The Driver Release No One Talks About (Insane Distance!)

[@LanceCampeau]

*This is absolutely true.* I'm about to turn 51 and this method of pulling your hands toward your body during the swing allows me to get well over 110 MPH club head speed no problem. I even poked up to 124 MPH on a max effort about a year ago and 118 about 2 months ago. The main problem is that I end up having a tendency to cut across the ball while doing this (all arms swing + lack of hip rotation) This leads to a decrease in swing consistency. However, when I do connect it square, its a 275-285 carry.

[@GolfAddict]

Let's see some proof Lance - a wee video of you at the range would suffice lol

[@easttexassplendor9670]

My clubhead speed is almost identical but I use a Krank El Diablo driver with a correctly selected shaft. My in-the-air distance went from 280-290 to 310-320. It feels so awesome when the shaft kicks correctly! Roll out sucks though

[@peterslonsky]

As a fisherman for 41 years, that was a fantastic lesson on physics of the rod/club. Bravo!!! ❤ saved that video!

[@chr970]

Holy smokes I’ve never seen it explained like this. An understandable physics lesson, tied into an awesome swing lesson. Can’t wait to apply this in…..hopefully April, it -20 C outside now…..long winter. This was a great lesson sir!

[@janicetomaso2129]

What an excellent lesson! WOW was that great! Boy did I need that!! Great ! Thank you ! 😍👏👏👏👏

[@ipsec6279]

Great lesson. The information was also discussed at TPI and makes total sense. Good work. Cant wait to try it out.

[@16pennynails]

Solid video instruction on creating speed or "releasing" the club....it's also advanced training meaning you have to be doing a lot of other things correctly.

[@TigerMarine62]

My God man, I just added 50 yards to my drives. You are one of my favorite KZbin instructors. OK, full disclosure, Not actually 50 yards but I'm getting the distance I have been after. Thank You Thank You Thank You!

[@john-ug7nc]

This year marks 51 years playing tennis. And the hardest thing to get right is the serve. One of the key points now, in serving, is to take the arm that you threw the ball up with and then as you're going up with your body you're bringing your arm down and tucking it in close to your body giving a massive amount of acceleration to your forward thrust into the serve. I can clearly see the point that he's making. It's like a figure skater when she spins with her arms out she's going slow and then as she brings her arms in the rotational speed increases explosively. This is essentially the same concept. It's awesome!

[@epicragegaming2016]

thanks for this, as always your videos are excellent and really show what you are saying through demonstration. i always hear hands decelerate and club head accelerates. this shows why. thank you.

[@michaelchittock]

The best swing speed video I have seen 🙏😊🏌🏼‍♂️

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks so much

[@joshhill3010]

This is actually very true, the release is really hardly talked about in many many videos! As someone with a totally fused left wrist I have some real fun releasing the club and not having wayward shots, it's coming along through driver SS is around 105 now up from 90ish!

[@tjnaevans]

This really helped! FYI: I play with a few guys who don't hit their drives as far or straight than you hit a 25% speed shot! TY 4 this

[@oscarsloots246]

Very good! Best explanation of this concept I’ve seen, thank you!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks 🙌

[@karlweber470]

no mention of where you filmed? I played at Verdura in Sicily in May and it was amazing. Empty course and beautiful. Was very cool to see it randomly pop up in this video.

[@brianhunt1633]

Game changing! Thank you

[@itsnotokgolf]

dude yes!!! this combined with using your legs/ground and the bottoming out of the club so the angle of attack is barely positive!!

[@MattUpton-o8j]

Hopefully I'm communicating my question in a clear way... Are the hands moving "into" the body a result of clearing the hips and proper shoulder turn (left shoulder rotates away from the ball more or less and right shoulder rotations towards the ball to some degree)? Or should the left arm bend increase to allow the left hand come into the body? Or some other action to generate this move?

[@darylross6065]

Excellent explanation. I'll be definitely giving this a few shots at a range. Preferably one with Trackman.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hope it helps Daryl

[@royclose946]

Well done Chris 👏 😊

[@davidm7031]

Fisherman here! Distance casters concentrate on pulling their left hand down as quickly as possible with the right being more of a pivot.

[@gregcochennet385]

Will definitely have to try this one

[@tonythompa]

Hi Chris yeah I get the mechanics for the driver however would you recommend this for irons as I would have thought it would add loft and may cause flipping? If not what would you recommend for irons. cheers

[@Bunny-t5l]

Gorgeous location

[@jack-hq7gr]

Impressive and concise… really enjoying your increasing insight to core topics..😊. Any chance at some point having discussion or demo on chipping with game improvement irons… 7-9 PW or Gap can have considerable “hot spots” vs forged irons… any tips or techniques for this issue???

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Yeah definitely need to get some more short game stuff done, weather is just so poor in the UK at the moment, but will plan some

[@Darren-df2wn]

You can get it even closer, by relaxing the traps and deltoids , on the followthrough 😊

[@pohoresky]

Incredibly insightful lesson into getting more effortless speed of club head by pulling up and back of the handle and straightening the lead arm through impact .

[@pohoresky]

I meant to say "pulling handle back, in, and up " and in " and straightening lead arm though impact.

[@dvgm1]

3:54 vertical force into your lead foot also helps pull the grip up and around. There is an old video of tiger saying getting the hands closer to the body on the follow through, "like a figure skater spinning" helps him create a ton of speed in the same way. When they go up into a jump they bring their arms in to spin faster...they all are essentially saying the same thing just different ways to look at it.

[@komodomannen]

super explenation! cant wait to try this routine..

