Finally, a nice compound swing feel that gets the hips working in the backswing and downswing! For the backswing, all that I have to think of, is pulling my right side belt loop back and up and finishing with my belt or tum touching an imaginary wall just inside the right foot. For the through swing my left belt loop pulls back and up to trigger a tum to the wall finish. Thanks very much Chris!
Every once and while you come up with a real classic video that stands the test of time and is so critical for better ball striking. This is one of them and to be treasured for its value. Brilliant.
Thank you once again for clear, uncluttered instruction. At times, I struggle with early extension and a bit of a tomahawk swing and this may be a "feel" that will help.
Hello Chris, I want to share a update about my swing that has given me that "AH-HA" moment. I have taken all your advice on setup , forward and down, but I found what for me was that change for the good , it was to lower my hands to a hanging natural position , vs straight out, I only topped the ball once on my round today.... I shot a 84
This is a game changer for me. I always struggled with fat and thin iron contact no matter what I tried. This wall drill has now shown me what I'm doing wrong and why none of the things I'd tried before had worked (which was because each was, in itself, only a partial solution). Coupled with your advice on what I should be doing this has improved my contact hugely. Please please do one for driver and fairway woods as well! Thank you!
Chris, you do a nice job applying new and fresh ideas to old problems! Question: I seem to be able to shift towards the target or extend up with my legs, but not both in the same downswing. Any suggestions on creating more time to accomplish both?
May just be a tempo or timing issue, you maybe just down have the time to make both moves. I’d first be keen to measure your tempo and timings to see where they are
For my backswing, should i load and set the clubhead where it is behind the ball pointing towards the sky and butt end pointing at the ball like a strait line or should i fully load where the clubhead is past my head and past the ball, clubhead pointing more towards the target?
Different for driver? What happens if you have too much lateral movement towards the target with a driver, guessing would cause the low point to shift past the ball, and cause you to hit down on it?
Agreed, not easy to swing athletically with freedom with comped swing thoughts. I’d always encourage swing work on the range where you can reduce the speed, pause mid swing, use a shorter iron etc to allow yourself time to integrate new moves, but over time with reps and good feedback those thoughts can turn to feelings, concepts snd ideas. Long term you should then be able to play with very little conscious thought about the swing, but it’s a process and can often take time
I hope you’re right. I’ve shot par several times in my life but I’m working on a change in my wrist action and right now I have no idea how to swing a golf club. I’m using this winter to break it all down and start from scratch but it’s very difficult to unlearn bad habits.
Clear and well done - and yes I'd love to see the same lesson, but with the driver :)
Im on it, will get that filmed
@@ChrisRyanGolffilm it immediately 😂 love your content mate 👏
Yes please!!!!! Asap 😂
Thanks! Please make more videos on this topic! That's exactly what I'm struggling with the most.
Glad you enjoyed the vid, certainly can look to create some more content like this

Perfect summary Dave, that’s key, take the info and then process it in your own way so that it makes sense, hope it helps

chris, i use the stick in the belt loops often and this kind of refines the action, i'm always working on my pivot action. thnx for the help.
Brilliant, well done Chris and thank you 🙏
Thanks
Very detailed instructions Chris i like that
Sweet firing on all cylinders. I love your channel you point things out that others fail to see.

Great clear video tips
I think if all golfer s cud strike the ball the scores would come down alot 😊well done Chris 👏
Agreed, the one skill everyone should be keen to develop

Yes, driver video would be great!
Great video. Yes, please can you do a similar one showing how that works differently (?) with a driver??
Thanks and will do 🙏🏻
Different for driver? What happens if you have too much lateral movement towards the target with a driver, guessing would cause the low point to shift past the ball, and cause you to hit down on it?
Exactly, the driver move would be a little different for those reasons
Useful tips
Thanks
Is it okay for your left heel to lift slightly in your backswing?
Absolutely, no problem at all and can really help
😢I'm struggling to get any distance... if I launch my ball high it just plummets down and. not far ..how can I fix this???
Driver and wedges (if they are different)
Ok perfect, will do
Great lesson. I’m the RARE one.
Mission impossible. Unless you start learning golf at 7 years old..)
How could anyone possibly make an athletic swing with all of these mechanical thoughts in their mind?
