Swing SLOWER And Hit The Ball FARTHER, Let Me Show You How

NEW SERIES JUST LAUNCHED
The Shot Saving Series is now live on my website, hit the link below to head over and watch the trailer

Is it possible to achieve more distance by slowing down your swing? It may sound strange, but this technique can be incredibly effective. The key lies in how your swing feels, and a deliberately slower-paced swing can often result in increased distance with all your clubs.
In this video I show you using the Blast Golf Sensor how a slower paced swing can actually lead to longer shots. The great thing about this style of swing is that the slower pace also allows you to be more accurate giving you more precision with your added distance, and who doesn't want that!

Hope you enjoy this one, any question just drop them in the comments below and ill get back to you

[@cw-kr9dd]

Then how did I gain >10mph in swing speed, >30mph in ball speed, and hit it longer by doing the opposite of what you said in the video? lol

[@alanv101]

Great tip Chris. I’ve used both (admittedly not very often and I should) before and they do work. I’m definitely a rusher and don’t always get my weight to the left side. Please keep them coming.

[@jaseishappy]

Love these little drills

[@surroundedbyjaggoffs]

It definitely works I play the senior T’s just for a change I played the white T’s and I out drove my usual t shots, just by swinging slower and deliberately!!!!👍👍!

[@royclose946]

Well done Chris iv tried this and it really works 😊

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Roy, glad it’s helped and it’s such a good way to think about the swing

[@grahamtelfer1036]

Inconclusive test because your backswing was shorter in the fast swing compared to the slower swing

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

But that’s the whole point of the video Graham, when golfers try to swing ‘faster’ I often see shorter swings with quicker tempo, so they ‘feel’ faster when in reality the speed is less, that was the message in the video

[@KnowUhh]

@@ChrisRyanGolf maybe in amateurs. Make another comparison for when you full back swing and try to swing faster in a full swing. Just like how people try to swing out of their shoes with a driver and the ball goes 230 but they swing a better tempo and it goes 270 with both positive angles.

[@kevinmurphy8644]

Just excellent- thanks

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks Kevin

[@kennethbnorris]

I don’t have a problem trying to “swing faster,” I’m more of a “swing harder” person. When I try to swing harder, I rarely get better results than my normal swings. I’m pretty sure it’s because I change my sequencing, leading with my arms, trying to get more power from my arms. I have gotten better with this, but I still forget from time to time, especially when I’m between clubs or when I start to doubt whether I have enough club and danger lurks on the near side.

[@charliesmithers7663]

I feel your pain. It's the ongoing battle with the chimp on your shoulder who no matter how smooth your takeaway is tells you to give it some on your downswing

[@lens7859]

Why I can’t swing within myself EVERY time is baffling. I see a wide open fairway and say “let’s put a little extra on this one” and off the planet it goes.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Haha, very common story that one I’d say lens, I’ve heard that all too often and it’s tough to not do it. Hopefully there are a few parts to this video that may help through

[@midlifebiker7424]

Slow your backswing yes for more control and rotation but a slower forward swing means less club head speed and less distance assuming same smash factor, dynamic loft and attack angle....

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Yeah couldn’t agree more, that was the message, that often slower feeling swings with slower tempo can create higher speeds at impact

[@warwickingle9936]

​@ChrisRyanGolf fan of your teaching Chris, and let's be honest it takes better technique to control your swing than to rush it. All comes from good practice and time...

[@lenardtan7169]

Great tips Chris

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks

[@anthonytran1827]

Thanks for the tips. What App are you using to track the tempo and timing of the swing?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks, it’s called blast golf and it’s brilliant, just a small device on the club and I get all that date plus loads more

[@anthonytran1827]

Thanks Chris. Been following you for a few years and your content is always great. Keep up the great work!

[@andremostert2534]

Tell that to Rory

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Rory has a pretty great tempo, I’d guess 2.9/1 which is ideal

[@risknerd1772]

What Chris says in this video is totally crazy and counter-intuitive...and also totally true.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks, and agreed really goes against what we often believe 🙏🏻

[@ewmcdadesucks-gc2zi]

No it isn't, lost 50 yards by slowing down. You need speed to succeed, nerd.

[@tomsetre2097]

I use a 10ft piece of 3/4 inch rope from home depot and swing that

[@jamesreynolds6750]

The back swing in the second swing looked shorter than in the first swing. Your method of timing the swings is not the way I usually see this done. I would have more confidence in a measurement that measured club head speed at impact.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey James, the club head speed data was on the screen, and this is measured at impact. The other data was showing the timing of the swing and how long the swing took, but the speeds were shown at impact

[@ericehrnsberger8298]

Chris, Im slow back swing, but down swing is super rushed. Just can't get it out of my mind or body to slow it down. When I do get a good contact hit, I hook it. I also have really bad trouble keeping my head down... please help

[@ewmcdadesucks-gc2zi]

@erichrnsberger that's because you're too slow. And slowing down makes that "rush" worse because you had no speed to begin with. Start your backswing faster, now you have more energy to start with for free. Next time instead of listening to Chris Ryan take a tip from the people who actually hit it long like Jack Nicklaus, Drew Cooper, Jason Zuback, and many others who would not teach you to hit it longer by slowing down.

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

Seriously? I posted my video of this concept on Nov 1, 2023 ... Eight days later, here we are.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Great minds think alike 😁

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@ChrisRyanGolf Your videos are way better than mine, I have to admit.

[@kyungkim5764]

i have slowed my swing to for better strike and launch conditions. by making the swing change i am about equal in total distance as my "hard" swing, big differences are my slow swing produces more height, way more consistent int he release and flies straighter. my question is how do i increase speed while maintaining the synced feel?

[@baldurhermannsson9413]

Jon Rahm is pretty fast 😉

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Think that’s just the TV, pretty sure he struggles to get past 220yd with the driver 🤣, but yep agree that he is short and fast

[@baldurhermannsson9413]

​@@ChrisRyanGolfI want to be short like Jon Rahm😅

[@wildensteins1]

John Rham disagrees

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Of course there will always be outliers and if the same size is 1 you can make an argument for anything 🙏🏻

[@ewmcdadesucks-gc2zi]

Literally anyone who has speed would disagree with this rubbish. Want to hit it long? Swing faster. What a concept!

[@lutaayawamala]

Should Kyle Berkshire take notes, or move on?

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Actaullly learn a lot about this topic from a guy who has coached 2 previous world long drive champions and he said that tempo is one of the key things that they focus on, so yep I’d say that Kyle does work tempo

[@cw-kr9dd]

He should move on. Tempo and rhythm are important, but slowing down is bollocks idea.

[@AmarHujan]

Very American pandering title here. Never heard a Brit say "farther" in my life
