What I like about your instruction Marcus is that your videos are short and to the point. You are easy to understand and your tuition brings instant results. And to be taught by a long drive champion can't fail to improve any swing. I'm not surprised your channel is growing, I can't believe you've not got a million subscribers. Thanks for all you've done for me.
Bravo Marcus. You're one of the few instructors - along with my mentor, legendary long hitter, Mike Austin - that understood that speed comes from the hands (more specifically one fast hand and one slow/reactive hand). You and your work are much appreciated.
Good to see you on youtube @mikeaustinrules. Love your videos (and swing), just as I do Marcus'. Austin and Edblad videos are the only golf instruction videos I watch. Have gained incredible distance and consistency doing so. Cheers
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Perhaps, but you've successfully used it in high-level competition and have been kind enough to share it, along with your own edifications, experiences, drills, etc. Thanks again!
Yesterday i played with a former ice hockey player, he plays with a split grip, right handed, left hand normal but right was right hand was right at the bottom of the grip, almost on the shaft, he waa the longest player I've ever played with, ridiculous distance. Good to see you are picking up many more follower's Marcus, well deserved
Only found you yesterday but loving all the videos I’ve watched so far, this particular video helped me knock the ball past my son this evening with a driver for the first time in twenty years! I’ve been looking for one coach to follow and your the man! Thanks mate👍
Marcus, firstly thank God you play left handed. I am a visual learner and it truly helps. Your simplicity in direction is spot on. Please keep the videos coming. I look forward to your common sense insight!!
Hello Marcus ! I’ve just discovered your channel and love it ! I’m 70 and have been golfing for about 30 years and have been down to a 2 handicap and started out at around 15. I used a very weak right hand grip at first and swung naturally and had a baby fade and the ball went about 280 with my Ping eye two 3wood. Problem was I couldn’t hit anything teed up especially a driver and my short irons were pathetic- ( high short fade , maybe 130 carry with an 8 iron ) , hahahaha. So I took a lesson and was taught how to hit a draw my moving the ball back in my stance and rotating and hitting out to the right, which was the opposite of what I did previously. So from there I was able to hit either shot and played like that for a few years but I was always trying to find a golf swing that let me just swing naturally and yet make solid consistent contact. I actually fooled around with something similar to what you teach and had great success but felt that it looked too “ unorthodox “ and of course when I hit a wayward shot , my group would jokingly say “ Paul , when are you going to stop fooling around with that goofy swing and start playing normal golf “ . Anyway, I tried your swing yesterday and hit some amazing shots and also a few hideous ones out to the right ( high push fade ) so I went back to my current version of my swing and shot even on the back nine but still could not get YOU out of my head! I really want to perfect your swing and UNDERSTAND it better . So my question is this - do you have any videos that not only show proper ball position for driver and 7 iron or wedge BUT is it possible to show that from a camera mounted above you ? I think that if I could see a slow motion swing of you with different clubs I could better determine ball position, plus see the angle of attack better and also see how much your body actually moves off and through the ball. Like you , I’m right handed and played hockey and baseball left handed so now , playing right handed I find my dominant, right hand , always overpowered my left and I am also afraid of “ flipping “ my left wrist through impact because apparently that causes a lack of distance according to the modern teaching methods but I see now that it’s a good thing and it allows me to release the club naturally. Ok, that’s enough yapping from me, lol, sorry , I tend to ramble on at times especially when the golf swing is concerned so thanks so much for your wonderful channel and you are very good at instructing and I just love your calm demeanour and dedication to your method and it is unorthodox but it is , I believe, the future of teaching golf so that people not only understand it better but can actually do it without causing so many injuries to the body because to me , NATURAL GOLF isn’t Moe Norman ( that’s Moe’s swing from hitting a zillion balls and not natural) although I would be fine using his swing but it killed my back. ) …….. YOUR SWING is NATURAL GOLF 👍😁👌 Thanks again for your time and looking forward to a video from above when you get a chance . Paul , Nelson BC , Canada 🇨🇦
Hi Paul. I will try to answer some of your questions. At first I don't like slow motion. It makes us think that we should try to do what we see. We need to try to do a lot more of some things to make this work. Watch this: ruclips.net/video/efRsbb--k5k/видео.htmlsi=5LHB7pmJ4j9NYPxv You are correct about Moe Norman, nobody can swing like Norman except Norman. A great but misunderstood man. I don't have the angle of video that you requested but if my channel keeps growing maybe I can afford to expand my video equipment so I can show every angle. The biggest choice you need to make is if you should be a dominant pusher (draw) or a puller (fade). When you mix the two you get a two way miss and a big headache. Keep me posted on your progress. 👍
?? Didn’t the legendary Ben Hogan tell us he wished he had 2 right hands? I’ve been striking the ball with such purity since watching your “effortless power” video! Thank you soooo much for your incredibly easy to understand/implement approach to the golf swing. Can you help me out with the divot I took out of my living room carpet? Lol
Unfortunately I'm 3 years late to this channel. Watched 30 videos today then hit the simulator. Just incredible how well I'm hitting the ball. Just ignoring all the ground force and hip rubbish I've been taught. Many thanks Marcus 🎉
So glad you are getting an uptick in viewers. I’ve watched all your videos for a couple of years now, even the Swedish ones, when I execute it correctly my push draws end up being significantly better then any type of swing ever tried.
