What a great descriptive! Step by Step process and easy to understand. No time wasted on talking about what others do wrong, a great focus on How To!

[@dloc2907]

Wow Chris!! This video is the easiest to follow for wrist interaction. I have struggled with this my whole 20year golf life. I can't wait to try this out at the range.

[@Davidevans44]

Excellent Ryan, I have now been approximately 50 years on 5 handicap and IMVHO, this is one the great lessons of the thousands that people can get lost in on KZbin. You deal really well with the counter-intuitive, almost contradictory notion of (Not) trying to hang on to lag (we have all been down this road), while actually hanging on to the right 'wrist-set' and marrying this with rotation of arms and body...well I don't think you don't mention the body rotation, but you clearly demonstrate it over and over again throughout the video. I'm not sure how many 20 handicappers will fully get their heads around this, or realise just good the advice is and how much time it would save them if they just followed this advice, but i think lower handicap players who have already done the '10,000 hours' will immediately see how important this is. If I wasn't in Kenya, I would definitley be booking a lesson! Again, excellent, thanks

[@robertho1770]

Another masterpiece Chris. For the first time I realize how soft and relax the right hand grip has to be in order to achieve the full upcocking of the wrist and form the 90 degrees between club and forearm. For the first time I am able to get the butt end pointing at the ball target line and this is a HUGE game changer for me. Once the clubhead is up the other 2 moves are so much easier to achieve . Thank you again 🙏🙏🙏

[@milesaltman3503]

Nice visuals that align directly with what I’ve worked in with my coach the last two lessons. Once he reminded me that my athletic history is right handed and worked on getting my right hand more involved my ball striking has been better than ever.

[@grahamdennis2115]

Blimey, your last drill is difficult to achieve at full swing speed. Finally getting the hang of it and my ball flight and trajectory is so much improved. Great video, thank you.

Thank you. This is very clear to understand. With this blueprint, I will use it to work on the "inside out" swing, and the "shallow path" that should happen naturally, and not forced. Thank you, thank you !

[@relliott2837]

I think my second instructor got me into an abbreviated version of this. I did not feel comfortable but the distance was great for a short swing. That was years ago - I should have went back. Now I see how I can improve. Thank you for the excellent description Chris. You really filled in the missing pieces. I am heavier now so I'll need more quality rehearsals.

[@mandemusceasar981]

Really enjoy these deep dives into the mechanics keep them coming. I'll be down the range giving it a go later in the week too.

[@hadynmcloughlin4661]

So simple yet so helpful descriptions thank you! The 'easy swing' so many players mention is the key now has some context with the alignment tool drill. Thanks for sharing

[@luisviveros1183]

This is video helped me so much you don’t understand. Been struggling for weeks with my irons. Was looking for someone to break it down in this way and following your steps helped me tremendously!

[@rogerpianoking1945]

Fantastic videos by Chris showing how good a coach he is and also that most people can play better golf if they are shown the correct techniques. Golf is a difficult game as we all know, so you have to follow certain rules to play better and be more consistent. I was amazed just how far I could hit a 4 iron bladed club, half swing with the correct downswing and wrist action making sure the club is swung in to out. The club hitting the bag on the downswing is a great drill on his other videos gives great feel and with this video on correct hand wrist position. Well done to Chris. 👍

[@user-wo7ce8uh5i]

Chris, I’ve been playing for 60 years. I was a fairly successful flipper of the club. However your video successfully gave me the feel of the club head. I can’t thank you enough. I’m a 6 handicap but I hope to be scratch by year’s end( putting permitting)

[@Crumbleofborg]

Thanks for this. A light dawns! Lose this angle but hang onto that one. Love it, going to have a practice session with this idea.

[@wayneg457]

This is the one that actually transformed my golf swing, just as it said on the tin. Guys, take this comment with a pinch of salt. I watched other videos around the same time with similar perspectives on this principle, and I was at the right place in my game where I was ready to receive this. But this video was my ‘click’ moment on the range. Golf friends, take this, work it out, and don’t be afraid to increase your swing speed what feels like 2x or 3x… keep your sternum on the low point and just rip it. Wow. It makes all the difference when you feel like you are already going to get good contact, almost locked in. Then you can take your swing to bigger places. More speed, more width back and through. This has changed my golf.❤❤

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Wow great to hear and really glad the video has helped, appreciate the kind words 🙏🏻

[@svenv4122]

Great video again, so easy to understand the moment of the swing.

