- Chris Ryan shows you how to shallow the club shaft with your driver.
Many golfers struggle with a club shaft that is too steep during the downswing, but this exercise and drill can help you remove the steep shaft from your golf swing and this can often lead to more distance and better golf shots on the course.

Such a concise and easy to learn method of shallowing the club, something that I have being doing completely wrong up until now.
Thank you Chris.
The lack of unnecessary chat is great here. Just great, technical information. Thank you
I’ve had golf teachers who are really good, including one consistently named one of the top 100 by Golf Magazine. But, no one has helped my game more than Chris.
In 6 minutes you just summed up my endless struggle and, more importantly, how to simply fix it! Well done - Thank you!!
This is one of the more informative videos on shallowing. I love it.
i guess I'm kind of off topic but does anybody know a good website to stream newly released series online ?
"That's why I'm in RUclips and not in the PGA Tour" Lol, you just got a subscriber. Great way of explaining the shallowing of the club. Thanks!
Thanks Ivan, glad you enjoyed the video 👍👍
Xlnt tutorial- I cant wait to put into practice
I subscribed for that comment as well. Love it.
Great comment Ivan. I've played with many fine players, some of them have a plus rating, and if I play enough times at my 7--9 handicap, I will get lucky once at least once a year or over my lifetime I imagine, and beat them over 9 holes or even 18 even up. That would never happen with a tour player. Chris is a tremendous player I'm sure, but the EU tour or PGA Tour equates to about the best 300 players on this planet. There are another 10K players on some kind of tour, mini tour etc...that are just a step behind etc... As far as instruction, I'd put Chris in the Rolex league myself. Just plain awesome instruction.
You’re definitely one of the most modest instructors I’ve seen, and I watch plenty of instruction videos. Thanks for the tips and explanation, Chris!
Thanks Henry appreciate it 👍👍
"It's why I'm on RUclips and not on the PGA Tour." Funny line.
For the first time ever (I've been playing 20 years), a pro at my club has pointed out the need for me to sort this out in my swing. I had always wondered about this move. Very useful video. Thank you.
I haven’t seen this explained better anywhere else! I’m excited to go out today and practice this move.
This is my biggest issue. Thank you for explaining it and coming up with a helpful drill!
This video has really helped my drives, so well explained, thank you Chris
Thanks Chris, a really easy to understand explanation of an issue that when I occasionally get it right makes a huge difference to my game.
Thanks Martin 👍
Thank you again. Great video. This is a valuable video to get a shallow shaft. RUclips is full of videos instructing you to drop the shaft and i used to get to far behind me and get stuck or force me to stand up, not a pretty shot. Lost a lot of balls. Can't wait to try this on range. I love this youtube channel.
Chris this is a wonderful explanation of how to correct (me) a back swing that is too steep. I love the drill and will try this out. I tried to correct my steep swing by taking the club back on a more level path but this often resulted in getting stuck in the backswing. Thanks again.
I've got this video bookmarked. I'll be coming back again and again, before and after my range sessions. Well done, thank you.
I’ve watched tons of videos this is the first on the hands as I have been turning my left wrist , great explanation on cause and effect ! Thx!
Just found this vlog.wow it makes so much sense, looking forward to a range session trying this out 👍👍
This is a good explanation. I have been working on this lately.
Another great tip Ryan thanks easily the best tutorials on you tube
Makes so much sense. Seems to be the missing link for me in the downswing. Cant wait to try that drill on the range. Thanks.
Best drill I've seen for this so far.
Best instructional content on RUclips right now 👌
Thanks 👍👍
Over time I’ve stumbled into this move and it seems to be a good one. Great to see your video that explains it so I understand it better. Thanks
Interesting take on how to shallow the club thank you!
This is exactly what my last lesson was about. An excellent aide memoir for me. Thanks for posting . As ever, great advice, so well explained.
Thanks Steve 👍
Thanks Chris! I have a tournament today and found your videos this weekend. I’m now a new follower and feel more confident getting ready for the day!
Great video on flattening out the golf swing. I liked that you broke the swing down into four steps and can still finish the swing but hitting the ball. Nice work.
Thanks 👍👍
This is fantastic instructions on the subject, it has changed my driving and irons game dramatically. Many thanks, Chris!!!
Great video , can’t thank you enough , Always used to hit a high bombing draw with the driver as my natural shot but like all amateur golfers I took the advice of the Sunday 14 handicap who knows everything lol 😂 He said I was swinging the club too much around my body to be consistently good when in fact I was just shallowing the path not intensionally but as my natural swing path , Tried getting more upright or steep and disaster , high miles to the right and short drivers destroyed my game and confidence , could not find that natural feeling again and my handicap went from a solid 7 to an absolute hacker in no time . You have no idea how much this drill has helped me rediscover the feeling and smile as that big bombing draw goes 35 yards past my mates again lol 😂
That’s interesting as a beginner I also hit a natural draw with my driver. I would find a lot of my friends would comment on that and I didn’t even realize what was so special. Of course as I “learned” to golf my swing started to steepen and now here I am trying to learn how to hit a draw with driver again 🤣
Explained very well. Great video
Hi Chris. Can you please do a bunker series? Start with basics, soft sand vs hard sand, plugged balls, upwards, downwards or angle lies, etc. basically covering all scenarios in a greenside bunker
Rgrds
Here, 5 yrs late. But happy I was here. Great tips. It worked for me.
