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Brilliant, I don't know what I love more, his hips moving more or his face when he realises his hips can move more!!!! Get his mate a coat by the way!!!! 🥶
I remember seeing James on Mark Crossfields channel years ago. The playing videos were always fun to watch.
He creates great content 👍
Another brilliant installment. Very informative and enjoyable.
Fantastic video really enjoys Marcus's and james channels. It will be interesting to see how James develops supported by Marcus and Steve s. He has the distance and strength now can james dial in the short game and mental strength to take his game to the next level. Hope so Good.luck fellas

I follow both of you guys 😂 the video I never knew I wanted or needed.
The strongest combo to get on tour👍🏼
Love watching James videos great video again Marcus 👍🏻
Another awesome video.. next month and I’ll be having a lesson with the Jedi.. 👍 I need it..
That's some crazy club / ball speed!!! Great episode. Love to know his stats with that club?
Another great video Marcus. Great to see you are getting the success you deserve
Quality as always Marcus,golf is in the mind it’s just opening it up
Thanks Marcus and James. Now time for me to stop striving for a pretty swing.
Simply quite amazing. Great video.

Such a eye opener, great content 👍🏻
Excited for this one for sure.
James if you want to cry just cry mate, we are all human at the end of the day. He is full of joy now but acting cool 😂😂😂
Nothing is broken, you have not seen my golf swing. Lol.
Blimey. James Wiltshire today, I’m booked in next week. You’ll be bored by all these massive hitters....😬

Comments down the bottom 😁 James got game !!!!
This was brilliant.
Awesome content boys!!!
Great video, probably on the wall of fame at no 2 position. 😄
😂😂 There's only one number one and we know who that is 😂
Those loud beeps really hurt the earphone crowd, geez.
Need to tweak the volume but enjoyed the content
Great content guys 💪
Next stop, Harry flower!!!!
Great video follow you both 👍🏻
My ears are bleeding from the curse word beeps! 😬
Liked the video before watching lol
where can we buy those boards/ swirly ground things marcus?
great content!
Link in video description, comes with a 2hr training download with all the exercises 👍
Your a genius.
Hi Marcus hope your well. Have dropped you an email about my session in May.
Thanks Paul, all good thanks, hope you are too. Will check and get back to you 👍
This man looks like a talented golfer. However his contact sound was a bit mat and ball as apposed to ball mat. . You know that crack at impact. Maybe it is the sound system that gives that impression. Love these videos.
Yeah must be the sound cos trust me he was ripping it. The lower ball flights were super low stingers travelling over 220 with a 5 iron.

IMO it's about letting the body move how it wants to not instructing it how to.
This guy from Zen is clearly a pupil of Flower. Kind of Flower to tuck him gently under his massive wings!