[@GT705]

Thank you. That was an exceptionally articulate explanation of how the right wrist should move throughout the swing.

[@sepetisionelatu5539]

The last video of yours l watched was how the right hand behaves in the swing and that was awesome this one is another one because l experienced how good it is when l accidentally swing effortlessly and smoke the ball like butter but l don't know l the hell l did it but now l know and thank you.

[@kenboyer8635]

Great video. I think with the modern swing and a more closed club face going back, the right arm can get out of position pretty easily.

[@ev588]

Great lesson, ... can't wait to test your teaching. I am struggling with that right arm since my beginning. Its misuse caused my body drop to the right, and as a consequence shooting high balls, at least I think so. No coach has been able to spot and correct this.

[@mikecrosbie5850]

Chris thank you, I have worked in China for the last 7 years and as such have found it impossible to find a coach. I have followed your tuition on youtube and today was the light bulb moment. I have struggled to understand the release, Switching from each hand as the dominant one. today's video has just explained it perfectly and I've been striking the ball so beautifully. I can't thank you enough. cheers China Mike.

[@christophermonnikendam5326]

Great video!!! Do you adjust the last drill for different clubs to account for the different shaft lengths? For example, it would seem that a driver would hit the stick on the way to the ball.

Happens to us all my brother. I'm a old d1 golfer that played for Clemson University in the early 2000s and was in a bad accident. Well I found my way back to golf again and let's just say it was beyond frustrating coming back knowing how I used to play. It's definitely a battle but I believe you got this.

[@christiangeller1414]

Sehr gutes Video, für mich echt ein "Magic Move" 👍

[@stickgs]

So, Chris, Do you consciously think of cocking your wrists at a certain point in your back swing? Or is it a natural movement that occurs if the grip on the club is correct and not too tight?

Thanks Chris … great video … !!

[@ufukgoksu9851]

Hi Chris, just for clarification please: so the right wrist goes back (folds back) and " UP" as well in backswing. Is this correct with UP. (power) ?

[@mikerodrick2430]

I just watched Pete Cowen give a lesson to an instructor & this is exactly what he was stressing but also included rotating the forearm while holding the wrist angle back to cover the ball which seems would take perfect timing an not be easily repeatable other than for advanced players. What are your feelings about this? I guess it's basically throwing the trail arm? He said this is why Hogan said he'd like to have 3 right arms.

[@jmack619]

Yes, that was a great eye opener ! With Danny Maude. And for decades, we have been told ...the right arm just goes along for the ride!

[@Ulster2]

I watched that video and was confused by the advice “ spin the right arm”. I assumed this meant a rotation of the forearm. However later on in the video I felt he was against forearm rotation. I have yet to see a PC instruction video that was absolutely clear. I always get the feeling it’s delivered in a cryptic manner.and the student is afraid to question the teacher. From his track record however PC gets results others don’t so why would he give it all away for free. 😀

[@mikaelmalmberg154]

@@Ulster2Totally agree.. didn’t understand it either.. 😮

[@simmo5071]

Danny Maude brings us the best in golf instruction.

[@harold4506]

Peter also said that "99℅ of golfers on tour were manipulating the clubface", (not holding the angle( which means the alternative to his Hogan theory is pretty successful.

[@golferiam6533]

I thought this was the best explanation of what the trail arm/hands are doing in a proper golf swing. The last "step", rotating the arms, you mentioned very briefly the arm rotation is from the shoulder...but that was it...nothing more. Correct me if I am wrong, but doesn't the body rotation during the downswing effectively rotate the trail arm which needs to be coordinated with the actual rotation of the arm unit? How does one coordinate the degree of the body rotation and the arm rotation to match the correct swing direction? In the last rod drill you showed, there seems to be a lot of distance to over or under rotate either the body and/or the arm. True? Is it then a matter of timing the rotation by feel/instinct/athleticism?

