HOW TO STOP YOUR OVERSWING

[@joeallison5916]

Dude, 25 years of trying to figure this out! Fixed in 5 minutes! You are the KING!

[@markmclaughlin5924]

Thank you Chris, I've overswing for years, resulting in an over the top swing path. I've had countless lessons but never been told why or how my body gets into that position. After seeing this video and understanding cause it's apparent why I would come over the top. I've made some swing changes and within two weeks I've shot my best round ever in twenty years of playing (74) and regained lost power in my longer clubs. Thank you so much. I'm a 12 HC currently.

[@TheBabooner]

I second that. 10 years overswinging without understanding why. I still overswing but at least i know why :)

[@matthewberger9521]

Same here. No one could ever explain what I was doing to make this happen. I'm a 6 HCP, and if I could just fix this damn overswing I feel like I could get to scratch. Thank you sir.

[@michaelnicholson5890]

I've been asking overswing problem to number of pros and searching for tons of videos but nobody exactly know why. Now I found it here. Simple and logical explanation. Thank you

[@bjaustin5995]

Hands down the best overswing vid on KZbin. Thank you!

[@mwb5010]

5 handicap suffering from an over swing for 15 years. No one could figure me out and one pro actually gave me my money back and said “that’s a tough one.” This tip fixed me and has lead to some of my best ball striking in my life.

[@tubularsensation]

Some of, if not, the best golf instruction I've heard in a long time! Bravo! Why anyone would give this a thumbs down is way beyond my comprehension, thank goodness!

[@johnpanico5304]

Only people tho disliked are the ones who still can’t fix their swing

[@darcaleedebogorski6076]

You are jus brilliant! I have been struggling with this for so long. I am a 13 handicap golfer so I have made my method work, but I will never reach my potential until I can fix my over swiping. When I try to shorten it is seems sooo short. What you showed me in this video has opened my eyes, and I know I will be able to make this change now. Thank you for all your awesome videos. They are all game changers!!

[@grahamford2879]

Chris, this is a massive revelation. Been playing for 30 years and didnt realise this. Thanks SO much. Keep up the great work!

[@larryfine4498]

Great visual aid. Lots of golf videos out here, but this one really clarifies what the flying elbow is all about and how to control it. Great job, Chris.

[@kcf5774]

Thank you, Chris! I have a such terrible overswing due to the "open right shoulder". This video will absolutely helps me!

[@LoR2023]

Best golf instruction out there by far. Great way of simplifying the swing. Thank you.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks and appreciate the comments 👍

[@jerrybucci2101]

Excellent point. I have been over swinging all my life and never heard of such a simple cure. For decades(literally), I have been trying to correct it by trying to keep my left arm straight, but it's not the culprit, so this makes absolute sense. THANKS so MUCH!

[@dannygil7027]

Chris - The way you explain this is perfect! Easy to understand and perfect for a visual learner! Thank you

[@sonnymac864]

Chris, When you break things down they become so easy to understand. Keep up the good work, something else for me to work on.

[@rcw_92]

I'm currently down at The Belfry most Tuesdays and I started working on this exact thing with Phil Akers last Tuesday! Very helpful Chris, thank you! See you around!

[@paultaylor2997]

This looks very good to me . . . . . Lots of folks talk about flattening left wrist or cupping the right wrist, analogy of holding a tray etc, but this does this for your and is a more likely fix for the fault . . . .

[@adl9705]

this is by far the best instruction i have seen on youtube, hands down. i started looking at pga golfer swings and i have yet to find 1!!! freaking golfer that doesnt have their right arm in front of their body. of course the swing looks like a full swing but thats given their ability to turn their shoulder and i dont have hald the flexibility so why would i want to turn as much. absolutely best advise! happy 2019! i will keep you update on how i progress with this tip. thank you,

[@shurikendos]

Chris, I have been struggling with inability to "sit" the club properly at the backswing, I tried slowing down the downswing but I think this video is the exact tip I need to do to stop my club swaying at the end of my backswing, thank you Chris.

[@joanaustin6743]

Thank you for explaining! I used to have this problem but then shortened my back swing and was doing pretty well for a couple of years. The problem has come back this year and I cannot seem to stop it. I will try your drills and hope to get back to where I was before!

[@dustychapman1075]

This is a great video. Never realized how important the right elbow is. Cheers

[@rayhong777]

Thanks Chris! I just wish I had seen this 4 years ago when it was first posted.

