This video deserves to be recognized as one of the best ever in golf tips.

They idea of putting more then 100% into the target side helped SO much. That it’s more then just a weight shift really helped me get the feel for it. Thanks!

Chris, after 15 minutes of implementing this drill you have cured my early extension that I have been struggling with for 10 5 minutes 30 was the kicker!!!! Thankyou...

[blakeah]

Chris, I don’t know how you do it, but you constantly put out top notch, easy to understand/digest videos each and every week. Thanks, and keep up the top tier quality videos!

[spyghetti]

my biggest struggle.. being consistent and weight shift feels off coming into contact (I blame baseball, and being a pleb).. super helpful instruction and tips. Early weight shift and balanced on take back is decent it's the attack and follow-thru that is a problem.

Chris Ryan is far and away the most technical instructor who can teach the golf swing (or parts of the swing) in a manner that anyone can understand and relate to. His ability to convey key concepts and techniques in an understandable and usable manner are what make him a top instructor. He is in a league of his own. I have personally benefited from his swing insights and am forever grateful.

Excellent video Chris on weight transfer. After viewing your demonstration to lift the left foot to get the weight back to the right foot for the irons, I found that the lifting of the left heal probably accomplishes the same thing. I am wanting to get the "ground force" element more into my golf swing and by getting the weight back and then pushing off the right foot onto the lead side, this should help. I'll definitely keep working on it. Keep up the good work Chris!

Thanks for the great video! I hadn’t been doing any of this and tried it at the range and was blown away! I’m playing tomorrow and can’t wait to put it to practice on the course ⛳️

Personally the best golf youtuber out there. Very well explained to someone that doesnt know the golfing term i prefer this way of teaching. I still watch these videos even though I've gone from a 14 handicap down to 8 in 3 to 4 years. All from watching these tips from Ryan. 👏

This is fantastic! My instructor has told me several times he thought my driver swing was beautiful even though I felt like I settled back on the trail foot. He said there is a difference between staying on the back foot and settling on the back foot, which you just pointed out and makes me feel so much better. He even mentioned that Nicklaus would settle in the back foot in his driver and it was perfectly fine to do so.

I really struggle with my weight shift, so thanks for this input. Part of my problem as a high handicapper, is that so much of my focus during a swing is on my arms, that my lower body is on its own. Having the transitions back and forth so early were an eye opener. Not the first time you’ve taught me a facet of golf that was a complete light bulb moment. Let’s see if this will be one!

[clstrat]

Chris you’re a legend. My fav YouTube drills coach. Cheers

[bkellyandroid]

This must be the best explanation of the weight shift ever.

[NEVproductions]

It's unbelievable how much the weight shift affects so much. distance, contact, swing consistency. It's like no matter how much you work the rest of your swing, it doesn't matter till you get this right.

[peteraloisio]

Saved for the next range session. Thanks Chris.

[christianminor]

I've always started my backswing with weight on my trail foot. I'm fact it's my trigger to start my swing and I've never considered anything else until now. Something has always been off and starting with the weight on my front foot feels like learning a whole new swing, but I'm going to commit bc it feels so good when i do it correctly. Thanks for the video and I'm excited to work this move into muscle memory!

[chuckpalmer]

Great video. I have always had a weight shift problem especially with the driver. Thank you

[paulgutermann]

To the extent I properly understood my previous instruction on weight shift it was very different; more likely I misunderstood it. But as usual, this 10 minutes was easy to understand, made complete sense and, if winter would just hurry up and leave, I’m sure it will help. Thanks Chris’s.

[trevorw]

Excellent breakdown of the weight shift process. For a high handicap golfer it’s like the holy grail of making consistently good ball strikes.

[johndrake]

The weight shift has been the biggest problem in my game, thanks for making it simple to understand.
