Should We Pull or Push In Golf Swing? One will give you longer and straighter golf shots...
Вставка
- Опубліковано 24 вер 2024
- We need to decide if we should pull or push in our down swing. What you choose do will help or destroy your desireable swing path.
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.
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.

Thank you so much. 🙏
Today is a very special day for me.
I extinguish all my golf videos ! Hundreds !
And tomorrow i will bring all my golf books, except the little red book, as a donation to our library .
Reason ? I tried it and started to reeducate my swing thought in the downswing.
Since ten days, i hit every day 300 balls with one thought in the down swing:
Away and down ! Detour !
After 4 days it worked so unbelievable good i could not believe it. Next day again : Can not work again. But it did work again. And again and again.
Old fashioned ? My golf balls are not very intelligent They do not care if modern or not.
They just want to be hit from the inside.
Mr. Edblad, you did the best service for the game of golf and the players.
Just a man in a simple t-shirt, with a golf club, on a range somewhere in Sweden brings the best Information in golf you can get, when you hit over the top.
It is the opposite of 95 % of the golf content on youtube is about.
BETTER PUSH THAN PULL ! WE MUST UNDERSTAND !
Thank you, Mr. Edblad !
I'm very happy to help. Good job, Sir. 😁
Marcus I've been going through all of your videos and yesterday hit on this one, and it was transformational! This move added to your other concepts of the circle of speed and others, this made them come together…Wow! Explosive hits off the club and a sound I've never heard before at impact, unbelievable. I was laughing out loud at how easy the swing felt , as well. You are truly a golfing genius. I'm now spreading the word to all my golfing 🏌️ buddies to go and check out your channel out if they want to improve. Thanks ever so much for sharing your golfing wisdom with us. Cheers from Nova Scotia, Canada 🇨🇦 MikeR.
Great job Mike. I'm glad to be a part of your improvement. 👍
Marcus this will hopefully be a light bulb moment for many of your viewers. During my work with your swing, moving DOWN from the top instead of at the ball, or around, was such a huge game changer for me, and I think there are a ton golfers that could benefit from the knowledge that you just shared. Excellent!
Hi my friend. This is the opposite of what many golfers have been trying to do for many years. This change will be hard for most golfers and magic for all golfers. Keep going. 💪👍
Marcus, I'm eternally grateful for your videos, pushing with the right rather than pulling with the left, has totally changed my game, palm down for irons, facing up for driving, i would recommend everyone to try out you're teaching philosophies
Hi Richy. I have been doing this for more than ten years in Sweden and I'm just glad that series of videos can help world wide. 😁
What do you mean Palm up for driver? Could could you explain what you mean? Thanks in advance.
@@RickMansur check out his video irons v driver
@@richyclubsport5155 Thanks, I will!
Another great Vid Marcus, heading out today at noon for 18. I will remember the push and swing circle and let you know how it goes
Have fun!👍
I don’t know if I do it within the downswing, but since watching your videos Marcus, my sole swing thought on the way back to impact is to push the club through with the trail hand… and I am hitting my hybrids and iron the best I ever have 😊 still getting there with your advice on driver… but I am so much more consistent now… so thank you 😊
Hi Chris. I'm glad you find it helpful. Keep it up and your driver will work eventually. 👍
I turned my game and ball striking into a huge difference from my old way of pulling down. Thanks Marcus! You’ve revolutionized my game into hitting much longer and accurately with this advice!! I can’t believe nobody is teaching this!
Thank you. Sometimes I feel alone but I have you all. Your progress is my fuel. 👍
This makes so much sense. Thank you for advice. Shared with my son and subscribed today. Left hander….like myself.
Welcome. I'm glad you find my channel valuable.👍
Goodness, now I know what it is that I have been doing wrong. Your insights are remarkable. Will now endeavor to “ push “ the club more than “ pull “. Thank you Marcus.
