How to use a impact bag #2 - Swingpath…

We can learn a lot using the old impact bag. Today's topic is 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 the 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. Be careful when you watch a golf swing in slow motion. The result isn't always what the golfer is trying to do. Feel and real are seldom the same.

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.

Well Marcus I finally went and got on Trackman, I was blown away that even with a closed stance I was still cutting across the ball. I know you've explained the backswing as turn, then up, then down, and then turn but I didn't fully understand the importance of that until Trackman. if I drop the hands straight down while keeping the shoulder turned I hit from the inside path every time. I played the best golf of my life yesterday and even though I was spinning the ball 5000 rpm's with my driver I was carrying the ball 250 yards with a slight draw. Tks for all the help and keep the great videos coming.

Mr. Edblad At approximately the 2:20 mark of this incomparable video you say something that I suspect virtually all of your viewers would say is 100% incorrect. You say ….”that the day we learn the difference between hitting from the inside and the outside we will not need you for a teacher.” I am 77 years old and have been playing golf for 39 years. In those 39 years I never used an impact bag because I did not “see” any possible value. Today at home I did your face control and swing path drills on my new impact bag - and a 250 watt lightbulb suddenly went ON in my dim 77 year old brain. Perhaps 90% of your viewers did not “need” these two impact bag videos like I did. But in my opinion that 90% will always need and want you as a teacher. Like every other viewer I am totally grateful to see you returning back to normal health. May God Bless You.

Marcus, Thank you for the simple explanation and the Tips/tricks!

[DosLobos]

Working on swing path is really great advice. Wish I had started doing it earlier instead of stuffing around with ground forces and such malarkey. 😢

On the course my smash bag becomes my ball, on the Tee I position the logo on the side I want to strike and the fairway I focus on one dimple, takes all swing thoughts away at the same time. Just let it happen….
