How you use your arms and shoulders in the downswing is critical for transferring speed into the golf ball at just the right time. In this video golf instructor Chris Tyler will show you a drill to help you get it all timed up perfectly.

Hey Chris , great stuff as always! Quick thought . I always have a short backswing w irons. Just always thought to have my underarms connected. I am thinking if that was a " fault" in a swing. Now thinking for me in golf is a real killer but wanted to know. Keep up the great work !
Clear … concise …and practical … thanks for sharing … I subscribed …
Just played here last Tuesday! Nice course!
That’s a great way to shank it 😂
Thanks Chris
Really appreciate the right field concept, I tend to use with driver and woods, but neglect with irons. Obviously this is causing me inaccurate contact and direction. Great content and exercises
Good vid. Last summer, I took an old set of clubs and spent the morning throwing them as far as I could. I could test all kinds of technique and it taught me a ton, including the importance of delaying my wrist break, forgetting about my arms and relying on my legs & torso. I strike the ball better now than ever, but the range manager banned me for life. 🙂 I''m serious about the striking.
I don't know. This guy has his system and he articulates it for sure. Interesting ideas but in my opinion, too much talking. Personally I would watch old tapes of a young Jack Nicklaus over and over and over again. If you get into a habit of thinking all the time about some position, you will be playing from your head and if your in your head all sorts of things can happen.
totally agree on the baggy pants thing Chris! Good lesson – thanks
good lesson, made my swing simple. I tried, no more fat shots. Thanks!
Thanks!
Having watched a number of your videos I compliment your teaching style- you are showing exactly how to develop a foundation golf swing. Absent that progression is effectively impossible with it the player is limited only by athletic ability and determination. This is the best basic skills acquisition teaching I have seen on you tube. Thanks –
Golfers who think you can watch a great pro like Jack Nicklaus and copy his moves in the downswing to become better golfers are misguided. That is because there is a difference between "feel" and "real." For example, in order to get the club square at impact you cannot just copy Nicklaus' position at P6 and move your body and hands so the club is on plane and squares up. That is because when you are swinging at any speed, the club will not move in the desired path you want it too. So when Tyler tells you to "feel) like you are throwing your trail arm 40 degrees or so to the right, the motion of your lower body, particularly your straightened left leg and your left hip moving back and up, will actually pull your right shoulder, right elbow, right arm and right hand so the club face will "really" move on the desired path squarely into impact.Great athletes, and great golfers, are those who have learned how to move their body parts in ways at great speed that allow them to get the result they want!
Aww man! I just did the hanging left arm swing, brought my hips in to the motion, and boy! What a difference with power
Fabulous, simple and helpful. Going to use for warmup.
Chris,,,,,, an added wrinkle to your great work I was having trouble with gator lead arm / / I watched the video that directed me back to Go Zone and I just wasn't happy with my finish. Looked at your action very closely…..AND I was not rotating my lead shoulder enough… 🙂
Maybe I missed the " complete the full rotation dummy " excerpt. If I did excuse my wrinkle…. I didn't ??!! might want to add it in.
Awesome… In my mind you have studied.. Gravity Golf / Ballard Connections / One Move / Peter Croker and many others…. OR your just brilliant. 🙂 jim b
BTW… your covering the three basic modalities of learning / Kinesthetic Visual and Auditory… very brilliant
I struggle to throw the club. I have extreme lag but don’t release it well
Rory gives pretty good advice on this …
Have you linked all these swing videos so we know which ones to watch in what order? I just finished the back swing one and am guessing this is number 2.
Far toooo much talk – I did listen until the end because some very interesting ideas – but I continually wanted to switch off
Great succinct, progressive instruction. Not only did I subscribe, I unsubscribed guys I’ve watched for years, who tell you what to do, but don’t connect the dots of kinamatic sequence. I’ve incorrectly been trying to throw down the line AND trying to fire the wrist. Now it makes perfect sense to me. I can’t wait to work on this.
Wow. Came to this video for one thing (the subject matter) and left with a ton of nuggets. I appreciate your "ladder concept", which helped me to identify a couple of other swing issues throughout the process. Was able to fix quickly and got back on track. If all of your teaching is similar, you have a new fan in me.
Chris – very good explanation! The one thing I think might be worth expanding on is the need to pronate the trail forearm/wrist as you throw/straighten it. You allude to it in the motion you describe, but don't explicitly discuss it. Most golf instructors don't mention it at all, and I know from personal experience that without pronation, especially with a driver, the ball will be pushed to the right. Pete Cowen talks about this, but he calls it "spinning" the forearm and it's somewhat hard to understand. It would be great if you could go into it in more detail, as I think most amateurs have no idea how important it is to consistently square the club face.
Two questions for you, coach. 1) At 6:25 when you said trail elbow is “anchored” at the trail hip. Do I drop my arms from the top of the swing to the anchor spot with only gravity force and not purposely pulling down?
2) from the anchor position, do you feel like using your hip to generate power through your trail arm and throw the club to the bag . Where is the power generating from to help you throw the club? If only extend your trail forearm doesn’t feel “powerful”. Thank you!
I am dominant lefty playing golf R handed and have trouble doing this drill. Any suggestions?
This is what I do….TGM baby!!!!
Chris. Please help. You have so many great videos. But me and my wife can't just randomly binge watch them all. We need a plan. Is there a course or an order to follow?
Mucho grazias signor Coach Chris . . .
Fellow pro, I'll say we need more instruction and instuctors like this. The whole quick fix mentality is poison.
