After many years and thousands of videos plus some professional lessons, you sir have described the golf swing in a way that made me finally get it! I started with the drill where you just show how the left hand works. I'm just now realizing that I'm driving my right shoulder and my shoulders are open at impact. This did 3 things to me: 1. Everything pulled left. 2. I lost a ton of speed and distance. 3. I could never understand how anyone could have straight arms after impact. I always bent my left arm. I'm so excited. Thanks. Great videos!!!!
Thank you for the really great comment and so happy you found the info you needed. Let me know if you need any help along the way or if you have any questions at all.
Brilliant video and finally I know what it means not to turn shoulders only hips through impact keeping shoulders mostly square whilst keeping buttons on shirt behind your belt buckle through impact. Well done.
Thanks for this thorough explanation Chris! For years my instructor has been telling me that my shoulder turn is too much in relation to my hip turn at impact. He stressed getting my hips turning faster rather than slowing down my arms, but this shows me that the real problem has not been keeping my shoulders square (buttons behind the belt buckle) and letting my trail shoulder come under rather than around as a byproduct of the swing sequence.
Thanks for watching and so glad to hear you were able to get a different look at how the shoulders will function through the release. Good luck in your next practice session. Hope you’ll join us again in the future.
I’ve been working on this for about a week now and it has really helped me to stop trying to muscle the ball. This creates almost a slingshot effect. Yesterday, my irons kept flying the greens because I was a club longer. Straighter too.
I'm reading these comments about the video being too long....these are the real hackers out there that are hard to watch at the range. You all want some quick fix or a drill to make you better and you don't understand that the secret to the golf swing is UNDERSTANDING it. This guy is trying to help you understand what the hell is going on in the swing and its brilliant. When I learned about the braking action of the body I started hitting 150 yd 9 irons with very little effort..and I'm 58 years old. I attempt to teach golf myself and it's really frustrating how people want to golf at a high level but they don't want to learn at a high level. They're like the people who want to be great at guitar but they don't want to be bothered with scales or theory. If you don't want to learn the golf swing you might want to take up badminton or something. Thanks for the video dude. Really reinforced what I've been working on!
Chris, I see all of the comments complaining about your delivery and length of explanation. We’re in a world where we watch ‘instructional’ videos with the teacher telling the viewer not to get into the nitty gritty of the me mechanics. Personally I look for instructional videos with lengthy explanations of the technical aspects of the swing. Remember, most of these commenters would EAT up these explanations if they were done in person.
Thank you Luke! I have to continue to remind myself that there are many people just like you that want to have as much of an understanding as possible. It really does help with the entire learning process and generally the commitment level is higher from those that have everything buttoned up in their brain before taking on a new movement pattern.
Hi it looks like the bowling drill, the left arm low and swings to the left ( TMG), and along with Ben Hoogan, he also suggested to keep connection under the left armpit. Please make it clear. Thanks.
Thanks chris, being hitting my irons really well that way. Still struggling with my driver because my hand gets to active. Either im rising before contact or flipping my hands. It's hard to improve by myself just watching videos. I really think a coach in person would help ...
I offer virtual lessons on the website. Check it out. People love it and it's a good way for me to keep an eye on things. The lowest price point membership gets you 2 virtual lessons per month with me. Just throwing that out there as an option.
Chris I saw some later videos but decided to start here but I have one major issue and I get very little distance with all my clubs . I cannot straighten my lead left arm, my elbow wont let me due a a bike crash before I took up golf. I would say from straight i have about a 30 degree bend. Would this technique help me gain distance as my right arm is fine , i have also just changed to a baseball grip from interlock to try and help distance. Hope you can help I feel like giving it all up after 25 years of hacking around the course.
Hi there! This approach will definitely help you out. We've seen some pretty great golfers have a slight bend in the lead arm at impact. Obviously, I would stay clear of teaching that to students BUT in your case, since you have limitations, we would accept it and work to find your speed with videos like this one part 2 where I talk about using the trail arm for speed ua-cam.com/video/lod_hatkYcA/v-deo.html I would work on video 1 and 2 together and then really make sure you are driving the swing from the lower half. We would also want to make sure you're using all of the leverage that you can through lag and bits of ground force. Check out part 2 and give it a go and let me know if you have any further questions at all. Hope that helps.
@@MyGolfDNA Thanks Chris i have already watched 1 and 2 a few times and i am starting to get the feel and rhythm. Thankyou for spending the time to replying to me you have filled me with a new found optimism , a couple more viewings then its off to the range to see how it goes.
@MyGolfDNA had to jump in here, as I have the same elbow issues and surgery. Is the left arm responsible for finding the bottom point of the swing ? With my irons , lately, it's a lot of chunk shots, not many fat, thank you for your great lessons !
@@stevetassini2416 Correct. 3:00 is just for visual reference. If you have more momentum that pulls you past exactly 3:00, you will be just fine. Just remember to keep the tension levels down as much as possible. Hope that helps:)
Thank you, I agree with your position. But honestly, most of the best golf instructors on UA-cam Tube get to the point quickly, and then show how to do the application…about 6 minutes. Too much talking here if you don’t mind me saying so.
I am a fan of your content; I just don't jive with the delivery. Too short of an attention span on my part. Reminds me too much of some of the lectures I sat through in college. One of your videos taught me the proper way to create lag and when to release the club, increased my distance easily by 1 club to 1-1/2 clubs. I don't swing a club now without referencing those tips in my mind.
Russell Heritage suffered from talking way too much in his early videos....he addressed this in a video and he made his videos shorter. Time stamps are vital for the social media generation. I'm guilty of having a low attention span but because it's golf, I want to hear what Chris has to say. It's not for everyone. Plus the info is free. I'm not complainig.
Different strokes for different folks. I’ve seen so many swing types and people that nothing surprises me anymore. But being the master of your craft is key.
5 Hours ago you made your first unpleasant comment on this video. Now you're back with another. I apologize that you find my content not to be to your liking, boring or not satisfying your needs. There are certainly more options available to you out there and I wish you much success with your game and whoever you get your instruction from.
Timestamps in the description👇🏼. Shorter videos on desktop are over 👉🏼. Shorter videos on mobile are down👇🏼. And turning your chest through the hitting are videos can be found 👉🏼👆🏼👇🏼👍🏼🤟🏼
Ya. Fellas. Just keep beating balls. Important to ingrain your pathetic injury causing swing. You already know way more than he does so watch somebody else and lay off this dude. He’s brilliant and willing to take the time to inform the uninformed. But you just keep banging those rang balls, and attacking instructors trying to help us do this better and without injuring. I’d ask who you helped today but I know the answer. Whatever fellas. Really.
I think Chris is on point, but I hate watching his videos. Blah blah blah...get to the point please. I don't have all day. As smart as he is, I would think is he could deliver a cleaner presentation. I would certainly watch more if he cut out the fat.
Hey dude, you can totally fast forward to the meat if you’d like or go watch the ones that are putting out content based on the algorithm and time, not everyone is going to be your cup of tea.
You are right. I watched the video to completion today when I had adequate time and was in a stress-free mode. I can tell Chris puts a lot of thought and love in his presentations. I will have to remind myself in the future to calm down and relax when I watch a Chris Tyler video. Grab a cup of coffee and a yogurt and enjoy.@@patrickscribner
I could not do it. I made it about 6 minutes in and I could not take anymore. Time is too precious and valuable to waste on empty content. I guess I am going to hurt my back! I wish he could have gotten to the point without all the BS.
Hey Robert, It's pretty clear that you aren't a fan of my content or my delivery. I do appreciate the feedback and I wish you much success with your game and hope you find what you're looking for.
Well Tiger, we don't have billions to spend on Trainers, private coaches, psychologists, custom putting greens, backyard driving ranges with all the high-end monitors, or own a golf course to practice at. I am sure we can just show up to your house and get the personal instruction Charlie is getting right???? What is our alternative to very expensive and high priced lessons?..... UA-cam
@@MyGolfDNA Right now, it proper right arm structure, timing and Trust For too long I expected perfection without knowing WTF I was doing. Once every man realizes it is not about machismo and gets honest, the sobering effect kicks in. So not about power. It is about patience and perseverance and accepting you WILL FAIL. Took me 20 years of wasting my potential to realize, it comes the second we understand that effortless perfect strike once every 50 shots to show off is bad odds. Tiger did say it best, you have to accept the bad so you can learn to be better. Put in the work!! My low round this year is 65. worst was an 81.

