Great to see a lesson with an experienced golfer. Amazing how quickly he picks up the theory and instantly applies it to his swing. This is probably the least I've heard Marcus speak :)
This single 16 minute video might be packed with more good information on the golf swing than any video I’ve seen on the topic. I’ve watched it slowly five times today. Amazing.
I love seeing this lesson with an experienced player, because you are still able to open his mind to new concepts, despite his existing depth of knowledge. I am constantly singing your praises and sharing your videos, here in the United States, because I not only love to learn about the golf swing, but I am also fascinated with the art of golf instruction. I think the core concepts you teach are the next era in golf instruction, because in my opinion, classical and traditional golf instruction has failed to evolve with science and technology. In other words, the knowledge that we have gained (through launch monitors, pressure plates, etc.) tends to disprove many of the core axioms in traditional golf instruction. Your focus on ground forces as opposed to positional golf, puts you in a class of your own. This lesson proves it. You took a skilled player and introduced him to how we can harness natural forces to make the golf swing more efficient, and it was all news to him. Brilliant!
Again, even with a decent player Marcus has him hitting even better! You could hear the difference in his ball striking! Amazing job again! Marcus the golf swing Jedi!!!!!!
@@GRFGolf love you’re videos ! I’m coming back to the game after a 25 year lay off ! I used to play to a 3 handicap but wasn’t ever a long hitter. On my return I’m hitting all my irons really high and not very far ! Could you recommend a video to watch for me to work on. I suspect I’m not using my feet, legs and hips correctly and also maybe releasing way too soon. Thanks for any advice Scott
Marcus, there’s so much that I love about your videos, and I get everything about the better quality of strike - but does the lower trajectory, while adding length, will also make it harder to stop the ball on approach shots to the green? Many thanks
In several of your videos where you take the student to the grass, and you have them do the toe divot, they suddenly have this "ah Ha!" moment. It apparently comes from the rotation of the club with the wrists and they suddenly start hitting the ball much better. Please, spend more time on this issue in your videos. Does this come naturally by using the proper sequence, or does one need to drill this rotation of the wrists and if so, please show that drill!
This is great Marcus,and thank you for these posts. I tend to have the issue of hitting the ball too low, however. Solid, but too low. I feel like I must have too much forward movement and shaft lean. My “corrections” seem to have me hanging back and hitting fat or on-the-upswing thin shot; either feeling much weaker. Suggestions, please. Thanks
Try playing a few half shots with all your weight on your lead leg 👍 give your body the experience of how much weight your body may (or may not) want to shift
Frank looked like a decent player and hit a good ball before Marcus performed his magic on him. Frank is now going to be striping it. These videos are so inspiring. Keep up the good work.
#ZenGolf - I love your method but I am also impressed by the results of Stack & Stilt and therefore not sure which route to take. So, what is your view of starting with 99% of weight on lead foot?
There's nothing ever really wrong with anyone's swing at all, it's all a subjective matter. But you can always improve no matter the standard you're at 👍
I don’t know why but I can do everything you say at the practice range and when I go play I revert to my old swing cause I’m nervous like a school boy on the first day.
Is a good idea to get on the course on your own, no scorecard in hand (with a couple of balls if possible) and get used to seeing the same shots you're playing on the range on the golf course without any pressure to begin with. Can often just be the environmental cues being so different from range to course and not necessarily always nerves 👍
the thing is! Is how do you hold on to it and not revert back to the old way of doing it...its all most like at times I can't feel my legs or my hands can't rotate then the next day I shoot my best score...weird game this is!!
Wish my swing look like that, mine looks like shit but I shoot great scores. Beat my boy last night , one over to his 3 over 62 v 22 and his driver is 70 yds past mine .

Grrreat lesson! This is literally my biggest issue. Thanks Marcus😎

13.40 best use of alignment stick ever. On a side note nice to see you have electric now in the studio. Will we see the green stage in use soon?
Agreed 😂 and yes the green stage will be in operation soon
Another great session, I never tire of these &a increase my understanding of the concept exch time. Thanks rod
Thanks Rod!
what a brilliant topic and bravo to this fella for allowing Marcus to record & post it 👍🏼
Appreciate it and yes, huge thanks to Frank!
This guy changed my game in a few weeks...just from watching his videos... shot a 75 yesterday 🎉😢😅
That's awesome, so pleased it's helping you 👍
You have balls of steel Marcus your one shank away from a very bad headache
I've full trust in my pupils 😂👍
@@GRFGolf So did Obi-wan Kenobi...You always get that one Jedi who Joins the dark side...Becareful it would be a sad day to see you take a Rogue ball.
this is getting the juices flowing for the 3 day Belfry experience!! Great stuff!!
Looking forward to it!!
brilliant!!! Marcus
Thank you!
Wow just wow- I’ve got a lot of swings none of them mine- now I know why👍
Similar to a lot of us, Jack
Great effort, student and team.
Thank you, sir!

I wish you can come to Australia to do some schools and teaching!!!
He's a quick learner!
We all are
We used to be able to purchase the complete video session. Is that still possible? I can relate with this session.
Sorry we stopped the Vimeo's a long time ago
This is some great reprograming of his golf brain. But how can he possibly hit a driver with that type of down movement? Any video of him with driver?
We've got a driver video of Frank's also to come. But there is an answer to your question at 6:37 👍
Great content as always
Appreciate it, Tim

Thank you so much for the response. I will absolutely work on this.

Thanks Robin!
A quantum forces in golf ? Thx a lot Marcus !
2:52 to loose? Be prepared for a revelation from the golf god.
Preach my brother
#ZenGolf - I love your method but I am also impressed by the results of Stack & Stilt and therefore not sure which route to take.
So, what is your view of starting with 99% of weight on lead foot?
Thanks, no real opinion. Just enjoy exploring.
srs question. What was wrong with his swing before hand? Those flights looked great!

@@GRFGolf will do
Lag = club face stability. Brilliant.
the thing is! Is how do you hold on to it and not revert back to the old way of doing it...its all most like at times I can't feel my legs or my hands can't rotate then the next day I shoot my best score...weird game this is!!
Bizarre game indeed 😂
If this guy needs lessons Ive got no hope
He's a playa! What's his handicap? Wouldn't want to meet him in a knockout match 😄
I think we'd be in the bar very early!
More videos on the rationale of doing the toe divot.
Plenty more to come
Wish my swing look like that, mine looks like shit but I shoot great scores. Beat my boy last night , one over to his 3 over 62 v 22 and his driver is 70 yds past mine .
That's awesome, well done!
Pure
Absolutely
Do you work with new golfers
Absolutely
Says link to training aids in comments…..where?
zengolfmechanics.youbookappointments.co.uk/zen-grf/ 👍
OMG 😍
That dude has a pretty swing
Absolutely
Hi Marcus please dont tell me that this Guy is a 24 handicap.☘
No Bob 😂 cat 1
No way would I have thought that swing needed any surgery, just goes to show you.
Form does not create force.
Force creates form.
👍👍👍
