I found this vid to be a very helpful. After watching, I went to the range and concentrated on simplifying my driver setup position, raising the tee height a bit and staying on plane during the swing and was immediately hitting higher, straighter drives. Looking forward to taking it to the course.
Great video! I generally do not like the videos that talk about what not to do. But you did a great job of pointing out the proper way to do things. Thanks
Chris, great tips. It would be great if you follow up on this lesson and in particular your last point re body angle at impact, to help us with a lesson regarding correct movement of club and body post impact. Should we be aiming to swing a little to the right of our target line post impact? Should you keep some degree of body tilt as you complete the swing or do you stand up straight on completion of the swing? How far to the left of the target line do you suggest we swing with our arms as we complete our body turn? These are the “thoughts” I am struggling with at the moment. A lesson on how to correctly complete the rotation with driver, would be very much appreciated. Keep up the great work, it is invaluable for us weekend golfers as we strive to improve our golf game.
ok, mind blown! I have always had my hands forward of the ball, and almost always sliced, so what have I done to fix that was to close the face!!!! Right, I need to go and try this.
Hey Chris...enjoyed the instruction, but have a question. When I focus on getting the lead hip in front of the shoulder prior to and through impact, keeping my head and the angle of my spine back, I often start hitting ground before ball with driver. What's causing this and how do I prevent this from happening? Thank you
I Chris the last drill I do but I stop there to long and then I stay on my right side to long then use my arms and pull the ball what can I do to get my weight on my lead side 👍thanks
@@ChrisRyanGolf I can't wait to try this. It sounds so logical. I think I started leaning the driver over as a carry over from tips for my irons. Been trying different grips to easier get a consistent hinge and backswing. Now working on having a neutral wrist hinge (not overly bowed or cupped wrist, but straight). I think neutral will be easier to replicate over and over. But when I hinge wrists neutrally it feels like I am opening the club face a lot because I start with arms hanging from shoulders, and left hand then naturally "pointing" at 2 oclock. Something about the starting position then, and hinging in that direction feels like opening up too much. Anyway, these common faults videos are great. So are your technique videos, very clear instruction, not too many details at once. And your swing in itself is very instructive. Something clicked for me with my irons when seeing your top of the backswing, club parallell to the ground, how the wrists are set, and trying to emulate that just made my swing so much more powerfull.
Very little if anything is applicable to every single golfer, plenty out there who drive the ball great with the hands forward and back, I try to offer tuition that helps the majority, but will always be some that buck the trend

The detaild description is exreamly easy to understand. I also like that this short video describes the swing from start to finish. Thank you.
Good stuff man, try to lead with my hips laterally to bring the club down to hit up. Brilliant!
I tried to consciously implement this lesson today. The result was outstanding. Every drive was really long and straight. Great video, 👍
Thx Chris

Awesome!! Love to hear stories like that, glad it helped
Best explanation yet!
Brilliant video thanks for sharing your knowledge 😊

Thanks Michael
Started setting up this way today. Had to change my alignment because I started hitting some really nice baby draws. Thank you!
BOOM! Love to hear that
100% informative, game changer for me, I usually come down too steep with a short back swing and manipulate club face on set up⛳
Hope it helps

this is something i am struggling with. thanks for the valuable lesson.
Thanks for watching hope it helps
Wish I were close enough to book in some lessons with you 😅

Cheers criss 👍
Great lesson!

9:43 was crucial

Nice
Never had a video within 30 seconds be like holy cow that’s what I do
Point 1 - I’ve never felt this called out before 🤣
😂😂😂😂
Wow! I do that, I lean the driver forward and adjust it to straight...
So many do, tough habit to get out of too but hopefully this will help

61 yr old hit the longest straight drives ever after these tips
Yes!! Love it 🙌🙌
So why is Rory closing the clubhead before hitting it ?
Very little if anything is applicable to every single golfer, plenty out there who drive the ball great with the hands forward and back, I try to offer tuition that helps the majority, but will always be some that buck the trend
👏
I think I’m doing the same with the hands being too high
Chris does this instruction apply for irons too?
