How to Use Side Bend in Your Golf Swing to Crunch Iron Shots and Add Distance

- Improved strike and adding distance were what Matt was looking to get out of the session, by allowing room for his upper body to naturally dissociate. We then were able to tap into the ground reaction forces on the GRFi board.

“Blood, sweat but no tears…”
Its hard to really explain how much I enjoyed this, genuinely one of the best golf experiences I have ever had. For various reasons I’ve not played for over 18months but I can honestly say I’ve never struck the ball better in my life and it all feels so much more natural and free. It’s rare to meet someone with as much knowledge and enthusiasm as Marcus and it was a real pleasure to visit the team. The only downside is my wife has now caught me 3 times practising my side lean cat walk poses in the mirror…
Many thanks again to Marcus and Seb for the day. If you can get to Bawtry, you will leave a better player and thankfully my thumbs have now recovered from hitting so many balls!
Thanks for sharing. Awesome results 👏👌
another brilliant video, would love to head to see Marcus !
I felt like I was getting a lesson with this one. I was following a swing method that got me all backward as well.
Thank you Marcus! Your instruction here and other videos has put me on the path to better golf. I had forgotten the role of the feet in the takeaway and backswing and had lost my swing for years. You’re one of few golf instructors that emphasizes the role of the feet and lower body in the swing. From my experience thus far, it’s the foundational requirement to a good swing.
You're smashing it, really impressive!
Anyone stuck with the Modern Position Focused swing teaching models should get the Full Unedited video of this lesson. To quote Marcus, it is simply "Brilliant". Since I can't get to England for a full lesson, the uncut video for this session is the next best thing. I have built my Game Improvement plan on the approach Marcus used with Matt. The remarkable progress in just two weeks is unbelievable!!! Smooth Effortless Power has returned!!! Now about those three foot putts for the match. . .
Where do you watch the uncut full videos?
In the Description section of this video is a link to the uncut video. You’ll be sent to a Vimeo site where you can purchase this particular video for ~$21. It’s 2.5 hours that is well worth it.
Great to hear David! The improvement I’ve had after the lesson is extraordinary but alas I’m also still working on the 3 putt soliton…
Where do you you get uncut version?
I don’t know now. Two years ago, many of
the lessons were offered on Vimeo but now, as of August 2023, is no longer available for purchase.
Just love it... I wish we can see more of these content weekly than just one per week. Simply the best channel on UA-cam
I have been following you guys for a while now and my game as go from hitting 180 yards with my driver to 230 to 240 yards. but I felt something missing until I came across milo mills golf explaining the side bend and my god with the zen way and the missing side bend I can now play along with the longest hitters in my club and I’m 62 years old. I Live in Spain and I would love for you and your team to come here to do a school coaching week. Please 😊 thanks guys you are the best on UA-cam by far ❤
I'm addicted to these video's, they try to hide it but the smile that appears on their face after they hit it solid is so satisfying. You just know they can't wait to take it out on the course. #Makegolffunagain
Ha! Too right! I was trying not to swear in disbelief at some of the results I was getting! There was def some head shaking done!
Absolutely buzzing as usual. So satisfying seeing people find their swings. I will never get bored of seeing it.
Well done Marcus!
Another amazing transformation!!!
I have to get your board😎
Love watching someone really trying to tune in to your instructions, yet another great lesson. One day I hope to be zenned!! 🤞
Thanks! I always learn something from every lesson / video shared and watched. The correlation between side bend and balance and the ability to hold the finish was a new understanding gained.
I just received my Zen Board and just started using it. Can't wait to take it to the course. Also, this last video really helped me to leave the club behind me longer. Keep them coming.
Another great video, just seeing Matts rhythm and timing change from a great looking swing into a "Pro" looking swing, inspiring!
Fantastic content Marcus. Love your videos and tuition. The improvements to golfers of all standards is amazing! I can’t wait for my ZenGolf experience in July! Just hope I have some inner ability waiting to be tapped into 😂😬
This is absolutely outrageous. The strike is unbelievable!
Just re-watching this again (3rd time), using the board before going to the range tomorrow with my new driver. Really hoping for similar results - basically, as if this was MY lesson. What a fantastic gift from you guys, one day I'll try to get down for my own lesson, but until then I've already learned so much from you. Very much appreciated, thanks guys!
