  • If you want to hit better, more solid golf shots that fly further through the air working on the trail arm can help this happen.
    One of the big differences between the best in the world and the handicap golfer is how they use and move their trial arms through the downswing, this video by Chris Ryan explains just how this trail arm move will change your game for the better

    What else do you think is a big difference between a tour player and an amateur?

    • @sirtogii5216
      @sirtogii5216 3 роки тому +8

      All the pro's hips (or centre pelvis) move away from the ball, pretty much all amateurs move towards it. Guilty as charged....

      Pros practice, practice, practice while ams turn up once a week, don’t practice first then self criticise without realising the significance of muscle memory. The other thing I think is attitude towards yourself, I once read that after a bad shot, which we all have, you should speak to yourself as you would to your best mate... not your worst enemy as some do; state of mind is a huge factor in this wonderful game!

      @emeargemearg 3 роки тому +3

      The absolute rock solid takeaway. No sway or lifting. Just pure turn and winding up to set the club. The Golf Online slow mo of Tiger is a thing of beauty and is so far away from my swing it makes me want to give up (but i wont!). Great video as always Chris.

      I’ve only taken a few lessons in my lifetime (60 now) and been around a few decent players and it’s funny no one has ever stressed how important that move is in the downswing. It’s almost like they don’t want you to know and enjoy watching you struggle and continue to pay for more lessons and have more physical pain from doing it wrong. Sad!

    This arm position tip has literally changed my game. I had been having a problem coming across and even shanking when coming across too much. This has not only eliminated that, but also helped get rid of the fat shots as well. Thank you Chris.

    Another great lesson Chris. This ties in really nicely to your lesson “How to hit down on the ball”. That drill almost forces the trail hand into the position you show here. You have the clearest explanations with follow up drills out there.

  • @npxmnpxm

    I have watched many UA-cam videos on the swing and 90% are pure junk. This video was however excellent and very correct. You have perfectly outlined the trail arm path to and through the ball. The “throw” takes place from the elbow and as you point out NOT from the wrist ( throw away ). Thanks for producing a fine video. Good production quality as well.

    Wow!! I've doing this drill for around three days. Before that my misses were to the right (fades), this drill has almost eliminated these misses. But what is immensely pleasing, is that my contact has gotten so much better and consistent and i'm hitting it longer, straighter and further. I'm amazed at its effectiveness.
