I just wanted to pop a note of thanks to you for so many great tutorials. Last August I watched your trail arm video that was an epiphany for me! Since then my index has dropped six points (admittedly easier when you start at a big number), and just in the past month I’ve been breaking 100 consistently. Your videos have given me some crucial info that none of my coaches thru the years ever did. Thanks again!

This week I’ve had an opportunity to caddy at an LPGA event. I’m blown away at the tempo. It’s the exact same every swing. Been fun to watch!

[mikegesell]

I have watched several of your videos now and I think you do a fantastic job of demonstrating and explaining the lesson. Please keep making videos as I find them extremely helpful.

[marksullivan]

Thank you. Excellent usable tips for my current issue.

[ivobonzano]

Hi Chris, I’m really grateful to these tips, ‘cause my swing improved a lot, also by using a more strong grip. Really thank you

[jonatee]

Huge thanks, made a huge difference to my swing

[mikeisthestig]

I still use the first bar of the Blue Danube waltz - da da da da da the first one just before the takeaway and the last one at impact. Great to have the rhythm confirmed by a great teacher!

[waynemcgill]

Very simple and practical I will try these drills soon. Thanks

[beckerecomm]

I really like your videos. You explain the swing mechanics so well and provide great drills and advice. Thank you so much!!! And, keep the videos coming - you will gain a huge following IMHO Cheers from Canada

Fantastic drills mate! Will definitely give the timing a go in practice. I was swinging so fast at the weekend to compensate for how windy it was...

Quick question, I assume this timing drill works for all clubs? Even woods and driver?

Thanks again, mate.

[mikecook]

Great video, one of my biggest problems. I will give your advice a significant try!!

[trebor]

Thanks for this Chris. Is a bit of head movement towards the target ok in transition? I struggle with the idea of keeping my head back but getting weight forward. I tend to do one or the other but not both!

Hi Chris,
Is rushing the reason why i sometimes have a bad off shot to the left? Its like topping, i think a bit with the 'heel' but really strong to the left.
Please, what to do?

Thank you. Counting has always worked. When I am anxious and gorget to count I have u as usually miffed my swing. Again, thank you!

[stephenbrown]

Perfect timing Chris thankyou. Since we've got back to playing I feel some shots are rushed and am actually working on rhythm so these ideas will be great to try.

[golfnutnz]

Thank you Chris, perfect timing again, as there’s been something missing in my swing and this is it, so I’ve just read in my Tiger Woods book in that he has the feeling like he’s letting his arms drop first rather than force them from the transition. Which is along the lines of what this lesson provides; only you’ve given some excellent drills to help it.
Appreciated as always!

[bobwright]

Hi Chris, been watching you for a long time now and I feel you have had an incredible impact on my play. I have a great swing angle and my club face is usually square. My question is or my concern is...I don't feel I'm striking the ball as effectively as I should be. When I'm on the course, I'll duff shots I normally crush on the range. Is it just practice, practice, practice?

[jamesbramwell]

Good video mate. I’ve suffered with this a bit and I think you summed it up very well at the beginning of the video.

You look like you’ve lost some timber as well 👌

[jaylevzi]

Great video, I am one of those that suffers with the red mist at the top of the backswing, and fire the clubhead at the ball from the start. Probably why I duff so many

[randyyoung]

Awesome tips! Is it ok to always lift the left heel? Does it cost distance or any other negative result lifting the left heel always?