Very unique point of view and make sense. Your explanation of fast and slow hand had broken my myth why I am forever inconsistent with my impact. It' actually stem from inconsistency of the speed in each hand and they don't work well with each other!. Thank you a lot Marcus
Love the explanation of one fast and one slow hand....2 hands, 2 different jobs! I tried this today at the range and I was amazed! I felt like my lead hand was pulling the butt end of the grip up-and-in instead of down and toward the ball (the scooping as you call it in some other videos). Maybe I just need the feel of my lead hand focusing on "doing something" other than pulling down.
This past Monday after watching one of your recent videos I went out and concentrated on releasing my right (trail) hand. I played my best golf of the year. I hit every fairway. I do not think it was a coincidence.
Instruction is pure class, Marcus. Some of your videos show an in to out path of 10 degrees. Do you try to aim for a similar angle inside during you take away? I try to exaggerate as you recommend and feel like, when I look down at my target line 9 to 3 on the clock face, I'm inside towards 4 o'clock. Maybe more (I'm a righty). Is that correct or too much? Release from here feels great but sometimes it draws too much! Thanks for the tips. Superb!
It's always a combination of path and face angle. I rarely find a golfer that hook the ball because of swing path but a to closed face is common. Watch this and see if it helps: ruclips.net/video/wi3xyG-OQNQ/видео.htmlsi=UYmMwpA5_vgSBU75
Gained another fan here thankd bery much .im omly a week into discovering your work but its quite incredible.,.mant thanks i shsll be putting some time into my practice this winter.
Just discovered your videos, they are fantastic. Tried out the scoop idea today on the range, when i got it right, its definitely got more pop off the driver. However, it also goes really high, so high that I think any additional club head speed does not translate into more distance. I am using a 9 degree driver turned down to 7.5 already with a 65g stiff shaft. Is there a way to get the benefits of the scoop release without lofting it up way too much? Thanks for the videos, a great channel.
Glad it went well. 👍 If you start hitting up with the driver it's hard to hit it to high, I rarely see that. If it's a draw and it's to high you could need to think about a new driver to work well with your new better driver swing. Good job.
Marcus, just noticed your YT slot. I think what you are saying is to just swing the club and let the body do what feels natural? Then you have to time the crossover of the hands? Quicker crossover is draw, slower is fade? This will, no doubt, have to be learnt by practice. I always have trouble keeping my lead arm straight on the backswing but notice that you bend your lead arm naturally and hit the ball okay as presumably it will be straightened at impact by centrifugal force? It would be nice to play this way without scrunching my body up into unnatural and painful contortions.
Marcus do you have any videos on grip? My neighbor plays with a baseball grip so his whole right hand is on the grip and he hits it pretty far! And what about strong vs weak lead hand grip? And what about people like Fred Couples who kinda lets go of the grip with his right trail hand at impact?
Hi Joe.A baseball grip can make it easier to feel the motion off your hands but it will slow you down in the long run. I have a few videos on grip and here is one of them: ruclips.net/video/PHlqI4-QMSo/видео.htmlsi=4fDGWiM-DRcijyM3
Marcus, at age 74 with a 17 handicap I have been looking for the secret sauce a longtime. I have spent sometime with your concepts, and I must say I have found the sauce. Trajectory, distance, accuracy, consistency. I am no longer searching. Wayne
Marcus. Do you do online lessons via the skillest app for example? I had a look on your website but couldn't see anything regarding remote lessons. Congratulations on your new subscribers. Ive been here a while but its good ro see new people discovering your method of playing golf. 50k by the end of tje year😊
Hi Jim. 50k is the goal. At the moment I don't do online support but I will. I need both time and a good platform for this and I'm trying to solve them both. I will let you know. 👍
Hi Marcus one thing I can't see clearly is the transition. At the top of the backswing do you loop clockwise or anticlockwise slightly to let the club drop a little behind before the trail arm movement?
