Hi Chris, just a quick story: I was at a clay pigeon shoot. I couldn't hit a clay. The instructor said I was missing consistently to the left. He gave me a pair of glasses that blanked out my non dominant eye. I hit every clay using these glasses. I have tried the same technique whilst hitting golf balls at the range and whilst putting to good effect. Could this help others?
The best two tips which helped me with my drivers are back shoulder little bit lower and little bit moved back. Unfortuantely I struggle with irons 🙂
Very good Chris
Very good Chris
Wow wow wow… Thanks for this… Wow brilliant… Thanks again for this point
Great stuff!
Iron off deck: low point ahead of ball
Driver off tee: low point behind ball
Driving iron off tee: low point under ball?
Fantastic explanation of the "release".
Perhaps just get your set up the same for both iron and driver shot every time. Then move ball to position that suits Iron and Driver? Tee or No Tee peg. A 3 wood off the fairway with no tee, ball position near middle. Driver off a high tee, ball off the Front foot?
I tried this as it’s recommended by various instructors. It’s didn’t work for me, then I read Jack Nicklaus’ ‘Golf My Way’: he described looking at the ball with his left eye, (lead side) with his head turned slightly behind the ball. It was absolutely transformative for me.
It's not a circle, it's oval, near flat on bottom for a few inches
I'm a horrible golfer but I enjoy it and keep plugging away at it. I'll try these tips this weekend when on the range. Thanks!
Iv solved the golf swing. Nobody wants to think. They want to follow. If they do think they don't put in enough effort. I found a way to unify shaft lengths & torques, different lie angles, swing weights, wrist angles, timing, kinesiology, forces, timing of the forces and angles to apply force, causes and effects. I created a new model to explain the reality.
Excellent explanation of the release but I still don’t get how the little foam piece aides in the visualization. Regardless, this is a great tip!
I look at the ground in front of the ball when hitting 6,7,8 irons when im struggling with fat impact. Works great. Never tried it with driver looking behind the ball. Gonna try that. Thanks.
Great way of explaining Fundamental #1 – Low Point Control. Perfect explanation that gets people to focus on the SKILL of controlling where your club hits the ground and why and how it is different with the iron vs. the wood. Thank you!
Dang, I can't wait to implement this in training. I really gotta move somewhere where it's warm all the time 😅
Will give this a try for sure.
I often put a broken piece of a tee target side of ball when practicing and focus on that … helps with low point and covering the ball as I have a habit of standing up too early. On the course I try and pick a blade of grass ahead of the ball as my target.
One word of caution is in past when I have tried to get target side ball with my hips/forward shaft lean I developed a really bad hip slide and then rearwards shoulder tilt which of course meant even more far shots 😮
Call it a mini red ramp.
would it help setting up with the driver on the ground a few inches behind the ball? ie presetting the low point
What about the fairway woods? What should we be looking at?
Hi @ChrisRyanGolf, great content Coach. Might I ask what app are you using to make your content and graphic’s? Cap Cut?
As well your thumbnails! Trying to my SMM game up, and you do a great job!
It's like your brain and your body are having a conversation through a string between two cans. You're not really thinking or listening to what you're saying and your body is just kinda tagging along behind your mouth which is just kinda following the "SOP manual for golf instruction". You have yet to show what kind of impact the ball should have with the club. And that's where it all starts…and ends.
Nothing matters before the club hits the ball. Nothing else matters after the ball leaves the club.
Forget all that other shit.
Just talk about what kind of impact you need with the ball to hit good shots.
Depending on exactly which club is used.
Remembering that you need the ground under the ball to be soft to make divots.
Otherwise you have to hit your shot without taking a divot.
And the softer the ground is, the easier it is to make a divot that's too deep and too long.
So probably it would be a good idea to take as small of a divot as possible.
To just lightly brush the ground with the club. At most. Whenever you don't need to take a divot.
Nice, but all those divot hitters are ruin the golf course fairways constantly and then complaining that the course is not well maintained.
