- Learn to move the club on the circle of speed and you will hit golf shot you only dreamed of. Give this the time and attention it needs, you will thank me.
You can contact me for a online lesson on: skillest.com/app/profile/marc...
Let me help you get a effortless golfswing with speed and accuracy. A good release will help you to a better impact and longer drives and irons without slice and hook.
Long and straight is every ones goal 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.
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 get better.
Find what inspires you. 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.
Mike Malaska, Mike Austin, Mike Dunaway 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. Linn Grant, Viktor Hovland and Ludvig Aberg can show you the future of golf.
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.
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.

So, that's the "circle of speed". Thanks for sharing this.
Thanks so much. This is why I can hit it like I do. 🙏
I love this but I have some questions..I feel on the backswing I need to pull the club behind me and up in order to move the circle as you show. Are we swinging 90 degrees out or are we swinging 45 degrees out…also I tend to hit the big ball before the little ball when I try this circle
@@spondiveswandive561 Try to keep it on your side. You don't want to get stuck behind you.
In my mind I'm at least 45 degrees from the inside all the time but it ends up being about 5-8 degrees in reality.
Hello. May I ask how you donate money to contributors of CZcams videos? Thanks for your help, if you give an answer.
@@vegardkarlsen9609 small "Thanks" icon with dollar sign inside a hear icon next to the "Share" button--right side under the video. Hope that's understandable.
No. Doubt. About. It. I’m 71; 5 feet 5 inches, but been playing golf since I was six. I’ve always been a “puller” so I struggled with over the top, pull hooks and pulled wedges. I’ve won a lot of local tournaments because I love to hit balls and practice and have a good short game. A couple weeks ago I started really concentrating on slow lead hand and fast trail hand, limited body turn, and circle of power. This is stress-free golf. I shot my age twice this weekend; shot 73 from the back tees yesterday, and today finished eagle, birdie, birdie, birdie for 68. My thanks to Marcus for giving me a different way to think about the swing that has turned out to be more powerful (faster), accurate and easier.
Great job. I'm glad to be a part of it. 👍
This obviously way more than a good teacher!
@@pier9501 👍
Wow thats impressive, your short game is more than good though
Well done, proper golf
You are without doubt the most intelligent golf coach and the most dedicated. Man your explanations are right on the money, your gonna enrich so many lives with your attitude to sport and life.Thank you so much for all the help so far.
Cheers
I appreciate that Thanks ken.
Thank you Markus for the great insights. After I watched one of your videos on using hands, I practiced for about half an hour. I then played my weekly golf league match and cut about 10 strokes from my usual result. I was even awarded player of the week. I will definitely watch all your other videos. (I am 78 y old)
Fantastic! Your progress is my motivation. Great job. 👍
This ‘backwards circle’ is quite brilliant. Other coaches call it shallowing. I’ve never been able to shallow. But this explanation makes perfect sense!
Nice to hear 👍
Agree! Shallowing or dropping on the inside for me has never felt natural and has proved very difficult to perform. The circle of speed has certainly made a great mental image for me to follow and it works.
I'm 79 and was hitting my drives in the 210-225 range. I play once a week and hit a bucket once a week. Still, losing distance to Father Time is scary. I used to be a fairly long hitter but now I was receding to Father Time. But what really made me upset was I could no longer draw the ball. I tried EVERYTHING to get my high draw back but nothing worked. When I found you, I was instantly trans-fixed. Simple, direct, utterly sincere, seemingly brilliant...could this be true? At first, I gobbled up many of your videos, looking for that secret clue, the one that had eluded me for so long. I saw the circle of speed video and tried it out but I didn't really get it. I somehow already realized that I needed to go back at the start of my downswing, not forward but I just didn't realize you were doing exactly what I was looking for. Too many videos in my head. Last week, I returned to this video and practiced the circle over and over relentlessly. And I am only beginning to get the feel of it. As you wisely advise, it takes time. Yesterday, I played and the most thrilling part of the day were my misses, the irons and drives, were almost all draws! I hooked the ball a few times but that was so welcome after all the little slices and misses that have drained my shotmaking and distance for so long. As for distance, 4 of my drives with my trustly old TM Burner were in the 250 yard range....it was soooo wonderful seeing them hit the ground and running out that extra yardage. What a joy! Marcus, you are a keeper. People with your generosity and gifts dont come along too often in life. You are deeply appreciated and beloved here. I am also so happy/relieved to hear that you are successfully dealing with your health issues. The world can't have enough of what you are and what you bring. Thank you.
