WIDE, NARROW, WIDE GOLF SWING

When and where should you create width in the golf swing? PGA Professioanl and Senior Coach at The Belfry Chris Ryan explpains where you should try to achieve width in your golf swing and demonstrates a simple drill to help.

Hi Chris, great video, well done! Yes adding slow-mo would be nice and you might as well split the screen in two and show the two points of view from face on and down the line view while you are demonstrating that golf swing. Just an idea to make your videos even better. Cheers

Worked for me. Good simple explanation.

Hi Chris - all your videos are great but as a suggestion there are a few (like this one) that a slow-mo of the swing would add to them. Cheers

Great instruction videos. They have helped a lot. Would enjoy your thoughts on amount of spine tilt at address. Thanks!

As a senior with limited flex and a bent left arm at the top, do you recommend I try to go wider as I begin the downswing ie, pushing the handle away from me?

John Senden and Charles Howell 3 also swing this way, and they some of the best ball strikers.

Kisner does this and has no head movement. Beautiful.

I think it would be great to redo this video with all that you have learned (both golf swing and video production) over the last almost 7 years.

I think this video is confusing because it doesn't include laying off the club, which you discuss in a different video. Your hinging of the wrists on the downswing will steepen the club.

I was actually advised to get wider in the downswing to have time to square the clubface...

[tdog]

Not to critique but it stuck out at me how much axis tilt you're lacking while making that final swing, but otherwise this is a great video...

Is there a swing thought at the top of your back swing that will make you come down more narrow...I think I remember Sergio saying he feels like he's pulling down on a chain or something to that effect

[looneycollin]

Would you say the backswing is more done with the shoulders instead of the arms?

Good video in the main. However, sergio's angle on the way down is not more acute, it just appears that way due to him shallowing the shaft on the down swing. See sevam1 video on YouTube (hogans illusion) for a better visual illustration.