Great video as always mate, I'd like to see more videos on the course from tee to green exploring shot types and execution 👍
Thanks Leigh, did look into doing an on course series, so may re address this 👍
the best explanation of how to shallow the club
Beautifully explained Chris, as usual
Thanks Gordon 👍👍
Fantastic, charismatic teacher ❤❤❤
Excellent video Chris....I have battled over the top my whole life.
Thanks Chris great Vid. I would love to see what an ideal 1-hr practice session looks like from your perspective. Thanks
Great video Chris hope this move helps me
Great video, exactly what I have been working on with the pro at my club. Nice to see it explained in another, simplistic way that is useful.
Thanks and hope it helps 👍👍
Excellent instruction
At some point I'll get time to go down the range and practice these great tips. Love the channel Chris. You deliver really well.
Thanks 👍👍
Like how you explained what happens when you shallow with your arms instead of your wrist and hands. Something many just rush through when explaining.
Killer tip! Can’t wait to try this at the range.
Wow! Great explanation Chris! I’ve abandoned my driver due to being too steep and a horrid push slice. Thanks for a the drill; seems like a simple explanation. I hope it works for me!
Thanks you, Mr. Ryan.
Very well done sir. A perfect foil to the "over the toppers".
Awesome Video Chris!
Always great stuff...might want to do some equipment stuff, clubs, balls, gloves? Although your instruction is rock solid!
Crystal clear tuition as per, Chris.
Thanks Colin 👍
Excellent video Thankyou Your videos have really helped my game
Great lesson, thank you! Does this wrist/shallowing move apply to every club or driver only? For me, I tend to make a slight descending blow with driver so this drill is particularly helpful with this specific club. Cheers!
I was working on it by myself on the range before I saw this video. I was thinking about trying to tuck my right elbow into my right-hand side on the downswing. But I'll certainly try this.
I went to the range today and was dropping my elbows to try and mimic the pros because I thought that when you drop your elbows it forces an in to out swing but what was happening was i was skying the ball more than usual. Nice video. I'll try and implement this at the range
Great video Chris. Love the simple approach and clear explanation
Thanks 👍
Thanks 👍
Never knew what swallowing or steepening was. I love how your videos explain techniques
Really like the way you explain the motions. RUclips is always taught in 2D, which makes for a lot of misunderstandings and regression. Important that you mentioned shallowing while turning and demonstrated that, as well as proper club path. Much easier to visualize. I'd like to see some instruction on the left arm/elbow motion and follow through. As someone who occasionally has a bad day of pull-hooks, I think this is where my problems are worst. Especially when my right elbow is painful.
Great explanation and cheers!
great drill, right on, perfect for the problem I have
Great video Chris..really enjoyed that. Just wondering if you have any drills to get the back swing fully back. I seem to stop about half to 3/4 way..thanks..really appreciate the help!
Great explanation and drill!
I had checked out a few other shallow the club videos but no result. Yours is the only one works for me. thank you
question: can this apply to iron?
Very well done. Unsure if you’ve played around with the Plane Mate because this creates a similar move. Interested in your opinion on the product if you’ve checked it out.
I wanted to thank you for the work and others like you do. This video in particular showed immediate benefit for me. It helped with consistency with all my longer clubs (tempo maybe?) and if I can get the feeling grooved, i think it'll eliminate the right side for me. I also notice that my contact is better when using this drill.
Awesome and great to hear 👍
Hello Chris and thanks for all you are doing / trying to do to help us golfers, since I have stumbled upon your work I can't seem to get enough, but I do see a difference between the way you suggested to shallow out the driver and the way you suggested we shallow out the irons in an earlier video, please clarify for me are both done the same or is there a difference. I did hear you say at the end of the video on shallowing out the driver video that it would be the same for the irons please help me understand are they the same or is there a difference
Wish I'd seen this instruction in August. The incorrect swing is an exact replica of my driver swing plane. Thanks Chris.
Tried it on the course yesterday, no pre driving range trial. Instant success.
Fair play this is an amazing video. Well done on clarifying this issue. I was working on dropping club behind me and hearing this video it’s not what I need to be doing. Thank you!
Another quality video, keep them coming
Thanks Steve 👍
Sparked an aha moment. Within the last couple of years of trying out clubs, two pro's told me that I have a steep downswing but in the end I correct to hit the ball well. I had a Zepp 2 device lying around and took some swings using the driver with it on last night. Gheeeez. The club plane was averaging about 25 degrees positive. Watched some videos but they seemed to point towards keeping the right elbow in or dropping the arms behind me and that wasn't helping me at all. The clubhead/plane was still too steep. Watching your video I am pretty darn sure I move my forearm or wrist in such a way as to create the steep clubhead. Looking forward to getting home to practice your technique tonight. I imagine this would also apply to irons as well?