I'm really glad you came back and tried it again. No change is instant and we need to put in the time to learn anything new. Keep going and it will only get better from here on. 👍
Best golf instruction ever! My scoring average has dropped from 96 to 87 in just two months. Hurry back!!
Glad to help. Great job my friend. 👍
I will watch this video a minimum of five more times at least. You just literally updated the golf swing software in my brain! Thank you for your dedication to helping so many understand a difficult mechanic in such an easy format!
Hi John. I like to hear that, software update. 👍
Shot my best round this week because of you Marcus (79). Thank you so much for all that you do for this community. The circle of speed is well explained here and is a game changer. Golf can be so dang easy...just listen to Marcus!
Thanks R K. I'm glad to help. 👍
This is it Marcus! This is the most important element there is in golf. Fantastic explaination and the drill is the key. I'm 71 been golfing since I was a kid...mayby 9 or 10. Those who helped us at that age told us all the wrong stuff. Had we been shown this from the get go, we all would be scratch golfers in no time! Thank you for this video!
I'm glad that you find value in my videos. 👍
Marcus, I have been playing golf for 23 years and got down to an 11 HCP. This is by far the biggest lightbulb of golf lightbulbs ever for me. The best explanation of the downswing on the internet period! The explanation of how far the club head travels for most golfers (me) and how far it should travel (with pros) is amazing and I can instantly feel lag, distance, club path and release all in one. Thank you for sharing this for FREE...!!!!!!
Thanks. Your progress makes me happy. 👍
This is the best golf lesson / video that exists in the world. Not an exaggeration. I could always hit a hook shot like Marcus explains (It goes miles out of bounds so it scared me) I never thought about what I was doing until I saw this video. It clicked from your explanation and now I can do the same thing with a draw instead of a hook! Thanks Marcus
Mason, I’m just glad you found the channel and it is valueble for you. Thanks for sharing. 👍
Thank you Marcus for one of best if not the single best golf video I’ve seen. Many instructors talking about transition, shallowing, tempo, timing, lag, wrist action and other details. Here you put it all together in one single feeling that really works. After watching the video I did the drill and made some full normal swings with this feeling in mind and the results were obvious, both is distance and accuracy.
Good job, Sir. I know this works like magic but it can be hard to master. Go for it. 👍
The very best golf instruction
Thank you. 🙏
Ahhh! This is why one day I hit a drive 270 versus my normal 210. Felt like I had swung " wrong" but I had so much room and time. At least that's how it felt.
Sounds like you found something interesting. Keep going. 👍
Just adding to the comments to say this guy is a legend. This really helped me visualize the club coming in from the inside.
Glad you think so. I try to be understandable. 👍
Danke! Thanks! Ím playing for 32 years now, always pulling it (ím lefty too - but not in every sport) - now i have a new brain concept😊
Happy to help! Thank you for your contribution. 🙏
I downloaded this and return to it on a recurring basis. Simple and clear foundational concept. Fixes so much.
Glad you say that, it's the foundation of my swing. 👍
Marcus, I tried this and had some great results. I also tried opposite stance, meaning, I stood nearly completely closed with my heels of my feet nearly pointed down the fair way…toes towards the ball. I’m a right handed player…but the feeling this gave me was that I had to swing internal and more from the inside (my right side). To me, this truly brought the feeling of… you have so much room on your trail side and swing path…the more I felt the “magic circle”, the more effortless my swing felt. To me, it almost feels like you can’t get the club inside too much…all the room for your swing and the power comes from that magic circle….this is great stuff. I hope you’re recovering and rejuvenating.
