Well, I have to say thank you for keeping it real. You tell the truth, cut out the BS. Every time i fix one part of my swing, something else goes wrong. Then i fix that for a while, and something else goes wrong. Having someone like you to have 1 on 1 lessons from would be awesome. So, again, thanks for the truth.
Wow Chris this is a amazing game changing tip, I have just lost a little edge off my game until this game changing tip from you, I play off 4hc and slowly going out the I employed this tip on Saturday comp and had 2 under and won the comp but more importantly lost point 7 off the hc, so thanks to you this is a permanent part of my pre shot routine,,, sorry for the long email, cheers Mark from Australia still watching your posts.
Finally. I’ve been saying this for the last decade. I feel like I lost my shot at playing on a professional level after college because I was focusing on things instructors told me were important, not what is actually important. Very well said, brother.
Golf instructors in general are the worst. At least all the famous, supposedly top instructors. All they can talk about is positions and theyve misguided an entire generation.
How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt
This is spot on. Crazy to me how many beginners get hung up on so called fundamentals and achieving positions on the full swing instead of working on gaining feel and skill with the hands through repetition of short shots, punches, pitches, this drill, intuitive little hooks and cuts, etc. you have to have great hands!
So grateful that Mark Crossfield watches you, because I’m not sure I would have seen this. Title seemed a little clickbait, but really appreciate this! You’re reenforcing what I am learning for myself
Nice one Chris. Thank you. Any learnt skills require practice, practice, and practice. What I find is practicing on a driving range with synthetic turf mats can be detrimental to your game. As you just can’t get that feel of ball then turf.
THESE ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL. Grip it however you like, takeaway however you want, and as long as you consistently strike the ball well, everything else will come naturally - your own rhythm of swing. That's my take on this video. First time seeing your content, I'm subbing. Thanks, coach!
I like this. Bryson Dechambeau had a great drill in the sand trap. Draw a line, and try to hit just ahead of the line to consistently find low point. The sand provides great feedback. I guess you could get spray paint and spray a line on the grass and do the same thing if you dont have access to a trap
Decent video Chris, these are the fundamentals I am working on recently and and I really struggled with weight being towards front foot until I was told to angle my front foot and it all just kinda happened without much thought or effort.
My normal setup is like the first drill. My weight and hands are forward. I think that setting up closer to an impact position makes it easier to back to that position. Why do conventional teachers always teach the same setup position? Am I missing something? I fly my 7 iron 175 yards so I don't think it's a power issue.
@@ChrisRyanGolfI think the low point is key. You can’t play decent if your low point is 3 inches behind the ball or varies from one shot to the next. Once you have this then clubface control is next. If you get these two right then you’ll be a pretty good golfer. Length is great if you really want to score.
Your saying two things. Keep the right hand under to control the club head and swing freely and the right hand rolls over just after impact I’m confused
In the club face control section? In that I was encouraging different movements to control the club face in order to make the ball go left or right, is that the section you are referring too?
Great drills but so much of the swing at amateur level is hindered by physicality. Lack of hip flexibility, shoulder rotator etc leading to irregular strike points.
All I know is I see golfers all the time walk up to their shots - take the " wrong stance " " aim in the " wrong direction " swing with a very imperfect swing - and POW ! -they are on the Green !! Obviously they do a lot of bad movements AND a lot of corrective actions as well ! I simplify the game play 1/2 set 3W 5W 4H 6H 8. PW and SW Putter ! swing easy and enjoy - will never be a mid or low handicap golfer ! but having fun -different if I was young !
There are plenty of those golfers out there! Just shows that if you can get the strike, control the curve then who cares what it looks like. Great to hear your are out there having fun, that’s what it’s all about
Great video Truth is you dont need a Great golf swing to play great golf! i am proof! 1You need Delusional Confidence! due to taking up golf late in life having watched it on TV i thought it was achievable to hole 15ftrs,chip in, get birdies etc 2 You need to do golf related skill drills (1 in 200 have ever taken this advice) havent watched video yet but guessing thats what he says Every good golfer that ever lived learnt to bounce a ball on a wedge! 3 become a good putter relates to point 1! 4 dont have a round destroying bad shot,yes easy to say,i dont have a wild hook or slice just a bit of a straight duff point 2 helps you get away with it! my swing doesnt get worse under pressure again relates to point 2! 5 Never Underclub! most o play with regularly underclub by at least 2! Delusional Confidence doesnt mean delude yourself! 210 is a good carry for me,i use 6 iron from 150 and i carry 3 hybrids! cos you getaway with slight fats and thins
Disagree with this one Chris. You need proper fundamentals do all these movements you discuss. Golf is not s skill based sports that’s why no matter your athletic ability if you have the proper fundamentals you can play relatively decent golf. Misleading video
I never expect everyone to agree with everything I say so issue at all, but interesting discussion. I believe golf is a skill based sport and the technique is the vehicle that helps is deploy those skills. Do agree that grip and stance etc are important, but in my experience giving someone a ‘perfect’ grip doesn’t guarantee improvement, but improving strike, ball control and distance would improve someone in almost all cases Never seen a great players who can’t strike it, hits it short and can’t control the curve, but seen plenty of incredible golfers with crack handed grips, poor posture, skewed alignment etc
I think fundamentals are dynamic you can't just rest on great posture, grip and ball positions you need to be able to athletically adjust these on the fly. I love that Chris is challenging the status quo on this.
You need a repeatable swing. Even if you don't strike the ball perfectly, as long as you know what the outcome will be, you can play good golf. Golf is only a skill based sport which is why you don't need to be athletic to play it. The only fundamental of golf is to know where the ball is going to go after you hit it. That's it. How you do it is up to you. If your stance, grip, swing path, etc were required to be a certain way, all pro swings would look the same. They don't.
Hope you enjoy the video, any questions just let me know

