I would like to take two minutes to thank you on this one Chris. I've been releasing the club early since I started to learn on my own, I've been looking for drills for about 2 years, the last one in your video with the stick that you spear into the ground finally did it. It gives me the correct feeling, sensation, movement to realiaze with my right arm. Of course it is going to take some work, but man, finally!
Brilliant clear explanations / context / drills as always. I do like how you relate the movement to natural movements like throwing a stone. Please could you bank this video up with a further focus on the Hub & Spoke nature of the shoulder movement to support this move into the ball. I think there is a slight danger the amateur golfer might try to hold onto the trail arm fold too long. You & Pete Cowen are the two best coaches on the planet. 🎉
Hi Chris, tried this today. Keeping the right arm in the position as you suggested improved my ball striking immensely. Thank you so much , feel as though I have "found" something in my swing .
This is brilliant Chris! Everything that is wrong with my takeaway and the knock on effect throughout the swing. My elbows separate and have my right elbow too tight to my side, causing across the line and then OTT on the way back down. I feel I lose a lot of speed and distance because of this correcting compensation. I will be really concentrating on this. Thank you so much
I liked this video. I've been struggling to get my trail arm to fold naturally. It always feels forced. Perhaps starting with my trail arm rotated will do the trick. Thanks
Come on Chris, sorry had to stop video. I literally see 1 out of 500 golfers that chicken the right arm on take away. I don't need that help. Call the video how to cure a chicken wing trail arm
Hey Jay, everyone is going to have their own opinions and views on the golf swing so if that’s your view then I can’t argue, but we can discuss it and debate it. When the trail arm chicken wings going back it basically means it’s going into external rotation rather than internal rotation, now I’d agree that I tend to make all these moves look far worse than they are, but if the arm doesn’t fold correctly away from the ball then it’s going to compromise the position at the top. One of the most common differences between grest golf swings and poor golf swings is the trail arm at the top, the guys over at AMG golf have some great data on this having captured thousands of golf swing, amateurs and pro’s. So trail arm working incorrectly in 1 out of 500 swings, I’m not sure is accurate, and if you were just to take a sample of 500 golfers randomly, there is a far great er chance of that 1 being a pro with great trail arm structure and the other 499 struggling. So yes, I over exaggerate, I show extreme moves but the data shows that many if not most amateurs struggle to organise their down swings due to how the move their trail arm going back 🙏🏻
Hope you enjoy the video, any questions just drop them below

My pleasure Gareth thanks for watching and hope it helps
Excellent stuff, can't wait to try this sequence tomorrow, probably end up spearing my foot!!
🤣 not sure if my insurance covers injuries from the drills I advocate 😁
Great explanation as always Chris, I want to try the spear drill soon! Thank you.
Thanks, hope it helps…. Just make sure you don’t spear your foot 😁
@@ChrisRyanGolfhaha I'll try it gradually and work up to a full speed spear.
Honestly a great and useful video. Well done.
Thanks so much, glad it was useful
What length of an alignment stick should I use? I'm 5 feet 2 inches. thanks! anxious to try your drill!

Hope it does help, if done correctly it can feel pretty natural, that set up may be key
Great video Chris 🍻🙌
Thanks Matt
Great video. Thank you.
Thanks Richard 🙏🏻
Well done Chris 👏 😊
Thanks Roy
So what happens if the inside of the elbow points to the camera (more internal rotation) at setup?
What is the name of the Tope training aid you use.
Hey Eric, it’s just called the golf swing trainer, got it from Amazon so should be fairly easy to get hold of
Bloody genius 👏
Thanks 🙏🏻
Chris, when are you and the family moving to the states so that I can have in-person lessons?
I would love to! Even just to visit kore often would be fantastic, but no plan to move just yet
That jacket is sick! What’s the brand
It is isn’t it! Everything I wear is GFore, they have some great pieces
You should do a series where you do 9 or 18 holes. 👌👌👌👌
Yeah definitely plans to do that and get more on course content, weather against me in the U.K. at the moment though 😬
I’m about as basic golfer as they come and I don’t recall anyone bending their arm like that in the backswing
The deer behind you are completely ignoring your lesson. How rude! Seriously though, great lesson and explanation of right arm movement.
I know, but I checked and they have perfect tail arm positions so they didn’t need this particular lesson 🤣
DEER!!!!
Ex-spear-iance.😂
Has anyone EVER SEEN a persons backswing look like that?
I believe he was exaggerating for effect.

are you not ashamed of yourself?
All the time 😁
