Outstanding coach. The best in the business. Well done Chris, you explain in every video in a way that it is easy to understand. Top class and you deserve a bigger garden at home lol
Excellent video!! Taking the club too far to the inside is exactly my problem even though when I'm swinging it doesn't feel that way. But when I take a video it's exactly what I'm doing. It's a bigger problem with my driver and I get that little loop at the top leading to an outside to inside path. This is an awesome drill to work on. I magine it will feel a bit weird at first (like it's too steep) but should help.
Always managed to start the takesway correctly but then moved the club inside. Great video, I finally undstand how the swing plane works - holding the club next to the clubhead was the Aha moment👍
The stop and go exercise absolutely transformed my ball striking. I need some more practice though as I'm currently hitting the ball flush stopping in the backswing but NOT in my full swing. 😁 Short story: if you struggle with shallowing your club like i am.. TRY IT
Clean lesson, and the drill (gripping down to the steel) is also a wonderful way to get a feeling of togetherness in the takeaway and really gets the wrists loaded for power.
Great video… made me also think about practicing in the back garden. Can you tell me where the golf practice net came from or if you can recommend a make thanks
hey chris really appreciate you continuing to make videos during the pandemic. I've been wathcing your videos before my range sessions and I've seen my fade turn into a draw! and my driver shots have been way more consistent unbelievable really. still need to control how much power and speed I put into my swings but i think once I stop thinking about technical stuff and its more embedded in my memory it will be better
Thank you so much. That is how they shallow club, by using that balance point and allowing it to just fall in. You are the greatest golf teacher. I love the net.
Hi Chris, firstly thank you for a wonderful video. I have tried the drill and it helps a lot. I have a question and a request for you. 1) Should we follow the same drill for resque, woods and driver? If yes then could you please make an extended video. 2) Could you please share a video on how to hit woods from fairway and what should be our takeaways. Once again thanks for your help. my game has actually improved a lot by just following your drills :)
I'm definitely interested in coming for a lesson when this lockdown eases Chris(I'm in Wales). I've always thought to treat myself to a top lesson but never have....
Hey Chris your videos have helped my golf game so much. I’ve had a problem recently where my back shoulder fires to quickly and causes me to hit the ball off the toe and dig the toe of the club into the ground. Any drills to help?
Love your videos Chris. You break it down and explain things really well. Had a session today with one of your old teachers at the Belfry: Jason Froggatt. He was asking if I watched stuff on UA-cam and I mentioned your videos, he said you were one of his trainees way back!
What are your thoughts, if any, on the Moe Norman single plane swing? I'm trying to use something close to that but found that I must get big width on the backswing to have any success.
Hi Chris I note your swing in relation to your height which looks Tall well compared to my 5’6”. So here’s my question my standard ping irons are made for an average height of 5’8” and been told either cut the clubs or shallow your swing. I’m choosing the latter and wondering if this is something you would recommend.
Hi Chris, can I send you 6 second video of my swing. I am really trying to not get so steep on my downswing. I take it back on one plane and then on the way down it is on an entirely different plane but I can’t seem to break that. It would be nice to get less steep on the way down.
Hey Jeff, I’m not against that for full swings as the shaft can often shallow in transition, but when playing half shots, pitch shots etc with shorter swings it can be hard to get the club into the delivery position with less time 👍
Ive been working/fighting on this for months now, and i just cant seem to make any progress. Im near scratch, but i do tend to roll the shaft flat on the backswing. When i correct it the results are terrible, hooks galore, not to mention it just feels unnatural to me. Question- i have noticed that regardless of my roll flat takeaway, i still end up very much on plane on the downswing, and dont really get too steep. Is this acceptable or should i continue to work on the backswing? Thanks!
Landon Van Horn if you come into impact correctly why worry about how you take it back. If it is consistent all is fine... just as an info, look at many old great players like Sam Snead he took it back deeply, Bobby Jones... or more recent an incredibly good player ( maybe the best chipper of all time) John Daly... Just my two cents... have a nice Sunday
I really struggle with this move, the club goes behind me and is more shallow to steep rather than steep to shallow. I then have a closed club face at the top. I've tried every takeaway drill known and still cant nail it. All this and I still have a handicap of 5.9 :(
Simple....factual....concise.....great video we can all benefit from!!....many thanks!!!

Never seen that first drill before. Excellent and so easy to get instant feedback.

This is probably the most essential thing to know about the golf swing, the difference it makes is unbelievable

Great lesson, Chris.
Golf course or back yard your coaching is the best on the internet, Chris!
Thanks 😂😂
Nice explanation! Thank you.
great video , i have a big problem with my swing path.
Have a wonderful day .
This will help a lt i think .
Excellent video and breakdown
Great video… made me also think about practicing in the back garden. Can you tell me where the golf practice net came from or if you can recommend a make thanks
Great explanation, Chris 👍🏻
Comprehensive and very useful information given yet, delivered in a concise manner. Well done Chris, another great lesson.
Thank you.
Another top lesson from the best coach on UA-cam helping my game no ends cheers Chris 👏👍
Thanks Dave 👊

Love this and great to hear 👍👍
Good stuff, Chris. These lessons are really helpful & straightforward . Easy sub
Thanks Nolan appreciate that
Really enjoyed that. Nice drill for me. In trying to NOT drag the club inside, I now go too steep (over-adjustment). This drill could help that.
Great drill ! Love the bottom of grip drill, Chris does the driver grip bottom point in the channel as well ?
Thank you so much. That is how they shallow club, by using that balance point
and allowing it to just fall in. You are the greatest golf teacher. I love the net.
Going to try this at the range tomorrow
Excellent! Well explain
Great drill, used it on the range. Thanks.
Great video. I feel this is something I struggle with and will definitely work on these drills.
These at home tips are fantastic! Thanks so much for keeping us sharp during these dark times. Much love from 🇺🇸!!
Great video. Very well done.

Thanks again Chris
Really enjoy your videos Chris! Maybe a dumb question, does this apply to all the clubs, or specific to the irons?
It does yes Dave 👍
Another great video from the best teacher on the Internet!!! 👍🏻👌🏻

Hey Matt, ah Jason, great guy and yes I was. Had quite a few lessons from him back in the day, great coach. Say hi from
Me next time you see him
👍👍

Love that Chris pal.❤️👍
Yeah nice drill
Could it also be applied to the driver back swing
Hi Chris I note your swing in relation to your height which looks Tall well compared to my 5’6”.

Thank You. One question please. Provided one finds a shallow downswing plane, a shallow/flat backswing is not a problem in itself? Best regards.
Wow, after trying my original swing I can't believe where the grip has been facing 😂
I'll be trying this out tomorrow
I struggled with slicing a lot. Tried this and no I am hooking everything. Any suggestions?
Hi Chris. What would be a potential pitfall if if the shaft was directly above the hands, halfway back ?
Hey Jeff, I’m not against that for full swings as the shaft can often shallow in transition, but when playing half shots, pitch shots etc with shorter swings it can be hard to get the club into the delivery position with less time
👍
Hell yeah

Try putting a headcover or golf glove under your lead armpit when you do the drill.
great video, but I think the neighbors must be unhappy with that slapping sound every few seconds. :)
Matt Wolfe does have a terrible backswing there is no denying that. His downswing however which is more important is very nice.
Definitely not the perfect plane