Thanks John! Think coaching has gotten a lot better but certainly years ago it was all about those old ‘fundamentals’ 🙏🏻

How much you wanna make a bet I can throw a football over them mountains?... Yeah... Coach woulda put me in fourth quarter, we would've been state champions. No doubt
No jokes. I think this is the best golf video I've seen. Common sense explanation and easy drills. Perfect.
Thanks so much 🙏🏻🙏🏻

Exactly! It the skills that allow you to play rather than the ‘positions’, they obviously help but it’s all about the skills

Nice one Chris. Thank you. Any learnt skills require practice, practice, and practice. What I find is practicing on a driving range with synthetic turf mats can be detrimental to your game. As you just can’t get that feel of ball then turf.
Very true, plenty you can do but it does get to the stage where it just isn’t the real thing and then only turf or the course will do
THESE ARE THE FUNDAMENTAL. Grip it however you like, takeaway however you want, and as long as you consistently strike the ball well, everything else will come naturally - your own rhythm of swing. That's my take on this video.
First time seeing your content, I'm subbing. Thanks, coach!
i feel like ima level up with this new found knowledge I have just gained thank you Chris
New fundamentals ?
1. Solidness of strike fat/thin
2. Clubface control/ shape control skills
3. Develop speed
4. Mental skills (one shot mindset/ course management)
Your first drill is something I do to warm up every range session with a 5 or 6 iron to feel my low point. Love the whole concept of this video.
I tell a lot of my students the same, it’s a perfect way to start your warm up and get a feel for the swing
I like this. Bryson Dechambeau had a great drill in the sand trap. Draw a line, and try to hit just ahead of the line to consistently find low point. The sand provides great feedback. I guess you could get spray paint and spray a line on the grass and do the same thing if you dont have access to a trap
Any chance you could do the exact same video but for long irons, woods, and driver each?? This video was super powerful for my irons up to 7i.
Great simple tips that fixed my inconsistency in my setup. Loved the fundamentals that you adjust to your style.
Decent video Chris, these are the fundamentals I am working on recently and and I really struggled with weight being towards front foot until I was told to angle my front foot and it all just kinda happened without much thought or effort.
Very useful. Thanks 👍
Focus on the dynamic fundamentals is what really resonates with me in Stack&Tilt.
Exactly! Grip style is irrelevant if you can perform the skills
Great tips Chris love your videos merry Christmas 🎄
Great video. Love the way you keep things so simple
Thanks John appreciate it 🙏🏻

Agreed, tough game without that 🙏🏻

What about club path? Out to in, in to out? Combine that with closed, neutral, and open club faces?
Great Video with Excellent Instruction, Thanks Chris! 🏌🏽♂️⛳️
Thanks for watching 🙏🏻
This was brilliant! Top tips. Have you seen Amah Dragmah talk about you on his latest video?
Priceless instructions, as usual!
Thanks 🙏🏻
This is refreshing
Thanks 🙏🏻
Well done Chris 👏 😊
Thanks Roy 🙏🏻
Do you have any online lessons or swing analyses available?
Yes! Online coaching via my website chrisryangolf.com take a look and you can apply on the site 🙏🏻

9:42 which app is this?
It’s the Blast app and sensor, great bit of kit
@@ChrisRyanGolf thank you ☺
If it’s Army golf, you gotta start on the left….just saying.
YO LEFT, YO LEFT, YO LEFT, RIGHT, LEFT
🤣very true, can you tell I’ve never been in the army
@@ChrisRyanGolf 😂
@@VulneravariableESSAYONS!
Great video Truth is you dont need a Great golf swing to play great golf! i am proof!
1You need Delusional Confidence! due to taking up golf late in life having watched it on TV i thought it was achievable to hole 15ftrs,chip in, get birdies etc
2 You need to do golf related skill drills (1 in 200 have ever taken this advice) havent watched video yet but guessing thats what he says
Every good golfer that ever lived learnt to bounce a ball on a wedge!
3 become a good putter relates to point 1!
4 dont have a round destroying bad shot,yes easy to say,i dont have a wild hook or slice just a bit of a straight duff point 2 helps you get away with it!
my swing doesnt get worse under pressure again relates to point 2!
5 Never Underclub! most o play with regularly underclub by at least 2!
Delusional Confidence doesnt mean delude yourself! 210 is a good carry for me,i use 6 iron from 150 and i carry 3 hybrids! cos you getaway with slight fats and thins
Worse than lies, are conflicting lies 😂
Very true! 🤣
Title is about skills, content ends up being full of technical advice. Sad
you're just changing hand position at point of contact. Forget the mumbo jumbo! Hands forward (in front of ball) at contact.
