I have about 15 golf teachers saved on my RUclips. Most are good and I pick up a little here and there. I found yours last Sunday. I can't get enough, obsessed with your material. I do a lot of mirror, video etc of my swing. My ball stricking in less than a week has improved! Your information for whatever reason just clicks and makes more sense of a difficult game. I've been playing since 1986, 64 now and I think I've learned more on RUclips in a year than all the other years waiting for a new lesson in golf digest or golf magazine that fit my issue. Lol I would devour books, golf my way, Greg Norman series with Butch Har
I watched you break this down in another video, it genuinely was a lightbulb moment. I took it to the change and was hitting pure consistent shots. Hit draws properly for the first time since I started! Sometimes it just takes someone to explain it in a way you can personally understand. Many had tried, but it was only you that made it through this thick noggin. Cheers lad.
Chris, this one really is mind blowing. I'd say useful knowledge for all, but particularly for good players to catch a light bulb moment. I found this searching hand path videos. I'm in the camp of trying to get my hands as close to my body and exit left on the downswing with mixed results. The forearm rotation moving the hands out is what I needed to see for that extra room. You can really see it in DJ's swing. Now every swing I see I'm seeing the arms move exactly like you showed in the drill. Really good video dude..
I love this - so so important and so neglected - by coincidence I just started to try this out but was not sure what I was doing was right - so cannot wait to try your drill out tomorrow 🙏😊🏌🏼♂️
Wow I watch a lot of instruction and this is the first time I have seen this lesson. I have always struggled to get a bow in my wrist and get compression without pulling the ball off the planet but now it is much easier. My right arm is unstuck and I now have so much room to deliver the club. I know this is going greatly improve my consistency. I just subscribed. Thanks!!!
Did this drill a few times at home and came to realize that having my hands out a bit coming down made the club in line with my trail forearm going through the ball.
Love the recent videos you’ve been doing about forearm rotation. I basically tried to fight this for years until recently and struggled because of it. Swing feels much more on plane when I let them rotate more freely. Keep up the great content, thanks!
Thank you so much this lesson was exactly what I needed to see. This made me see why I was cupping my wrist at the top of the backswing and leading to an open face at contact. Keeping this in mind during my game has helped have a more consistent strike. Subscribed
I had been working on this after the video you did with Tom because while I wasn't steep wit the club shaft my hand path was a bit steep and got the club a bit too far outside. This really did the trick. The one big thing is having to now adjust my release pattern or it is hosel city, but when I get the grip moving up and left in the middle of the club every time.
You have done other videos on this. Please keep it up. Your explanation is the best I have ever seen. Most YT instructors don't even talk about this. I added about 20 yards with my hybrid practicing this move. Awesome!!
From down the line, I just watched a slow motion video of Tiger Woods hitting an iron shot. From his set up to just before contact when his golf club is parallel to the ground, his hands did in fact move quite a distance away from his body. GREAT video, Chris!!!
This really resonates. I recently clicked that I naturally try to get to ball impact with an early release, but your coaching here also shows how my aim tends to be that I want to swing straight ahead instead of releasing and "coming around". (I assume we tend to think that will create a pull?)
I love this video and I watched the videos in the past on this same matter but I constantly keep topping or shanking it. I have tried a few drills, with covering the alignment stick etc. What am I doing wrong? I know this may be a difficult thing to assess, but I just cannot get under the ball with these changes.
I think domethong judt clicked for me regsrding the position og the right elbow. I haven't been sble to get proper shaft lean. Off to the range - thanks, Chris!
Nice lesson. Part of the problem in doing this full speed with amateurs is we move the hands too deep before moving handle to left thigh. What your brain thinks you are doing and what the body is doing are two different things. The only way I was able to fix this was to video tape myself until I got it right. I told my brain make the move earlier. The video showed I was doing the handle movement correctly with this thought change even though in my mind it didn't seem like it. It's all about timing.
The best way to ingrain a "new motion" is very slow repetition. Start by trying to hit 25 Yard - 6 Iron shots. Once you find repeated success, then add 10 more yards for a few Swings. Gradually add Speed with each 10 Yard Increase. Don't Increase to the next 10 Yards until you have hit 3 or 4 "good shots". Keep working up in 10 Yard Increments until you get to your own "Full Speed".
Glad it helped, being honest I’m not sure of the difference between those two releases. Every golfer I have ever seen uses both body, hands and arms, the blend of those may depend if the club face and shape of swing but all are present
I understand this conceptually, but believe I have brought my hands “in” so that I prevent throwing the club over the top and casting. Would what I’m doing then be an over correction to get shallow?
This was the missing piece watched the video last night, and took it to the range today. Initially started with 1 hour with short wedge shots. Took it to the course for 9 holes, and saw a significant different driver through LW. Finished was an easy -1.
The early part of the downswing will be fairly unique for everyone, but the hands don’t have to move out initially, they can move almost vertically down and you can still hit this ideal position
Many prior videos from a variety of online instructors stress how the hands go in on the takeaway, almost brushing the right hip- "hands in, club out". This is a different model- was the prior approach incorrect?
Hey, no not incorrect at all, this is referencing more of the delivery position coming into impact, if the other instruction you reference was the takeaway then these will be very different
So once you explaind this, I had an a-ha moment like a light bulb shaped like a bomb that looked like an epiphany with an eureka shaped mushroom cloud in my brain. All of a sudden now I'm making turf contact and I don't feel like I'm having to shrug my shoulders like I was before.
Seems a very complicated analysis. Surely this will happen naturally during the downswing since it would be impossible to maintain the angle between arms and golf golf club at adress, when you swing it at 80mph. Your arms will automatically raise due to centrifugal force.??
The copywriting on these titles makes this advice seem a bit more.... TEMU than it actually is. Thank you for a good video, I'd love it if your titles were more descriptive to the content and less sensational
I agree with you and I would also like that, but having trialled various titles unfortunately the more sensational they are the more they get clicked. Personally I’d love it to be different, but I believe in my content, I believe it have some value to some and the only way to get people to click is to make bold claims such as this. I’m not a fan of how RUclips have evolved but it’s a game that I have to play if I want people to see my videos, sad times

