Chris, I noticed on one of your earliest videos where you covered the Trail Arm / Trail Shoulder in the Transition move it really helps support the correct movement of the trail arm into the Delivery position. I hadn’t realised just how important it was maintain the external rotation of the trail shoulder into the downswing by moving / pivoting the trail shoulder down in concert with the trail elbow (losing the arm wrestle), as you move into P6 last parallel. I’m still a little unsure how the brain knows where is the correct delivery position (further away than hands at set up).
Certainly changes my understanding of "swing out to the right." For years I have had a hand path too much inside on the takeaway and too far outside after delivery trying to swing out to the right. As usual, well explained and will let it screw up my swing this afternoon!
I cant wait to try this Chris. ive been struggling with ball striking etc and now i see my hands were moving to close to my body on the downswing. thank you for this video.
Awesome tku. I had most things going ok. My back swing was great but my right elbow was too close to my body on the downward move. Heaps better now. Tku Chas
Love this 3 exercise! Especially the last 1 hands aligned with the rod! I tend to leave my hands close to my body in the downswing. This is for driver and fairway woods too correct? And thank you so so so much for all the free content! You are great!
I agree - hands over right thigh at delivery position is key, I'm a +1 handicap but my hands are always outside the right thigh at P6. I feel like I'm going to hit it out to the right from the correct delivery position. Perhaps I'm not supinating my lead forearm from delivery position to impact to square up the face?
I have been working on this delivery position since I saw Peter Cowen's videos on it and I find the untalked about part is turning down the right wrist at impact while maintaining the power hinge. It took me a while to get the feel of it but once I started incorporating the delivery position of the right arm, the rotation through the ball, and the turning down of the wirst to square the clubface it all clicked for me.
Very good info Chris, thanks!! Should the club head be behind your hands as you come into impact? I seem to remember this from a prior training I've heard. This would be another help to keeping hands away from your body. Thanks.
Yep that would be a great checkpoint, not essential but that reference will give you a pretty neutral path or slightly in to out which for most is ideal
I’ll have to try this! I have a problem with bringing my hands to much to the inside (trying to get that in to out swing path) and causing me to hit off the toe! I’m aware I’m doing it but I try not o do a swing change on course but it sure gets frustrating at times!
Does this work for the driver? I have tried this with my irons and it really works well, but I am struggling with the driver. I will say that I don't feel right at the top with the driver and then struggle with the downswing from there, meaning I can't get the hands back to the delivery position.
Ive tried the concept of the trail elbow, but was obviously too close to my body. This video explains why it didn't work. Great video. Bet the driving range staff love you nicking their balls and tee's.
Cant believe you ended the twin view just before showing the most important part of showing how through impact the hands pull inward when you cant see it happening from face on.

Thanks Tom hope it helps, can cause a lot of issues if they are too close

Yep exactly the same for thr longer clubs and driver etc, glad it’s helped
Great drill! I tried it, then went to the course. I was a club and a half longer with irons, 20 yards with driver.
Wow! Huge improvement , glad it helped
Can you go into more detail what it means when "the hands are too close"? Or do you have another video describing that? Thanks!
Great homemade training aid with the sweat band and tee! Thanks Chris!!!
Thanks Tony, it’s cheap too, just always nice to have a visual reference during practice I find

Great video Chris ! 😀

Brilliant, well done Chris and thank you 👍

Sounds very much like this will help then, let me know how you get on
The hands away from the body feeling helped me instantly !
Awesome Kevin, love hearing that, glad it helped
Great lesson tips
Brilliant 🎉!

Well done Chris 👏
Thanks Roy
Amazing ⛳
I have a swing thought of hitting ball on toe of club, which seems to make my hands go around the corner
Perfect, feelings and concepts are much easier to play with, so if that feel creates the right move then ideal
Mega Video, thx you
My pleasure 🙏🏻
At 2:55 the "THRE STAGE" process
Ive tried the concept of the trail elbow, but was obviously too close to my body. This video explains why it didn't work. Great video. Bet the driving range staff love you nicking their balls and tee's.
THRE STAGE PROCESS
Better than a fou or a fiv stage process.
🤣it’s similar to a three stage process but my own version
Typos drive engagement

Someone needs to learn how to spell three 😂😂
🤣 we do these on purpose just to check who is paying attention 🤣
Great video Chris. Thank you.
Thanks Marcus