[@matthewgrandison8794]

This video made me realize how much I was overturning on my backswing, which leads to fat shots or pull hooks. I have been practicing this for weeks and now I have been striking the ball much better, my goal is to beat my best score, 83, before the end of the year. Thanks Chris, if you were close to me I would take some lessons.

[@JMAC85]

Great Video Chris! This never used to be an issue with my swing in years past. But now that I’m trying to play a lot more this Summer after only playing once a year the last 3. It’s become like the plague. Thanks.

[@luanvietphat6760]

Thanks for your very clearly and shortly clip helping me find out the way to fix my over backswing!

[@B8kedBean]

Great vid i have heard so much false info about why i have a massive overswing and this is actually the reason, can now make a shorter swing without ruining the sequences

[@anthonymedland3984]

An area where I really struggle! thankyou for giving us a some understanding of how to cure the overswing fault. As always great content.

[@incyphe]

youtube's best golf video... and I must've seen 1000 of them so far. One suggestion... when you swing, show regular speed version, as well as slow down version. :-D

[@2009ericwong]

Absolutely the best video to fix my loooong term problem. I always thought it's my hip overturn to make the over backswing. Thank you so much Chris!!!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Eric 👍

[@frankv7256]

Man, I wish you lived in Toronto Canada. Need a coach like you.

[@damiansonofsantana]

I have been looking for this all my life

[@scottwalker3822]

Cheers Chris just the drill I was searching for. Great example of cause and effect well explained much appreciated 👍🏻.

[@TheLastBabyBoomer]

Overswing fixed immediately, backed up by video. Thank you very much.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks John

[@awanumbaran777]

This is very good to me. A simple concept that easy to grasp n replicate, i will try and hopefully will work fine

[@rpcrev]

Hi Chris thanks for another great video. You mentioned that this produces a nice 3 quarter swing. Also that was good for a mid iron. Would you not do a full swing on mid irons and how would this fit with a full swing.? Thanks again for the great advice.

[@TruthDefender]

you should have more than 106k sub. youre one of the best online golf coach here on youtube

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks appreciate that 👍

[@steveevans444]

I was just working on this at the range today. It helps stop crossing the line.

[@deweyedwards564]

Really a great video to know where to set your arms, thanks!

[@mollydooka17]

Thanks Chris, watching this video has made me realise that I have been inadvertently letting my trail arm (left arm, I'm a leftie, the "forgotten" golfers 😁) get behind me instead of staying in front of my chest as you so capably demonstrated. That in itself I think has contributed to a collapsing lead arm (right arm for me); was horrified to see when I filmed myself yesterday that the lead arm was bent into almost a right angle, and I thought it was straight! 😆😔

[@franfoley1362]

Great tips, can’t wait to share with my grandson!

[@mikemills6553]

Very good well explained video will make a huge difference.

[@uvyas76]

Very helpful video! Thank you!

[@mattparsons946]

Completely agree. Incredible for instant feedback.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+uvyas76 thanks

[@george888]

helpful as always, thank you Chris

[@harvey785]

Great video - this is my biggest flaw, I shall definitely be working on this!

[@davewinter1350]

Absolutely awesome drill I have never ever seen that before and hopefully that will cure my slight over swing !!! Can you help with my wrists collapsing at the top of the swing causing me to come Across the line ? Thanks Chris . Kind regards Dave

[@scott1993]

Explained perfectly! 👏 Thank you

[@clickedyclicky]

This was the best! thanks Chris! regards from Sweden

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Jimmy 👍

[@realitymovies]

One of best tutorials

[@DanLovesLaksa]

Hi Chris can you do the same drill for a driver swing. I cant seem to stop over rotating in my back swing. Think John Daley only with no talent.

[@jonathanmebane3782]

Amazing explanation

[@centereddev]

more great tips, love your channel. My problem is that when I try to bring it back shorter, my hands feel weak for some reason through impact

[@MartinAguirre-od9zi]

Hola!! Soy instructor de argentina. Me gustó mucho lo didáctico!!

[@spizza991]

BRILLIANT LESSON !!!!

[@Mr.Big33]

Very good concept on connection, thanks!

[@ra1279]

Thank you, Chris. I have been struggling mightily recently and I've noticed two things. One, I can see the driver clubhead in my backswing because my backswing has become so long. Two, I've also noticed my elbow bending. I can now see they are connected. Thanks. I'll work on it today.

[@RidinWithDannyB]

I didn't even realize I had this problem. Once again...great instructions.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Danny 👍

[@stephenpoole3923]

Nice drill Chris.