[@thomasroughton5345]

This is a great lesson 👏👏👏👏👏

Trying this

[@hans-christophmetz-hj1gg]

This approach does look a lot like the so - called Hockey - drill. But the later upward motion seems to make a significant difference. Must try hopefully in March. Thankyou for the moment!

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Thanks and hope it does help

[@Sansfaim]

As the great Sam Snead said, “swinging a golf club is like trying to throw an apple off the end of a stick”.

[@peterdickinson3467]

Hi tried this for 5 minutes at the weekend pulled a few drives but after that, straight and longer,and in control,great fight,

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

BOOM! Love it!

[@gregcochennet385]

[@jeffbennett345]

Does this also work with irons?

[@Peacefullsound1]

No

[@daehank]

Thanks for sharing. I haven't seen any youtube clip in English before yours, but there have been quite number of clips in other languages. For example, "Hoshina Traning Studio" has extensive analysis on the double pendulum under the title "Maximize your flight distance! Easy-to-understand explanation using a model" in Japanese. ( see it 2 minute 24 sec)

[@desano1975]

Is this the same as Stewart Cartwright! Cuz this works with the irons as well

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

I’m not too sure, but this is applicable to irons as well yes

[@richardburgess3706]

[@rikclarke4881]

Please tell me what pros reach a swing or clubhead speed of 200 mph

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Club head speed, no one has broken that barrier yet, ball speed a fair few have post that number

[@chrisbright2088]

I’ve told many people this same thing the release is casting a reel

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

It is, clearly I’m no fisherman but that is exactly the analogy yes

[@skywalknotpossible]

It might be the missing piece in my swing...I'm fit, but for the god I'm unable to swing faster than 105, so I'll give this a go once indoor and let's see what the trackman says. It will completely screw my swing but might be worth it. Just done few swing with this type of "twist" and I can certainly generate surprising amount of speed from almost no upswing.. interesting. Saved.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Great to hear, glad it’s already showing signs of working. Of course takes time but sounds like you are on track

[@salahlah23]

So this would work better with a baseball grip! Will try that soon

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Not necessarily, probably best to just use your normal grip for this

[@vertical-golf]

Most of the longest hitters have the club in your 'red' zone but the hands are underneath the club.

[@scottmccaig6185]

Basically a lacrosse shooting motion

[@timlee8604]

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

[@rdk3996]

[@ryancallander807]

Ok so these pros told us..DONT CAST the club. Now they are telling us casting is ok, but only if you stop the cast the exact point because a half of degree causes a slice of a driver of 30 to 40 yards. You tell us not to cup our wrist, yet to achieve this you have to cup the wrist.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

Hey Ryan, casting is definitely not a good move, and in this video im not advocating that, also not advocating a cupped wrist either. Seems there is a few crossed wires here

[@starks1974]

This would probably solve my constant toe hits.

[@alize43m]

Similar to hitting a slap shot.

[@DydLike]

SO many variables. It can work, but for high handicappers I would not recommend this, you will fail and make golf so much more difficult for yourself. Less variables = less errors = easy & enjoyable golf.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

What would you recommend for higher handicappers then? I think in its simplest form I advocate having the grip of the club a little farther from the body than it was at address, with the head of the club a little behind the hands, what woods you prefer high handicappers to do?

[@scottwalker145]

Makes you wonder how DeChambeau smashes driver with his hands so far from his body.

I reckon you do not go fishing or casting baits very often 😅!

[@GolfAddict]

Where's the evidence of the 70mph to 200mph improvement 🤣

[@swisstrader]

[@walker8989]

It could happen😊

[@ryancallander807]

Don't worry, you to can cast your club just like me if you follow these 3 simple steps, 1. Cup your wrist...I know we said not to last week, but this week it's ok. 2.Clasp your hands together like you are praying, this way you can pay that your club face comes back to perfect impact in that flipping/cast that your ball doesn't make a right hand turn, boomerang itself back around knocking you playing partners teeth out.

[@GolfAddict]

@@ryancallander807 🤣🤣 I'm honestly sick of these click bait BS titles and in YT golf to be honest - there's nothing new except that every week we have this cheat code, hidden move, bomb your driver, get +60 yards, never hit a fat shot again, how to cheat at the short game videos getting churned out day after day after day by the same old faces. #BOREDAF lol

[@erbLLLL]

I'm gonna unsubscribe just because of that shitty click bait thumbnail.

[@deer8730]

When you get a golfer trying to pull his hands inward instead of just focusing on getting the hands past the ball at impact, you are setting them up to spend weeks failing before they abandon your technique and search for another miracle cure. There are only so many things a person needs to know and think about to play good golf. This is not one of them.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

If that is your opinion then fair enough, but this is exactly what happens in good golf swings that create efficient speed, so out of interest why is it ok to tell someone to focus on getting their hands forward, which is accurate, but not tell them to do this, which is also accurate? Why is one ok and not the other? Sounds very much like you have experience of working with golfers and trying to change their delivery and impact, what issues have you found with this approach?

[@deer8730]

@@ChrisRyanGolf it is ok to tell someone one thing and not another because what I said focuses on a fundamental, whereas what you promote is some kind of 'trick' that will produce 'insane distance'.

[@ChrisRyanGolf]

@@deer8730 a trick?? Really? Unfortunately on this platform we have to package things slightly differently, but this is not a trick, this is bio mechanically how you need to swing. This movement is demonstrated by all the greats. Fundamentals of the game would be in my opinion striking the ground on the right place (irons), controllable and predictable curve and being able to hit the ball far enough to play the golf courses, this video addresses that, so for be both fundamentals, still not sure why one is ok and one is a ‘trick’ this is how you play golf, how you efficiently deliver the club with speed. Again, if you disagree then that’s your choice, but I believe is coaching golfers how to move correctly and arming them with the info that is accurate
