Why Your Golf Swing Needs THIS Unexpected Key Move

- Опубликовано: 31 май 2024
- In this lesson I wanted to share a simple solution to a problem that i have been seeing quite a bit recently with the students I have been working with.
Many of these had steep swings, over the top moves are were cutting across the golf ball at impact, they all had 1 common mistake in transition. Over the years many golfers have been told that the 'arms' are bad when it comes to the golf swing and you should focus more on the body and the bigger muscles...... it was that exact concept that was hurting these golfers.
In this lesson I show you exactly what the arms should be doing and give you a really simple and easy way of training this into your swing. The students that I showed this to all saw instant results with better downswings and better shots, if it helped them I know it can help you too
As always i'm keen to hear your thoughts so drop down below and let me know if you have any thoughts or questions

Watched this yesterday, worked on it for 45 minutes this morning followed by a round. Had to come back and leave feedback, made a HUGE difference to the quality of strike and flight direction. 👏👏👏
Thanks so much John, love hearing feedback like this, really glad it helped 🙌
I'm 70 and have played 60 years and this is the best tip I've ever heard. I was about to give up golf because I lost so much distance. After this my 9 iron is back to 150 yards 5 iron 200 and 3 wood at minimum 240 (length of the driving range). Can't thank you enough!!!
Chris thank you for putting correct golf information on RUclips. Among all the nonsense i see on RUclips you and a few others are the only channels posting quality golf content. Much appreciated. I now understand why tiger woods said "stay off RUclips when looking for golf swing tips"
Thanks so much, unfortunately I agree with you, plenty of junk out there but hopefully I’m bringing helpful content 🙌
Chris, I am so grateful for your instructional videos. They are so helpful and insightful. As a physician and older golfer, I see some of the instruction by others online that seem more likely to cause injuries to us mere mortals. Your drills to get hand/arm speed early in the downswing are fantastic. All of your videos are amazingly helpful, easy to understand and follow. I just wish you were closer, so I could take lessons with you in person. Thank you for all your hard work and inspiration!!!
You're one of the best instructors on YT. Concepts become very clear after your explanation. I've improved my game by following a lot of your tips.
Thanks so much 🙌
I've been watching some of the Martin Ayers, John Hensby, Steve Elkington RUclips content over the last few days. It isn't the easiest to follow, but I've been trying very hard ! One of the things they talk about is dumping the club, which I assumed to be as stated. However, the explanation of exactly what to do wasn't clear.
Then suddenly this video popped up, and I have to say a big thank you to Chris for his perfectly clear explanation and demonstration of what I believe I've been trying to decipher. This is just so helpful - clear visual and verbal advice.
Didn't even have to finish watching and knew right from the start that this is one of the main problems why we don't get our club and hands at the front leg at impact along with coming over the top even if it's only slightly. This morning I finally saw why I couldn't get to that position by dissecting Tigers younger self. I saw his arms move 1st, while I was moving my hips and shoulder along with the arms as 1 piece. Took me a while to get my arms to function independently for the 1st move, but eventually got it. Now that I see this drill it should be much easier to program myself for that move 1st. Nice
Great video chrris, very clearly explained concept and tried out on course today👍
Great video. That’s why it’s called “down swing” not out swing. As most amateur golfers have so much swing through. I know my self on the downswing I think about rotation and start the downswing with lower body and hip first. End up with the issue u have on this video, ball go out to the right.
I love that!! I’m definitely stealing that, it’s downswing not out swing 🙌🙌
Thanks Ryan!! Great video and thank you for teaching and sharing everything you know with everyone. You are definitely one of the OG on RUclips 😊
Thanks 🙌🙌
Great video, I have used this on the course with great success. Thanks.
Well Done Chris on the Key Arm movement on the Golf Swing! This has been the move I have been working on for a few months now. When I connect with it, the shots are pure and long. On the other hand. . . . . . . .! I know it's a Work In Progress, so I am not disappointed with negative feed back. I am archiving this video for referral purposes! Keep up the Good Work Chris!
Thanks John
what a perfectly timed video. I had these "feels' whilst working on my swing last night.
Perfect! Hope this helps
Amazing video, thanks Chris!
Thanks 🙌
Light bulb moment... drop THEN turn!! Thank you!!
My pleasure
Can't wait to give this a try! Thanks for posting!
Hope it helps
Simply brilliant and made a massive difference to my game!
