    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.

    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!

    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.

    @jeremymowers5798 5 років тому

    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

    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.

  • @runegodly34
    @runegodly34 8 років тому

    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.

  • @foleyman31
    @foleyman31 7 років тому

    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.

  • @PB-wj8eg
    @PB-wj8eg 8 років тому +1

    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!

  • @RickVonSloneker
    @RickVonSloneker 4 роки тому

    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.

  • @charlesharrison6291
    @charlesharrison6291 7 років тому

    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.

    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

  • @billyc8121
    @billyc8121 6 років тому +1

    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

    • @thevinsk
      @thevinsk 5 років тому

      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.

    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.

  • @vanceweber4094
    @vanceweber4094 7 років тому

    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.

  • @724riff
    @724riff 8 років тому

    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

    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.

  • @emncaity
    @emncaity 7 років тому

    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.

      @starlitshadows 7 років тому +1

      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.

    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
