How to go from driver to irons on the golf course…
We can practice anything and we need to be good at adapting to different clubs when we play golf. I believe that we can get a lot of help from a purposeful practice swing.

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 playing either way.
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. To understand golf we need to take it step by step and learn every part of the swing before we move on to the next. It’s like a big jigsaw puzzle that we all can figure out.
Some pro’s that hit draw: Rory McIroy, Xander Schauffele, Patrick Reed, Sepp Straka and many, many more.
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. Understand what do do with the club and let your body find the best way possible.
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.

Thank you Marcus for your videos! What do you think about One Length irons/clubs? Have you tried them? Have a great day! /Lukas
Interesting point at the end there. Sometimes my friends ask me how I am feeling a certain shot, and when I talk through it while doing it, I always execute it better than usual. It is like it helps self-discipline and focus. Might try talking through all shots under my breath, and hope not to go mad! 😅
Thank you Marcus for answering my question!😊
When I am at TopGolf, most of my practice time is spent just trying to increase specific club distances. Understanding that TopGolf balls fly about 10% shorter than regular golf balls, I will keep hitting my 7 iron until I can get it over 110 yards (total), 8 iron 100 yards, and 9 iron 90 yards. Many days, I can't achieve these distances.
In trying to apply your principles to my game I came up with this. When hitting driver I get the club shaft in line with my right/trail arm, for irons it needs to be in line with my lead arm and for fairway metals and hybrids somewhere in the middle. What do you think Marcus? Love your videos thanks.
Do we need to think about hand path vs club head path and angle of forearms with club shaft all upon impact?
Today I am going out to play. Yesterday you brought out an example of the swing thought of making a backstroke motion on the downstroke which immediately made sense to me! I fight over the top all of the time. Watching you swing I see this exact movement. Thanks
I love how you tee up the ball with the club and your foot! The '7' is my favorite too
Who do you think? What are your thoughts about hitting the ball straight and not hitting a draw on the ball and not going inside out but using everything you do but hit the ball straight with the irons and driver
great question…. and this helped my game on the course alot. I used to be good with my driver or either irons…. but generally not both on the same day at the course. Now I alternate
between all my shots on the practice range and I no longer have that problem.