Thanks and glad it helped 🙌
Well done Chris 👏 😊
Thanks Roy 🙌
This is a great video, issue I have I think is crossing the line at the top of backswing. Which when I do something like this means the club head is ahead of the hands promoting the out to in path. Its not an outswing as such. Hopefully with the visual and contact aid of hitting an impact bag it will me bring the clubhead down more in line with shaft if not slightly behind. Any videos on why you cross the target line at top of swing would be helpful
I've been working on this move, fixes so many issues. Just trying to work on hand speed and deceleration. Trying to get that "speedboat and skier" feel!
Really powerful move, get that right and good things will happen!!
Great video, thank you.
Hopefully this will fix my over the top.
Thanks Tim
Great vid with excellent drills on using your arms properly. I am reminded of the lessons from Leslie King ( 1928?) but he didn't include these drills. Thank you!
Thanks 🙌
Ive been watching monte scheinblum for a while and he talks about this alot. Research (apparently- i havent delved into it) says the hips lead the arms by 0.3 seconds and the earlier people try to use their arms, the better the relationship between hips and arms is.
Us hackers often think we're using our arms too much and end up spinning out even more 🤦♂️ ive had great success with this type of drill and can hit effortless rockets. As usual, i end up straying and losing it for a bit. When i come back to this type of drill it always helps! Got a round booked tomorrow and this has just reminded me that this will be my only swing thought tomorrow 👍
Yeah the hips lead but as you say it’s a split second, most do need the arms to go faster
Chris, I had to come back on here regarding this video, having tried it out today.
Wow! I realised that all along my "feel" has been to swing the club - collect the ball - and try to follow through as an afterthought.
It only clicked today once I fully realised that my main instinct has to be that it's the TURN that helps you strike the ball, not the arm swing. It's changed my whole thinking - still not perfect but I feel like I'm now on the right path.
I've been told previously to try and "rake the wall behind" in order to get the right plane but that just felt weird.
I really feel I've turned a corner..! Cheers
Ah so glad it helped Lee, and thanks for taking the time to comment 🙌🙌
I think this could the bit I've been looking for. I struggled with an overly aggressive downswing for ages, then it clicked one day when I decided to take a fuller slower backswing. This calmed me down but I also found the "sling" action and for a few weeks I was much improved, and it felt great. Then I suddenly couldn't maintain it, esp on the course, and I think I tense up too much and then use arms and not much shoulder turn.
This drill looks like it could fix a lot as I think I've been starting my downswing with my body turn. (I convinced myself that turning my body first and feeling the arms/club lag behind was the right thing, but your vid suggests I got that wrong.... Cheers
Really hope it helps Lee, sounds very much like it will be what you need
Brilliant!
Thanks
Great video, Chris. I've seen Rory McIlroy do this pump drill on the practice tee as well.
You mentioned that the hands slow down somewhere between 7 and 6 o'clock. This is not something that happens as a by-product and not intentional, correct? I'd hate to think that one has to focus on slowing down the hands while only having .25 of a second to do it.
Fantastic explanation. Need to get out on to the range
Thanks Ken
If you're not doing this and one of the ones that just move aggressively from the top instead - how much speed do you think you're missing out on ? I'm just curious.
Superb as usual. I hope U will make a new video with a little more discussion on the SEQUENCE of arms and body motions.
Thanks and will look to do something like this
Great video Chris 🤙
Thanks Matt
Can you make a video translating this into the driver? I keep hitting the ground with the driver, trying to do this.
that's cuz this is rubbish advice
liked your session you shared you had with your student on this topic. Just one detail I would like to know: Are you hitting the bag with the leading edge or should you hit it with the clubface? Thanks and have a nice weekend, greetings from Austria
More the heel of the club in this drill with the toe up, a little leading edge would be fine too but it’s more to get the arms moving better early on, great drill though
@@ChrisRyanGolf Thanks for clarifying, Chris!
Hugely important factor in any golf swing and very well demonstrated here - many thanks Chris.
Chris, can this drill be used for the driver also or would it be a little different since the driver is longer and you are standing farther away?
Yep have done this with driver too and gives great results
Hi Chris, I'm a little confused. In this drill do I transfer weight to my lead side before or after my hands go down?
When you do it correctly, it's almost impossible not to transfer your weight naturally at the correct time. The weight of the club will make you want to go backwards a bit and so your body will automatically want to shift weight to your lead side - you have to trust it, it took me a while after watching monte sheinblum no turn cast videos but focusing on the arms makes you want to shift naturally. Hope this helps 👍
In the drill no need to move the weight, it’s just to highlight what the arms do relative to the body. In the full swing you can go ahead and shift and turn like you would normally but the drill can be done without any weight shift
Great lesson again thanks Chris but I’m a little confused. I thought you’ve taught that the whoosh sound, being the fast point of your hands in the swing, was at 5 to 4 o’clock (if looking at the front of you) now you’ve said that the fastest point is at 8 to 7 o’clock. Does this mean that the hands slow down and the wrists take over at level position, allowing for the speed boat- water skier effect to take place?
