I've watched literally hundreds of videos by the top instructors on TH-cam, and this is by far the best tip I've seen so far. Thanks a bunch from a chronic "spinner" ;)
I've had that problem like forever. Her description of what's actually happening in over rotation made sooooo much sense. It was like the light finally switched on! Thanks for the video!!
This lesson certainly applies to me . Been having lessons to correct it . Love the way you put these short sharp lessons across. Big fan here in the UK.
One of the best things about this video is the instructor actually does exactly what she is trying to get you to do. Most teach one thing and demonstrate another. Great job.
I just got back from a rough session with the driver at the range and this video was on the opening page when I came to TH-cam. This addresses exactly what I was doing and that I couldn't figure out. I'm eager to get back tomorrow to work on it. An instructor from years ago would say to hit into a firm left side, almost feeling as if the back were to the target. One of the many things that get forgotten. This lit the lightbulb today. Thanks!
I have suffered from this for 30 years. A swing practice I use to start the downswing is from the top, pull down your arms only, keeping the rest of your body quite. Feel like your pulling down on a rope to ring a bell while the rest of your body stays still. Keep your hands quite while you do this, only move the arms down into the ground. It has really helped my swing and stops me over rotating.
All the faults you mentioned in this video basically describe my swing. I will try to do what you suggest but I have a feeling you make it look a lot easier than it will prove to be for me. I've been grooving the wrong swing for over 30 years. I want to try to break 100 once again. Used to do it when younger. Fantastic background to your video by the way!! Cheers from Aus.
I try and and stop my shoulders on the downswing and swing the club though,, the same as what you're teaching, if I forget it's out to in putting slice on the ball , your teaching is really good, to many coaches teaching the wrong ideas in golf
This is exactly what I am doing, thank you. If you have any drills that would help with this please let us know, overcoming 35+ years of bad practice isn't easy
Thanks Christina this video really helped me! And it added significant distance. It didn't feel like it would when you try it and then you look up and you see how much further the ball goes and how much more solidly you hit it. Pretty amazing.
Hi Christina. Wow over 100 thousand views on this video alone. Congratulations on your repeated success on You Tube. This video nicely stated and showing us not to over rotate our upper body starting our down swing first with our trail arm and shoulder..Early extension and OTT here we come; for certain. As you said in your most recent video we need to get out of the gate with our obliques crunching and turning first. Our shoulders arms hands and club will then be allowed to lag behind through post impact to our ball; and as you know we will feel this happening from the very start of our downswing. Cheers
This is still a struggle for me, but this is the best tip Ive worked on in terms of trying to promote a more in to out swing. Everything Ive tried is too complicated and this keeps it really simple for me to remeber on the course. Thank you!
I've never heard it explained this way. It makes so much more sense. I have touched on this feeling in the past. I always seem to stay just on the edge of correct form. My swing speed fluctuates between 105 and 118 and I can't (couldn't before the video maybe?!) figure out why. Lately I have been suffering from some serious lower back pain on my right side. I think this may be why. After a week or so off, I can't wait to try this drill. Hopefully I get my 300 yarders back!!
Finally someone who doesn’t tell people to keep turning the chest through impact like practically every instruction on the internet. The weight shift to lead side at transition drops the club and arms and stores the power. Then the feeling of stalling out transfers the power through the hands to the club and ball creating the speed. The chest will turn but only after club accelerates and pulls trunk round and through. Not only does this help speed but adds extension.
I love your videos! They are so easy to understand and make so much sense! This action is so me!!! I can’t wait to go to the range and work on this! Thank you!
Hey Christina! I watched this video and tried it on the course - previously with my driver I just kept on hitting fades and slices and now I can hit a soft draw as keeping the chest pointing back means I don't swipe at the ball. Hate losing distance with a slice - this video really helped me. 🥰
Guilty as charged! This (the X factor) is something I have started to do, its a separation of above-the-waist / below-the-waist. But I like this drill a lot because it accentuates the feeling of where the chest needs to be at or near impact. Thanks coach!
Great post, thank you.Tried this in practice today & found it helpful for distance & accuracy. I have to work on my timing though........liked & subbed..
