That is the best takeaway drill I have ever used. So simple and yet so effective. Really shows the feel of a correct takeaway rather than hitting a position that looks right but isn’t. Ball compression was way better and I think it has cured my overswing where my right arm would get behind me.
Probably the best golf instruction videos out there. Playing good golf is quite simple, it is us who complicate things and Chris is a testament of how simple and easy it can be. Keep up the good work. Greetings from Southern California
Great video. I´d love to see a continuation of this videos from the end of the takeaway to the end of the backswing. You can´t find many video on this subject on youtube.
Those are fantastic drills Chris! I have had so much trouble with my takeaway ( trying to synchronize everything) and you have just explained it so well🙏👍
Great takeaway lesson. Your method of building the takeaway into the final swing is genus. I look to implement this into my swing as soon as possible. The takeaway has be an issue for me for quite some time. I can not tell you how many good rounds have be ruined by swing fatigue occurring over the final few holes.
@@ChrisRyanGolf brilliant...the takeaway as always been my downfall as I get it behind me so there is no width. This drill is great and something I will be able to do in the house. Keep up the great work.
Thanks very much Chris I have been trying hard to fix this part o f my swing recently. You are so good at explaining things. I really appreciate all the help you have given me.
You've got such a good swing chris. It's one I try to model. One thing that got the takeaway ingrained for me and made it be never a problem is I feel like I almost drag the clubhead away with it feeling like my hand are going first. I learned that one from Mr. Short Game's channel. I have to give him credit there. This is an awesome drill too that you're teaching here.
Hahaha, how strange…. I literally filmed a video on that exact topic last week, although that was for me FB page, but yeah I also love that drill and it’s one that I use a lot for my game, makes my swing look 👍
Thanks Chris great video think your teaching is really clear and great. Im back to golf after a 17 year lay off and local pro lesson got me working on sitting my weight more in the back swing. I'll give this lesson a good run through many times im sure thank you Jon
Well done Chris, another great lesson. ⛳️. 🏌️♂️ Love the idea that change in what you’re feeling is good... reminds me of the old quote, “if things don’t change they stay as they are”!
Thanks Chris. I've been following you for a while now - also your articles in Today's Golfer. This exercise has really been a great help to me. Struggled with the takeway for a long time. I play off 6 and have always relied on my hands to make up for being out of position at the top of my swing. Now that you've helped fix the takeway for me, I'm able to get back to impact with far less effort. The quality of strike, distance and consistency are all much better. 👍
I know this is an old video but hopefully you’ll see this and respond. I think this may be my consistency issue. I’m bowing my lead wrist immediately at the takeaway and closing the club face. My big miss is a pull hook. Would this cause such a miss?
Great drill and video. You suggested foot spray to determine strike location on the face. I hit 13 of 14 fairways but the strike is halfway between center and heel. Any thoughts on how to get a consistent center strike.
Thanks Chris , great video , always been under plane on first move of takeaway because of to much hip turn to soon , , did the drill and felt no hip movement and got the position . Do you video lessons ,as I would like to send you my swing for your views . Best wishes Paul
Chris, simple instructions thanks. Ben Hogan said move your hips slightly first and your shoulders/arms will follow. Mind you he played a long time ago and methods have moved on I guess.
When doing this excercise, my ‘feeling’ is of taking my left arm accross my chest. A big change from my old swing where my hands used to go out and away from my body.

Thanks Juan appreciate that, would love to visit California soon
Your instructional videos are the greatest.
Thanks so much
This might be the best takeaway video I’ve seen (and I’ve seen a lot). Well done! I’m very impressed with several of your videos.
Thanks James really appreciate that
Best takeaway instruction ever - really helped! Bob
Great video. I´d love to see a continuation of this videos from the end of the takeaway to the end of the backswing. You can´t find many video on this subject on youtube.
Agree, especially on the left wrist as once the takeaway reach parallel I have problem hinging especially on longer clubs.
Shot 82 yesterday after working this drill into my routine. Thanks Chris!
Great information..the takeaway sets up the entire swing..the best explanation I have ever heard..TY
I agree, so many get off to a poor start and it’s tough from there
Those are fantastic drills Chris! I have had so much trouble with my takeaway ( trying to synchronize everything) and you have just explained it so well🙏👍
Excellent video on the takeaway. Great drill as well. I will work on this in my next practice session. Thanks for posting!
Thanks Joe hope it helps
Thanks so much for doing this! I'll take it to the range and course.
Thanks Chris, lightbulb moment!

Thanks Tony and hope it works this morning for you

Thanks Chris. Legend.
I really improved my take away using this drill, many thanks.
Thanks and great to hear

Thanks Jon, that’s a long break but great that you are back playing again
Thank you Mr. Ryan
My pleasure

So true, it has to change and it will often feel awkward too
Just subscribed yesterday. Chris, you break down the mechanics beautifully. THANK YOU
Thanks Donna and thanks for subscribing, hope the videos help
@@ChrisRyanGolf : I learned more in your videos about what my body should be doing than I have with my 2 lessons with a "live" person!!

excellent video; great for a solid pre shot routine....
Thanks Keith and yeah would work great in that way
Great video Chris, hope your all is good mate 👍🏻
Thanks Lewis and yep all good mate, hope you are too

Do you video lessons ,as I would like to send you my swing for your views .

Thanks Paul, that’s my common fault too, whipping the club inside. I do yes, my website has more info on this, ChrisRyanGolf.com
Chris, simple instructions thanks. Ben Hogan said move your hips slightly first and your shoulders/arms will follow. Mind you he played a long time ago and methods have moved on I guess.
Another nine minute video that could be done in one.
When doing this excercise, my ‘feeling’ is of taking my left arm accross my chest. A big change from my old swing where my hands used to go out and away from my body.
Yeah it does offer up some different feels, hope it helps
I feel like this makes me turn my hands so fast. I feel that before I would stretch my hands and push them away from my body on the backswing.
I am going to try this. For some reason I just can’t seem to get my grip right anymore and it is affecting my takeaway - Frustrating
👍👍👍
This is something I've just gone back to. Take away has always been to much inside for me.
Hope it helps Ian, inside is the most common move away, this drill should help through
.....and yell FORE!!!