Great stuff! Always look forward to your video lessons.
What a brilliant instructor you are Marcus. I have said in a previous comment: you were my last hope. No more joining the dots, no more quick fixes,. You have saved my golf.
Thank You.
hes briliant
Brilliant work again Marcus!
It's like you were speaking to me(I'm sure many others) about pulling the club straight down and not getting that side bend.
Keep up the great work!!!
Fantastic. The later shots were so loose and effortless. He seemed so excited to jump in there and hit the ball.
This action alone has made so much difference since my lesson and rewatching vids such as this, might need to change my name to "gotmoreconsistancy"
I've said it before and will continue....the BEST golf insights/ tools, knowledge, etc. etc. etc. online ...anywhere. What I would do to visit in person for a session. maybe someday! keep it up...and thank you! from Utah.
That’s amazing how you’ve explained that - makes so much sense !!
So much excess body movement at the start and finishes well grounded and thru. Excellent Marcus.
Love the coaching! You sir are gifted!
One of the best transformations yet by Marcus. Dude was swinging like a pro by the end of that lesson. Pure Zen Golf magic.
He probably is a pro😂
That swing towards the end of the lesson was poetry in motion. Had a shite knock today! Everything felt out of sequence after weeks of really solid ball striking. I knew it was wrong during the round but even more so no having just popped a couple of Ibuprofen for my sore back and shoulders. Couple of days off I think and then back to my GRF board to get back in sync.
Great video again Marcus 👍🏻👌🏻
OMG!!! This is the greatest piece of instruction I've ever received! 40 years of playing golf...No one ever told me about this side bend! I just tried this at lunch break and have totally fixed my game! THANK YOU!
the sidebend bit was fabulous information - very useful!
Another cracking video Marcus. Many thanks.
Great vid Lads 👍 Laughing at how much Marcus loved the bowling comparison 😂😂
Wow this is so relatable!! After several months of watching Marcus and trying to get out of my own head (meaning stop thinking my way thru the swing) I actually started FEELING what the proper motion is. My last range session I finally started hitting the 7 AND 5 well. Usually if I feel good with one club it doesn't translate. So I decided to start hitting others... 4i, PW, D, 3W off the deck, 3Hybrid off the deck. And wow... I literally have NEVER hit an entire bucket of balls that solid in my life!!! It was so invigorating! Still a ways to go but hope is alive. Thanks Marcus.
Brilliant!! Your vids are the highlight of my day when I see that notification! 😁👍🏼
Beautiful natural tempo, what a fortunate guy
Answered Thanks, that was some workout, student looked athletically powerful.
What a brilliant video, more gain less pain, he must have been absolutely delighted.
As I read through the comments, after watching yet another transformation courtesy of Marcus Bell, we all seem to appreciate how special his skills are as a coach. He possesses a scientific understanding of human anatomy and movement, which he harnesses with the physics of the tool. We get to watch each transformative journey, and appreciate what a rare experience is unfolding over and over again, student by student. Being 3500 miles away is frustrating, but having access to these videos via this portal is gratifying in and of its self.
Now to translate better.
Thank you Marcus.
I feel your pain, Charles. Wish he would make a tour of the US
Awesome video Marcus See you tomorrow, I will be a happy bunny hitting the driver like this..👍
What a great elegant swing
Just shows what real good coaching can do for someone eager to listen & learn. Looked effortless at the end there. Well done to all!
Great stuff, gents!
This channel deserves so many more subscribers!
Thank you 👍
Great information and often a missing piece.. thanks so much for unlocking another needed but natural move in the “mystery of golf swings”. Which P is side bend?
It's all about matching the side bend with the intnesity of the foot work ... that's what i need to work on
Hi mate, Mark from Australia your a really great teacher in the natural bodies movement system. With the minds intention of the golf swing. I would love to but the GRF system, but can't afford it.
The reason I am writing again is you must be losing a lot of overseas viewers sadly like myself. As I can not hear very well, at least 40% of your U-tube videos, regards Mark.
I love this golf channel, its revolutionary, it has completely changed my swing, I can now rely on my swing.
I hope you could improve the sound of the videos, its hard to hear you.
