C'mon, JC. Some of us are still trying to get to 225 Carry - let's not call that an embarrassing drive. :-(

[@jchowngolf]

Nothing to be embarrassed by a 225 drive. I was in my playing career when I was carrying it 225, which was a good 40-50 yards carry behind most through the air (not to mention the 300+ guys), which was indeed embarrassing for me compared to the other pros. All about the context 👍🏼

[@cjschmitt4882]

225 is embarrassing! :P

[@steveperry1344]

that's me too, i can only carry 220 but i'm 74 yrs old and that's my excuse.

[@safranic]

Women carry 3w’s further now….

@@safranic I aspire to be as good as the worst player on the LPGA Circuit :-)

[@paulh1355]

This is great. By far my favourite coach on youtube. Thanks to you (and the golf fix app) This golf season i've gone from being an "arm swinger" scoring in the hundreds to breaking 90 last week! Thanks

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud! Congrats on breaking 90! Awesome 🤙🏻

[@jonathanbattams1059]

Glad I stumbled across this video. Thought I'd try it out on the course yesterday and hit my longest drive ever, 283y down the middle. A few others not as far but keeping it in play for a change. Definitely helps stop the over the top movement which caused my inconsistencies. Hopefully it's the same then next time I'm playing 😂 Thanks for the advice

[@rickjablonski9669]

Was actually able to try this and am really loving it. I’m so much a feel player. So the technical type drills and explanations don’t always work well from me. Your drill, OTOH is very feel based and is super easy to pick up. I played yesterday for the first time since trying it. Even worked it into my pre-shot routine. Couple short backswing and turn swings. Then just step in and send it. Worked so well! More consistent contact. But the biggest thing was how effortless it feels. All while gaining distance. For instance, my 8i typically carries 165(ish). After these drills, I’ve picked up a good 10 yards. Hit a great drive on a par 5. Had 178 to the pin. Normally would pull 7i. But it just felt like too much now. Pulled 8i instead and carried it a solid 10 feet past the flag. Yet again, it felt like I wasn’t even swinging hard/fast. Absolutely love this drill and will continue using it in my pre-shot routine.

[@andrewf5210]

I do this already and still carry 208 yards max. I also hit 91% of fairways on a fairly tight course. When I play with pros or elite amateurs I'm always shocked at both how far they hit it and how far off line they are on average.

[@GRIFF22]

I've gone to this over the last month and it's been transformative. I had a PT session and my trainer basically said my hip mobility was below average, and whilst I'm lucky to be flexible to make a big backswing, my right hip goes so deep, I can't get back to be ball. A shorter swing has changed that. This is actually Jon Rahms favourite drill. One massive benefit is that because the backswing stays short, you can't really get over the top and so your swing is on plane way better.

[@jakepadgett5569]

I’m a pure arm swinger and never knew it and I consistently hit it 290+. I played with some guys on vacation and they were telling me if I ever learned how to use my legs and core that I could add 50 yards easily. I’m trying to figure it out but it’s actually hurting my game trying to use my legs and core.

[@davidhowell7401]

it's hard to start the downswing at the top before completing at the top of your backswing. But the snap-whipping action it creates. Gives so much more club speed it is amazing the carry you will get.

[@user-ey7vo5lm8c]

Thank you very much man. I love watching your videos. Looking forward to your next 😊

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud! Glad you’re enjoying them 👍🏼

[@AdmiralandHen]

Love your content JC, can't wait to try this drill.

[@jricoc3475]

When I went to one of those tech places a few years ago the Pro suggested I shorten that swing. He gave me Tony Finau as my model. This swing is a lot like that, or really just a lot like that of Jon Rahm, who despite his physical limitations, is able to generate amazing lower-body power ...

[@bougie_kenny]

When I become a better ball striker, I’m going to try this drill. Right now, still working with the chair drill - which is great by the way.

[@georgejung5429]

Chair drill?!?

[@djelalhassan7631]

Great tip, also good for accuracy

[@joelb099]

what would your numbers be if you would have taken your normal LONGER backswing ????

[@Floki6753]

Brilliant idea, i do this 2morro! crazy how we always go bananas, without even get the fundamentals right lol..like its mad practise full swing without getting halfswing right first, but were just human..tnx for reminder😆 Btw Fresh outfit, mint shoes

[@johnharris7244]

The fast twitch muscles work faster than the big muscles. Mike Austin did drills with the same length backswing .

[@ianknight2053]

Thank you Jonathan.

