We need to drop as we shift our weight back towards the target and actually lower our low point of the golf swing below the ground so we can then use our vertical force (the up part) to shift the low point back up and strike the ball, (followed by turf with the irons, hopefully no turf with the driver!)
This makes full use of our momentum and those all important ground reaction forces for an efficient, powerful golf swing. We once had a lesson describe it as a “wrecking ball” motion which couldn’t be a more accurate description of the drills incorporated! Huge thanks (again) to Daniel for letting us share his ZEN Golf Mechanics experience with you guys.

Amazing how different the sound of the ball strike and flight when it's struck properly
Marcus I have had my GRF SYSTEM for about 6 mos n ball striking has really improved. What I can’t get is a draw off the tee especially with the driver. I mostly push it right or sometimes pull across. Any suggestions?
Solid! This is the game changer for low point and consistent ball contact and flight direction. I have been following this low lead shoulder before but this explains it so much clearer to me!
I can’t believe no one shanked it on the wooden post yet. This is scary 😀
Simply brilliant!
If only we could remember all of this in the short time it takes for that club to go back and come come down again. So much going on in the swing. Lol. Great video Marcus
great marcus… drop pop on the backswing… spot on
Nicely done. At 75 this does work well for me…new subscriber
Another wonderful lesson, Marcus. What has helped me tremendously is the feeling that I’m shifting my weight toward the target more than I need. On camera I’m not, but I sure feel like I am, and when I do I strike the ball extremely well, and if I don’t have that feeling, my strikes are a little behind the ball. Also, I had to develop a “trigger move” at setup to start my swing and I only think of swinging the club. I never think of hitting the ball. Each time I think of “hitting the ball” my contact suffers. Keep up the excellent work. Cheers.
Realising this is a work in progress for the student probably on a medium high h/cap but would have liked more attention paid to his obvious height changes. Going back he stands up quite a lot and then bobs down to then stand up again. Would like to see him come down during backswing – start to redistribute centre of momentum forwards – then push up during downswing. By pushing down from the top you run out of time to push up before impact. In other words, if you've come down during backswing then you can more easily and less rushed, push up on d/swing.