I have been watching your videos for months. In lockdown no golf. Daises and dandelions have been drawn and faded around the back garden. Back at golf this week . Have never enjoyed it so much . Thank you Marcus you are truly gifted. Received my Zen Board this week and am so excited to start working with it. Love to have a one to one when travel from my country allows. Marcus for President . Truly amazing golf coach.
great video boys reminded it of mine he was smashing it and the club spins were top draw
Yet more voodoo golf lesson’s .
Marcus I just don’t get tired of watching you work mate just superb
Keep them coming
I love how you got his hand release. I feel that I have a good set up and take back but then I lose al athleticism and chicken wing and dont release properly
Finally set up a camera to capture my swing face on, shock horror, my lead hip was moving towards the target, so I had too much C shape at impact. So, went back to basics of ROTATING and keeping my spine "centred".....Wow, sweeter more accurate contact, higher and longer flight...What joy! 😉
So seeing the progress in the videos ( albeit from a very responsive pupil ) is why I purchased the grf. After a week a think I fully understand the concepts and the goals of the instruction and drills. I am still struggling to experience the breakthrough of freedom of thought and just execution. I am jealous of the extra guidance that these lesson provides as Marcus steers the diet of activities to enhance the individual progress. Hopefully with patience I get there but boy its frustrating waiting!!
did you improve ?
@@jmack619 no afraid not.
@@frenchnz it the same swing as baseball, lowered to the ground. Try à home run swing. Is à hook , slice, all over the place ?
This is a great video Marcus, one of the most effortless swings I’ve seen in a while. Can I just ask, I always thought the arc changes depending on the shot shape you intend?
Sometimes both Michael, there's plenty of variability to use swing arc too, providing it's sequenced but we don't necessarily want independent and arm action that affects the sequencing from the body 👍
Most depressing words on UA-cam-“Happy with that?”- it means the end of another genius video. 🙁
Great video, I strongly recommend anyone to fork out the £15 and watch the full uncut version where Marcus explains the sequencing action in a gradual step by step process. Poor old Matt must have been knackered by the end, I could see him speeding up through the process. It will be interesting to see how he gets on when the dust has settled and whether he can maintain these feels and actions. Matt has a great video to refer to (I’m sure his wife will ensure he is hitting his marks) but the danger for us (as Marcus points out) is what we think we are doing and actually doing are quite often different. That being said I feel optimistic about the future having worked on some of these tips for a while now.
Keep up the good work Marcus, you are definitely improving on the production front
PS. Do you have a new pair of shoes for each video 😂
Great comment adrian, I can certainly confirm I was pretty tired on the way home! I’ve managed to get out three time since the video and i can honestly say I’m hitting shots I’ve never hit before. It feels so much more repeatable and I’ve got so much more confidence. The last video Marcus posted about on course management was great as well as obviously the issue with the range is a perfectly flat lie everytime. Looking forward to getting a round in when it’s not blowing a Gale now!!
@@craftmatthew Thanks for the positive feedback Matt! Is it progressing according to plan?
I played in a pro am with a friend of mine who was a 6 handicap many years ago . The pro was a successful Tour player. during the round he was saying to us to sit down on the right side when swinging through. This lesson seems to me to resonate with what he meant. My friend picked up on it and added i kid you not an effortless 20 to 25 yds on an already good drive.
I am a golfer who's been playing about a year and a bit yet to break 100 104 is my best so far. I have started lesson from a pro which has definitely helped my game would a session from zen be useful to a golfer like my self who is playing off 28 relatively new and not exactly an athletic specimen ?
Making the most of my time whilst on a night shift at 0445! Get my Zen on 😂🤣🤣
Brilliant methods thanks.... PLEASE try to improve sound quality.. (too quiet!!)
Poetry! Where may we order your Zen Golf improvement kit? In the USA.. THANKS!
Love the uncut version. money!!! Marcus my disc broke, and magnet came off as well. How Can I get replacement Discs and order another board?
Please email the team at zengrfinfinity@gmail.com and they'll sort it 👍
@@GRFGolf , thanks. appreciate all the passion and content!
I would REALLY LOVE to go to ZEN, even one of those inclusive trips like this month, but I dont fly anymore. I wont do it unless they change the seat cushion into a parachute instead of floatation device. I mean come on, really,... a floatation device??
