Thank you for subbing to the channel and being a part of the DNA revolution. I appreciate each of you very much so. Please let me know if you have any questions or need any assistance with your game at any point along the way.
Thank YOU so much for taking time to say such kind words. Students of the game like you are what drive me to be the best instructor I can be for you and others that love this game like I do.
Regally found this video extremely beneficial as I seemed to have lost my way recently. This is very good instruction, patiently explained and demonstrated. Thank you.
@@MyGolfDNA you are very welcome. I have an ambition to get down to 4 and then turn professional before I reach 50. 13 months to achieve this and will be using your content to assist me in my journey. Keep up the great work, I’m glad I stumbled upon your channel. 👍
Any athletic endeavor that’s done efficiently requires that power comes from the core area of the body. It keeps us balanced and helps the bigger muscles be the engine for the smaller ones. And it just feels better and easier on the body. Great job
Another great series of videos. Your check points are key. I have a tendency to get my hands too inside on the backswing. I notice this when I hit fades on the driving range. My swing hitting a fade seems to have much more room on the downswing than my stock draw. Using your checkpoints I see where I'm going marginally more inside on my stock shots. When that gets exaggerated or when fatigue sets in, that can lead to some unpleasant hosel interaction. Going back to work through the process.
Super important message for a lot of other students to learn from…having the awareness of fatigue is not something a lot of people come to grips with or identify soon enough. Kudos to you for being aware of it and thanks for the kind words and support. Very much appreciate you.
Absolutely! Check out MyGolfDNA.com and you’ll see that I offer online based instruction and you choose the plan that you will think is best for you. I would start out with the lowest plan, do the consult with me and then we can figure out what you would need from there. Let me know if you have any questions beforehand and lll gladly assist you.
Hi Chris, I’m a new subscriber and am enjoying your lessons. I have struggled with good contact /compression for too long and can see that these lessons are what I need to get better. Before I get too far into the process is there an order of watching and working on the lessons you would recommend? Thanks in advance!!
Hi Kevin, thank you for subscribing to the channel and being a part of the MyGolfDNA family. This is a very tricky question to say the least because everyone is very different what pathway I might suggest for you, would be vastly different than anyone else standing behind you. If you’re brand new to the game…I would suggest that you start with setup and grip videos that I have on the channel as well and then work on the ball striking series. If you’ve played for a while, the best thing I can tell you to do, if your unsure of the best pathway for you, is to come over to the website and sign up for our baseline membership. You can go through the consult phase with me where you and I will look at your golf swings closely together and set reasonable goals and expectations and layout the plan of attack that’s specific to YOU. Under no circumstance is that a sales pitch. That is more just the reality of how any and all students should approach getting better at this game. Please let me know if you have any questions at all and I’ll gladly assist you.
@@MyGolfDNA Thanks for the reply. At this point I will focus on the impact videos and drills. I have never done lessons via the internet but will keep you in mind. I’m glad I found your videos, very well done.
My pleasure Kevin. Best advice for you is to make sure you turn ANY and ALL new positions into movement and be disciplined in the process. Don't allow for any negative results to distract you in the process. Pick one or two things to focus on and work to become a master of those movements through repetitions. Make sure you introduce the golf ball back to the mix early on in the process OR you'll just have nice looking practice swing and a crazy golf ball swing. Most importantly, enjoy the process of change. It's not fun or glamorous, it's hard work. The payoff at the end is what its all about. Good luck and let me know if you need any further assistance at all. - Ct
Should the head and upper body stay in basically the same position in relation to the ball or is it o k that they shift forward when sitting into the lead leg starting the downswing?
You should allow the head to move back into its original position if not slightly in front of where it started at address. Weight shift needs to start the downswing. Hope that helps.
There are some pretty big differences with pitching and chipping but most of that is handled at setup. Stay tuned, we have stuff coming out on this both on the website and here.
Sure you can. Keep the hips working in the downswing is the best solution. Preset the desired impact position and then make small swings working to to get back to that place. As you get better with the movements, ramp up the length and speed of the swing. Hope that helps.
7 or 8 iron is a great place to start. You can do these drills with any club really. But starting with shorter clubs means less speed which can mean higher quality movements.
That is correct. When you start picking up the pace, you’ll feel a little more separation in the 2 movements with the sit initiating the start of the downswing as the arms reach the top of the backswing.
The downcock will happen when you start changing the direction of the swing dynamically. It's subtle amounts on camera BUT with hackmotion on, it shows a substantial change in wrist dexterity.
@@MyGolfDNA thanks for the reply. So as we pressure shift and lower arms, we are also completing an ulnar deviation of the wrists, and a bowing of the left wrist correct? Wondering how you keep club head up and behind you with an ulnar deviation.
My pleasure. No on the ulnar deviation question. You should be in radial at the top of the swing and you should be maintaining what you can. The wrist will move more towards flexion and the radial deviation can slightly decrease as result.
Depends on your lifestyle really. If you have a lot of time in your day, then shoot for 150 reps a session. Give yourself a days break after 2 consecutive sessions if you need it. 7-12 days of concentrated reps should get a good foundations laid down to build on. Make sure the reps are consistent and back check them with a camera for accuracy.

