Stay behind the ball & move your weight forward - Is that possible?
Published 2023-11-07
Let me help you get an effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. I call it the circle of speed. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook. How to swing a golf club need to be adjusted to your skill level and experience.
Long and straight is the goal for everyone 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. We focus too much on rotation but no good golf shot will be executed just by rotating.
I’m naturally right handed but all my tips works for both left handed and right handed golfers.
We also need to understand that many myths in golf are misleading. Everything that you find on the internet isn’t true. Ben Hogan, Sam Snead are two of legends that are often misunderstood.
We shall not keep our head still, only start with the hips, look only at the ball or keep the left or right arm straight.
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 always get better.
Find what inspires you. Golf basics are the same for everyone. 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. Be careful when you watch a golf swing in slow motion. The result isn't always what the golfer is trying to do. Feel and real are seldom the same.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway, Pete Cowen 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.
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. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
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.

Thanks! For the great videos!!

You are an amazing person instructor and teacher. Thanks Marcus

What I gather from this tip is finding balance. I'm 67 and can drive a ball accurately between 275 and 300 +, but I can't do it swinging out of my socks and shoes. I find my timing and ball striking are optimum with a 3\4 swing. I'm able to generate a swing speed of high 90/low 100's and able to easily accomplish what you go over in this video. Flexibility is the key component, and having a solid pre shot routine. Really enjoy your common sense approach to making this sport simple, and fun.

What a great video Marcus, vital for consistency, ball striking and great distance, took me a while to ingrain this with my driver, but now comfortable with it regained my lost distance, important at almost 70

thanks for addressing this issue and explaining the differences of weight shift for the driver and irons.
-
Thank you for a great visual

Fantastic explanation, Marcus! I know some of the viewers have your indoor simulator videos, but I wonder if they've ever looked at your peak height numbers with a stock driver, and compared it to their own. I think most golfers have a feeling of how their driver flies, but have they measured it on a simulator and compared it with yours and other pros. They might be very surprised.

Hit underside of the table. Wha great visual 😊

I’m sure this is the key to avoid coming over the top, thank you! I can’t see why it’s not good for iron shots as well though. If I allow my head to move forward I tend to pull my irons, even wedges. Staying behind with the head until after impact is vital for any swing don’t you think? You must of course get your hips forward (letter C shape), otherwise you can hit it fat. Agree?

Another good video Marcus 👍 Just wanted to ask something to see if I'm on the right track. From the top of my backswing I feel as if I'm pushing and straightening my trail arm in the opposite direction to where I want the club to end up. So if it were a clock and straight ahead of me is 12, I feel as if I'm pushing back in the direction of 4/5. Does this make sense, or am I talking nonsense? 🙂 Cheers!

Do you have any tips/ drills to consistently hit the ball well with the driver ? would you just recommend to hit a lot of balls with different speed ? I feel like my Smash factor is so random. I Have been trying to keep my head back to have a positive attack angle on trackman, but it goes too high with a lot of spin because of my bad strikes. Appreciate your videos.

Thanks!
-
Good video, one question, don’t know if it’s camera angle, but you seem to be a very high position of tee peg, seems almost ball and a half above?
-
Hi Marcus, May I know what's your in-out angle for driver? TX
-
For me the hardest part is getting the center of mass going forward and not the top of the spine going with it. Any image advice you can offer

At 70 years of age I’m adding to my Channel Lock protocols your how to strike the golf ball … it’s taking some time but the results are good With your driver where is the ball position? The ball tracer looks like a wide draw … is that correct? If so do you ever try and tighten up that wide draw so the width is more compact? I’m presuming the face angle is equal to your swing path angle? Do you ever consider Ball Flight Laws when setting up with your irons and driver One of your previous videos addresses this but the draw ark looks as the face and swing path are the same? Great explanation on how to finish up…something I catch myself not doing and for me it’s a push ball Great video and I appreciate your answers to my questions 👍

When i try making low point 2 feet behind the ball, then swing up.. i only top the ball