Great Video Chris. This is exact my problem. I will try it as soon as possible on the driving range.
Thanks Rudolf 👍
What an excellent tip.
final piece of the jigsaw has been solved. thanks a million. i now understand how to shallow the club face
This is a great drill to bring back the arms in the slot position, one of my problem, thanks.
More great advice, you are making such good content and I have being putting your tips to good use to help improve my game. Thank you.
Thanks for the comments 👍👍
Very well explained thanks!!
Thanks for the insight Chris , enjoy and learn from your videos. I was a 12 cap didn't play for a few years , back at it. After my wife taking a video of my swing in Hawaii last year , thought I was going to die it was absolutely horrible. I guess at 53 by body has tightened up. So after some work I have changed a lot in my swing biggest part, follow through , shallowing the club transition ect. When I drop the club inside ( my driver ) I seem to be hitting down on the ball , causing a very low ball flight , goes a good distance. Any tips on what causes this.
Thank you very much. Nicely explained
I gave this drill a try and it looks very promising. Will practice more on the range with irons and then driver 👍🏌️♂️😀
i find this move very very helpfull
"that's why I'm on RUclips and not PGA tour.." . Classic. But do take comfort I watch your channel more than the PGA channel...
This is exactly what me and my coach have been working on but I feel at speed I can’t shallow the club (with the driver) I feel I can do it with irons as I let the weight of the head pull the club down! I’ve resorted to putting the ball way forward in my stance (driver) and slowing my swing down. I feel Iv got loads more power that I can’t use resulting in less distance. Have u any drills that I can try to get the driver moving in to out or maybe bumping the hips forward first would help me to stop getting that shaft steep. (If that makes sense) lol
Thanks Chris keep the videos coming my golf is getting ALOT better from watching YOUR videos.
Well explained video Chris. Can you also do something on weight shift in the down stroke?
Thanks Trevor, and yes will look to do something on this soon 👍👍
Thanks Chris. I'm steep in transition but then get "stuck under and behind" (thus need to early extend and have an upright shaft impact position) resulting in a delivery position pointing way to the right leading to either straight pushes, or I flip at it to try to rescue it leading to a hook. All the talk on RUclips about shallowing the shaft to get the CoM way behind me etc makes sense but is confusing to me (as I've been told I'm "stuck" way behind and under) and now I don't know what to do :( I'm already steep then stuck under and behind. I'm desperate to find a way out of this position and my golf game has completely stagnated and plateau'd. I'd really appreciate your comments.
Great and well explained video, thanks.
Thanks 👍
As always great content on your channel Chris
Thanks Nic 👍👍
Immediately added to "Saved Videos." 👍 👍 👍
Thanks Joe hope it helps 👍👍
This worked great for my swing! Better strikes for sure. I noticed much higher ball flight. Maybe even too high... Thoughts on that? Thank You Chris!
Thank you so much. Any drill for keeping my head still or not going fwd with left knee on takeaway? I can’t fix it. Ugh.
great tuition as always, How about demonstrating the Gary player step through drill ? thank you.
Hi Chris, big fan. Question: when I think about pushing club head “down and behind me” I get the sense that I’m straightening out the wrist. If that’s the case then I’m going have an early release and not have the proper wrist hinge to strike the ball. Am I thinking about this properly? Explanation would be super helpful. Thanks!
Thanks Chris, will give this a go!
Thanks Simon 👍
Now everyone are making a "SHALLOW" swing on YT. Just go and hit as many balls. Perfect practice makes perfect!!!!!
I'm a caster, loved the video.
Thanks Chris I've tried that drill using 2 clubs too.
I really appreciate all the technical drills. On the driving range I stripe the balls, mostly. I get on the course and I'm thinking too much. Any tips on how not to think about the swing in comp?
Hi Chris, can you comment on tee height and distance from the ball in terms of how they might affect a flatter plane?
Hey chris! I'm a 7 handicapper with a pretty steep downswing. Csn I send u a video and mayne you can review it? You can even use it for a video if you would like
Off to th rang tomorrow and try this drill 🙏
Thanks Chris, this has reinforced something my Pro is telling me.
Thanks Dara 👍👍
Chris, so many good videos ..as I've said before .. big improvements this passed summer's ends because of them! I also get steep in the downswing but I seem to lose power when I try to shallow the club or when I try to get my trail elbow in front of my trail hand on the way in the downswing. Something to consider, in my case, I have shorter upper arms than most. My son says I have T-Rex arms .. 1/3 upper 2/3 lower :-) .. Would this naturally reduce the amount of "shallowing" that I can perform. Too many Welsh and Irish coal miners in my genetic linage. :-)
