Good weight shift is a result of a good golf swing but a good golf swing is not a result of a good weight shift.

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.

Just what the doctor ordered – had lots of trouble with the so-called "weight shift" recently. Thank you very much!
That’s a really key feeling! Easy if you focus on hands from trail hip to over lead shoulder. I think a lot of my errors in the past have been doing something wrong from the top so hands don’t get to the right trail hip position. Very effortless when done right, thanks for making this video.
proper weight shift comes naturally like you say. Glad you don't get all caught up in the foot plates. Simple is better….golf is difficult enough without worrying about 33.7% weight shift to the forward foot plate at mid swing….. !#$%# …no thanks. The best instructors teach like you do…. keeping movements very natural and simple. Loving your videos!!!.
Going naturally from low on your trail leg to high and over your lead shoulder is a great way to look at it.
One thing you do naturally also from what I see is you have a powerful finish all the way to the top, which is why you strike the ball so powerfully. Can you do a video on how you naturally generate power throughout your swing? You almost look like your body and arms are like a slingshot and the ball just compresses at the moment you strike it! You don’t seem to give this much thought just like you describe here in regards to weight shift.
Simple but Brilliant!
Yet another golden nugget!! Thank you Marcus
Hi Marcus, love the video. I’m new to your channel and trying to learn your method. Where’s the best place to start please? Thanks in advance.
Just had a great season had several 2nd and 3rd places and then won our club championship. Started getting cocky and moving my ball position forward and the game turned to shite. Moved the ball to my back foot tonight and absolutely ripped it, i can’t move onto my front leg as it’s knackered, you have to use what you’ve got everyone is different there is no one template
Weight shift is foundational. For years I struggled with good and consistent ball contact until I learned to properly shift my weight. I also discovered that in order to groove in the feeling of weight shift, a slower swing tempo is essential. Like me, too many want to kill the ball from the top of the swing rather than slowing down and allowing the rotation and shift to develop. Thank you for emphasizing this, Marcus.
Again, you say things that no one else does. I also think that it is good to imagine the golfswing from down to up.
Started to use your method recently and it seems to work incredibly well. Over drawing it a bit sometimes but I know that I’m on the right track. The weight shift was great to get explained. Seems very natural to load the trail side first, as you do throwing a ball. Thanks!
Hey marcus you are looking better, have you got your strength and speed back?
Great video, Marcus. ⛳️
One of the best you’ve done, thank you