great swing observation. we hear so much about rotation but you can over do it-especially w/ the upper body. the arms have to let fly. been working on re-sequencing my swing so arms start down once I have loaded on my trail leg (before my hips and shoulders clear.) I know it’s working when i can hit a soft draw. it’s not working when I flair one to the right.
You can watch this short video and get to the core reason your'e slicing instead of watching those 30 minute position videos that only leave you more confused and frustrated. Very well done!
Very useful golf tip, definitely identified one of the faults in my swing. A few years ago i played a course in Sedona Seven Canyons, looks like the same general area.
Christina, I was going back through your older videos, and this one really helped me a bunch. You might reproduce this in your newer content again. I think this is one the biggest mistakes I make, along with most amateur golfers.
This is so me! I’m not sure how the heck to make my chest freeze, but at least I know my problem. It would be nice to have seen a few drills to learn muscle memory.
I think this might be the game changer for me. Going to try it out at the range tonight. My issue been is that I’m early releasing and putting too much loft on the ball. After trying this tip at home with foam balls it looked to delay the release a bit but definitely generated more power. Will see what the real balls tell. I’m really hopeful.
Lydia Ko does this, she practically stops her upper body rotation until her arms pulls her around. Just back from the range....wow....thank you...now I'm "hitting" the ball..... ie. smash factor is up....BUT..... i'm tending to draw too easily...prob not shifting my weight......more fine tuning needed...but thank you again.
Cristina, I can hear the Gambels quail in your video and I see what looks like Sedona in the background. Do you teach in this area as I would really appreciate some lessons from you.
Ms. Ricci, I love your instruction. It’s been invaluable in helping me understand my golf swing, (the good and bad). My fault is with over rotation on the downswing. Do you have any drills (with driver) to help me ingrain the feeling of keeping my chest pointed behind the ball and having arms reals through? Any help is greatly appreciated!
This is one way to do it. And it works beautifully. The problem is it isn’t the only way to achieve solid golf shots. Much modern teaching has the chest open at impact, or covering the ball. Unfortunately most instructors teach their own swing and one size does not fit all. The best teachers can watch a students swings and make a determination what swing fits best for their flexibility, athleticism, age, body type etc. Readers will watch videos and try to as do you say and if it does not work may throw in the towel. When if fact there is another way to swing the club. This is not an indictment on you personally. It is a TH-cam phenomena.
This will probably help some people who over-rotate the upper body. You can play well with this swing, but it takes a great deal of timing because your club face is closing very quickly. This is what is known as a 'jump-stall' swing. Better way is to start with you left hip/weight landing forward toward the target and then start rotating. Thinking of your arms as ropes, being pulled via the rotation of the hips/then torso/shoulders. Tour pros don't stop rotating, the rotate ALOT with the arms/hands passively following. Lastly, if you look like this from golf, you should be a bodybuilder, you're jacked, bravo!
You just nailed my problem,coming over the top. I try to hesitate at the top of my swing but I still come down to fast which makes me come over the top resulting in a nasty hook.Not to be a pig but you have the buffest bod I've ever seen.
I've watched literally hundreds of videos by the top instructors on TH-cam, and this is by far the best tip I've seen so far. Thanks a bunch from a chronic "spinner" ;)
This is the best tip I have ever had. No more slices. Thanks millions.
This right here, THIS just fixed my issues. This is the only thing I have watch that touches on this. Thank you!
This was absolutely the best instruction I ever received. This lady is awesome!!!
Fantastic , very simple and great explanation. Great teacher who doesn’t fry your brain like some so-called top teachers.
My wife and I find all your vids helpful - you make it easy to understand.
Best advice I’ve gotten in a long, long time! My ball striking has improved significantly because of this video! Thank you very much!
I've had that problem like forever. Her description of what's actually happening in over rotation made sooooo much sense. It was like the light finally switched on! Thanks for the video!!
Thanks, I'll definitely give this a try. I now understand why my bad shots go left.
This lesson certainly applies to me . Been having lessons to correct it . Love the way you put these short sharp lessons across. Big fan here in the UK.
This is hands down your most important video. I keep watching it when I get out of sync.
Wow !! Sounds like me doing that for more 20 years !! Thank you coach !!
Really appreciate the clear explanation of the issues, the causes and the solutions, thank you.
One of the best things about this video is the instructor actually does exactly what she is trying to
get you to do. Most teach one thing and demonstrate another. Great job.

