Thanks a lot for these awesome points. Can't wait to get home to try that. Especially point 1 is what I struggle with, I simply have no feeling at all for wait distribution during my whole swing. Hope this hint gives me for the first time the feeling of how it should be. You're an excellent instructor, thanks for everything.
Hey Chris, I started watching your videos here in the states. I admit I’ve played golf for 20yrs now and have had only one Rd in the mid 70’s and always stayed in the mid to high 80’s. Now with your videos I not only improved my trail arm I broke 80 for the first time in years! Chris thank you my friend. PS I won 7 skins...⛳️🏌🏿♂️
Ok Chris - think there is something in this - but trying to do all in one driving range session may have been a step too far - but definite progress made - well done
This video is what I needed to hear. Im lost in my swing and I believe I am doing all three of these currently. The last drill with the elbow is very effective to show how steep my shaft angle was getting. Kind of a light bulb moment for me. Thank you.
Awesome video Chris. Not only the problems and how to fix them, but love when instructors talk about “feeling” or “sensation” when practicing these drills.
Those fallow always know when they are out of season. Either that or they need to brush up on their golf tuition. Great video and some good tips and aids to help most folk.
Very true, we put a lot of info out there, and the vids are suggestions of things to ‘try’ but to pull out what applies to you, couldn’t agree with you more on this 👍
Always thoughtful concise ideas to take to the range. I've been having a swing wobble recently and the first drill will be so helpful to me. When my timing goes the first thing I do is hit behind the ball. Also the tee peg drill is always a useful reminder.
The 15 people who didn't like this video believe that the golf swing should be perfectly intuitive, natural and without any manipulation, whatsoever. And, anybody who's played this game for more than a week knows that that's a bunch of baloney. Executing the "fundamentals" of this game does not insure excellent and satisfying play. Perfect example of what I mean is grip tension. Just slight variations in grip tension can have a huge affect on executing your golf swing. What's the point? The 15 people who didn't like this video may, all, be accomplished golfers. But, they don't know jack shit on how to instruct this game to others (less gifted). Thank you, Chris Ryan. Great tutorial as, always!
Excellent video... what's your best tip on training the left hand to override a dominant right hand ?? That tee trick helps bunches, but in a .25 sec downswing, having the left to lead can be aggravatingly difficult.
That is absolutely fantastic as I have watched so many things to do with weight shift, or suppuration drills but without a doubt that one stands out especially when you control the tempo as well , as the rhythm is key to good ball striking Chris....
Great vid as always Chris! Watching my swing on my phone I noticed my lead arm doing the chicken wing thing. This vid and the one on thinning have helped my swing. We Americans love hearing y’all say tee peg for tee and garden for back yard. My favorite is when y’all say car park. 😝
Followed the first two but the shallowing. Is the average golfer going to do this in the split seconds of the down swing ? I see so many fellow golfers trying this in practice swings and poor results in proper shots. Deeper turn over right foot and lower body squat move is a better drill for learning to shallow?
Hi Chris, great stuff as always on the weight transition. Can you share a few tips on how to do it while avoiding your head to move excessively in the direction of weight transfer? I struggle with diving down when shifting my weight...
Hey Marvyn, a lot of great ball strikers move their heads forward and down in transition, and in some cases quite a bit! Unless it’s severe I’d say it’s ok to have that movement 👍
Great video as always Chris, can you do something about over hinged wrist in the back swing. Something that I struggle with at the moment which causes my inconsistent strikes (heavy left duck hook of a push slice)
Recently, I've been thinking it'd be better when describing bad moves, like the first one mentioned in this video, to show a slow mo swing of how that might look instead of just another one of your perfect looking swings.
Speaking to your first point..some instructors on TH-cam preach to rotate first..open up the body...not to shift the weight to front foot... finding this is the essence of contradictory direction on golf instruction..not sure which method is best... possible a blend of the two???
Yeah it can be tough when there are two schools of thought, but lots of different ways to get it done. Similar to if one instructor prefers a fade and another a draw, completely different impacts but both will still work 👍
@@ChrisRyanGolf inflexibility of the right wrist and elbow make it very difficult. I allow my right palm to come away from the grip at the top like Fred Couples, this makes your move easier.
Chris I've been following u for some time now. Is there a way I can get some lessons with you via computer, online, zoom etc??? I need help in 2 areas. Please lmk the next steps. I've only been playing for 5 years and I'm a. 11.6 hcp. I look forward to your response. Thanks.
I went and played today and I hit it horrendously. I know it was due to my clubface. I don't steepen it anymore. I've figured that out, at least. I've worked super hard on my swing, so having a day of such poor ball striking really sux. I started bowing my right wrist at the end and it helped me not hit it off to the right as much. My issue is, how do you bow your wrist and flex your right wrist and not have it feel 'manufactured' almost. It takes away from my natural speed and I don't like that. It's frustrating to say the least.
Sometimes you have to take a step backwards to eventually move forwards - losing some speed while you try to groove a new feeling in might reap rewards long term.
Three previous awesome lessons all in one and brilliantly delivered, well done Chris, thank you. Love to know what the thumbs down people are thinking... assuming they can! 😂
For me the two worst things are not knowing your eye dominance and trying to keep your chest at the same level you started at address as you swing back . If you’re left eye dominant , look at the back of the ball .right eye dominant, at the top of the ball or in front w/ irons . On the backswing , chest to the sky or extension and possibly a little tilt and side bend !
Legendary teaching tips, love your knowledge and advice - perhaps find some way to find the videos more fun, hitting more balls, rather than only talking. (Only my opinion, as I say, really great advice, love it)
I absolutely agree with you there, doesn’t mean golfers don’t do it. There are lots of things that golfers do which are pointless, that’s why they have issues 👍
Nice instructions with simple language easy to understand Chris
This is awesome. Definitely Tip #2 is my biggest need.
Thank you so much for your very clear instructions.

