I have no idea what it is about your teaching style, but I feel as though all of your lessons are so much easier for me to understand and put in to practice than any other TH-camr. Thank you for everything!
Wow thanks Thomas, appreciate that, knowing something is one thing but communicating it is another, great to hear that you are finding the videos helpful 👍
This is the BEST video I've found on how to tune my swing. Love the basics and fundamentals. FINAL drill helped me the most! I've been working for a few weeks trying to fix my driver slice. Decided to go back to iron basics. Picked up my driver after weeks of leaving it alone and now I'm hitting draws. Thank you very much Chris!
Love the humility you bring to your teaching. I've been working on feeling my lead shoulder turn up, and back through impact. This move is helping me post up better, as it tends to create an extending affect on the entire left side of the body. My divots were also too deep, before working on this left shoulder move. It obviously has a shallowing affect through the ball. I also love the way you describe how the handle should work through impact. The flat left wrist is gonna feel very strange to most people, but it's a game changer. Great stuff, Chris!!!
Another great informative video. You always seem to be reading my mind. I can see where this will help me with my release . Been pulling my irons layely.
Thanks, this is a great refresher considering how long it's been since I've been out! I could feel everything you described, as negative actions, that I have been guilty of and took too long to straighten out. Each of the misconceptions was something I worked on the wrong way after someone told me how it's done. By the way - a majority of the corrections in my game are a result of watching your videos - thanks.
Good video, Chris. It's a good time of year to be thinking about these things seeing as we can't get out there, it's a good time to really pick apart these things.
That's a hockey swing feel for me . . Feels comfortable when I think of a hockey club just more of a downward attack Angle. Thanks for the great content
Thanks Chris. Some very useful information. My aim this year is to really get myself into a better position at impact and get more consistency with my ball striking. Always get something out of your videos. Thanks, as always, for taking the time to share this with us. 👍🏻
Really liked that,Chris! Lots of things to try out. Again i love the ‘concepts’ you discuss? I cant wait to go out to see how this will benefit my golf. Thanks for the concepts-and the clear way you explain-as usual!!
Interesting drills and explanations. I like that Chris tries to tell us why we are doing things. I really like the left arm folding drill and the idea that swinging a golf club is similar to throwing a frisbee left handed. So many instructors talk about throwing a baseball, which involves a similar weight shift and turning motion but a completely different arm and arm movement. Obviously swinging a golf club is not exactly the same as throwing a frisbee, but it is a more similar motion than that of throwing a baseball, and it employs the same arm. The hands apart drill reminds me of a hockey slap shot. Again, not exactly the same, but similar in many ways. I certainly don't want to be thinking about slowing down my body while trying to hit a golf ball, but it's something to be aware of and maybe to notice when practicing.
I had an ah ha moment after practicing one of yiur drills.. as a beginner I had no idea how the ironclubhead should meet the ball....I could not get the ball in the air....finally I did your drill at impact and started to see how the head should look on the ground....then suddenly I knew how it should look. I started to focus on the back of the head on a slant so you see the logo, instead of the ball and instead of the frknt of the club head. Suddenly I started hitting the swèet spot. THANK YOU
Isn’t it funny that most people can throw a ball or throw a frisbee (or whatever it might be) without thought. But hitting a ball with a stick is so well analysed! I guess accuracy on demand in golf is so revered its not a fair comparison! Good video as always mate 👍
This was great biomechanical information. I bet if we could analyze our divot, the depth and length would indicate if the wrist was released properly. You have explained the what should happen process clearly. I look forward to your next drill down on divot analysis. Great teaching!!
This actually wasn't quite new to me but I really just want to compliment You on such a well articulated video on such crucial and easily misunderstood topics. You certainly have helped me a lot in recent years thank You! Cheers
Hi Chris, How do I get my wrist in position at the top of the swing/downswing transition, so at last parallel/the delivery position, my knuckles are down (facing the ground)? Thanks! MB
I like these drills. I suffer from keeping the lead wrist arched right through the swing, and compensate with lots of body rotation. Result: no distance. So those exercises might help!
So damn imp and relevant for me; I keep turning and turning leading with the shoulder and pull the ball left _ more prominent with mid to long irons, but with the driver I can feel the wrist cusp, pelvis turn and then the shoulders. Wonder whether it’s coz I have more width, time and turn with the driver ?
Chris YOU ARE A LEGENDARY COACH.... seriously, if I lived in England I would see you minimum once a month..... I'm a +1 handicap BTW.... keep it up mate 👍👍
If you tale the correct grip your lead hand Is restricted to maintaining a straight ahead motion. In other words if can’t move left or right. It is locked into a straight ahead position. Don’t worry about a straight ahead swing. It happens naturally.
Your correct., Tom Wishom wants the break to come at the very last moment. For me the break comes very early.,,. That is what your video is about. It’s good but. doesn’t really give the average golfer much information. .
I hit my 7 iron @250 meters, 100% pure and dead straight. I have no problem with strike or distance with any of my irons. My problem is I don't hit any divots before or after the ball...hopefully I am "normal " ?? Regarding the Driver and the Hybrids my consistency is not good....topic for another day.
Hey Naas, I think you may well be the next long drive champion for 2021! 250metres with a 7 iron is incredible, longer than the current champions, I’d get signed up 👍
Hey Chris - question about the wrist position of “Arched to Flat to Cupped” transition (minute 9:00 in video). Does this movement mainly only apply to Irons or is this also the same for Driver/Woods?
I have no idea what it is about your teaching style, but I feel as though all of your lessons are so much easier for me to understand and put in to practice than any other TH-camr. Thank you for everything!
Wow thanks Thomas, appreciate that, knowing something is one thing but communicating it is another, great to hear that you are finding the videos helpful 👍
I agree 100% with this comment.

