How we control the golf club in its entirety will strongly influence our swing direction, strike, repeatability, effort levels, distance, launch… You get the point! If our intention is to control the golf club from the club head (whilst excluding the handle) as you’ll find out in this video – this can have a huge effect on the entire golf swing.
John’s lesson video to come on Wednesday! Thanks John, for an amazing lesson.

Eddie Merrins concept swing the handle not the clubhead.
Manuel de La Torre had a practice club with 3 club heads on it. One at bottom of shaft ( as normal) one in the middle , one up near the grip. This was to encourage pupils to swing β the whole club.ποΈββοΈπ
Weirdly ive had success focussing on the lead centre of the shaft ie between the 2 balls!
This one hurt my head ! I started watching Zen videos cos I liked the thought of clearing the mind of positions and swing planes etc and just freeing the swing up but seems to be alot more of that creeping into it now.
I get it, it's not one size fits all and one person might need something explained to them differently than the next person to get them moving properly and fine tune things .
Just wondering how you introduce this drill into a golf swing without consciously thinking of where the handle, the shaft, and the clubhead are thru the swing ? Older videos made it seem like these positions just happened after you got people moving their bodies in the correct order. Or is this the kind of thing that would go on in all lessons but we've just not been seeing it as you're having to edit hours of coaching and condense into 30 minute videos ?
Not a criticism, just interested. I'll be giving the ideas in this video a try as it's something thats crept into my swing lately. I can actually feel the clubhead overtaking the hands and know it's a pull draw before I look up.
Maybe next weeks video of the lesson will explain more. π€·ππ»
The Main Swing Difference Between LOW and HIGH Handicap Golfers i see is that most golfers never get to their left side and only good ballstrikers ie very few! use their left side.Yes i know Zen bangs on about how to use the lower body/footwork/ground pressure which is great and gets you to your left side but good ballstrikers use their unnatural left side/left chest/left shoulder/left arm/left hand on the handle,they fling the frisbee!
Pull with left hand
Great explanation Marcus π Hope you've got over your Turkey-Tiredness! It's a fantastic place to be β³ For those new to ZGM who are just watching the videos; I truly hope they offer some improvement for you. But to gain the best possible outcome, go and have a session with any of them. I can guarantee you will not be disappointed with your results π

Never looked at it that way. Thank you for showing this technique Marcus.
Dang great visual, going to tape some t balls on my club right now..
Thanks ππππ
Brilliant teaching Marcus!!!! Easy to understand
Ive been watching numerous golf instruction on YT now roughly 16 months. Robinson, Finch, Meand My Golf, Lackey and Crossfield. Since 2020 restarting the game, at age 57, ive gone from shooting upper 80's or above, to a consistant 80-81, with about 7 rounds in the 70's. Some of the big changes ive made has been changing shafts for lower weight, bigger grips, and ACTUALLY TRYING TO APPLY SOME OF THESE VIDEO LESSONS.
Such a differnt world since I first fell in love with golf in 1987.
I must say, after watching your videos, my ball striking and body movement has improved more than i thought. Your course of instruction is difficult at best, most folks cant walk and chew gum at the same time, let alone, have the patience and dedication needed to get results, especially when it comes to constantly thinking too much INTO the swing. Its like writing music to me,….if your never satisfied or confident with an end result, you will constantly write and rewrite in a vicious circle, without ever reaching a conclusion. Visualize, set-up, swing. With CONFIDENCE.
As a former military instructor, I also appreciate your presentation of the lesson. Your oratory articulation, confidence-building motivation, and usage of unfamiliar training aids for more training options for different learning levels, is TOP NOTCH.
So, at age 59, in a span of about 3 months viewing some of your videos ive gone from a 15 to an 8 HCP.
Hoping to live a dream this year and play in the WORLD AMATUER TOURNAMENT. Just for fun really, but deep down, Id like to be competitive enough to possibly win in my division. Or at least place.
Thank you and keep the videos coming.
Swing a broom with a short handle ,it will tell you what your swing faults are almost instantly.
This is not bashing swing coaches or people trying to help golfers in general. It needs to be said, getting into proper positions in a golf swing can be important… that being said as a pro I can purposely play a full 18 making my swing ugly as possible playing purposeful slices and Dropkick draws and still comfortably shoot under par just with my hands and feel around the green. Scoring is so much more then clinical swings itβs touch, feel, imagination, and the ability to get the ball in the hole that really makes a good golfer. Never forget this.