It works but a change can sometimes be difficult. 💪
Great visual to get the club back on the shaft line by throwing it back to it and not pulling it away from it
Good lesson
Thanks. 👍
its unfortunate that the OBSCURE golf channels have the least viewership BUT THE MOST VALUE AND SMARTEST PEOPLE THAT (((( ACTUALLY KNOW WHAT THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT )))))
I HOPE YOUR CHANNEL GROWS TO MILLIONS !!!!!!!!!! ONE OF THE VERY BEST INSTRUCTORS ON THE INTERNET !!!!!!! GREAT CONTENT AND BETTER DELIVERY OF CONTENT THAN ANYONE ELSE GREAT JOB MARCUS !!!!!!!!!!!!!
It's growing slowly my friend and that makes me happy. Thanks. 👍
I’m almost sure this how I started playing golf before it was “coached” out of me. Our pro said I wasn’t wide enough and to keep my hands as far away from my body as possible. I always argued that I could get more centrifugal force if my arms were close and bent and then unleash them during the downswing. I took his advice unfortunately and I felt like a rather stiff robot for the next 20 years!!! ☹️
Thank you Markus for making it fun again.
Jamie, I think you have found what you were looking for. 👍 Welcome to the channel.
Another great video.. a lot of instructors tell people not to do this and say it’s throwing away lag. It’s hard to argue with 160 yard PW strike however
Mason, it is throwing away lag. We create lag to use lag to get speed. Holding lag is the same as standing on the brakes.
this is one of my favorite videos of yours..... so well demonstrated and explained.... easy to understand. can't wait to try this at the range
Have fun!Thanks. 👍
One of the counterintuitive things in golf is that, in general, being strong does not lead to being fast. In fact, strong is often the opposite of fast.
Absolutely. I have thirteen year olds with hardly any muscles that hit there driver 220 and big storm men that can't reach 175. More of speed this coming week.
an elephant is strong, but certainly not fast....they don't necessarily correlate
I started following your videos a few months ago and I like what I see...thank you for your explanations easy to understand but a little more difficult to integrate into my left-handed swing...but I give myself some time this winter to practice this concept...merci encore une fois!
Thank you for posting. I know that every change is harder than we think and takes longer than we hope. Keep it up. 👍
Great tip as always and I hope that people will work on this!
I hope so too!😁
I’ve always been told to pull with trailing arm. Never had a lesson. Very interesting theory.
Hi Ben. If you wanna hit a fade/slice it's correct but not if you wanna hit a draw...
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad plus I’m a lefty too I really need to get my swim shallowed. I’m only 5’7” so I think I need the extra room for speed you talk about. Thanks for the ideas! If I ever make it to Sweden, I’d love a lesson.
Ah, push away, not down. Got it! Thanks.🙏🏻
Try it. 👍
Thank You for this vid. I have never ever heard the downswing described as a push to start. I have only ever heard pull or drop for the past 30 years and I am always steep or coming over the top. Trail hand push changes feel and path instantly for me. Thank You!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Glad it was helpful! 👍
Outside season ended, today. Marcus, I've never hit the ball as consistently well and long with all clubs--especially driver, which has become my favorite. Looking forward to your inside practice sessions. Thanks!
Ken, winter season starts next week. Good job. 👍
Hey Marcus, your video was perfectly timed! I couldn't figure out what the difference in my swing was, it felt like I was making a powerful move but I was really struggling to swing to the outside. I was listening to my ball, but I couldn't understand everything it was saying, but I'm pretty certain it was laughing at me 🤣 After watching your video I realized I was trying to pull the club from inside out instead of pushing it. Pulling may feel like a strong move but really all you get out of it is your golf ball and playing partners laughing at the weak and scattered shots. I'm really looking forward to hitting the range later and push instead of pull on my downswing.
I truly appreciate you taking the time to make all the videos and for helping us. I wish I would have known your method many years ago, if so I could have saved a fortune on lessons and all the lost golf balls! You are amazing, thank you very much!
