Thanks big guy, this video saved my golf swing. I got a bit lost with my sequencing and the tip about feeling the pressure in my lead foot fixed everything. Now I'm striking it solid with power again. I guess i used to know this but i forgot it along the way.

Although good players look like they're swinging in one piece, they're really just properly sequencing. Great instruction.

This is exactly where I am in learning golf right now. I signed up for lessons this winter and I'm doing well but I don't drive the ball very far, so my golf teacher corrected my grip then he adjusted my stance and suddenly I was driving the ball 235-245 (which I would be THRILLED with) but he said that I was still using my arms too much and didn't have enough lower body rotation. I've been working so hard on drills in my home gym, trying to learn the motion without having a club in my hands. It's almost like learning a dance step for someone who doesn't dance! lol. But I'm enjoying the process and I'm excited to take that next step! This video is a nice, simple view of it and has renewed my enthusiasm! Cheers from Canada :)

Chris, another great video. I'm working on the sequence, but it's not easy. I find that starting with short pitches has helped. Also, I'm glad you called it torso rotation instead of shoulder rotation. If you stand still, facing front, and try to just rotate your shoulders, not much happens. If you try to rotate your entire upper body, you can rotate a total of about 180 degrees, although the legs naturally move a bit to compensate. Thinking "torso" allows for isolating that part (the major part) of the rotation in the swing.

really like the idea of starting the downswing with 1. pressure on the lead foot combined with slight sitting posture ( which provides that second of hesitation at the top) 2. followed by a slight lead hip bump combined with a vertical drop of the shaft. have been working on the bowed lead wrist for some time with great success.
yours is clearly one of best instructional sites out there.

Chris quick question on club selection when working on your swing. Short Iron? Middle Iron or hybrid?

[MrMeljord]

Chris- great video -interested in you indicating push with the lead leg as it is the one that has the least weight on it at the top of the backswing. Many indicate pushing off with the trail leg. Appreciate your view as to what push if any and when, should be done with the trail leg?

Another good instruction for me to try, thanks Chris, On the subjects, maintaining a good path with the driver would be great, but I guess sequencing should help this.?

[gavincraig]

I really like this video. You did not mention the Hips in the sequence. Yet don't then need to shift and rotate the hips ahead of the torso? I am comparing this video to the one about completing the swing with the belt buckle aimed toward the target.

Agree with Tom Potter...yet another great video/lesson. This is an issue for me, because I make pretty good swings, and then out of nowhere I'll pull the driver way left--sometimes I save that shot with an early release and open clubface--leading to a weak fade. Typical....great to know the better sequence and will work on it.

[babaagha]

Can the sequence start with the knees (squatting i.e going down) followed by the opening of the hips, the opening of the chest, followed by arm movement and release of club ????

[kimlaw]

Thanks Chris... fully understand the downswing move now..

[leewhittaker]

Great vid to find a good plane and not one training aid in sight. Pretty unique lesson. Keep up the good work

[josephiloreta]

Thanks!
So that's how it's done.
Gonna try practice it on the weekend.

Hi Chris thanks for the video. I have always struggled with sequencing in my swing. what is the best way to practice and groove these moves? never been able to get this!

[fredsparkes]

Hi Chris, interesting. However, what is the sequence of the take away?

[Steve-ggfj]

like these videos Chris, would like to see something on position at impact and follow through if you can I particularly struggle with closing the face sufficently to hit a draw

[davekoczan]

great instruction as usual chris... have helped me lower my scores through your videos

[kingshearer]

The hard bit is getting it right in a split second, but some great advice and demonstration. Thanks

[carlomannino]

Are there any good drills to help the legs move first? I've done the feet together and step drill...are there any better drills?
