GOLF - HOW TO GET OPEN AT IMPACT

Chris Ryan shows you the two key components required to get your body more rotated open at impact.

many of the golfers who struggle to rotate through the golf ball do so because they have these 2 faults present in their downswings.

I know this is an old video but I trialled this out this morning, doing the drill of feeling the position and hitting a few half shots from there. It really helped! I’ve been struggling to lag the club, coming over the top and rotating correctly. This drill helped fix it all! Hope you’re well.

[wookim]

wow i finally understand why the club has to be shallow with your great explanation of the forces causing the club to go outward....great work!

[BRIANFAIRBROTHER]

Good stuff Chris. Working so hard on this move. It’s that first drop of the club I don’t get right but am improving

[YazzaBrown]

Genius explanation and drills, I will definitely be trying this next time I’m at the range. Thank you Chris

[wanderingbrummie]

Great explanation Chris, I love these short vids. How far behind the ball is the stick?

[geraldthomas]

Great video, Chris! After weeks not being able to practice l, my contact felt ‘off’. I realized I wasnt completing my hip rotation before my upper body kicked in.

Hey Chris, great drill, but you Didn’t mention in the video How Far Behind the ball the alignment rod is placed? Looks to be maybe a club length, maybe a smidge more? Can you please give an approximate distance behind the ball to place the alignment rod so we can execute this drill properly? Thanks 🙏 man!

great video Chris your explanation is spot on and simple keep up the good work

[John-jndt]

As usual great video SPOT ON. You asked how you can make your channel better, the only way you can make it better is to have two videos a day

When I set the right task of throwing the club outward to the right slightly AND opening the body it tends to make the swallowing of the club natural. Open the hips gradually (not spinning) and throw the butt of the club out to the right with no tension - it's amazing what the brain knows how to do when you just let it. It's actually impossible to come over the top or get steep if you just simply set that task and let the subconscious work out the rest.
If I think about swallowing or dropping arms or hitting the ball I am toast. In fact, if I think about any position I am toast.

Great video Chris. About how far behind the ball do you place the alignment stick ?

[thomasfraser]

With a shorter single plane swing should the lead hip start rotation immediately to 35/40 degrees at impact of club head to the ball? Thank you.

[ianrobertshaw]

Hi Chris. How far behind the ball did you set the alignment stick. Great tip. Thanks.

[golfweed]

I get it, however, how far back from the ball do you place the

[laalkala]

No one could have explained it better. Thanks a gazillion @chrisrayangolf!

[ajoxtoby]

You've got to show the side view or give distances so that we can duplicate the setup!

[evansine]

Great ...when I shallow the club it feels like a small loop

[glennwatson]

Are you saying your arms start to swing down before your hips begin to turn. I have tried to do just the opposite, hips turn first then arms catch-up..

[troywinn]

Show the side view of this demonstration. And what distance back from the ball is the stick

[Wesquire]

What if I'm shallow and square the face early and my hips are still barely open?