I've been looking for this information for years and he nails it. Best explainer of the golf swing I've ever run across.
First rate institutions. Your explanations regarding why certain movements cause the desired results are very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you for clarifying and making that part of the swing easier to understand.
Finally, after watching a dozen different videos on when and how to release the club, Chris explains it perfectly.
Excellent explanation, especially about sequencing at 2:40, thank you, Chris.
Another great informative video. You always seem to be reading my mind. I can see where this will help me with my release . Been pulling my irons layely.
One of your best videos Chris,and I watch them all...Very helpful...Keep em coming 👍
Great video Chris ..power leak is me to the tee!..only on the driver..fantastic on irons ..I am trying to order your power leak series..
Always great content and ideas.. Thanks CR. Just re-watched 3 days later .. 3 great points .. especially the handle movement point #3.

Excellent info Chris. Some of the little details we all need to know.
Thanks Steve
Great job Chris! Helped me have a breakthrough, I hope.
Excellent tips as always Chris. Many thanks!
Thanks for the clarity
Thanks 👍
Nice video... I will try this tomorrow

Thanks Errol, tough right now with snow and frosted ground, but that would be a great vidoe to film 👍
Chris nails the wrist part. He has seen the wrist graphs of the great ball strikers for sure.
Another great breakdown of a part of the swing I’m working on, just wish I could hit balls to see any progression. Hope you keeping well Chris 👍🏻
Chris, do you have video more on #1,. Where parts of the body decelerate while other parts accelerate?
This actually wasn't quite new to me but I really just want to compliment You on such a well articulated video on such crucial and easily misunderstood topics.
You certainly have helped me a lot in recent years thank You! Cheers
Thanks Martin appreciate that
좋은 영상 잘고보 갑니다.
Hi Chris, How do I get my wrist in position at the top of the swing/downswing transition, so at last parallel/the delivery position, my knuckles are down (facing the ground)? Thanks! MB
Hi Chris, love your videos. What video camera do you use to create your youtube content? Thank you!
Can you do a video on how much weight shaft and stiffness one should have in general?
The most important acceleration happens in that 6 inches thru impact. Everything else is trying to get your body maximizing that action consistently
Good tip with the staggered grip. Feel more weight shift that way. Just need the snow to disappear so I can practice it outside 😅❄
I feel you Tony, snow on the ground here too👍
I like these drills. I suffer from keeping the lead wrist arched right through the swing, and compensate with lots of body rotation. Result: no distance. So those exercises might help!
9:48 wrist

Chris YOU ARE A LEGENDARY COACH.... seriously, if I lived in England I would see you minimum once a month..... I'm a +1 handicap BTW.... keep it up mate 👍👍
Thanks David appreciate that, hope the videos are helping
👍
Is a skier being pulled by a boat off a ramp a good analogy? If not maybe a sugg for one of your videos?
Amazing information! Thank you so much! Side note has anyone ever said that when they watch your videos it's like being taught by John Krasinski?
Nice tip and analysis. That wrist movement has always been a mystery to me. I wish you had used a golf club rather than the alignment stick.
Its going to take a few driving range pratice to get it.
If you tale the correct grip your lead hand Is restricted to maintaining a straight ahead motion. In other words if can’t move left or right. It is locked into a straight ahead position. Don’t worry about a straight ahead swing. It happens naturally.
A correct grip still allows for movement in two direction from the wrists, these movements are needed for speed 👍
Your correct., Tom Wishom wants the break to come at the very last moment. For me the break comes very early.,,. That is what your video is about. It’s good but. doesn’t really give the average golfer much information. .
.....that was money......thanks Chris

I’d be happy if I hit my driver 250 metres. That is some serious distance with a 7i. 💪🏻
