Best golf video I have seen on KZfaq, no dragged out explanations. Perfectly concise, thank you.

First video I’ve watched that hasn’t over burdened me with too much technical advice. Very straight forward, makes sense and it works. Have to keep watching it though to remind me.

I've been watching your videos during the lockdown, and your tips have really improved my ball striking. I am still struggling with an open club face at impact, but it's much improved. I am hitting my driver much better, but still struggle with ball placement when I tee it up. Where is the best ball position for your driver?

@bobbyk3469 4 жыл бұрын

Watching your tips, I've become a solid striker of the ball, especially with longer irons. 3-7, but catch myself shortening my arms with shorter irons and wedges. Hopefully I can add a few of these to my practice. Ball position and extending the arms are on top of the list.

Well done Chris another great lesson. I certainly used to hit a lot of worm killers before I started watching your videos and getting my weight forward! You have made a big difference to my game, thanks mate. Happy to have passed your name on to many down here in NZ.

Brilliant video - transformed my game. The top that has significantly changed my ball striking was maintaining the radius - I have never hit the ball as well. My scores off an index of 11.2 were always in the mid- eighties; now low 80's and some in the 70's. Cheers Chris👍

Until today I was continually topping the ball on the fairway with my irons. Yesterday I watched this KZfaq video from Chris and realised some of the mistakes I was making, and in my round of golf today I only topped the ball a couple of times and my round improved by at least 10 shots. All of this improvement down to the excellent tips from Chris. I shall definitely watching more videos from Chris.

Another great set of tips. To practice, I often use an old plastic or calling card on the target side the ball. Clearing it away helps with getting weight forward and getting good contact with the turf after the ball.

@spectre86 4 жыл бұрын

Great work as usual, Chris! I have a question that I really can't seem to get a straight answer to. How much of the golf swing divvied between the arms and the rest of the body? Keeping the radius long has always been a struggle for me and when I apply inward pressure at the elbows, my swing (while straight) feels weak and constrained like I'm in a straight jacket. Is it 90-10 body (hips, shoulders, etc) to arms? 50-50? In other words...are the arms just along for the ride?

I watched the video you posted for getting rid of a slice. I played today using your hints. Drove the ball straight every time. I'm an engineer. from an ergonomics standpoint, it all made sense. The guys said I must be hitting the range, and I said no, just watching Chris Ryan's youtube videos. Waiting for a video on back spins.

I was having real issues with catching the ball 'clean' and wanted to go back to basics somewhat. And this was why... I found i had moved away from the basics (and I'm sure over compensating to cover some horrors). Having studied this and following your tips,, following day i only hit one topped shot and shot 8 less on the round than prior day!. (My hcap index also went down btw 🙄) many Thanks for the masterclass Chris 👍👍

@ianwoollard2063 3 жыл бұрын

I’m having trouble staying in posture and failing to brush the turf all to often, contacting the ball but no turf. The ball goes right. Feels so embarrassing. I’ve been getting lessons and have fixed path, plane, hands at impact and ball position. Weight transfer may be the cause but I feel like I don’t stay down in position through the ball at impact.

Although the tee wouldn't have been placed explicitely for this purpose I think it would fall foul of rule 10.2b (placing object to indicate line of play).