[@mattwuest4173]

Fantastic video, Chris. One of your best. Added distance to each of my clubs! One question: when I hold that trail wrist angle and then release it as you said, I find myself flipping my wrist “under,” such that my palm almost faces up after release. Any tips for turning that wrist over?

[@quantumpotential7639]

You gotta spread the butter over the ball with palm oil, palm down through the chicken wing.

[@juanbotha6634]

Hi, at address, is the left wrist setup for RH golfer with some ulnar deviation or radial deviation? I saw a video recommending some ulnar and during takeaway hinging to neutral. This has reduced some of my wrist pain in left hand as I started at address with more radial. Thanks

I’d like to add all of this starts with a player having a swing on plane. What if the player takes the club inside or outside how does what you are sharing apply to all of these players. I believe it would make it more problematic! Can you do this video with both swing plane flaws ? And solutions please 🙏

[@xpress7578]

Chris It all comes from the right wrist folding back. Everything follows.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Great video as always but I have to disagree with one thing you said at 5:00, "You've got to control the clubface." The golf club is a marvel of engineering which is why is hasn't changed it's basic design in 400 years - because it works. Every golf club, when swung properly, is self correcting and will close naturally through impact if allowed. Any attempt to "control" that will disrupt it and most likely either prevent it from happening completely or at the proper time. There's just no way to "control" the clubface when the club is moving at 80 to 100 mph. Sorry, but this idea of "controlling" the clubface is why so many people struggle with golf. They think the golf club is a mindless stick with a lump of metal on the end that they have to manipulate in order to make the ball go where they want. In reality the golf club is genius in it's engineering so much so that it's invisible to the average user. This is why a child can pick up a club and use it perfectly within 30 minutes, yet adults struggle for years and never get it right.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey, appreciate your comments but we will have to disagree on this one then. The club face in my opinion is not self correcting and I do believe you have to learn to control it. There are some great studies out there from the likes of Jacob’s 3D and other experts who can measure just what ‘work’ the golfer has to do to the golf club, and it’s significant. It shows just what you the golfer have to do in order to move the club, it’s 100% down to the golfer and those studies also show what the club would do without the intervention of the golfer, and it would not return anywhere near square, but great discussion point

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@ChrisRyanGolfThat's interesting. I'm going to look into that. Do you have any links you could share? BTW, have you heard of the Rake effect? That's the force that closes the clubface. I proved this is true by making a club where the clubhead is free to swivel on the shaft and I can still hit balls with it.

[@Ulster2]

@@HolyGrailOfGolf . I made a crude version of club you demonstrated and could not believe the way the clubhead acted given it was not being directly influenced by any outside action. You should do another video on that.

[@junesgirl22]

[@rodleiva5404]

Ever since Pete Cowen showed Danny Maude the importance of the right arm, every other youtuber has been coping the lesson.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

An easy assumption to make Rod, however I’m pretty sure Danny’s video was released on the Saturday and mine on the Sunday, weekends for me are family days, no work so whilst there is no shame is creating similar content based off others, that’s not the case here, my videos are filmed around a month ahead of schedule so I had no idea Danny was releasing that video

[@fb_777]

Hello Chris, now I am really confused. 10 days ago the exercise was no wrist (umbrella drill); today it is wrist movement all over the place What is correct?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey Frank, appreciate that the message may seem confused, this video was detailing how the right arm and wrist should move in the golf swing, the various movements that it has and what they do in the golf swing. The previous umbrella drill was a fix for a golfer who gets the right arm too deep in the backswing with the right elbow moving too far behind the body, if you suffer from that fault then that is a great drill, but only if you struggle with that move. In that umbrella drill the movements in this video were still present, just a little less wrist set, but that was a drill and often a drill is to create the opposite move, or to create an extreme movement in order to change a poor movement. Hope that makes sense, essentially this video applies to everyone, the previous video would only really apply if you suffer from that exact fault. chris

[@fb_777]

The answer 777 is - not this. Not the answer at all. Far too complex. And I would say incorrect as well.