You are an awesome lady! Thanks for the lesson...over rotation. I will work on it during my next round.
Exactly my problem. Although i have just realised this by watching this video. Great lesson very clearly explained.
I kind of figured that I was over rotating my shoulders for the first time today. Thx for this video.
I love your explanation. I believe you may have finally solved one of the main issues with my inconsistent swing.
Thank you, thank you! Just the tip I needed. Now to practice and get this down.
One of the greatest golf videos on you tube. Game changer!!

I LOVE your voice and your teaching methods.
Great video thank's for the tip I think this could be a problem I've been having. Those red mountains in the back look stunning
Great instruction. Demonstrates a great understanding of the problem and the solution.
Thanks a lot!!! It is easy to figure out the down swing sequence. Have a nice weekend.
You explain the swing so well anyone can understand it. 👍

Thank you......I think I needed this simplified.....why hasn't my golf instructor explained this !
Hi Christina thank you for this great tip,it will certainly help me..
Awesome! Thanks, love you simple easy approach.
This was the best tip for me. Shot my best two rounds of the year after using this. Maintaining it is always a challenge, but it was a great lesson.
This video has changed my life!! Thank you x
Thank you. This is my best lesson for over rotation. And best solution.
Amazing instruction you just saved my summer ☀️
Great to hear!
This has been brilliant. Added 30 yards to my drive. Irons more as well but no as straight but I’ll keep working on it.
Thanks Christina this video really helped me! And it added significant distance. It didn't feel like it would when you try it and then you look up and you see how much further the ball goes and how much more solidly you hit it. Pretty amazing.
This was a massive fault of mine. Hit the range and saw vast improvements! Plus, my slice with the Driver is gone! Thanks for another great video.

Absolutely spot-on advice. This is the way really good players strike the ball.

I found this very helpful. Thanks.
Will try this, I struggle for distance and know for a fact I move forward before my arms. Great vid. Thanks 👍👍
This has been a constant problem of mine. I will try this and I hope it will help.
Can't put into words how key this was for me
Great exercise. I think this is one of my issues. Need to check it. Thanks
Hey Christina! I watched this video and tried it on the course - previously with my driver I just kept on hitting fades and slices and now I can hit a soft draw as keeping the chest pointing back means I don't swipe at the ball. Hate losing distance with a slice - this video really helped me. 🥰
Wow. Thanks a lot. I definitely over rotate the top of my body trying to get power. 😢
Brilliant coaching , ty for sharing ..

This is me to a tee! I got the video evidence to prove it too. Great simple instruction.

This was a great lesson. Thanks for creating these videos. They are very informative and your teaching method is easy to understand.
Wow ! You just described me :) Thanks!
And I love your arms!
Think that could be my problem, thanks for that x
Big slicer here and I finally notice why my shot keeps flying to the right! Hold upper body n don’t rotate too early! Thank you
I have low left snaps by over rotating, thanks for the pointers.
You can watch this short video and get to the core reason your'e slicing instead of watching those 30 minute position videos that only leave you more confused and frustrated. Very well done!

Great idea..I'll do an updated tip on this topic!
Great vid, thanks for the explanation of feel
Wouldn’t mind have a few lessons with you, your instruction is so worth
You got a new subscriber!! Thank you!! 😊
Golden!!!! Absolutely nailed it
This is so me! I’m not sure how the heck to make my chest freeze, but at least I know my problem. It would be nice to have seen a few drills to learn muscle memory.
Great stuff. Difficult for many to sequence the downswing like that. Being athletic helps a lot. Enough time and reps can do the trick.
I think this might be the game changer for me. Going to try it out at the range tonight. My issue been is that I’m early releasing and putting too much loft on the ball. After trying this tip at home with foam balls it looked to delay the release a bit but definitely generated more power. Will see what the real balls tell. I’m really hopeful.
very good lesson and you really look athletic today., I wished my arms looked that good. do you have any videos on conditioning for golf?
Thank you and yes i do! Stream all my MORE PARS Fitness workouts on MorePars.tv
♥️♥️♥️♥️. thanks for the breakdown 😃.
Lydia Ko does this, she practically stops her upper body rotation until her arms pulls her around.
Just back from the range....wow....thank you...now I'm "hitting" the ball..... ie. smash factor is up....BUT..... i'm tending to draw too easily...prob not shifting my weight......more fine tuning needed...but thank you again.
Love the way she speaks. Could listen to her read the phone book.
Cristina, I can hear the Gambels quail in your video and I see what looks like Sedona in the background. Do you teach in this area as I would really appreciate some lessons from you.
Ms. Ricci, I love your instruction. It’s been invaluable in helping me understand my golf swing, (the good and bad). My fault is with over rotation on the downswing.

This is magic. Thank you!

Great tip Christina.
Outstanding instruction!! And nice guns btw..
Great advice ! Thanks
As usual, nicely presented...
I've just started dropping the club down without using any force though out the hole swing, never hit it so straight of far ,
Wow, just wow. Thank you
This is a fantastic tutorial. Thanks
Really good to know,what are the body positions for solid iron play,is it all 1 position?
Nicely said and true except I keep 70% weight on the front foot.
You just nailed my problem,coming over the top. I try to hesitate at the top of my swing but I still come down to fast which makes me come over the top resulting in a nasty hook.Not to be a pig but you have the buffest bod I've ever seen.
Good info! The scenery is amazing.
looks an amazing course !
Where are you golfing? Looks like our home course @ Sky Mountain