Heard he played some decent golf too back in the day 😁, yeah he demonstrates this almost perfectly

What a great visual and explanation of the golf swing. 👏🏻 🙏🏻 ⛳️
Thanks 🙌
This information keeps getting better….😊
Always love your videos man. Thanks for posting!
Thanks for watching
Brilliant. This piece of information seems to me to be absolutely crucial.
Great vid. Just earned yourself a new subscriber. This is what I’ve been looking for.
Thanks, hope some of the other videos help too
I love this video and I watched the videos in the past on this same matter but I constantly keep topping or shanking it. I have tried a few drills, with covering the alignment stick etc. What am I doing wrong? I know this may be a difficult thing to assess, but I just cannot get under the ball with these changes.
Omg! This whole time I’ve been fighting to keep my hands closer to my body, especially on the down swing! I can’t wait to try this on the range!
Hope it helps
I've been told repeatedly me my hands are too close to my body. You have shown me how to fix it. I have been a fan for a while. Many thx.
Great to hear
I think domethong judt clicked for me regsrding the position og the right elbow. I haven't been sble to get proper shaft lean. Off to the range - thanks, Chris!
Good stuff. My arms were getting stuck being too close to my body. Thanks for discussing this topic.
Hope it helps
Your a Great teacher of the game Chris,,,an old USA veteran,,,,,thanks,,, you’ve helped my game
My pleasure 🙌
Nice. WOW. Wish I knew that sooner. Thanks for that tip
Thanks Mike
Cheers big man brilliant job again 👍

Ryan,I found this video very helpful,however I would like to know whether you are a body release golfer or a roll release golfer?
Glad it helped, being honest I’m not sure of the difference between those two releases. Every golfer I have ever seen uses both body, hands and arms, the blend of those may depend if the club face and shape of swing but all are present
I understand this conceptually, but believe I have brought my hands “in” so that I prevent throwing the club over the top and casting. Would what I’m doing then be an over correction to get shallow?
As usual pure 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks
Would that process work with driver ?
Very interesting, thanks.
Thanks for watching
Is this just for hitting down on irons mate? Or does it apply to driver swing too?
Yeah applies to driver too
Does this drill goes the same with driver or no chris?
Thanks
Yes same applies to driver
This was the missing piece watched the video last night, and took it to the range today. Initially started with 1 hour with short wedge shots. Took it to the course for 9 holes, and saw a significant different driver through LW. Finished was an easy -1.
Sir Nick Faldo Drill
This the same with driver?
So the lead hand is moving forward towards the ball almost immediately?
The early part of the downswing will be fairly unique for everyone, but the hands don’t have to move out initially, they can move almost vertically down and you can still hit this ideal position
Many prior videos from a variety of online instructors stress how the hands go in on the takeaway, almost brushing the right hip- "hands in, club out". This is a different model- was the prior approach incorrect?
Hey, no not incorrect at all, this is referencing more of the delivery position coming into impact, if the other instruction you reference was the takeaway then these will be very different
@@ChrisRyanGolfso the hands do get closer to the body on the takeaway but then farther away in the impact position?
Would you not have to be careful when doing this so the club doesn’t get yanked inside when making sure hands move out?

So once you explaind this, I had an a-ha moment like a light bulb shaped like a bomb that looked like an epiphany with an eureka shaped mushroom cloud in my brain.
All of a sudden now I'm making turf contact and I don't feel like I'm having to shrug my shoulders like I was before.
Wow!! Love this, so glad this helped 🙌🙌
With driver too?
Yep same move
Just wondering the exact same thing
This is exactly, 100% my failing in the swing.
Seems a very complicated analysis. Surely this will happen naturally during the downswing since it would be impossible to maintain the angle between arms and golf golf club at adress, when you swing it at 80mph. Your arms will automatically raise due to centrifugal force.??
Not convinced on this one to be fair
Which part Nathan?
Ermm ok i did shank it lol
Way to complicated.
This is a great lesson. This concept isn’t intuitive to novice golfers. If you practice this for a couple of weeks it’ll click for you I promise