Chris thank you so much. You changed completely my golf swift positively. One of the best coaches i have ever seen so far. 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

wow, this is really, really useful stuff - thanks!
Regally found this video extremely beneficial as I seemed to have lost my way recently. This is very good instruction, patiently explained and demonstrated. Thank you.
Sometimes you have to strip the swing down and get back to the basics to get things back on track. Thank you for the comments.
Video 1 is key. I used the drills and shot a 74 off a 9 handicap first time out. Best instructor I have found, digitally or real life period.
That is golfing your ball good sir. Thank you for sharing and thank you for the kindest and most humbling comment a golf instructor could ever hear.

BINGO! Thank you for the comment and hope you join me for more in the future:)
Top instructor of the line!
Thank you so much!!!
Great instruction Chris. Will practice this right away. I like the way you instrut that we need to get these multiple reps on prior to the full swing.
Thank you for the kind words and good luck with your reps. Let me know if you need any help along the way.
Very helpful
My passion is to help and simple comments like this go a LONG ways:)

Great Advice drill tips
Really like this thanks
Excellent video.
Thank you very much!
Chris, is there anyway You can teach me online or correct further my swing online? Thank you

Justin Rose does a pre-shot drill (or used to) that looks a lot like sit and drop. Is that your recollection also, or am I off base here?
Very similar sort of move for sure.

You should allow the head to move back into its original position if not slightly in front of where it started at address. Weight shift needs to start the downswing. Hope that helps.
Love the videos Chris. Does this apply with your driver as well?
You can certainly do these drills with the driver. Just make sure you stay focused on the body movements first. They are paramount!!!
Do the same basic mechanics apply to chipping and pitching?
There are some pretty big differences with pitching and chipping but most of that is handled at setup. Stay tuned, we have stuff coming out on this both on the website and here.
Can you apply this to woods and driver? How can I make my lead leg fully extent before making the contact? thank you!
Sure you can. Keep the hips working in the downswing is the best solution. Preset the desired impact position and then make small swings working to to get back to that place. As you get better with the movements, ramp up the length and speed of the swing. Hope that helps.
Thank you so much!@@MyGolfDNA
@@brandonchi8526 My pleasure.
one more question; what’s the best club to get comfortable with this method, 7 iron, 8 iron, PW, or…?
7 or 8 iron is a great place to start. You can do these drills with any club really. But starting with shorter clubs means less speed which can mean higher quality movements.
@@MyGolfDNA Ok got it, thanks Chris! 👍
Chris, just to confirm, the arms dropping and the weight sitting down on the left foot occur simultaneously as a blended movement? Thanks!
That is correct. When you start picking up the pace, you’ll feel a little more separation in the 2 movements with the sit initiating the start of the downswing as the arms reach the top of the backswing.
@@MyGolfDNA thanks!
So no downginge from the top of backswing, instead we are lowering arms passively while weight shifting, and keeping wrist structure?
The downcock will happen when you start changing the direction of the swing dynamically. It's subtle amounts on camera BUT with hackmotion on, it shows a substantial change in wrist dexterity.
@@MyGolfDNA thanks for the reply. So as we pressure shift and lower arms, we are also completing an ulnar deviation of the wrists, and a bowing of the left wrist correct? Wondering how you keep club head up and behind you with an ulnar deviation.
My pleasure. No on the ulnar deviation question. You should be in radial at the top of the swing and you should be maintaining what you can. The wrist will move more towards flexion and the radial deviation can slightly decrease as result.
Chris, how long should it take to do 1000 reps?
Depends on your lifestyle really. If you have a lot of time in your day, then shoot for 150 reps a session. Give yourself a days break after 2 consecutive sessions if you need it. 7-12 days of concentrated reps should get a good foundations laid down to build on. Make sure the reps are consistent and back check them with a camera for accuracy.
Good video but too verbose.
