How to Sequence Backswing to Impact

[@tanhocklim6866]

Good teacher.Straight to the point.No gibberish talk like so many golf videos .

[@michaelsenft3608]

You are an amazing instructor. I don’t know whether it is your marketing background, or the fact that you didn’t pick up the game early in life, but you understand the key cues that other instructors take for granted and therefore, cannot address for the beginner and high handicapper. No other instructor gets what you cover in this video. Great stuff, and you are a pleasure to watch for many reasons. Keep up the great work.

[@tombain5665]

Christina great instructors have great empathy with their students. Great instruction, for a lot of us, the only teacher you need

[@paulbillingham6769]

Just to say thanks Christina for your explanatory skills which led to me getting an Eagle on a par four (8 iron from 130 yds out) after watching a couple of your videos and practicing your instructions. What a thrill!

[@MorePars]

That is awesome!

[@MorePars]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@timwong2436]

Best description of the down swing with plenty of options to choose from. Trying to find the best trigger for me. THANKS..... GREAT VIDEOS!

[@chetlockwood1491]

Adding the Slo-Mo snippets really helps in seeing what's happening, Thank You !!!!! Excellent Video !!!!

[@kenlamb5697]

Great tips. I really appreciate the multiple tips to choose from.

[@Driver411]

Excellent tip! You are my favorite, amazing instructor ❤😊

[@jackgreer9153]

Incredible video on the transition from top of swing to impact. I will watch this video repeatedly to help cure my over the top move.

[@beegee22]

Love it. At one point or another each I've found each of these on the range. Two of them together seem to help me most - start down before the backswing is at the top, and plant the left heel firmly. There's a lot to keep in place during the swing, and you simplify it. Thanks!

[@kenlamb5697]

Offering multiple feels is great. It gives me options to try if one thing doesn't work. Great video. Can't wait to see which one works best. Thanks

[@jamesbond4633]

Wiser words have rarely been spoken for not only golf but life in general: .."all trying to accomplish the same thing ...folks just get there differently"!!!!!!!

[@carlosvalderaduey620]

I adore how clear do you explain things and concepts Chris. I would remark that you help everybody (high handicaps included). To me personally the 5th tip is also the one who helps me more. My teacher says that in reality I don’t advance but as I have that feeling I can “come from inside” and starts movement with the body which is the key of all of this.

[@alaeddinbaghdadi1112]

Thank you very much for all the cues and the performances

[@JCGlock87]

These are excellent tips as always. It’s always nice to start my morning with coffee and Christina.

[@fluxfotos22]

Brilliant coaching from one of the best l have ever seen.

[@Christine-ry1qq]

I’ve just played today with 3 guys all scratch to 6 players Felt very intimidated for first couple of holes Then I remembered you We get there differently!!! Just played within my self ... my game ... stayed focussed and strategic .... I short 86 on par 72 on course I’ve never played b4 Very happy 😃 playing off 12 Thanks for being out there with me hun lol 😂

[@ScottWexler]

How does your "lean in" differ from the dreaded bump or sway? Can you elaborate a bit more and does that lean in head down the target line or towards the ball? Thanks for the great video!

[@DannyPodesta]

Christina, I have been watching and applying your recommendations. I have been making much better ball contact. Thank you, and not trying to blow wind up your skirt.

[@ahmadghanem2414]

The eye behind the ball until after the strike was the key for me

[@uf1978]

Oh those legs!! Beautiful,smart and a good golfer!

[@1WEEBLE1]

I used this on the range today heel up then plant and rotate and it took out my slice now slight fade 6 yards at 220 yds thanks to you

[@1WEEBLE1]

I have seen enough that now i give a thumbs up and save before you start

[@LouieShelton]

THANKS FOR YOUR GREAT EFFORT IN TRYING TO HELP US HACKERS PLAY BETTER GOLF.

[@hlubmos2chah945]

I like Q1, appears to give me better tempo/ sequence with my body. Also tiny lift allows for deeper backswing. Thanks.

[@MegaTubescreamer]

👍 supercool christina ! more catch up.

[@stevehickingy9695]

Brilliant, thank you for taking the time to share this with us.

[@johnsheehan6484]

Great video! Thanks!

[@rogerking3449]

I like your lessons, thank you!

[@randygonsales2778]

Great tip thanks

[@videom]

love the tips and the outfit :)

[@scottcov56]

Hey Christina - great as always - I do enjoy your videos (and tell others about them). I bought my daughter your book for Christmas and she likes it a lot. There are thousand's of golf 'how to' videos out there. As an older new golfer (68), but in decent shape and reasonable flexibility, - I'd like to know three things to work on. I have pages of notes and it's getting overwhelming. I think my biggest issue is early extension (casting). I know ideally my hands should be in front of my right leg, and a bit low, when the club is parallel to the ground. I have made videos of my swing and I see when my hands are in front of my right leg, the club is at 45 degrees to parallel - not 90 degrees. I am taking 4 lessons - one lesson in as snow here in Colorado has prevented more lessons. I hit the ball pretty well (7 iron 160-175, 5 iron 180-200) and reasonably consistent - but my bottom line, I have too many notes and things to work on - I'd like to narrow it down to 3 things to work on. Thanks for any comments.

[@MorePars]

Without seeing your swing, I cannot advise with certainty. I do offer swing reviews. ChristinaRicciGolf.com this way I can advise properly! Otherwise, what did your Pro suggest in your last lesson?

[@shellydianenovascotia3914]

Great ideas....with someone older who doesn't have the mobility - lower back stiff - which sequence would you recommend being the easiest? Thanks for another great video.