Great job. If you find/learn the circle of speed it will work great but it will feel different for everyone. Find the things you need. Keep going 👍
Absolutely the best explanation/instruction on the golf swing available online today! Thank you
Ray Ray, thank you for saying that. I try to make it understandable 😊
You saved my love of golf. Last week I couldn’t hit the ball and felt lost trying to use my body and felt slow and topped everything. I came across this video and soon watched your other videos. I played some of the best golf of my life today thanks to you. Thank you!
Great to hear! I'm happy to help. 👍
Fantastic at last I can swing the golf club.
You are the best.
Love to hear it. Thanks for following my tips. 👍
I found your channel yesterday im 78 recovering from cancer for the 4th time iplay off 18h/c adopted your early release shot 81 and beat 11 of my golf buddies happy days thank you Marcus 👍
Great to hear about golf progress and health progress. Keep going in the right direction. Your progress is my fuel to keep going. 💪
Marcus, I needed this. My irons went south and didn't know why. I do this with driver from watching you--but circle of speed just clicked. Trying it on course tomorrow. Warm day here; maybe a few tops, but this will be my swing thought. Thanks for the gift. I'll work at it.
Sounds good Ken. Go for it. 👍
You have made my day and I can feel the effortless results in minutes. Thank You, Thank You. I will use this drill all winter.
Glad it helped! Your progress is my motivation. 👍
This idea conforms to the laws of physics. To throw a ball with speed, you start with your hands together, turn your body and put your throwing hand backwards - behind you. This builds kinetic energy = speed once released. If the shortest distance between two points is a straight line, you cheat yourself out of speed and thru potential energy. This is probably the the best video and explanation of the golf swing I have ever seen. I tried your ideas yesterday at the range (irons only) and after a big bucket I realized that I was striking the ball purer (more pure) and cleaner. I wasn't worried about where the ball went but they all followed a straight path. I did not chunk a single ball. I'm 71 and I did not feel tired after hitting nearly 100 balls. No aches and pains as before. Here's hoping that I can continue to make this work every time I pick up a club.
Of course it takes a bit of time to learn but I really wish more golfers get the chance to experience what you have. Great job. 👍
I don't have words to adequately thank you! I've been getting really close to very good ball striking, mostly at the range (time limited). This progressed steadily this Spring/Summer particularly, with succesful, targeted tips I'd search out from Billy Fitzgerald, Malaska, AMG, Heritage, etc. I stumbled upon a video of yours and really enjoyed your concise, relatable (i.e.-easy to understand) instruction style. Then I watched THIS video. The "backward" motion of the club clicked like a lightbulb in my head. Being a "feel" player, I went to the range the next day to try it, and it just became so much more effortless almost immediately. I picked up 10-15 yards with all clubs. Control is unreal from 150 yards in. The flush feeling is what I've been looking for in earnest, literally for years. Again, thanks and keep up the great work!!.....:)
Hi Pete. stories like yours keeps me going. Thank you for sharing. Let's keep getting better together. 👍
A single digit HCP got me onto this video and frankly, having watched it a first time at the beginning I thoughht it's a prank. How can you even hit a golfball with full open stance? Then I thought it's one of the weirdest videos I've ever seen teaching golf. OK. Then I tried it and goodness my, complete epiphany. I can hit a draw these days (after lots work) but it always felt I needed tons depth in backswing and just the right sequence that was always trying to fall apart hands going first, especially when tired. With this video I finally after all those years got the sensation of the club going in retrograde naturally and wiping from the inside. Feels all unbelievably natural, even hitting open stance which I thought first was a joke. Only thing I have to check whether I can really get my weight through the ball with this with a bit of filming. Thank you for this unbelievably out-the-box video, it takes a genius to come up with stuff like this no'one else shows I know of.
I'm glad you tried it. I'm not a genius I just took my engineering brain and removed all unnecessary things and this was all I needed to do.
Sometimes it's hard to get golfers to try it but when they do it's a new world. 👍
Been on holiday for three weeks, just got back, first place I come is this channel, and look at the videos i missed, this one is indeed a biggie Marcus, top class instruction, can't wait to hit the driving range tomorrow, hopefully we'll get some good weather in England soon, itching to play again
Welcome back. Spring is coming but it feels far away.
Marcus, I’m 76 years old. I’ve been golfing over 60 years, self taught. I’ve been watching your videos and listening to you, the last 6-8 weeks. My game has improved drastically! Today I drew a utility club around a tree and onto the green!!! Thank you so very much. My golfing buddy has started watching your videos as well. He’s had professional lessons. Watching you has improved his game also. We can not thank you enough. If you’re ever going to be in the USA, please let me know. I would really like to meet you in person. Again, from myself and my golfing buddy, thank you so very much. Now we both understand our game and what we are doing correctly and conversely wrong. You are without a doubt the greatest teacher. THANK YOU!
Love to hear it. I'm glad you found me so we can get better together. 👍
Amazing concept ! Thanks so much !
You're very welcome!👍
Great drill Marcus. I will practice and practice until I get it. Thank you and take care.
Sounds good. 👍
Another great video... Beside I love your accent . That remend me listening to Mats Naslund giving interviews when playing with my beloved Canadiens de Montréal back in the 80's
Cool, thanks👍 I love being mentioned in the same sentence as a hockey star. 😊
Marcus, This is a breakthrough. As a life-long slicer wish I had this 50 years ago. I always knew this but just couldn’t figure out how to do it consistently. Thank you!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Many thanks for this in depth explanation. I'll be working on this in the morning.
I you make this happen it feels fantastic. 👍
Marcus, you've been a great help to me. Your videos are succinct. I just had my first 3 birdie round. Thanks.
Thanks Gerry. I’m glad to be a small part in your success. 😁
Thank you Marcus, have been struggling with my swing for months after taking up golf again in retirement. Even though I am 68 by using this circular motion I feel I have that fluid effortless swing that I had when I was a teenager. I have had lessons with professionals but no one mentions this. Just amazing.
Love to hear it. Let's get even better together in the future. 👍
I tried this at the range today and hit some of my best drives and irons. I love your instruction.... best on the interest...hands down! this was explained so well...thanks for everything you do for us golfers!
Glad it helped. Good job. 👍
Without a doubt the holy grail of all videos. I can see why this would be your number one pick . It would be mine also. AMG is the only other ones talking about this. PGA tour pros the hands actually move slightly backwards and down at transition and never out. The angle between the trail forearm and upper arm increase. Moe Norman talked about this. This is great stuff Marcus.
Thank you
Thanks. 😁
This completely throws out the dog wags the tail philosophy which was popular in the 80’s! Now I’m getting a better understanding of why I have been struggling with my swing for so long! I have been constantly thinking about my body and turning not using hands and arms! You would think that being a baseball player I would understand you don’t hit with the body it’s about throwing the hands! Thanks
I promise that in ten years more instructors will agree. I'm glad you found my videos. 👍
Yes I wasted a few decades lost in the body turn cesspool. Many years ago I played golf with my hands and then got lost in "body turn". Then I watched one of Marcus's videos about the trail hand overtaking the lead hand. After a few hundred chip shots into my sofa, my golf completely changed. Life is good after Marcus. I am 71. Since the change I have to hang onto to the club pretty good because I generate so much clubhead speed now that the club wants to fly out of my hands. Yeehah!!!
Brilliant. So clearly explained. I had a similar thought but I was doing it all wrong. I have a tendency to "drag/push" my club on the downswing which has led to poor golf over the years. But I recently started thinking about swinging in a circle. Your video clearly shows the right way to do it. Very nice work 👍
Thank you, Sir. I'm glad you think the video is valuable. 👍
Another great video Marcus. I need to get this down. You are the best instructor on CZcams
Thanks Larry. I appreciate that!
Thanks Marcus and all the very best for your recovery
Mahalo Marcus! Love your simple explanation! You are going to change lives, my friend! Right hand (righties) travels faster than the left to prevent slices, brought it home for me! Thank you!
Thanks Randall, I will try. 👍
Marcus, perfectly explained. I noticed this problem for me a while ago rather occasionally by looking at me at setup and from there controlling the way of the clubface from top to impact. But honestly it‘s so hard to overcome this terrible urge to go straight forward and down over the top, if there is a ball under me. I think, if one can get this movement the way you described, 90% of the work is done. Fantastic video, thank you.
Hi. This is not easy to learn, like you say we have a natural urge to do the opposite. It took me many tough hours to make my brain accept it but it is worth fighting for. Keep going. 💪
“Stupid simple”! That’s right up my alley!
We all need that. 👍
Marcus, thank you. I will go to the range today and face the target. I will also make sure I have my medical insurance card in the bag in the event I hurt something on my old (69) body. But, darn it, I will try! I am well beyond the age I can muscle the ball, and need to lessen my fatigue and frustration. I will try, and again, thank you!
Go for it. 😁
I like the "circle" concept, and it's no more obvious than in "Iron Byron", the swing machine. It operates on what amounts to a perfect circle. Good video.
I just hope that more golfers could see that circle when they practice. 👍
Marcus ,Great Advice ,Lesson on how to Shallow !Which is what I struggle With! Thank You Sir, hope You had an Good time in Florida!
Thanks, Florida was nice but to short. 👍
A lefty instructor! Awesome, subscribed.
Welcome. 👍
I remember doing a drill like this a year ago to swing out at the ball as far out to the side as you can. Your right instant draw. Might be why I can't hit up with the driver currently.
You can change back again. Give it a go. 😊
I will try this out and work on it. Thanks for showing this video.
It works really well but any change can be a bit of a struggle. 👍
Subbed. Great video. So easy.
Welcome!👍
Thank you Marcus. You're a great teacher
Thank you. 🙏
Fantastic video Marcus. I don’t know what motivated you to make it, but I sure am glad you did! As Jack said with regard to a tip he received from Arnold, golfers share because they want others to benefit from their knowledge. Thank you, hope things go well for you and yours.
All I want is to help one more golfer every day. 😊
Thank you so much - this has been a revelation 😊
Glad it was helpful!👍
Well said and clearly explained.
Thanks. Anyone who do this will not do anything else. 😁
Marcus Aurelius simply one of the smartest golf teachers
Thanks. 🙏
My goodness this felt amazing I’m in winter now but I went out and just swung the club this way and it felt great I can’t wait to see if I get more distance
I promise that if you can make the same motion hitting balls you will be happy. 👍
Thanks Marcus 🙏
Thanks for watching. 👍
Excellent video. I think this can help many people.
I hope so!👍
This is an amazing lesson. I will have to try this. I've just learned of you, and I'm impressed thanks
Glad it was helpful!👍
wow another great one. I like the drill facing forward will try that today. I used to do it with my back to the target to try and stop the over the top but this I think is better. I did notice that the wrist as you come forward drop the club back creating the circle of speed. I liked the back stroke feeling
You will feel when you make it. It feels strange and wonderful. 😁
Thank you for making this video! After 30 years of playing golf, this was my first true “aha” moment. The standing forward drill was truly eye opening and it really clicked.
Glad you enjoyed it! It works. 👍
what is the standing forward drill? Please share a link. Thanks.
@@orkayen Try watching the video duhhh
I subscribed. That's the least I could do for such a brilliant lesson. Thank you.
Thanks for the sub! Welcome. 👍
Hello from Nova. Scotia Thank you for this. Wow I am going to work on this. It makes souch sense. I'm an old hockey player as well and duh!! Didn't see that coming. I'm so psyched to start.
Glad it was helpful! Go for it. 👍
im gonna focus soley on this until i get it right> thank you for this info. im hoping ive finally found something that will help my swing
If you get this, you will be a very happy golfer. Go for it.
you are the best golf coach ever
Thanks. I try to be understandable. 🙏
Brilliant, thanks
Glad you liked it!👍
i will be the first to admit i have gotten off track,messing with my grip and elbow,old mental pictures die hard,facing the target is the cure for my brain,thanks again,hope you feeling better.
Mike I'm back to 100%. Keep going until you get what you want. Everyone can learn to do this. 👍
Thanks for putting up your make good golf common sense instructions. It makes sense and easy to understand. Why would other coaches makes it complicated?
Good question! I can't answer that. Most of us get destroyed by to many unnecessary details.
Excellent video.
