This is exactly what I needed. As soon as you showed the foot angle and the head down; I knew that was exactly what I was doing.

I do every error you talked about in this video, cant wait to practice all these tips this week

Just another great and I can't emphasize this enough, simple and easy to understand explanation. I thoroughly enjoy the video's from Chris and the demonstrations. Just wow!

Finally, a video I can study about the bad problem of NOT finishing that I have. Great video, Chris. Good teaching. Thanks

The best in-depth explanation video I have seen so far, it has really helped me understand the fundamentals in a way that makes sense, thank you very much.

Excellent. Explained so well. Cleared many wrong concepts about golf swing. Helped a lot in correcting my swing. Thanks.

Great advice, explained very simply.

Good video Chris. I think the warning should be that many amateurs get confused with getting the weight forward, and end up with the shoulders and head way in front of the ball at impact, causing a horrific over the top swing. It’s so important to keep that head at or slightly behind the ball at impact.

I’ve struggled with this for years-this drill could really help me- many thanks.

Thanks Chris. Very helpful video. Consistency of a balanced finish has been a struggle. I’m also one of the players you alluded to that has reasonably good technique in practice, but things often breakdown on the course. So, I’m looking forward to the video you mentioned that addresses the mental side of the game.

Another excellent video. Had this same issue when I changed to a rotational swing recently, my feet essentially didnt know what to do. Looking at Ben Hogans swing made me learn, seeing his swing is a great visual with his exaggerated movements, he really transfers the pressure to his leading foot before he finishes the back swing. It takes some confidence to make the change but well worth it in the long run.

Thanks Chris, good advice.

Luvin these swing tips , I’ve hit so many practice soft balls against the garage wall these last couple of months , hope I can hit the fairway when the time eventually comes ...

Great lesson!

Thank u u saved my game

Thank you for the tutorial

Always great stuff! I'm practicing about 10 hours + a week. Not counting the swings I do in the house ... :-)

Great tip flaring the lead foot!! I always felt I couldn't get a full finish .Now I know the probable reason.My lead foot at address has always been too square .Cheers for this great tip .!

I normally hit 78-82 and lately have really struggled with clean strikes and have been hitting fat, so annoying. I really think that the early weight transition will help. Thanks Chris, just what I needed. Hopefully weather here will be good for golf at the weekend. It was 38C last week.

Very good it seems as if I get stuck behind thank you

Excellent video lesson again Chris, thank you. This has always been an issue in my game and remains a weak spot when things start to go wrong from time to time! Keep up the great work.

Will test it today on Range :)

I find initiating the downswing with my right elbow helps immensely with getting the weight transitioned forward early.

Thanks so much for the quality instruction videos and great explanation. This video will really be key to my swing consistency that gets away on occasion. Always look forward to your tips and making it simple.

Tried the flaring the foot out, in an exaggerated way today. I was much more consistent with my ball striking with this technique. I now using the flaring technique along with the kiss the shoulder technique on my back swing and now feel my body working more in my shots. I have new muscle soreness in my legs that I never had before.

Thanks Chris, great video.

Thanks John, yes tough for us golfers at the moment. These vids were filmed pre lockdown, although I am now running out of pre filmed content!

“Weight left (stop hanging back)” ... Easy to say, difficult to do. Most of us never really get all the way over to the left. Hang back and the ball goes right ... every time. I open my left foot at address, setup with more weight forward, try to shift left in transition and I STILL don’t get to that good “pro” finish position. I think it’s a physical limitation, a flexibility issue. Gotta try letting my head rotate. “Keep your head down” is the worst advice ever given. Makes sense... let the head go, torso (and weight) should follow. I have to try this ☝🏻 Thank you, Chris 🙏🏻 ... this is a huge issue for MOST of us.

I agree, it is a great tip and essential for good CHS, but how to do it is another matter. I have been trying for many weeks and still can’t do it :(

This was VERY helpful. I tend to fall forward or to the side on my finish. This will help, I'm sure. Could you at some point address something very simple...how to fit a golf glove! I think that I am perhaps using a glove that is slightly too big but the medium seems really tight. Any suggestions there? Thanks for ALL your wonderful videos!

If the weight starts forward just slightly before the backswing is completed is that allowing the club to fall into “the slot”? Seems like an almost foolproof way to not come over the top too. I will try this next outing cause all my buddies say I never get to my left side..

Hi Chris I found that if I take the club back and stop trying to set the wrists in my back swing its makes it much easier to transfer my weight , love to hear your thoughts on this.

Hey Johnny, if it helps with an element of the swing that you need to improve then great and I’d advise you keep that as a swing thought. I wouldn’t say there is any real correlation between the two, but very often a golfers feel can help even if the reality is a little different 👍

Good advice for irons and some woods for accurarcy. The driver is different, a lot of the long hitters WILL fall back due to opposing forces. Club goes forward and body goes back for maximum speed. Look at the greatest Jack Nckaus

Agreed, driver often creates a different pattern, the pressure still moves to the lead side early, but as you say often as they push up they move backwards 👍

Any drills to finish my swing Chris? I just can't seem to do it without heaving the upper body and I know that's completely wrong 😢😢😢

Is your sternum moving in front of the ball on the first move?

Hey Jim, if you can’t move to your lead side then the ball would need to be much further back in your stance to allow you to still strike the ball solid

This is my question too - I can do the correct movement in my practice swing and at the range but put me on the course where the result matters and my brain takes over and I hang back. Desperately need help with this mental issue 🙏

Swinging 2 clubs at the same time will help with this.

@hendeda1964

I have enough trouble swing one at a time.

One of the main reasons for hanging back / topping / chunking is having the club face open coming into the release. Then staying back and flipping is the only way to square the face. Surprised not to see that explanation here (with a tip or two to remedy this).

Question about visualization: shouldn’t we visualize what our body does NOT what the ball flight does? We can control our body movements but not the actual flight.

@golfnutnz9274

3 жыл бұрын

Hi Timo, in my view you’re sort of right but not quite. It’s good during practice to visualise your body movements and club path to try and obtain the flight that you’re looking for, ie. low, high, draw, fade or of course, a combination of them all. Once you’ve obtained that skill through your practice and start playing your game, before each shot you then want to visualise your intended ball flight to get where you want to go. And, if you’ve practiced enough, in theory, your skills will automatically hit the ball to the desired position, if not... more practice required! Just my humble view and I’m sure Chris will explain it better than I.

@ChrisRyanGolf

3 жыл бұрын

Great question Timo and lots of discussion about which is best. For me a combination of the two works really well. For many, visualising what flight they want allows the body to organise itself in such a way that you create that flight, a really great and simple way of playing. However, that doesn’t work for everyone and some find they have to focus on how the body moves to create the shot. It’s trying to establish which works for each individual, but in many cases the both together can really help

Yeah it’s definitely an option, can be hard to generate as much speed, but can be helpful for someone who just needs to strike it better 👍