[@김성수-d9l3k]

[memo] - 백스윙에서 임팩까지의 연결과정 - 많은 사람들이 손과 상체로써 다운스윙을 시작하는데...그들은 동작을 연결하는 과정을 잘 모르고 있다. 💎다운스윙은 다리로 시작해야 된다는 것을💎 알기는 하지만 이것을 어떤 동작으로 어떻게 해야 되는지에 대해서 몸으로 느끼지는 못 하는 것같다. 그 Cues 가운데 첫번 째 (1) 실마리는 ; 백스윙의 top으로 가면서 왼발뒤꿈치를 조금 들고, 손으로 뭘 하기 전에 왼발쪽에 압력을 가하면서 몸을 끝까지 rotate 한다. key는 손이 움직이기 전에 심는 것이다. tiny lift로 연습해본다. (2) lean and up 한다 : 앞쪽으로 살짝 기대면서 swing up 한다. (3) 대부분 손으로 다운스윙을 하려고 덤비며 머리가 앞으로 나가는데... 눈은 공의 뒤쪽을 보려고 애쓰되 머리는 뒤에 남겨둔다. 사람들은 샷의 결과가 궁금하기 때문에 공의 뒤쪽에 lead eye의 촛점을 맞추지 못한다. 공 뒤쪽에 눈의 초점을 맞추면 마음이 조용해진다. (4) 손을 높이 들어라 : 앞쪽으로 살짝 기울이면서, 손을 높이 들어 잠시 stay 하라. (5) 사람들은 각자 자신만의 Cue 가 있다. 백스윙 top에 이르기 전에 왼쪽으로 살짝 lean 하라 (Blend back & down swing) 나, 크리스티나 리치는 개인적으로는 순서에 따라서 스윙을 행한다. 백스윙 top 에 이르기 전에 lean을 시작하는 것이 나의 취향이다. *백스윙을 65% 했을 때에 lean을 시작하여 백스윙이 85%에 이르면 더 이상 기댈 것이 없게 된다. 이 때까지 체중을 다 옮긴 것이다.이것이 key 이다. 백스윙을 완성하기 전에 다운스윙을 blend 한다. 압력을 가하는 것이 체중이동은 아니다. 압력을 오른쪽다리로 옮기면서 top에 도달하고 .. 그러고선 앞쪽/왼쪽으로 체중을 옮긴다. 백스윙이 완성되기 전에 lean을 시작한다. 1) lift lead heel 2) lean up, entire lead side leans 3) lead eye on the back of the ball 4) hands stay put 5) blend back & downswing (before getting to the top)

[@bernardpeyton108]

Hi Christina, Can you use more than one sequence ques? For example, lift left heel and eye behind back of ball.

[@rikkousa]

It would be interesting to compare all of these different ways to “feel” the right sequence in video. I would not be surprised if all of the swings looked the same, they just have different ways of feeling and how you get through impact. :)

[@mirandaslaats1342]

Great video, you have such a good explanation of feels!! 👍 Lean in before backswing is complete feels not natural for me. My swing sequence does not belong, I tried but it does not work for me. But that is my problem. Thankss

[@Rick102667]

Great golf tips, is the lean in similar to the hip bump ? Thank you.

[@MorePars]

Hi Rick - Yes the Lean and Bump are the same!

[@paulwilson774]

Great variety of options, more couches should have this in there coaching, instead of being 1 dimensional 👍🏾

[@billhill4929]

It’s really good stuff

[@barriepayne6200]

Fabulous again Christina, even the golf,do you play of scratch?

[@Brian-wg9wk]

great tips and you hit the ball very solid. Whenever I shift forward, I can't keep my head from going with my body, advice?

[@nkutnikar]

great instructor, !

[@VimMitt]

If i lean early before backswing is completed, i notice i do not have enough time to rotate shoulders in backswing.

[@thomasfraser9072]

Options, options and more options to initiate our down swing. We simply have to see which one of the good 5 ones you recommend works for us as individuals . Just know that all of them requires timing and some control regardless of which one we choose. So having said this i recently discovered the ‘Push/Push’ method of golf. Simply push your body back in a circular direction with the power of your imaginary 2 lead hands and allow the other parts of your body to push back and rotate as they naturally follow the lead of you lead left hand pushing your body back. At the top of your swing push forward with the power of your imagery 3 trail hand and allow the other parts of your body to follow the lead of pushing forward right to the finish of your swing with the same power lead by your 3 right hand. It may sound insane and stupid; but it works. Because as we push back with our lead hand our trail hand and side are actually pulling back rotationally with the same 2 handed power of our lead hand at the exact same moment. And the reverse is true with our down swing. As Hogan once said on the Ed Sullivan Show: Now isn’t that simple! It Works as it accomplishes automatically any one of the 5 good tips your recommend. Cheers

[@thomasfraser9072]

More Pars Golf let me know what you think. Cheers

[@arthurgipson7593]

Christian I watch your lessons on line up and setup, ball positions went to the course shot 1 over on front nine which is a par 35, I am n love with your lessons.

[@tomblanton8276]

[@nige99]

Very good Christina but your left heel stayed put on the last swing you did !

[@carwai]

Thank you! I’ve been watching you for a year and have learned SO MUCH! Can you teach us why the ball comes off like a bullet to the left? XO

[@lindakilgore2298]

I'm having a cognitive dissidence moment....can/will the head stay still/centered leaning into lead side?

[@charlesgrant251]

What happened to the squat down?

[@MorePars]

Squat and Extend is part of the Lean -- Rotate--Extend!

[@ricardofuentes5561]

En españo

[@simonlkcheung]

That is not "TINY" in the real swing!!

[@DEJLRE]

What golf ! Cutest legs ever. I know, shameless!