Thank you Sir. I'm just glad to help and deliver ideas that I really know works. Keep going and let me know of any speed bumps. 💪
@@GolfwithMarcusEdbladThank you, I will. I don’t know why I started pulling versus pushing, it makes a huge difference, one bad, one awesome! I am very grateful and I am fully committed to your way, it makes so much sense and is incredibly easier! I no longer think about turning, getting my weight on my trail leg, turning, holding on to create lag and then posting on my lead side. I simply let the club dictate the turning and posting. All I have to think about is swing the club to the inside, push it to the outside and smile 😀
Hi， Marcus. Your release methods help me a lot of, especially for driver, I can hit the ball longer and higher. Hope you come back soon.
Happy to help!👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad The pushing feeling is holy grail for driver and add 20+ yards at least. You vids always tell the truth and short cuts for weekend golfer as us. Many thanks.
@@hongtao2932 I'm glad you treated me enough to try it. 👍
Thanks Coach . . . .
👍
Very good! Why should a right handed player play a left hand backhand instead of a right hand forward? This makes so much sense! Thank you for helping me to hit longer and play better and more fun golf!
The forehand power is the foundation of the draw. I'm glad it was helpful. 👍
Thank you!
Happy to help. 👍
Hi Marcus loving your content and I've hit some of the best iron shots of my life within days of coming across your channel.. I know you've said you hate fade but my course has 2 holes that demand a long fade if you want to hit the green. could you do a video on what you do for a fade .. also can't find a detailed vid on your backswing thoughts sure a lot of players might be totally out of position to use your downswing actions if you could cover that too please.
Hi Stuart. Glad that my videos has helped. The back swing will be discussed in the future but not the fade, sorry. The reason is simple. If you watch a fade video and then a draw video and you don't understand the difference to a hundred percent it will mess up your shots. I teach fade but not on video.
Have you ever watch Peter Croker method ? This is a lot what he teaches the push method . Good stuff
I haven't, I will try to find some. 👍
I tried this out today focusing on pushing away from the target...whereas before i was just using the push feeling to start downswing. I got rather interesting results. It felt awkward and it really promoted a hook spin. But a few good strikes and i see the benefit. Will keep working at this.
A good start, keep going. 👍
I happened to be working on this feel the last few days and I feel the word you used 'circular' can really help conceptually. Initially, I found difficulty in placing my awareness somewhere useful in order for me to feel this movement correctly. Conversely, when I imagined the circle the clubhead should/will inevitably make, it doesn't make sense to take a expedient detour by pulling and instead the movement you speak of in this video comes pretty easily I found. I know everyone differs in feels but I feel this thought of the circle that you mentioned may be a helpful focus for people who are having difficulty with this. Thanks for yet another cracker Marcus!!
Nice Christian. I will get back to the circle many times in the future. Keep going. 💪
Awesome! Can’t wait!
Thank you again Marcus.. Excellent 👏👏.!!! Herb 🇮🇪☘️
Thanks for watching. 🙏
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Do you have any drills to practice the pushing method? Such a great piece of advice and definitely something I need to work on.
Hey Marcus hope you're well friend! Excellent video ! My question today is pertaining to grip weak neutral or strong? Would you recommend one over they other to make this push feel more natural? Thanks in advance
Hi John. If you have a weak grip you can do a more aggressive release and if you have a strong grip you can you need to do a less aggressive release. I like the natural to slightly week gray because then we can really use our hands and hit the ball with more speed and with more release.
Your videos are good. You quickly get to your main point. I'm working on your main concept of pushing the club not pulling it. Please include a slow motion swing of yourself in each video. I have one question. It looks like you start your swing by lifting the club off the ground, then start your turn. Is that correct?
PS I never commented before about any video, but you are onto something good. Keep going.
