This was outstanding because of its simplicity and clarity. As an ex-teacher, I'd have to give you 10 out of 10, and additionally, who has ever heard an instructor admitting to anything other than perfection in his own game? So 10 out of 10 for being a fallible human. I think we can all identify with that.
This 1 is my 1/2 hour day drill. Cures what ails ya-- over-the-top, early extension, bloating, hives, and erectile dysfunction. Chris rocks.

Hahahah
Great drill Chris for swing plane, perfect for all levels of golfers and so simple to execute. Cheers
THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GOLF TIPS I HAVE EVER SEEN! Swing path (coming from the inside) is one of the most important components of the golf swing. I have struggled for years with trying to get the feeling of how to drop my hands from the inside. This drill helped me immediately. Great tip Chris!
Truly one of the best training drills for the key to a great golf swing.
Still and probably forever one of the best lessons anyone can get to learn how to deliver the club.
Great lesson! This is critical to move down and I believe that this drill is one of the missing links to understanding and internalizing the golf swing essentials.
Very clear - should help me a lot. Really appreciate your great instructional videos.
Thanks Joe
I was someone who came off the wall and was super steep and over the top constantly cutting across the ball hitting super high delofted fades along with tops and chunks, I worked on this drill against my house with an old driver shaft , did it off and on for a couple hours and then went to the range , and flushed the ball shot after shot, chris had a magical phrase in this video that just worked for me, and that phase is "THE LEAD SHOULDER GOES DOWN AND AROUND" and this feel in combination with upward extension is money. thanks Chris
Absolutely perfect. I've been trying to teach this method for years to golfers who get stuck/push/hook. Great image.
brilliant drill. not only for a great downswing feeling but also to achieve a decent top of backswing position. my golf instantly improved after a few days working on this
Omg amazing. All my days to figure out that transition to inside. Thanks
best drill ive seen so far,tried it today,makes sense and not complicated,thanks
Wow, golf is fun again, after ages of frustration I have just used this swing thought in the range, apart from shots going a tad left, got superb ball flight.
Thanks so much for sharing this idea.
Well done!,...excellent drill to avoid early extension.
Thanks Chris
Hej
Stefan Granström ciao be
Great one Chris. You've won me as a subscriber. Tried the drill and it feels so easy. Wrist hinge, place club on top of the backswing, drag the club head down the wall and hold on to the wrist set while the hips fire away. I do have the occasional slice when I don't transfer my weight though but this happens when there's something new I active,y think about in my swing. Takes repetitions I guess.
just saw this video Chris. Went to the range right after watching the Farmers Open. Wow!!! I hit my irons the same way. CRUSHED the ball with both driver and irons. I have always had different swings as per the club used.. Not now. The thing I need to work on now is "low to high" When I do both the ball flys.
I'm crediting this video, along with the ones about the lead knee starting the downswing, with massively improving my ball striking. It was improving with getting the lead knee across, but my lead shoulder was coming up too fast, which this video has helped with. I was hitting it better than I have in ages today, great work Chris, love the videos!
Thanks Phil glad they have helped you. Appreciate your comments.
Hey Phil. Wondering if there's a video that you like that shows "the lead knee starting the downswing"? I like what you have said so i'd like to try it. Many thanks
Awesome lesson! You explain very well one of the most critical things of the downswing.
Helps me a lot!
You just got yourself af new fan, Chris. I've been trying it out on the driving range today and this is really a big step for a person like me who have only played for 40 years ...
Love this video. I think the drill can even be enhanced by, at the transition, *increasing* the pressure of the stick into the wall/shutter.
Great video about one of the most important parts of the downswing. It looked a great drill with the line up stick against the wall. It is vital to hit the ball front the inside of your downswing. This exercise I will use and practice until it becomes first nature in my downswing. Keep these great and informative videos coming. Charles
Still one of the best transition drills I’ve ever seen. Bravo 👏
One of the best feel drills ever Chris!
Great looking drill, going to give this a go to help flatten my over-the-top downswing.
chris... not bad at all... !
such a different approach ... and yet the swing looks a lot like what bradley hughes is teaching...