[@jchowngolf]

Glad you liked it Ian 👍🏼

[@rickjablonski9669]

Will have to try this out! I feel like I’m in a similar place. In that I don’t use my body, rotation, ground forces, etc. At least not nearly as much as I could be. Just haven’t found the swing thought that “clicks” for me. I’m not short (~265 yds carry with driver). But I just feel like I’m leaving distance on the table. At the same time, I’m not looking to overhaul or transform my swing. I’m scratch. Just shot my all time low a couple weeks back 61 (-11). Still, who doesn’t want a little more distance?

[@PARDS2]

SUPERB. !!!! BEST DRILL THERE IS FOR GETTING THE WHOLE BODY INVOLVED,,,,

[@dadmaxx8127]

Thanks for the video...how are you initiating the downswing when doing this drill? Is it the legs? I lift my left heel off the ground in the backswing...stepping back on the heel is how I start my downswing...

[@JCpNK]

Great video coach! I'll be trying it this week at the range. What you recommend as a reasonably priced launch monitor?

[@jchowngolf]

Thanks bud! I’m a big fan of the Flightscope Mevo+. It has every data point that a top launch monitor contains. I’ve also got a discount code in the video description. The PRGR gives accurate numbers (spin can be off), but it’s very good for the price point. Just doesn’t have as much data as the Mevo+. Still a great option 👍🏼

[@jonp3216]

Interesting to compare this with Paul Broadhurst, 58, who swings even shorter than you demonstrate but still gets over 100mph ch speed. I am 74, disabled with polio, legs gone, back gone so very little speed. However, my best speed (about 85 mph) comes with a very short bs, restricting the shoulders, then using a small shoulder movement to accelerate. If I swing any further back, I lose power and tend to fall over🙂. Can I suggest (I am a retired PGA pro) that your toe shots come from following through too flat with your left shoulder so, as you come to impact, the left shoulder is pulling the club head away from the ball = toe strike. You don't hit the ball with the follow through so allow the hands to release and get a more balanced follow through. Look after your back and legs.

[@throwingdartsandbreakinghearts]

Most of us hit less than 220 carry. You can either hit it long or you can't.

[@gavinelliot]

Dead right. Basically what you’ve got is what you’ve got. Some tweaks possible but not anything like suggested

[@Hamishmcbeth]

The faster/harder I swing, the further it goes…into the bushes. Much rather hit it 240 and be in the fairway

[@georgejung5429]

Yeah great drill

[@thorgrimb2416]

Only just found your channel I am disabled to be honest when I played probably nearer to 30 years ago I never had a full backswing but jow with all the back issues I have I hoped to start back really just for something a hit different while on a short walk ie 9 hole courses in Nice settings I thought if I am really really lucky might get close to 200yards of the tee but after watching this who knows, now got a lot of your videos to watch lol.

[@rightstuff24]

225 carry with a 240 total in the middle…I’d take that every time.

[@soniaburrows9848]

Ive never had a problem with turning my body faster. The problem is I never know if I'm going to hook it or slice it.

[@someguy95376]

Where did you get your net and do you recommend it?

[@robertward007]

Googled it and looks like its the Deluxe Golf Practise Hitting Net from B&Q £299.99

[@johndunsmore430]

So are u saying from top of backswing concentrate on turning the body as fast as u can and just let arms follow

[@Cipofan42]

looks pretty close to a full swing actually

[@jchowngolf]

[@jonathanwalujo573]

Do you hit this way on ths course? Or only for drills?

[@Matthew-d6v]

Would getting the body more involved also help with irons? I am shorter than anyone I play with and I cannot understand why. I am in good shape and have played for years but it is embarrassing how short I am on irons and driver.

[@bryandavies213]

you prob need to accelerate more through impact. i'm very amateur but can blast irons especially, because i have beefy thighs/glutes to really whoosh through the ball. when im hitting well, it feels like the downswing starts slow but then my lower body rips through impact

[@turfinteractionsgolf]

270ish yards off 100ish club head speed? Can't get much better than that. I wish I was that efficient. I'm at 115-116, I've been up to 118 and my typical carry is 245

[@beng4647]

You definitely aren't hitting the center. I don't swing over 110 and can carry it over 250 easy.

[@beng4647]

118 should be a 285 carry

[@beng4647]

I just moved to Colorado and shitty pop ups go 300 🤣😁

[@turfinteractionsgolf]

@@beng4647 should be up there for sure. I think it's a dynamic loft thing and a heel bias strike thing, my typical spin rate is 2700-3000. Every now and again I'll hit one 265-270 carry but it's not the norm. My best ever drive carried 292 and that was when I was swinging at 112ish but was definitely an outlier.
