I started doing something similar when I go to the range (after seeing this video) and last weekend shot the lowest round of my life (72). Before that round I had only been able to do this practice twice, and even that was enough for me to be more confident in my feels. I wanted to come back to this video and say thanks for posting this, I believe that round is a result of a change in how I practice! This practice set up makes the time at the range far more efficient. It also gives me a couple things to do before a round to help me find the feel for the day. Would be very interested in seeing what you do for chipping.
Hey Ryan, another great video! I had downloaded this one to watch on the airplane as I just had a business trip to Nashville. Loved all the tips, especially how you arranged the golf balls in sets of four for different drills. My 24 year old son has recently gained interest in golf and we are playing our first round together in the next couple of weeks! Quick note, I don’t know the reason, but I do know that RUclipsrs make sure that videos around this length just barely exceed the 10 minute mark. Likely the algorithm favors 10 minute plus long videos, just a heads up Next time you’re in OC and if you have time, I’d be happy to treat you to a round of golf at one of our south OC courses!

Appreciate it mate! Enjoy the round with your son and hopefully he’s loving it! I’ll check out the algorithm stuff and thanks for the heads up on that! Thanks for supporting the channel too
Hey Ryan, great video. I love the insight into the training aids and the practice structure. Can you do something about the mic though please? I’m not sure if it’s a mixing thing in post or something physical, but the ambient noise like your breathing and shirt rubbing on the mic is a little loud compared to your voice. I know some RUclips golfers clip the mic on the brim of their hat and that seems to work well. Love the content though, keep it up!
@@RyanRuffelsGolf I’ve watched all your stuff and generally watch a ton of RUclips golf content. In my opinion, this is your sweet spot. Pro-level practice and playing vids. Would love more raw practice and range sessions ….
@@RyanRuffelsGolf I'm a bit older and fatter than you are now. I'm still on the bottom end of the PGA Tour averages. 20 years ago I would've been at the top end. I'm working on getting some of that speed back.
Hey Ryan, thanks for all those insights! Love the concept of block practice. Interesting that you repeat the blocks for each clubs! How would you adjust your training if you can't hit on grass range but only matts? Seems like your drills can still apply but curious if you'd focus on something specific given matt ranges are "easier" to practice on than grass. Cheers mate!
I personally wouldn’t adjust anything. Sure contact is easier off mats but all your fundamentals will stay the same. Hit off grass whenever you can but if you can’t just keep doing the same stuff!
Good question and a tricky one to explain. I’ll do the best I can. A swing thought is something technical and that you’re trying consciously to work on. Eg. trying to lay the club off at the top, and deliberately manipulating the club to be laid off A swing feel would be something that you feel in the swing that feels natural that achieves what you’re trying to do. Maybe something like softening grip pressure, feeling the weight of the club set in a natural position at the top etc. I always start with a swing thought when I begin working on something and try to find a feel as I work on it, that is less technical, more natural and easy to replicate on course. Hope that helps !
@@RyanRuffelsGolf Went to the range today and worked on a swing feel instead of a thought. Also blocked the practice like you did and it did wonders for me. You're the man and can't wait to see the journey!

you should do some Malbon giveaways! (aka I can't afford it) 😂
Absolutely gold insight here! Highly recommend everyone to watch this whole video
Ayyyy appreciate you bro! Should Evan and I get a match going soon?
@@RyanRuffelsGolf YES!
I like the sequencing idea, and trusting the process. Good stuff.
You should do a collab with Taco Golf. Would be a great golf video
I’m with Kwon and Sam in Canada right now. Maybe Taco will be next

Great video. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for watching!
So pure
Another great video Ryan. Very insightful. Shot tracker would put the frosting on the cake!
This is what’s needed!!!
Hope it helped
Thanks for doing that Ryan. Swing looks good
Appreciate it
interesting video. Given me insight on something that I do and now realized it. Thanks Ryan.
Glad it was helpful!
Every vid ur accent progressively gets more American lol
I gotta get back to Aus ASAP. That can’t be happening
Love this Ryan, I will give this a try for my practice. I have a lot of drills but this seems like a great structure for them
Let me know how it goes!
Great attention to the details, as an OCD individual I appreciate it.
I’m probably undiagnosed OCD haha

Love the content. You’re talking about your approach to training, not trying to teach. Big difference IMO. Love the follow.
I appreciate that!
Extremely helpful
Glad it helped

Damn...you're a solid full club longer than me. That's some serious speed.
I spend a few hours doing it that’s for sure haha

Really stoked on these videos dude, would be epic to see tracers on these shots. To see your ball flights.
Yew
Good idea! I’ll add that for the next one
Love it buddy. Seems you have been listening through the years :P
Always do ;)
Awesome think will start implementing that to my range session to easy to just bang balls for an hr and get no where really.
Try it out and let me know how you go!
Best of luck big R. Class golfer.
How do you get those hands so high on backswing? Its glorious!!!!
I’m trying to get mine lower actually! Width width width my man if you want to get them up. Appreciate you following along

great video mate really insightful, any tips on consistency of scoring?
I’ll need to do a course management vid to show that!

Smart ball brand?
It’s the Structureball by Watson Golf.
@@jeffwatt2627 Thank you!
@@brendanleong my pleasure.
I know Gabi is in mid-season, but are you going to get a 1v1 at some point this year? I got a feeling she'll get a W this season.
We’ve played it and it’s been filmed already. Putting it together at the moment 🙌🏼
great vid. but can't help but notice an american accent starting to form 😜
The half American side of me is showing its face! I gotta get home so my accent comes back 😂
Ryan what tour are you currently playing
PGA Tour Americas mate
@@RyanRuffelsGolf cool best of luck, any Korn ferry opportunity?
tell me that's a full basket of tp5 🥲
Precisely