Hi Gerry. I will keep going and I have two videos about what you ask about:
ua-cam.com/video/_K0KHj9QiaY/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/efRsbb--k5k/v-deo.html
This videos will explain my take away and why I don't give you to much slow motion.
After watching your video I made this chart. Do you see any problem?
R-Hand AoA Mov2Gnd1st ClubF Club-Mov ClubD Ball-F Start-Sw Plane
Push Shallow C-Head Closes Away inside Draw Away Under
Pull Steep C-Grip Opens Forward outside Fade Toward Over
It took me a while to see what you did but it looks okey. 👍
it looks like i add 20 yards currenty with pushing down earlier!
Sounds great. 👍
Hi Marcus
Thank you again for all your videos. Just watch this one it looks like you have a lot of weight on your back foot. Is that true and does it help you to turn down?
Hi. I let my hands move down and until they start moving forward there are no reason for my body to move forward and therefore the weight shift is late.
Weight shift it not something we should practice, it will happen if we hit a good golf shot. 👍
Thanks Marcus, Great instruction! Does the right elbow (righty player) drop before pushing away? @ marcus
Hi Jerry. When you start down in your downswing it should move down, absolutely.
It’s clear.
Sounds good. 👍
I have nearly everything, this is my last chance saloon.
Hi. I can promise that it works but any metod or way to hit a golf ball will take time to learn. Keep fighting. 👍
When u mention in the beginning, “away down out up” are u thinking about the club head? Your hands? Left or the right arm?
Both hands and clubhead. They are both moving away in the beginning of the swing towards the ball. Speed comes from a trail hand moving faster than the lead hand. If you want a swing path in to out the rest is also correct.
Hello marcus. Thanks for bringing another great video on sequencing from the top starting down . My question is what are your thoughts in terms of shoulder/ spine tilt ? I noticed that when I began to point my lead shoulder more Down towards the ground, I seem to get a better result whether with irons or woods. In other words, should I lean towards more tilt than less with lead shoulder at the start of my backswing?
Hi. I think that it helps you swing more down and that is a good thing. I never think about that but when I tried it I feel more comfortable with a good tilt with my lead shoulder pointing more towards the ball. Keep it. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad thank you Marcus 🙏🏼
@@georgegonzalez2831 👍
Any advice? I am a left-handed player like you, but I'm naturally right-handed. Left side feels so passive in my swing. Is there a good way to train the left hand/arm to push at the top?
Hi Mark. I know a lot of golfers that needed to learn to use the stupid hand. You can start brushing your teeth with the "wrong" hand or just start doing casual normal things with that hand. The more you do the more you will be able to do. I started playing racket sports with my stupid hand to make it smarter and I also hit golf balls single handed with both hands. You probably have all the strength you need but you are not able to use it.
Thank you for sharing in such detail. Transition is such an important part of the swing, and I just wonder: I have tried to practice shifting pressure from my trail foot to my lead foot by pressing forward with my trail hip and pelvis to my left thigh before even reaching the top of the backswing, much the way Padraig Harrington explains it. With your method I suppose you have max pressure under your trail foot at the top, when you push (or throw?) the club away from you (to resist the force of the push), and the pressure will then shift by the momentum of what your arms and club are doing after that? Thanks again!
You are correct. I let my swing and the movement of my arms move pressure and weight. The shot we wanna hit will shift your weight. A forced weight shift will destroy the natural motion that we need.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you for your answer, most appreciated!
@@vegardkarlsen9609 👍
Hi Mark, I have question: when you hit the ball, mostly with the driver, is your trail hand still pushing or you let it free to pass through with momentum?
I push through the ball. Of course momentum will help but I want to keep going past the ball. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you very much for answering, I appreciate it very much. ✌️👋
Looks like a hockey swing to me.
Not many can see the resemblance but I use the same muscles I use to hit a slap shot. 👍
according to instruction it sounds like you will be casting the golf losing power, but a slow motion the swing he does, he doesn't push away from the target his elbow stays bent until impact ....
