Your progress is my motivation. Easy to understand golf instruction that will give you longer and straighter golf shots. I will make you better and more skilled. Understanding is the key.
Had very good success today using this technique. I watched a video you mentioned your shaft was softer. Can you cover the shaft it’s self And possibly how do you work on the pivot. I recently injured my SI joint so my trail hip was very tight not so mobile., So I practiced driver today with minimal to no pivot just the early release, and I was shocked how far I hit for me., Thanks so much and great to see you healthy.
For some reason, I have only just recieved this video, so I'm late in passing on my congratulations re your great news. Although very shocked when I heard of your diagnosis initially, I had no doubt that you would beat this thing.. You are such an inspiration to all who know and follow you, there could be no other outcome. Enjoy the journey back to full health, and make the best of the time you have been given. You deserve every second of it. Looking forward to your future videos and content. Best wishes as always, Christophe
Marcus, do you recommend mastering 1 club around the green as opposed to choosing a club for specific shot? Like say for a stubby shot on a shortsided pin stubbing it with a 60, where you may use a 7 iron with a lot of roll out from the other side of the same green? Is it better to fly the ball or roll it?
Good question. If your impact is accurate you can use any club or many clubs. I use lob wedge because that is the club I feel most comfortable with. If your impact is a little off it could be positive to use maybe a 7-iron that will make it a little easier. But a 7-iron will not be possible to play around with like you can do with a wedge.
I was telling my young of age playing partner yesterday and a beginner of the game the same words like your telling us It’s always the long ball they want to hit and see … then I see balls flying across the greens with no control All we can do is try to get them to feel the marriage of a player to the game when they feel the short game Great subject matter
Tiger Woods stated that he spends 66% of his practice time on the short game. That should tell you all you need to know about the importance of Spanish hands.
I second that. The short game is overlooked and it can teach you basic club face, low point and strike control. I actually started like that. But that is only part of the story. As you said, golf "starts" with the short game. But it does not "end" there. I am pretty good with chipping and the short game, but I struggle with the big shots. I think a lot of golf swing issues comes from trying to add power. "How can we make good contact with the ball" is a different from "how can we hit it reasonably far". Imho that is the only caveat with "starting from chipping": One can become a good chipper, but the mechanics do not necessarily translate into the full swing. You can get around with a pretty stiff, putting stroke-like swing around the green, but that has its limitations with the full swing. Anyway, a good place to start and another great video! Out of interest: seems like you never done a video on putting. May I ask why?
My grandson recently started playing, it's exactly what I've started him with and also played our par 3 course with him, longest hole 130 shortest 85, great for a razor sharp short game if I was to start all over again the route I'd have taken, instead of bashing balls in the driving range.
There can be a lot of reasons for that but my guess is you are trying to use it more as a driver. Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-T6QxzFhnsLo.htmlsi=YNCTe2vA75Sp5nx1
Olazabal, Garcia and Rahm all have excellent short games. There are a few videos on RU-vid showing Rahm playing a greenside bunker shot with a 4-iron. Regardless Marcus, it’s so nice to have you back. Congrats on beating the cancer. You are a gem and we missed you.
If you move your ground contact you will also move your weight if that is the problem. Watch this: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6nTk2W-AbIw.htmlsi=M76vX1Ilhj9J4n-J