Thank you for being a true student of the game and thank you for the support. Your words mean a lot to me really!!!
Fully agree. Let those people look elsewhere.
Fantastic drill. Thanks for being so thorough. 💪🏼
Good job explaining an effective movement pattern. Thanks
Top rated instruction my man. I cannot wait to get to work!
Great Content, easy to follow drill. The thought of moving the body fast is just wrong. Shoulders square and hands moving fast is the real golf swing.
A nice update to the old Grass Whip Drill.

it seems like chest & rib cage turn before the shoulder . I see Chris is very serious in his teaching . I like it
Totally agree.

Help! What do you mean the lead arm travels to 3 o'clock? Thanks. Steve T
Meaning the lead arm continues to move to an extended position around chest height on the lead side of the body.
@@MyGolfDNA okay. I'll study that. It seemed like you were saying 3 o'clock but extending to 12 o'clock - all the way to above your head.

And swinging the golf club safely so you're not sitting on the sidelines with a broken parts like Willy Z is also key.
yea swing the handle,great chris
Hey man, I had to shave twice before you got to your main point!
All I do is extend towards the target with my hands . Same thing
I can extend my arms in the direction of the target and leave them locked to my body. It’s kind of, a LOT different.
Kumbaya my lord Kumbaya 😂😂😂
Oh lord Kumbaya!!
Less talk more action