Casting in the wrong direction can be really bad but casting/throwing on the circle of speed gives you amazing golf shots. Have you tried?
It’s been so long I don’t know if you will even see this. But I would like some clarification. So, at the beginning of your downswing, you are pushing your left hand straight out in the opposite direction of the target not down, but straight out and that action I guess the momentum of the club is carrying the club down and around towards the ball?
That sounds correct. It's also greatly effected by the body turning back to the ball. It's a circle, at the top it needs to move in the opposite direction of what happens at the ball.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Thank you! So much! I’ll work on that.
@@jawjuh1005 👍
do you have any slow motion videos of your irons and driver?
No, Sir. In some videos I slow it down but not a video just for the purpose of slow motion.
hi marcus，my trail arm is really stuck on the side of my body, which makes me hit pull shots. Do you have videos about it? Thank you!
Hi Andreas. It can happen to me to if I get lazy in extending the arm going towards the ball. Try to get an earlier extension in your trail elbow and your arm will move. It's only when there is a lack of push that it can get stuck.
Is it correct that I would start the downswing with a wedge and a driver the same with only the release being earlier with the driver?
Yes, the release needs to be earlier with the driver, we need to reach the lowest point before impact. With a wedge, after impact.
Om man trycker händerna bakåt ivid start av nerswingen kommer väl armbågen att rätas ut väldigt tidigt förlorar man inte hastighet på det?
Du måste prova. Jag har försökt att göra det för tidigt i 23 år utan att lyckas. Det är också en snabbare uträtning som ger mig min hastighetsökning i speedträningen...
Do you square the club to the target?😳🏌️♂️⛳️
If I hit it good the face is half as open as the inside out path. If the path is 10 degrees in to out the face should be 5 degrees open to produce a draw to the target.
Marcus what is the difference between this move and casting? Or is it the same thing therefore casting is a good thing?
It is almost the same move but in a different direction. I think that bad casting includes early wrist action but pushing is more arm move.
Motty, I think my casting and horrible results occurred because I had little or no rotation. Marcus’s “casting” or pushing is combined with proper rotation resulting in higher club head speed plus better contact. Casting is agreeably wrong with no rotation, but is called “pushing” with synced rotation and with much better results. Thank you Marcus for this insight.
Would the push away from you not potentially cause someone to cast the club?
Only if it starts out instead of down. Casting is only bad in the wrong direction
SO it is OK to cast if you cast OUT and not DOwn? Or the other way around? PLease explain.This is important
@@williamreichert4798 It is ok to cast/throw the club if it starts down. Then we are throwing the club on the circle we want the club to move on. What we can't do is throw/cast over the top. This video will explain it more:
ua-cam.com/video/XkWE_x-J6W4/v-deo.html
HI Markus, todays gold swing mostly called in to in, how is that?
I don't know who told you that but I don't think that's a useful path.
Better places to play than Floridia pretty much from Virginia to Georgia is better. Less crowded, prettier, less Yankees and long nose folks.
Maybe I'll try something else next time. 👍
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad maybe do a show on where we from the USA can go in the winter and play and not be in a grossly touristy place. Spain, Portugal….Greece, Italy?
Its looks like casting which im told not to do
Casting is a throw in the wrong direction. Watch this:
ua-cam.com/video/8OfnbdKxWH0/v-deo.htmlsi=l0xF0SNcZ9L1v_OQ
Forward press..?
Still a push with the palm down.
@@GolfwithMarcusEdblad Ok thanks:)
So you’re casting 😂
Not really. Casting is when you mostly release your wrists at the top. This is more arm motion but very close. With a swing path from the inside it works great but with an outside path it will be a disaster...
Great
I'm glad you are getting your daily doze of tips. 😊
Goodness, now I know what it is that I have been doing wrong. Your insights are remarkable. Will now endeavor to “ push “ the club more than “ pull “. Thank you Marcus.
It works but a change can sometimes be difficult. 💪
