What If Your Hands Are The Missing Piece

We sit down with Swedish PGA pro and former long drive record holder Marcus Edblad to dig into why so many golfers chase the wrong kind of speed. Marcus makes a case for clubface awareness, trail-hand acceleration, and a release pattern that helps average players lose the slice and gain real distance. 

• Marcus’s path from hockey and boxing into golf at age 30 
• Hand-eye coordination as the foundation for speed and strike 
• Why “no days off” matters more as we age 
• Rebuilding swing speed after dropping into the 115 to 120 range 
• How online criticism shaped his coaching journey and PGA qualification 
• Why hands and arms often fix what body-focused cues cannot 
• Trail arm extension and the trail hand passing the lead hand 
• Lead wrist extension versus the old fear of “scooping” 
• Using the body as a stabilizer instead of the prime mover 
• Clubface control first, then aiming and shot shaping 
• The speed “differential” between lead-hand braking and trail-hand acceleration 
•  You can find Marcus for online lessons and videos on Skillest and by his name on YouTube and Instagram.