[@marklynd2039]

How do you stop shoulder retracting outside of that position what drills chris

[@clutchplaya1]

very helpful video, thanks Chris!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+Wesley B thanks Wesley

[@martindkelly]

great video Chris

[@RaffiKhatchadourian]

Chris, I have this problem with "opening" my right shoulder and having my right elbow too far away from me in the back swing. Keeping my right elbow in front of me is difficult. Do you recommend something like the tour striker "smart ball" to help with this? My guess is that it won't help me because I also have no problem moving my left arm in together with my right arm, but I just wanted to check. Thanks!

[@MB-xx6xc]

Awesome video! Thank you!

[@bamplanter]

Is it also useful for driver and wood??

[@Metal1412]

Really Good! Thank you! I overswing! This helps.

[@garyfosberg6643]

I have seen the light that video has changed my world

[@cyrilchauchis6113]

Brillant explanation. Sûre il will help . Thanks’Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Cyril

[@sontan3124]

does this apply to the driver as well? i sometimes have a flying elbow

[@andreysto1202]

Does the same apply to driver, Chris?

[@legendaary0341]

Awesome video!

[@josephwurm7852]

this is exactly what i needed

[@monyet82]

thank you Chris, as always very helpful information for weekend golfer like me.

[@enterpriseinfinite4900]

Does this Technic applies to driver ?

[@nosensenonsensecommonsense6347]

Do you feel you get more distance with this arm position? I'll like if you respond.

[@motoxxx82going2race]

Chris this is ben myers wondering if can explain how the left arm moves I think I've got the wrong ideal feels like my left arm is stuck

[@andriek237]

what about driver Chris? Great video

[@billg2559]

Great info!

[@jedigunn]

Is this concept applied to driver swing, as well? I think so, but I'd like to check.

[@tyroneburge1603]

Could you do a video on direction of shots how you would line up to hit it in the direction you want to go.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+Tyrone Burge thanks Tyrone will try to film something along these lines soon

[@tyroneburge1603]

ChrisRyanGolf thanks Chris 👍🏻

[@dougierobertson2099]

I won’t know until the range opens tomorrow but you may have shown me the holy grail.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Douglas hope it helped 👍

[@RaffiKhatchadourian]

Did it help?

[@dougierobertson2099]

Raffi Khatchadourian on the range definitely but on the course under pressure the old swing keeps popping up.

[@darrelloldfield4302]

Is it different when using a driver?

[@giuliopetrella512]

no

[@longgamegolffitness85]

Where has this video been the last 20 years I’ve struggled with a long swing

[@KidScipio]

how do i rotate more. just keep stretching ?

[@Justwanthavefun_100]

Good advice and practice drill

[@stevefeder613]

same drill for a driver in contrast to irons??

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hi Steve, yes the same applies to driver here 👍

[@RaffiKhatchadourian]

@@ChrisRyanGolf But is 3/4 back enough for a driver?

[@anggorowidjanarko7223]

Thank you..

[@Iversonwings1]

Brilliant

[@Sevemac]

I wish I’d seen this aeons ago! You have simplified my bete noir, thank you so much. This COVID thing has its upside. Once again you’ve clarified very muddy waters, keep up the good work.

[@satts1949]

Excellent@

[@autry2012]

Could I apply that for my Driver?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Yes absolutely 👍

[@adrianjones5521]

Fantastic!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+Adrian Jones thanks Adrian

[@adrianjones5521]

ChrisRyanGolf I struggled with this and wasn't sure how to fix it. This video going straight into the archive!

[@danielvalentin9794]

Would this also apply when utilizing a driver? It seems the same principle applies.

[@kennethlemire]

If you’re right handed close your left eye and make sure your right eye stays on the ball that will stop your over swing. Obviously the opposite if you’re lefty

[@neutrino61]

Awesome video! Suck in every session you post! Very helpful! Dr Q from Germany

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

+Dr. Helmut Queckenstedt thanks, glad you liked the video

[@MrQuachBinh]

Excellence

[@insufficientfunds5603]

If you go to my channel you can see my massive overswing. I'm going to try this. Thinking about it I saw a practice session where ricky fowler was doing this but, with a golf club in hand. He would lift the club straight up from a dress, turn and swing.

[@roberthelliesen4230]

This video just shaved six strokes off my game. I've been doing it wrong the whole time

[@johnwayne3144]

Golf swing hard drive

[@mrr4979]

Finish watching within 40 seconds.

[@nixh6488]

Why does it look soooo windy but those turbines ain't budged the whole video?

[@patrikstreng6834]

Tell that to John Daly :)

[@kenly8902]

Your videos are a bit irritating when you kept on making that sound with swallowing yourself.

[@anonymous1aoLang]