I do hope this lesson, doesn’t affect my handicap anymore, things are getting pretty tough for an old fella on 9 😅😅
Yes that’s exactly spot on, the arms slow to allow the club to accelerate so the clubs speed should max out at the ball but the arms max out way sooner.
Imagine you are cracking a whip, the hands would slow down rapidly to then accelerate the end of the whip, similar concept here
@@ChrisRyanGolf perfect, thank you 👍
You are the best
Thanks 🙌🙌
Does the body just rotate or do you shift towards the ball as well?
Yes there is some shift towards the target too in the downswing
Thank you Chris.
Thanks
Harry Vardon concept
Would a good thought for this be get your club back to the ball first?
Not in my experience as that’s the idea that can get some into some less than ideal positions. Ideally work the arms down, the body rotation is what causes the club to move out to the ball, if the idea is to get the club to the ball and then the body turns you will most likely come very steep and over the top
@@ChrisRyanGolf Makes sense. Thanks Chris. Your videos are great!
Eureka!
This hitting bag drill contradicts 90 (wrist) ?? 8:55
Not sure what you mean by 90 wrists, can you explain a little more?
Hey Chris, I just watched your video and I must say that it was really informative and well-made.
I was wondering if I could help you edit your videos and repurpose your long videos into highly engaging shorts? I can also make high CTR thumbnails for your channel
This is why golf is so hard. My natural swing is too much arms so doing this makes me hit fat. My fix is to focus on rotation and less arms.
We have picked the hardest sport to play that’s for sure
I've heard DeChambeau say drop your hands into your right pocket.-- similar idea?
Very similar, same concept really….. and he’s pretty decent 👉🏻
Sorry is it the same technique with the driver as it looked at the beginning of the video.
It is yes
Some time ago I've seen a more extreme version of the drill with an axe being thrown to the side of the body. I'm not sure I would advise anyone to do it 😁
No that sounds very dangerous 🤣
Explains why big Jack said he released the club as quickly as possible.
He was pretty decent too 🤣
Can't you just lower your right shoulder in downswing? What's the difference?
Different move, the trail shoulder will naturally move towards the ground as you rotate, but as that’s happening the arms need to move independently of the shoulders
This is such an important concept that OTT slicers need to understand. Watch any professional golfer's swing and you will see this lowering of the hands initiate the downswing, not the shoulders turning. Keep your back to the target and drop the hands.
Could not agree more 🙌
what are we calling this non casting .....casting move. i mean every thing in golf swing theory has a distinct name. so what is this called specifically. this is obviously the latest little swing fault fix that repairs the warped minds of all of us that have been told this is casting or throwing and is wrong. i even saw a youtuber state this fix is in fact casting and is anti lag theory because the angles of the wrist or lag are released to early. i saw this fix last week from another youtuber and tried to implement it. i do exactly as you describe. pinning left arm against the chest and forcing the upper body to turn. With this I get the right shoulder pushing out over the ball syndrome. i find it harder to implement in clubs 7 iron and below. 5 iron actually feels like the ball is just popping off the face. I do not get the same sensation or improvement yet in my other clubs but can kinda feel it.
Hopefully Chris will answer too, but this is a drill, you are dropping the hands and releasing the lag only, nothing else, there is no turn to the shoulders or hips. When that part of the swing is added to the turn, then the lag will release at the proper time. If you want to do this drill without releasing the lag you can, some people call that the pump drill.
Not got a name just yet, but I don’t think this is a new move, just one that I don’t think has been coached that well over the years. I’ve heard lots say that the arms should be passive, the body should do all the work and that’s just not the case…. Maybe I should come up with a name for it though 😁
@@ChrisRyanGolfcan we call it the anti-cast cast? People have been indoctrinated to think that any form of angle release is a cast. Throwing towards the ball from the top is a 'cast' (clubhead taking the shortest route to the ball). Throwing away from the ball is actually good like you've demonstrated here (clubhead takes the longest possible route to the ball).
Short cast = bad cast
Long cast = anti cast
The word cast has lost all meaning in my brain now 😅
Whatever next. Ludicrous
I’m so confuse I’ve been doing everything to avoid throwing my hands down so I don’t cast I’ve been hitting the ball pure and lots of control contact with a nice draw, but my speed is lacking. I figured that’s due to age but now I got a practice this that something seems so counterintuitiveto what we’ve been told and to what would seem like would bring back the casting yips again….dude, I hope you’re right