... but so much simpler to explain...
more than 90% of mid and high handicappers come across the line... this drill should help a lot of them...
thx a bunch
prob the best drill Iv ever seen to explain the downswing,(something I'v have problems with) Big thanks!!!
This is a major key to the swing, helped me immensely..,
Watched this many times over the last week and its a very deep video if you try and really digest what is going on with the "good" and "bad" moves. The thing that stands out to me is that in the correct move his head drops below the starting point...almost as if he dips just slightly to allow the stick to ride down the wall. Is it just me or do you see that as well? 4:43...Down & Around
Yes his head does dip below the original point. But this is quite common among good golfers and many, many touring pros do this. Most all of them return their head to almost the same spot as the beginning at impact. It's not a fault. The old 'keep your head still' is incorrect. 'Steady head' is really this goal here.
Great drill!
Hey Good solid tips about keeping the head moving forward and down. Thanks for the demonstration.
Thanks Trevir
This is such a good drill, and fantastic explanation of what to do - and more importantly not do. Really liking this channel!
Great easy to follow drill thanks Chris!
This was great. The slow motion is really really helpful.
Chris thank you I hook the ball and was looking for a drill to correct it. thank you for the swing tip I think was what I'm looking for.
Great drill can’t wait to give this a go. Thanks Chris.
Just saw this and it really helps. Saw a comment saying you talked too much. Completely disagree. Your commentary is a huge part of getting the viewers to fully understand what you are trying to get across.
Thanks Mark appreciate that 👍
Great drill Chris. I really have issues with getting steep on the downswing. Would you say this is more beneficial than hitting balls?
just tried it. Great drill! I have an issue with hitting outside in and this will eliminate that problem with practice.
Very good process Chris to prevent some outside to in swing types too.
Chris , your an excellent instructor and this is an excellent lesson. Why not update for a new audience........this is really for the longer clubs up to driver. Do another one of 5 make it a series. Thank you !!! Teach your students to belly breathe.....easy. When a golfer chest breathes it tightens the shoulders and upper body. All bad things come after that.
Best drills to confirm instruction on the internet!
Great drill, 100% agree
Such a great drill this is perfect for me to use can't wait to get home and practice
Best drill ever hesrd!!! Bravooii
Your presentation skills are extremely good.
Fantastic drill Chris!!
Cracking drill, giving a clear idea of what I should be doing
Chris , great exercise which will help tremendously 👍🏻
Looks great. I can't wait to try this drill
Holy crap! That work perfectly!
I have to try this drill. I think this is brilliant. This is not the easiest thing to fix, will try and see if this fixes my steepness at impact.
Sweet drill! Thanks! Great visual!
The last swing from the first camera angle is a beautyyyyy
This drill worked so great !my swing is so much better just after spending 30 minutes!Thank you
Hi Chris, Thanks again for a great drill. My 2 off shots are a Push or a duck hook. I feel my left arms are coming off my chest and get steep. I'm guessing this drill will help. Or is there another or better drill for this. Thanks Steve
brilliant drill. great advice as always!
this guy is actually good and doesn't mislead you by not leaving information out!
Best tip yet for me this Chris this is something I can do at home to Cheers, does it work for the Driver too?
Chris.....great drill......and I have already tried it at home with off the course feeling being different....but.....question related to the lead shoulder......you suggest that the motion of the lead shoulder is ".....down and around....." Could you possibly elaborate? I have seen what you are doing. I have never heard of the "down" part before......this almost seems to give a moment's pause in the tendancy to start unwinding the shoulders. I have tried drills before (with a rope for example) to get me to pause/delay my shoulder unwinding at the top but somewhat unsuccessfully. My "hit impulse" seems to take over when I get to the golf course. Would appreciate your comments on this or referral to a different video of yours.....really like you teaching style.
never seen any downswing drill against the wall. awsome creative.
Hi chris , thanks for the vids and instruction first of all I have to ask and maybe its the camera angle .... but it almost looks like you are dipping downward to lower the shaft , what I am struggling horrible with off and on and getting more frequent is a shank and was wondering if the casting can become so bad that centrifugal force is forcing the hozel towards the ball and making contact or can casting cause force to pull yer hips towards the ball instead of rotating or down the line ? driving is great ,,,,,,,, irons need thrown away ,,,,,,,,, ive honestly hit more houses recently than greens
That's a great drill 👍
Wow! What an easy drill to get the correct feel for a cure for over the top.
great videos! This is a great drill.