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad thanks that's appreciated! I just played a few holes doing this and woods/ hybrids going well, driver is straight or a little draw but not much distance, probably releasing too late and too slowly. The sad fact is my driver is barely longer than 5W or 4H 😭
My swing thought for the last 8 months has been , right hand faster than the left (right handed) forget body rotation , if you swing your arms the body follows. lee Trevino says very much the same.
Marcus great video thanks. I have an unrelated question. You hit up 10 degrees with your driver, but I think have 3 degrees loft. Total 13 My driver is 10.5 degrees.if I hit up 10 thats 20.5. Seems a lot. So should I hit up less than you and if so how? 23 handicap, about 85 mph swing speed. Thanks
Hi Michael. Most golfers should not go higher than 5 degrees to get the best result. If you make it to 5 degree you will love your driver and your driver will love you. 👍
@GolfwithMarcusEdblad many thanks Marcus. To clarify, do you mean have a driver with no more than 5 degrees loft or don't hit up more than 5 degrees. BTW thanks to you I do love my driver now! Its super reliable to hit the fairway off the tee. A slight fade still but under control and a draw shot is in my future I am sure!
I have noticed in your other videos that you may stand a bit farther away from the ball than most of us do. Does that help you hit inside to out? I have tried it and it does seem to square my club up more, plus I don't feel as though I am coming outside in. Your thoughts?
So you are not intentionally standing farther....it's just how you feel and look based on your build. Makes total sense! Thank you! @@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
Hi marcus, been trying this swing out for few weeks getting good results but i noticed that the ball seems to go super high almost ballooning up, what could i be doing wrong? Thanks from New Zealand
Hi Jay. If we don't control the loft at impact it could happen. If you use more of a driver release when you hit your irons it will happen. Watch this and I hope you will understand: ruclips.net/video/LSUXZDyRMAg/видео.htmlsi=pRJgnvU9BDDswvsM
Amazing how no other golf instructors explain this concept in their lessons...it's so important or you'll block every shot. I tried this out on the range today and I had amazing results... but I guess I am out of shape as I pulled the muscle under my right shoulder blade... I was thinking of swinging a hockey stick and got carried away. Ha. I'm icing it now and have to take a rest from golf for awhile. Not sure how I did that. But it will give me more time to rewatch all your videos, which is a good thing.
Why do you back hand it? Are you as capable standing at the other side of the ball...? I'm a year or two older than you and stopped playing 20 yrs ago out of sheer frustration, I got down to a 6 handicap ,but couldn't stop hitting at the ball and was never sure where my tee shots where headed..During the last few years of insanity ..I've watched literally 1000's of hrs of golf instruction ,everything from Austin to Zen and I've got to tell you in my humble opinion, You ,Mike Austin and Shawn Clements are the Best! Good stuff buddy.👍
Thanks for the kind words. I have tried both ways but find it much easier to hit it left. My "smart" right hand controls the club face and my "stupid" hand can push forward. I don't think there is a right or wrong but I think we all should try both ways in the beginning. 👍
Funny you should mention hockey again - two of the biggest hitters (women) i've played with over the last year or so were good hockey players years earlier. There has to be a big clue here...even though your hands are miles apart on a hockey stick ...
If you mean a scoop I don't prevent it, I use it. Scoop is only bad if it happens in wrong time or place. Watch these two: ruclips.net/video/hXpX-yPJJOU/видео.htmlsi=FAcIhS2rhf5GU5KV ruclips.net/video/hl3MpyMKkNc/видео.htmlsi=7dGHoqPjsZv28DS3

I'm a year or two older than you and stopped playing 20 yrs ago out of sheer frustration, I got down to a 6 handicap ,but couldn't stop hitting at the ball and was never sure where my tee shots where headed..During the last few years of insanity ..I've watched literally 1000's of hrs of golf instruction ,everything from Austin to Zen and I've got to tell you in my humble opinion, You ,Mike Austin and Shawn Clements are the Best!
Good stuff buddy.👍
Thanks for the kind words. I have tried both ways but find it much easier to hit it left. My "smart" right hand controls the club face and my "stupid" hand can push forward. I don't think there is a right or wrong but I think we all should try both ways in the beginning. 👍
Isn’t this the same as rolling your hands over at impact?
It's far from it. This video will explain: ruclips.net/video/S6SJutggYcg/видео.htmlsi=3iwSNapifieFY0-j
Funny you should mention hockey again - two of the biggest hitters (women) i've played with over the last year or so were good hockey players years earlier. There has to be a big clue here...even though your hands are miles apart on a hockey stick ...
Hi Alison. In many sports we have the hands apart on the tool we use but can we bring the same motion in to golf, you have found the secret. 👍
How do you prevent a flip!
If you mean a scoop I don't prevent it, I use it. Scoop is only bad if it happens in wrong time or place. Watch these two:
