Get More SIDE BEND in the Golf Swing for a Repeatable Primitive Action
Vložit
- čas přidán 25. 01. 2022
- We've all heard of side bend in the golf swing but as is the case with anything movement oriented, what use is side bend if you have no feeling for what it actually is? Otherwise it's just another golf term thrown around with little-to-no meaning. The golf swing is a primitive action and side bend is a part of the golf swing. Which makes it innate, we just have to be able to recognise it to then tap into it. Huge thanks to Sam for letting us share his ZEN Golf mechanics experience with you guys!

Always fills me full of joy seeing peoples reactions! My biggest problem is (having seen Marcus a couple of years ago) not reverting back to bad habits. I’ll have a couple of weeks every now and then where I can’t hit a cows arse with a banjo. Then I decide ‘reset’ time, get to the range, and start from scratch. It’s always amazes me how relaxing and swinging what feels miles to the right does for my driving - results in a lovely baby draw! Same but to a lesser with the irons and bang that mat 😂
Just need to switch the focus of attention externally to the cow's arse, lee! 😂👊
Students seems always amaze of what they are able to accomplish after a "ZEN" lesson. Great stuff! 👏
Going hard in the cold in the winter makes me happy, keep grinding.
I love how almost all of the students look at the club face after their new swing - like they can't believe the new feeling. I want to experience that! So much that I am working on a trip across the pond - hopefully soon...
Having had the experience, the other effect is just laughing at how the ball has been hit (I say it that way because the effortless power makes it feel like you aren't doing that much) - it really is extraordinary. It's still a lot of work to embed the new habits and overcome the old nonsense, but my game is definitely improved and my handicap is at an all time low - all thanks to Sam (at Zen).
Thanks for the feedback Philip! And Jimmy, we shall look forward to seeing you at some point in the future.
Brilliant instruction! You can see the look on his face when he gets the AHA moment. Keep up the great work!
Love this stuff guy’s go from hitting slices to hitting pro like draws on command That’s something I need to work on side bend while focusing on that draw shape to the target I’ve got to much noise from what I think the swing should look like instead of just doing a task ie hitting a ball to a target with a stick
I think I need to 'Copy & Paste' the words - awesome video yet again 👍 Great to see the results Sam managed to get. I have been working hard with my Zen lesson video + GRFi System, and I can honestly say it's the best golf I've ever played. I have more passion (always a golf nerd anyway!) for the game now, than I ever did. Purely as a result of visualising and actually seeing the shots I want to hit! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Awarded to Marcus and all the Zen Team ⛳️
Thanks so much for taking the time to comment this, Paul. Means a lot 🙏
beauty. so simple and deep in mechanics. thank you so much!! greetings from Kazakhstan, and happy new year !
Amazing teacher.
What an unbelievable instruction video, can’t get enough of them, absolutely brilliant tuition on how to swing Naturally.
Thanks Mick, glad you enjoyed it
Once again, a different approach to get a student to get a draw, you alway seem to find exactly what each students needs to do. Amazing.
the last piece of the puzzle for me was side bend. What a huge difference. I tended to stand up the throw my right shoulder "over the top", but after the side bend piece, what a difference. So much easier to get the draw path started. Thanks Marcus!
That's awesome, Mark, well done
Me too I played pretty good but can’t hit the draw without really working hard to do it I know I don’t have the side bend to do it now can’t wait to try it out
Great stuff 👍🏼I’m taking my grf kit to the range on Monday evening to run through the system for my lad to have a crack at it... he’s off 10 but I’ve always thought he should be in low single figures. I’m hoping that I don’t ruin his, already, good game! After my own experience with Sam I’m convinced it will help him, particularly with shot shape, and I’ll be sure to use the video coaching instead of using my memory of what worked for me!
This is excellent. Great coaching
wonderful coaching incredible results
You guys made my day!
What a transformation! Well done 👏
Cheers, Neil!
Fantastic video Marcus 👏👏 keep them coming 😁🏌️♂️
Will do, Martin, thank you
Great stuff.
Slightly worried about him hitting that wooden post when you went outside with driver though😅
The lads reaction says it all, I didn't even need to look at the shot!
The whole reason we do it.
Another Outstanding video! Great work!
Cheers Tommy!
Truly remarkable lesson and instruction 💎💎💎
🙏 thank you, Sam was a fantastic student
absolutely outstanding video!!!!!!
Thank you!
I went to a friend who has a sim in his garage. I have hit a fade with driver for decades. I felt like I was exaggerating the path to the right so much I was swinging sideways but the numbers said 1-2 degrees in to out. It’s amazing how much you have to exaggerate to learn a new movement.
Thanks for the always great and informative videos Marcus
There can other reasons for this but for the most part recognition of new space can feel very alien at first, indeed!
@@GRFGolf it really does but thanks to your videos I am starting to use the ground for the first time in my golf game. Love the combination of in-depth analysis coupled with easy drills to build the feels. That’s the combination that helps me learn more quickly
Absolute genius
Just....WOW!!!!⛳💡💡
Amazing 👏🏽
Thanks!
Another great video
Thanks, Kevin!
So good!
Cheers, Rob
He was very exited...I wish you were closer to BOURNEMOUTH,,,I would be your first customer
very good very nice
Great stuff as always.
(Bit cold there recently??!)
It's been a tad chilly indeed 🥶
Fantastic
Thank you, Mark
Wonderful when the light bulb switches on.
The best!
Gosh this game is easy, I might just quit and live vicariously thru your students. Nah, playing is to much fun cheers to all of you guys... students, cameraman and Marcus.
Thanks Simmo! Appreciate the shout-out to our often unsung hero in the cameraman too 😂🙌
Why do I find it so hard to fade the ball even when I think about swinging left? I have a neutral grip but for some reason the club face wants to close.
What could the reasons be please?
At some point the club face will close so we don't want to restrict that release for a fade, try shifting your path much further left than what you perceive at this stage as being left!
I am so scared for Marcus when he's in the line of fire. His students are working on new swings, and I feel that a shank is never far away.
The lessons last 3 hours so depending on the circumstances proximity to the student when firing balls through the hoop is appropriately applied! It's pretty impressive what happens to performance when the shift of attention is shifted externally. I do appreciate your concern, however 😂👍
I’m going to figure how I can get over the pond to take lessons with the JEDI MASTER MARCUS!!!!
I shall look forward to it, Sean
The assumption is most issues are down to over coaching and too many swing thoughts.
I, like very many, have had very few lessons (2 in my case), and still have many of these bad I swing issues.
So, it's not all about "de-programming".
You are teaching technique, but in a different way.
We're never "de-programming" as such, rather than allowing all we have learnt to re-organise itself. We can't just magically forget what we've learnt up until now. And lessons aren't at the epicentre of swing thoughts as everything we watch, read, listen and experiment with or without a coach shapes our perceptions. Often we just need a change of our environment to elicit greater certainty over the execution of all that we've learnt to date.