Very good swing and good swing
That was great thank you, I have that exact problem but I wont anymore
Thanks for that great and easy drill to get a better downswing path! I think yours looks very good :) Harald
Hello, it is an amazing drill!!! I still have a question, in reality, is a must that club shaft crosses the righ bicep?
This drill makes perfect sense.Nice post Chris; how do I book a series of lessons with you?
This may be the cure for me coming over the top... great video.
Great video definitely going to try this
Thanks Harry
An excellent drill with no mention of buzzwords like 'lag' or 'power drill' Back to basics coaching at its best.
+Steve Thomas or centrpicle force , whatever it is....
wow !!! what a great explanation.
Thanks for this... I have been practicing keeping the club from dropping inside for so long that I went too far the other way. I never thought I would have that problem lol
This is a major help
Superb drill
Fantastic! Thanks for such a simple and effective method! Can't wait to try this.
Really really thanks !!!
Very good tip excellent
I am a 5 handicap and have a flat swing (always have had a flat swing since I was 8). I find that when I do my backswing I hit the wall with the rod. I figured I would try this and add it to my closet of drills.
It's a good drill, and it gets at one of the least-talked-about aspects of almost any great swing: the shoulders stay closed a long way into the downswing, with some players right up until just before impact. People who work on half-cocked ideas about "rotation" and "swinging left" just destroy their swings when they try to dominate the ball with early rotation in the downswing.
It helps to think of the shoulders as moving only enough to accommodate where the arms need to go, rather than dragging the arms to impact outward, on a steep-and-outside path, like so many players do.
What I always found in both teaching and playing was that this is so important and so irretrievable once you make that initial out-and-over move. Once a player does that, it's all just a salvage job from that point on. Either you hang on and try to block the ball to the target (which requires other adjustments like a dive or a lunge, because if you really hang on and don't move something else to compensate you'll miss the ball entirely), or you throw the hands and clubhead at the ball early and hit it a mile left.
Nobody wants to hear this in "modern" instruction, but the truth is that the shoulders have to stay turned in a way that allows the arms and club to find the right inside path to the ball. Trying to dominate the ball with shoulders and forced, shoving rotation is the surest way to destroy a swinging motion.
THIS WAS AN INSTANT FIX FOR ME TO COME FROM THE INSIDE WHICH MY TEACHER HAS FAILED MAKE ME LEARN IN 5 LESSONS.
Are you extending right elbow to keep stick on wall while turning body thru the swing?
super vid chris
Good drill , I will try
Ty
are you dropping the arms or just rotating the body and leaving the arms up in the backswing position?
Excellent drill....but in an actual swing...would the downswing be ideally a bit more shallow than the wall allows? certainly with driver/wood? I appreciate that this is just a drill.
Great video
this is a completely different feel...i can really see the in to out path..off to the range with this one.
great visual
Well done excellent drill, do you book lessons?
This is real good.
A very helpful lesson, but what did you mean that you personally “steepen” the club at the top?
Excellent drill, my mid irons are not consistent.
I teach people to feel like they are throwing the club away from the target. This drill is much better for actually providing a tangible feeling to that idea.
Can you explain how to make sure your not pulling down on the handle from the top and using your body to get the club into position? Thx
Mark Wisniewski One thing that has helped me is let the arms fall at the top. Most of us over-the-top swingers are using are upper body a bit too much. I tend to tense up, but if you loosen up and let it fall and delay arms in the downswing, it helps.
Setting up wrist angles for the downswing too. Left wrist flexion combined with left wrist ulnar.
Nice video
Is your right arm supposed to stay stuck on your side? The reason I ask is because when you're doing this drill you're putting impetus I'm keeping your right elbow stuck to your torso. Is this something that you want to practice or is this just a byproduct of practice? Please explain as what you are showing is rather confusing regarding the right elbow stuck to the Torso. Thank you