Very good video all three apply to me but we are getting there.!
I love the deer fighting in the background at 11:30

Another great video Chris, well explained and easy to understand
Thank you for your help with my golf, it's getting better all the time. Hitting the middle of the fairway more and more now thanks again Chris
Great to hear Ken
#3 is me. Big help here. Thanks Chris.
Well done Chris. I think I do all three. Which one should I work on first?? Thanks.

Excellent as ever.
I particularly like the trail elbow drill.
Many thanks.
Terrific as always. Thank you Chris!

Great tips. Thank you
Excellent Golf Teacher in TH-cam 😎
Great video as always, Chris. What golf shoes are you wearing in this one? Very smart 👍🏼
Hi Cris, are you saying to shift your weight on the back foot on the back swing? Thanks
Great video!
Thank you, thank you, thank you. My friend will appreciate your video once I pluck up the courage to send it to him!😂🏌🏼♂️

Absolutely amazing tips. Thank you.
Thanks Marco
ChrisRyanGolf I follow your account on Instagram under AndrewMarcGolf my son’s golf account. Your tips have really helped him improve. Thank you.
Fantastic tutorial again The challenge is to focus ont The right thing and don't get lost in all information 👍

Yeah the first drill is great for timing and tempo as well as weight shift 👍
Amazing points I’ve not seen before. Thank you Chris!

That’s a tough one, sometimes changing the grip style can help a little, going to overlap if it’s not already held like that can help
Thank youuuu 🙂🙃🙂

Thanks Dave 👍
Great tips and drills - time to practice at the range and in my garage
Thanks Brian hope the practice goes well

Glad the vids are helping
Nice one as usual Chris 👍
Thanks
So you have to actively turn your wrist or bow your wrist at some point in your downswing to hit the ball well?
Hi Chris, great stuff as always on the weight transition. Can you share a few tips on how to do it while avoiding your head to move excessively in the direction of weight transfer? I struggle with diving down when shifting my weight...

Would like to see how the tee is positioned under the Velcro.

Wow I just realized that I need to learn all three 😢😢😢
How far back should my bask swing go. I have always struggled to figure out where I should start on my downswing.
Chris, how do you get that pressure forward, without overly sliding with your hips ?
Do the feet together and step in to the swing thing a few times and you will get the feel. It is a great training aid.
Speaking to your first point..some instructors on TH-cam preach to rotate first..open up the body...not to shift the weight to front foot... finding this is the essence of contradictory direction on golf instruction..not sure which method is best... possible a blend of the two???

@@ChrisRyanGolf thanks Chris
Thanks Chris. My big problem is No. 3, so I'll try your drill. I notice that you can't do it either :):)
Yeah I definitely struggle with that part of the swing

I think they get paid for dislikes)
There are always some 😂
Couple of deers fighting in the background 😂 great vid as usual

Oh!
1,2 for me. 3 is what my father needs to see.

Steepening the shaft is the result of compensation for a swing fault earlier in the swing.
It can be yes, but can also be a fault on its own
ChrisRyanGolf I disagree because if the club face and pivot align properly. Steepening the shaft angle would be pointless.
I absolutely agree with you there, doesn’t mean golfers don’t do it. There are lots of things that golfers do which are pointless, that’s why they have issues 👍
Pretty funny .. I do all 3 things when my game is off ... at the same time. :-)
Unfortunately there will be a few who tick all 3 boxes in this one
All of these apply to me. Huhuhuhu 😭😭😭
Use a tee when practicing the drills!
👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Just 3 things...lol