Glad you liked it!👍
Unbelievably life changing. I am 73 and have struggled to hit the ball 200 yards since I took.up golf 2 years ago. Your circle of speed drill has me easily hitting 225 and accurately. Priceless tip. Thank you sir Facing the target and making
a circular swing is soon simple.
Nice to hear. I know it works so I'm not surprised. It's just hard to get golfers to try it. 👍
I need to work on ball position
Been playing golf for fifty years, this is the best golf instruction ever Absolutely brilliant. 10:56
And it works. 👍
Thanks!
Thank you, Sir. 🙏
Great concepts and channel. Would like to see you do an episode on your setup and philosophy on getting out of the bunker green side and fairway and another short game video please.
Hi Ken. There will be videos like that as soon as spring is coming to Sweden, promise. 👍
I deserve this. I can't wait to try this. Thank you Mr. Marcus.
Go for it. It works. 👍
Thank you!
I hope it makes you better. 👍
You're a genius!
I only give you what works but genius sounds good. 😁
Tnx For Your Great Insight, Been Watching on & Off For few Months & Can Now See How It Might Improve My Alternative Hammer Throw Swing. That swing gets me 7-10 yards with Irons But Hooked Too Much, Prob Using Ur 45 degs Principles & Swinging In to Out Can Groove it For Me, additionally Had Problems With My Hybrids Until Stayed Back That Is Why Re-Visited ur site and Teachings will let you know how it goes to incorporate the Hammer throw circle swing as Primary one!!!
Great to hear! Don't forget that the extension of the lead wrist is the cure for a hook. 👍
This is a very good observation and good information. I always like it when the instructor or teacher uses the fewest words possible to get his point across. Most instructors think they are better by speaking too many words.
It would be interesting to teach a simple swing truth with no words. Just demonstration.
I have students that are deaf and it works brilliantly. 👍
I think one key to reaching more golfers is to use an economy of words. People have a short attention span. If it can be said in 2 min. I think more people will likely click on it. There is also a place for longer explanations.
I will be playing nine holes later today with my 88 year old father! It is about 42 deg. F today. Golf is a great game and I will be putting your lesson into practice today!
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad
Hi Marcus, this early release feeling helps me a lot of.
It's a big piece in the puzzle of a draw. 👍
Great communicator
Thank you. 🙏
I watched a couple of your videos about a year ago and I didn't really get it, I thought you were another CZcamsr and that you just had really strong hands and forearms. But I recently watched your videos again and have had good results pushing thru contact with my right hand/arm. I feel its pushing way past impact in a way that if you were left or lead hand dominant pulling there is no way you could go thru that far thru the ball. This video of the magic backwards circle was very good. I've heard other teachers saying the club goes backwards at first but they seemed to be just using their wrist to make it go backwards, they never mentioned a backwards circle. When I tried swinging with my feet facing the target I finally felt what you said about a circle going backwards! One way I can envision the circle going backwards is to think of swinging backwards when the club is up over your head as in a full follow thru swinging high and behind you. So I've gone from being a disbeliever to a believer, thank you for your informative videos.
Whatever you are trying to do will take time. The feeling and most of the understanding comes from trying. Great work and thanks for your effort. 👍
This is absolutely gold Marcus , thank you ❤
It's not only gold, it works too. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad I've just realised the key for me to hit the draw naturally would be for me to have a slightly open stance, could this be because I do somethings left handed, but play sports right handed? I've never been able to replicate that top spin type tennis feeling for hitting a draw even though I've played tennis at a decent level, have you come across this before Marcus ?
@@simonggreen7383 We need to make a difference between stance (aim) and swing path. Many golfers I meet need to open the stance slightly to feel that difference.
Honestly, I saw this video and was doubting it a bit until I tried it. You really feel the speed of the club coming through you arms and hands.
If I can ask, could you do a video or point me to one where you go through your backswing and downswing? I've picked it up through watching a number of your videos but having a single video I can point my friends to and to use to practice with would be great.
Keep up the great work. Can't wait to try this on the course after some practice.
Hi. There are a lot of videos about the down swing. Here is one of the more popular:
czcams.com/video/BPG2qoX4l2c/video.html
This weeks video will be the purpose of the the back swing. Just wait a few days. 👍
This concept is so simple, so subtle, so counterintuitive, and so powerful, that it just might be "the secret".
