Published 2024-06-13
In this lesson I want to keep things really simple and teach you exactly how to fire the arms in the downswing so that you can take this information and drill to improve your swing right away. You will first learn the basketball throw drill which quickly gives you the exact feel that you will need in your downswing before then learning how to transfer this to a golf swing.
This drill and lesson can help you eradicate slice shots, fat shots, standing up through the ball plus many more of the faults that you may experience, this drill and exercise has helped so many of my students hit it better than ever so i'm confident that it can do the same for you
As always I really hope you find some value in this lesson and id love to hear your thoughts in the comments and ill get back to you as soon as I can

This lesson led me to make better contact and straighter shots. I had to feel the dropping of the hands before turning. That’s just the feel for me. Probably because I was so used to turning from the top with shoulders. Another benefit of this lesson is that forces you to have patience at the top of the backswing leading to a better synchronization. Thank you Chris.

Another excellent tutorial Chris. Don’t know chat happened about 8 minutes in, but you were talking about the pump drill and the video went back to you throwing a basketball into the ground
-
One of the best videos on this channel.

Starting to see a shift in golf swing instruction reflecting what pros actually do - no more holding on to lag and letting your arms “naturally” come down with the pivot - I mean how the hell are they supposed to do that! Wish I had lessons like this when I started out golf, great vid and simply explained
-
I think this is the most important lesson you can get for proper ball contact. Well done again Chris. Brilliant teacher 👏
-
Watched this before going to the range this morning and helped so much. You explained this very clear. Helped me to keep the club even or behind my hands at half down swing. I didnt realise I was getting the head of the club in front of my hands until I looked at this at the range. I actually thought I had that sorted in my swing. I added in three pumps on the down swing to make sure I as aligned before hitting the ball. And helped me to understand the role of the arms/hands and turn in the swing.

Excellent video. Down & around all in one. Nice.
-
All of this can be solved by standing 5" farther from the ball. The standard setup makes you COMPENSATE for standing too close. With your lead hand in full ulnar deviation, bend until the heel of your club is at the ball. Now you have room to let your trail elbow clear the hip without all the contortions. It's simpler, will save your back, and improve your swing. It's called the Single Plane Swing.

Brilliant stuff, thanks Chris.! I was once told to "rake down the imaginary wall" behind me, but that just didn't work as it was too much to connect with the body turn - but this looks very doable. I also now get why I've been pulling a lot of shots left by turning my shoulders too early. Thanks!
-
It’s finally clicked in my head. Can’t wait to get on the range now. Thanks Chris your explanations are so simple and clear
-
Brilliant 👏🏻 Genius 🎉
-
Excellent vid! Tx Chris. I use a lot of the drills you demonstrate and have improved my feel for throwing the xlubhead which has improved my ball striking, consistency and distance control - even out of the sand. I have much tighter dispersion patterns, too. But then again, I tend to practice regularly and always use drills and practice aids to improve. My golf buds call that "cheating" - 🤔

Don't want to jinx it, but had far and away the best ball striking nine holes of my life after watching this. Hit five of my last six GIR and was 15 feet away putting from the fringe on the sixth as a low 20s handicap and never felt so good standing over the ball using this as my swing thought
-
this is an interesting one
-
Wow this is amazing!! Total game changer 🎉🎉🎉🎉
-
How good is this? I'm struggling so much with my golf and getting despondent but after watching this i feel i want to get back on the course and try again. Thanks
-
Best downswing drill for me ever!!! Thanks Chris. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 I suppose same mechanics work for driver to.
-
Nice one Chris, thanks. Notice a slight difference between when you say straight down or just down vs what you really do and what your graphics show. @1:18 & @4:35 the direction of the lines are not vertical but slightly diagonal. When you move your arms with zero body turn, the ball and clubhead move out from your heels to infront of your toes. The key thing I notice is your right elbow moves from your side shirt seam to more infront of of core in a slight diagonal fashion.
-
This drill was amazing! I went to the range and honestly my ball striking improved! I had a few bad weeks and lost my swing but this brought it back and made me understand rotation is key rather then throwing arms at it!
-
Extremely effective illustration of how arms should pretty much be responsible for moving club up and down and the body for moving it back and forward. I'm keen on getting it right with a basketball before trying with a golf club. Great video.
