Shortly, people WILL realise that the is the No1 channel on You Tube etc. same guidance time after time without changing an iron swing just to make the next video different from the last. Well done!

Oooo this one is VERY zen - that concept of the car stopping and inertia throwing you is one of my favorite simple golf thoughts

I've been waiting for this one. This is my all time favorite! I've watched a lot of Zen Golf videos but this one consolidates everything you teach. This should be the first video everyone watches to understand Zen methods and techniques.

Yep this one explains best how to create effortless lag using weight transference. My biggest issue is keeping hands, wrists, arms and shoulders relaxed enough to let them freewheel through to a nice balanced finish. May way steel Jack Nicklaus waggle and swing trigger, he seems a decent player to model

Like everyone’s comments. I’ve seen plenty of your videos and this one tied it all together for me 👏

Fantastic demonstration of how the body moves naturally in a golf swing. No need to try to hit positions in the swing, it happens automatically when you let your body do want it is built to do. As always, love your teaching. You are the true guru of golf instruction. Other instructors should pay you to be taught this way of teaching golfers.

One of the best demonstrations of the ideal golf swings ever.

You should have at least 500k subs man. I've been missing this "feel" for as long as I've played. Spent thousands on lessons and this is the best beta I've seen on the golf swing.

Okay so I thought I was somewhat educated with this thing we love called golf but watching and listening to you has made me realize that I am only in the 2nd grade lol! GREAT stuff my man and I have found a new coach! Again I would definitely make it a point to take a vacation & fly across the pond to get a couple of days with you. Seriously, do you know how good your stuff is lol!

Marcus this has to be the best video you have ever done and that’s against some pretty stiff competition - great work buddy

You've just made my day Marcus, and very possibly fixed my slow swing speed issues. I'm so fortunate to have found you. Thanks so much from USA, Wisconsin!

Was that a cheeky 183 carry with an 8 iron? Yes please Marcus!!. See you guys on the 30th July for my lesson!!!

I amazed how similar the examples of the " lack of power " swing without deceleration and the " pressure shifted " swing with deceleration look to the observer .......I am trying hard and have watched this video multiple times to grasp that " pressure shifted " deceleration feel, trying to add power and distance..... ( currently my best 7i carries an average of 120yards , with a club head speed only in the mid 70's ) .....I have been practicing indoors daily, trying to improve during the winter months by swinging a short club and feeling that pressure shift ......thanks much Marcus .......

Brilliant video! New subscriber! Thanks.

Brilliant!!!!!! The awareness I gained, doing these simple movements, gave me an understanding I previously lacked.

A MASTER class . Congratulations Marcus. Excellent

Great video as usual,right arm only swings helped me get down to 3 hcp,but not quite in the way you describe.Whilst feeling the wrists and clubhead release is a valuable skill to learn, but in IMHO its not what the great ball strikers do, well at least not since the invention of steel shafts! As Hogan said in his book,if you hear someone talking about wrist action you know they're amateurs.Great ball strikers use all the great techniques and drills you describe in your great videos to load,maintain,substain and release the shaft through the ball giving great speed and stability at impact.

You’re the BEST. I’ll be in London for a few days. Are you close?

Wow. You got me out of a rut. Love the primitive nature of applying pressure . I’m a 53 year fit ish tennis coach. Got my 7 to carry 165 wind not helping. But love the fluidity. Although my dad indicated I was getting all this power with half a swing so not sure how I should try and increase length of backswing. But this is a really good lesson. Thankyou

You can try and lengthen the time it takes to shift pressure to influence swing length but to be honest if you swing it short, you swing it short! Always good to play around with things and experiment but that may be your natural action

Excellent video Marcus. I notice that Dr Kwon teachings seem to be very well aligned to yours and often on his videos people mention you and Zen in the comments. Do you know of his work? If so, do you find your philosophies to be similar. Both seem to be excellent ways to learn free flowing rhythmical motions. Very impressive

Great video but you need to explain how the arms work in the downswing, do they stay with the body with a bit of side bend or do you mentally drop them first so as not to have an out to in swing?

Amazing

Cheers, Donald

I was surprised to see how early pros begin to shift their pressure back towards target in the swing, with some doing so when the club is barely past parallel on the backswing. I think for most amateur golfers it so counter intuitive especially as the club hasn't reached the top of the swing, but as demonstrated here it's an important reason why pros hit the ball as far as they do. Also as also you point out, that shift in pressure buys you time at the top of the swing. It's a lovely feeling 👌

@GRFGolf

You got it, the concept of a "backswing" and "downswing" sometimes doesn't help as it can reduce it to parts when it's a whole, fluid motion

Very impressive. Makes sense out of a tough sport.

....Casting in fishing. It's the abrupt stopping of the hand that makes the speed in the top of the rod. counter movement.

Them old school loggers that used the hand saws to cut trees would have a good golf swing!! They really used there lower body to work them saws

Might have to take up a new hobby 😉

F=ma , lower body contributes more to the mass than the acceleration. The release is the main source of acceleration

I saw the other video, there is rotation before you jump, where is the rotation here?

Throwing body mass..excellent Like Bruce Lee's 1 inch punch.

Create more momentum going back so you increase your hip and torso rotational range. Take a look at some earlier tutorials on rotation 👍

Hi you talk about natural movements which makes sense but I see you roll release through impact, try and throw a ball with the same roll release …..?.. is this natural?

Yes, been doing these kind of drills for years. You'll see if you go back through the channel. Lots of different variations depending on what's required for the player 👍

I just don't understand the forward and backwards motion you speak about. Your drill is to step to the side with each foot and then swing the club!? Doesn't stepping to each side move mass rather than pressure? I struggle with swaying because i don't understand the forward and backwards movements with the feet.

Not if you're using the ground, mass will inevitably move but the idea is that we use the force from the ground to shift that mass