Thanks for your kind words. I wouldn't go that far but it works really well and it's wonderful to be able to give it away on CZcams. 😁
Thank you, I'm going to embrace this.... Will let you know.
Sounds good 👍
Going forward is my problem....thanks for sharing
All new things is hard to learn. Keep going. 👍
best coach in the game .\
Thanks, I try to be helpful. 👍
This was absolutely fascinating…
And it works. 😊
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad it does, just been working on it and can see improvement in strike, distance and direction…. The concept of the club reversing back to the ball is so simple and yet it had never occurred to me, so thanks for pointing it out.
@@67spoon Thanks for trying it and trusting me. 🙏
Finally someone who explains what
' shallowing' actually means. Thankyou.
Going to try it out
With thanks
Brendon
Hi Brendon. Go and try it, it works. 👍
Thanks Marcas. Im 65 and desperately want to hit the ball longer and straighter. Will go hit some practice balls today
For me he is perfect 😄 because he appears to the older generation he keeps it simple but I still can't draw the ball and I am 67 I have tried 😊
The draw needs more/earlier release if it's still not happening. Timing is the biggest difference between fade and draw.
Hi Marco, Magic circle of speed is brilliant. It is simple and easy to understand, particularly the drill to stand 90 degrees to the target. I would like to inquire besides of irons swing whether it could also apply to driver and fairway woods swing. Thanks!
Glad it was helpful! You can use it with all clubs but it's harder with a longer club. 👍
Not sure yet whether or not this might be the best advice I ever received, but it just might be!
Give it a chance, it is worth it. 👍
I've been practicing the circle of speed in my backyard since watching this video yesterday. Its difficult, but I feel like it's getting easier. I can't wait to try this at the driving range, perhaps this weekend. Thanks for this video Marcus.
David. Everyone can do it but not many will take the time to learn it. Go for it.
I tried this at the range today and I was happy with my results considering that I've only started practising this recently. I hit a lot more drives consistently in the centre of the face. I've never consistently hit the centre of the driver face like I did trying this method. I'm going to stick with this at the foundation if my golf swing. Sure I hit some bad shots, but I'm still learning this technique. I still managed to hit a few fades and one or two slices, but at least I now know that it's just because I released late and it's not a swing path issue. I'll work on my release with the driver and keep working on the circle of speed.
@@david.ke1978 Sounds like you did really good. It took me a few month to get the feeling to be comfortable.
I still have a very very long way to go, but I feel like I'm in the right track with this. Thanks Marcus.
@@david.ke1978 You will get there. 💪
HI Marcus, your lessons are terrific, thank you. I wish CZcams would have a feature to watch a mirror image of the video. I think I might start holding my laptop up to a mirror and watching your videos that way 😀
I know we are a minority but if you take the time to understand instead of trying to copy your success will be bigger. Keep going. 👍
Hi Marcus, for me, seeing is a big part of learning, but I definitely understand what you're asking me to do, thanks again for your instruction and your personal responses 👍@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

Brilliant, the famous Joe Nichols Rotor Drill but Facing the target, love it!
Thanks, I will check him out. 👍
Enjoy your videos very much. I think I FINALLY get it. Please tell me if I'm wrong, but what's working for me is basically swinging along the same line the shoulders make at the top of the backswing. In other words, straightening the right arm with what feels like towards right field - instead of sort of wrapping the right arm around your chest to the target. I feel more room and a more fluid swing. A nice high draw when I do it right, but still fighting the release and then a dead push right. Anyway, thanks very much! 🙂
Sounds good. The more we can ignore the target and swing out (right field) the better it's gonna get. 👍
Already is. Thank you Sir!@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad

It felt amazing. Today, I hit 4 fabulous drives using this method, I only played 9 holes.. It feels odd throwing the club head away at the start of the downswing, I feel like I might even miss the ball and I need to adjust how close I am to the ball. I didn't measure the drives but they must have been close to 290-300. You just have to trust in it. Just trust this method and you'll get there.
Nice to hear. I know it works but it feels strange to do it in the beginning. 👍
