If you know enough about the golf swing and how to do it properly you know that Cristina makes great videos. 30 seconds into her videos and you realize how good she is as a teacher of the golf swing.
This really helped me. I'm a lefty who pulls drives to the right more then occasionally. The thought of going through the shot via the cone helped me straightened out my drive. Thanks, Christina Ricci. Greatly appreciated.
Tried this out today, and it worked really well. Thank you very much. I also found that this technique made it easier to draw the ball, as long as my grip was kept at near neutral.
What a difference this made to the way I struck the ball today - ok it's Winter here and ball not travelling far, but the connection was so clean and it just makes such sense about the swing arc! Thank you Christina!
Thanks for the simple explanation & around the corner term. I’ve been working on this at the range & when I do it, it’s a bomb, more distance & draw. Love your videos.
Your "shake hands" on the follow through idea rattled around in my empty head for a few months before coming home to roost. As you pointed out, the brain wants to swing down the target line but the body pulls the club across the line with the face square to the target and you get a banana. The more I tried to rotate, the worse the problem became. You have to anticipate the pull to the left by coming from the inside. Turning over the club by "shaking hands" makes it easier for the brain to accept this. I hope I'm right 😀
Best part of this video is the 6 Million Dollar Man sound effect during the slo mo swing! When practicing I always use an alignment stick just outside the ball, pointing out to right field.
I tried this and it is effective. Reinforces what a instructor told me a few years ago, swing to the corner. But I need some further advice. What do you tell students who play right handed but are left handed? My golf is very inconsistent and I attribute a lot of my problems to this. I even bought a set of left handed clubs, not so much to play with them, but to get a feel of what the trail arm is supposed to feel like. However to translate this to my swing while playing is very difficult. I will say if I focus on pushing with my trail hand it does help. A few people have advised me to throw in the towel and play left handed.
That swing looks great but it seems like a timing thing o my question is and I agree with you the swing at impact is more of a rounded swing but when you come down to your right thigh shouldn’t the right hand be pointed down for a bent right wrist and then a throw from lower to higher with the hand exiting left because of the left shoulder going back but it takes out the timing part of it and the face is way more stable? I hope that made sense thank you ..
whenever I aim my driver club head swing out to the right, I push my ball straight right .......is there any drill you recommend to help me get the feeling of how to turn my hands over correctly ?...thanks
Yes coming soon... also: be sure you are not aiming right with clubface at setup. Face should be aiming at target line. Swing direction (downswing direction) is slightly out to the right
Any thoughts on what I call ‘white ball syndrome’? I take a nice, fluid, smooth-tempo, practice swing, but when there’s a ball there I tend to still swing at the ball, my swing basically ends there, and I’m all over the place?
Could be any number of things. Impossible to provide accurate feedback without seeing your swing. Come to camp: morepars.com. in the meantime, check your grip (is it too weak), are you releasing the clubhead (so closing the face)? Are you finishing the swing so body lines well left of the target on your finish? Things to check that may help square the face.
Maybe it’s just me, but this seems very “flippy”…look at all the pros in slow motion, they are 100% swinging to the left at impact with a more stable, “held-off” kind of look. This may be a quick fix for someone has a major slice, but will cause major inaccuracy issues.

Fantastic, Barbara! So glad to hear. Merry Christmas!
Nice visual demonstrating the cone.
One of your best instructional and informative videos ever!
Thanks for the simple explanation & around the corner term. I’ve been working on this at the range & when I do it, it’s a bomb, more distance & draw. Love your videos.
Great lesson I work on this every time on the range. Extend those arms.
Always helpful & simple tips. I'll try this out first chance I get out this golf year. I enjoy your voice & light personality. Thank You
Thanks - it’s a counterintuitive idea/motion. If my head (not club head) weight stays back it works really well.
You are awesome!!!!! This is exactly what I needed.
One of your Best!! (sun up to the range with sticks and work it) Thank You!

I will be sure to try this on the range, thank you
Thanks!
Thank YOU so much Steve! 😀

Thanks Christina, going to work on this tomorrow, I know I roll my right hand over, hope this drill will help thanks.
I am a real roller too!! Need this!
Love the POV
Good stuff, thanks again.
Great vid
Awsome, your the best
What a personality !

That’s me exactly!

Do you feel the swing more in your lead or trail arm?
Great input may prevent the ball from swerving to the right

Hi..I tried this but somehow cannot able to square the club head at impact..any tips on that will be appreciated

No putting on the breaks on this rollercoaster ride. Full tilt heading to where we all need to go! 💢👏🏽👏🏽 Great teach as usuALL ⛳
Does this apply to fairway woods, as well?
Yes, same deal with your woods!
You do the same with the irons?
Yes, same deal with your irons!
😎👍

I'll do a future tip on this. A confused topic for many. Thanks for sharing
Looks great if you (mostly me!) could get the lower body to go first!!
