I was someone who came off the wall and was super steep and over the top constantly cutting across the ball hitting super high delofted fades along with tops and chunks, I worked on this drill against my house with an old driver shaft, did it off and on for a couple hours and then went to the range, and flushed the ball shot after shot, chris had a magical phrase in this video that just worked for me, and that phase is "THE LEAD SHOULDER GOES DOWN AND AROUND" and this feel in combination with upward extension is money. thanks Chris

THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST GOLF TIPS I HAVE EVER SEEN! Swing path (coming from the inside) is one of the most important components of the golf swing. I have struggled for years with trying to get the feeling of how to drop my hands from the inside. This drill helped me immediately. Great tip Chris!

This was outstanding because of its simplicity and clarity. As an ex-teacher, I'd have to give you 10 out of 10, and additionally, who has ever heard an instructor admitting to anything other than perfection in his own game? So 10 out of 10 for being a fallible human. I think we can all identify with that.

Great drill Chris for swing plane, perfect for all levels of golfers and so simple to execute. Cheers

This 1 is my 1/2 hour day drill. Cures what ails ya-- over-the-top, early extension, bloating, hives, and erectile dysfunction. Chris rocks.

[seadonkey]

Still and probably forever one of the best lessons anyone can get to learn how to deliver the club.

[markzamitalo]

Truly one of the best training drills for the key to a great golf swing.

[liammalone]

best drill ive seen so far, tried it today, makes sense and not complicated, thanks

[ABshookme]

You just got yourself af new fan, Chris. I've been trying it out on the driving range today and this is really a big step for a person like me who have only played for 40 years ...

[michellemccurrach]

brilliant drill. not only for a great downswing feeling but also to achieve a decent top of backswing position. my golf instantly improved after a few days working on this

[klausklaus]

chris... not bad at all... !
such a different approach ... and yet the swing looks a lot like what bradley hughes is teaching...
... but so much simpler to explain...
more than 90% of mid and high handicappers come across the line... this drill should help a lot of them...
thx a bunch

just saw this video Chris. Went to the range right after watching the Farmers Open. Wow!!! I hit my irons the same way. CRUSHED the ball with both driver and irons. I have always had different swings as per the club used.. Not now. The thing I need to work on now is "low to high" When I do both the ball flys.

Great one Chris. You've won me as a subscriber. Tried the drill and it feels so easy. Wrist hinge, place club on top of the backswing, drag the club head down the wall and hold on to the wrist set while the hips fire away. I do have the occasional slice when I don't transfer my weight though but this happens when there's something new I active, y think about in my swing. Takes repetitions I guess.

[joesmith]

Absolutely perfect. I've been trying to teach this method for years to golfers who get stuck/push/hook. Great image.

Great video about one of the most important parts of the downswing. It looked a great drill with the line up stick against the wall. It is vital to hit the ball front the inside of your downswing. This exercise I will use and practice until it becomes first nature in my downswing. Keep these great and informative videos coming. Charles

I'm crediting this video, along with the ones about the lead knee starting the downswing, with massively improving my ball striking. It was improving with getting the lead knee across, but my lead shoulder was coming up too fast, which this video has helped with. I was hitting it better than I have in ages today, great work Chris, love the videos!

Chris, your an excellent instructor and this is an excellent lesson. Why not update for a new is really for the longer clubs up to driver. Do another one of 5 make it a series. Thank you !!! Teach your students to belly When a golfer chest breathes it tightens the shoulders and upper body. All bad things come after that.

[mattb]

Omg amazing. All my days to figure out that transition to inside. Thanks

[Tier__Golf_Academy]

Still one of the best transition drills I’ve ever seen. Bravo 👏

[stix]

One of the best feel drills ever Chris!