Marcus, this is just super stuff!! Pse pse invest in a good audio set up, and, perhaps add subtitles
Light Grey Top suits you so much more than the black.
The board helps with timing and balance. But the key is using your HEELS. For years I played on my TOES/Standing up. Now I rest on my heels now in chipping and putting as well. Just think about your heels and forget everything else. It works. I was hitting high draws today with my long irons.
Placed order for your GRfi, but my credit card denied payment as “unsafe” or for some unknown reason. I’m in USA so I think it could not pay Euro. Please advise. Thank you.
Not quite clear what you mean Marcus, but D.J. Trahan is the son, and Don is his father the coach...but no matter
WOW 🤩🤩🤩
Do i feel pull or push?
I’ve been having so much trouble with low point using my arms until I put in side bend If someone is having problems you for sure have the answer just have to search
I am from Canada, How can I buy that twist rocking board that he used for training. Thanks.
The link is in the video description 👍
Marcus do you every come to Ireland for clinics I’d love to do a lesson with you
Nothing planned yet but hopefully in the future. We coach full time at Bawtry GC near Doncaster
@@GRFGolf how do you buy the board and video course. Is it possible to fix your flaws on your own with it thanks
@@chrismadden6047 Please follow this link zengolfmechanics.youbookappointments.co.uk/zen-grf/
You get a 2 hr download with all the basic exercises too so you can self profile as you see in the videos and develop your movement 👍
Does the board work for both left and right handed golfers? Does it ship to Canada?
Yes and yes 👍
Does this apply to Driver as well Marcus.
Yes Mick, he uses Driver at the end of the session 👍
Please, show a few ball flights, that we can also admire the fine results you make
in your coaching.
Is that Robin back on the camera?
I am really improving from your videos. But I keep pulling the ball. Like 5 degrees to the left🤷♂️ any tips?
Check clubface
@@GRFGolf yes sometimes i get a nice draw. Does a gripchange work. Or should i alter the plane of the club. I see Marcus i fully booked till next year ? is that correct?
Advanced but a must in the golf swing A1 👍
Hogan's 3 right hands 👍
Could not find the link to your Zen gr infinity system (sp?) etc. How can I order your training aids? Thank you.
Link in the bio :)
Sorry, don’t know (can’t locate) link in bio…….
@@HHHWLH zengolfmechanics.youbookappointments.co.uk/zen-grf/
@@GRFGolf Placed order for the GRF, but for whatever reason my Master Card denied the payment as unsafe or insecure. Please advise.
Update: just authorized payment via my credit card. Can you please tell me when I can expect delivery/receipt of the GRfi? Thank you.
Any ZEN coaches in the US?
Sorry only me and my team here in the UK at Bawtry GC
Looks like he just got slapped on the side of his face, he seems so overwhelmed with joy that his face says it all ! might have to change your name to ZEN "God" Mechanic, good stuff.
What about single length irons?
Swing is same for each club but interesting how many top players use single length clubs? We are more than capable of adapting to each length of club.
Any putting videos?
The live video with Alex Belt at American Golf at Trafford has a lot of putting. Plus the green reading video on the beach at Vilamoura 👍
Sort that back swing out !
Why would you do that?
Who hit the dislike button? Probably some of your want to be peers!
Bet his playing partners wasnt to happy with that change #nightandday
He never quite got it he stood with the same swing he never weighed transferred all those lessons for nothing no change
Can’t help but feel every video is a promotion for those training aids as no matter what their faults you always get them to use the same thing
Not a promotion, these are private lessons where the pupil kindly allows us to use their lesson footage for UA-cam. We use the training aid in virtually every video because ground reaction forces are at the heart of the applications. You can go as far back as you like through the channel and also Robin's channel and see I've used these devices from the beginning so it's not an overnight thing. I've developed and adapted it with research as the coaching has evolved. That's why it's not a promotion but an integral part of what I do. I am very passionate that what I do can help golfers and if that appears as promotion then that's your interpretation but for me I'm just trying to help golfers enjoy their game more and this system helps me do that. There are of course many other applications I use, that you'll see if you watch the whole channel. It's not just the training aid, it's the coaching and philosophy that's the real potency.
