This SHORTER BACKSWING MOVE Is Changing SO MANY Golf Swings!

[@stevenl.halesr.6894]

As a Senior golfer (with a bad back), trying to maintain all the supposed Proper Swing Techniques, this is going to help my ageing ass out... Thanks Chris!!!

[@formula2tom225]

70 y/o geezer here, it's basically the Hogan swing, it creates a very powerful position so u can go at it as hard as u want with no back pain. VJ Sing used a towel or glove tucked under his armpit to practice feeling it.. not that u need my advice lol. it will make driver the best club in your bag..bombs away

[@ETBob51]

Thanks for validating my shorter swing. I have been concentrating for a couple of years now on keeping my right arm tucked into my side, and it has helped me a lot. I've always seen the other guys that I golf with take their long swings, and I've felt bad that if I did that, I sprayed the ball all over the course. Keeping it close and shorter helps me hit straighter drives more often.

[@brandycothern2012]

Another awesome and very educational video. You have a longer back swing but you definitely explained how to shorten mine up and hit it more pure. Keep the videos coming my friend, cheers.

[@wolfgangkehrer618]

Simply. Great. I will give it a go, this is definitely something I need to incorporate into my swing.

[@johnd9111]

Im 66 and I've evolved into almost the exact same swing you demoed today. I can't hit the 320 yds. drives I could with my full swing 20 years ago but I still get an occasional 300 (runout) on a hot TX. summer day without throwing my back out.

[@edwardhousemaniii2732]

Sure you can 😮

[@colinwalker8807]

Great looks very helpful!! Thanks very much Chris

[@kellycoates5027]

Love it! Simple but effective..

[@sparty710]

With my jacked up shoulder, I can't wait to try this out!

[@keinnorgler8733]

He explains a 3/4 backswing and demonstrates a full swing where the Club is pointing to the target or even slightly downwards. That is not a short backswing at all, sorry. Have a look at Jon Rahm to see a short backswing with superior length.

[@CanadianBiPolarBear]

Feel vs real

[@GeoffWinstanley-tg3zy]

I thought the same his backswing was really a full swing sorry to tell you ,have a look at it yourself,

[@saokuerten8173]

First, his hand position at the completion of his backswing is just past the 9’o clock position for a right handed player, that is a 3/4 position. The flex of the shaft at the end of his backswing is bowed downward giving the impression of a full or over swing. Hand and lead arm position at the completion of the backswing determines 1/4-1/2 and 3/4 backswing. Better than average players know this.

[@CanadianBiPolarBear]

@@saokuerten8173 every one has different range of motion on their back swing....watch jon rahm vs adam scott

[@keinnorgler8733]

@@saokuerten8173 It does not depend in which way the club reaches its final position in the backswing. Most important thing is the way the clubhead travels to the ball. A clubhead pointing to the target or even downwards is not a short backswing at all. Low single digit handicap player know this.

[@philgoss165]

Tell u what Chris it’s a great tip mate..last April I was 6.2 then went up to 9.2…I was having trouble out of bunkers arms leaving the body catching the heel and thinning..tried the “tuck tip this morning boom legendary out of bunkers no problems..irons were more consistent..my driving always decent but irons sometimes lack due to the flailing arms..this will change that mate I can see it 👏👏👏👏🔥🔥🔥🔥 cheers best tip on you tube for ages this..

[@donjo9776]

My nephew is a professional golfer. I solicited him for a lesson. This is what he taught me and it was instant success. I videoed taped my swing and, admittedly, I look a little constricted, but the result was straighter drives and more confidence.

[@andybates963]

Guys,this was another fantastic lesson, thanks so much!!

[@pastorjason4337]

Was working on something similar at the range today from Cowan. My accuracy was way up but my distances we still down. I think mostly i hit the ball with more compression but it was a very new approach for my swing and I think I need some time getting used to it. I struggle with duck hooks and blocks to the right usually.

[@markymark627]

worth a go, whats to lose, will try this on my next round, tuck in that arm

[@aspoonfulofknowledge]

Love it!! That is powerful!! Keep up the great work!!

[@ayatollahofroknrollah5589]

Great video. Great 2 shots! Cheers to a great new golf year

[@mikebeck2274]

Batman and Robin... best duo on KZbin! Thanks for another great golf lesson.

[@garymalone547]

I restrict the hips on the way back, much as you, and finish the back swing once the left shoulder hits the chin. Only 70kg so need to spin the hips to get lag and generate power.

[@rackum44]

A flying right elbow did just fine for Freddy couples and Jack Nicklaus. It seems easy to shallow out the club when you do have a flying right elbow and pull it in in the downswing

[@johnmanheimer8006]

Just wondering why Chris has his right thumb on top of the shaft? When I did that it activated my right side too quickly. However, I like the short compact swing.

[@TraumaER]

This swing is genius. Can’t wait to hit simulator again. Will use for irons.

[@bakervinci163]

I just switched to this and shot 1 over today as a 8 hcp.

[@markpassell8379]

Funny enough I tried this exact technique based on two other lesson videos, one to tuck the elbows and one to avoid bending my trail arm past 90 degrees. Works very well.

[@MarvinHoughton-s7u]

Thank you

[@paulgreen8228]

Love this. Off to the range!

[@paulcanting4456]

In simple words, that's the Ben Hogan's Magic move😊 good video btw, ahhh you could use a small towel as well😁

[@PARDS2]

SUPERB. !!!

[@edwardbrown6245]

Chris is amazing fantastic swing..the problem is the average guy has 85 to 90 swing speed ..so you lose distance show a 85 mph swing speed thanks to

[@ericperthel6527]

Great video. But, that doesn’t look like a compact backswing. I think of Finau or Rahm. You’re going to parallel..just a thought.

[@getovryourslf4444]

I'm not sure who thus guy is but that swing wasn't short and compact at all! He went past parallel. Do not do any of this unless you want to hit it 20-30 yards right of your aim point. As you can see from his video, he hit this ball way right of his target. You can clearly see his feet aimed at the meet side of the fairway and his ball ends up going somewhere down the right side or into the rough. If you want a short powerful swing jeep your keep your left arm stiff on your backswing and when you feel your wrists needing to bend stop and fire. Your best swing thought using this will be thumbs down at set up... thumbs up at the top and stop of your backswing... and thumbs down at impact. All these videos online might work for 50 handicaps but if you're a 10 or less looking for short backswing and power then cut your clubs down an inch and get senior flex shafts.

[@billjones8542]

swing thought to do this, if you think fold my right arm it tucks in just as you say

[@redneckReno]

thanks for that!!

[@stevesimms9013]

Great tip brother ⛳🍻

[@Ardee1312]

Trying to think of half a dozen moving parts, during a two second swing, is impossible for me. I like this single thought approach - I’ll give it a go.

[@kevinheitz9283]

At 61 years old, my swings have become more 3/4. Like the practice with a towel or head over under my arm. Gives the same effect.

[@retflo2583]

Once again, Chris for the win...

[@Livereater]

ummm, a short backswing is a great topic... however, you demonstrated a regular full swing

[@davidtodd2836]

I have a short backswing, but I somehow tihten up on the grip which then becomes a negative wrist cock and so I get even less distance. At almost 80 years old I can't figure out how to stop this negative wrist action!!

[@gregmillard9072]

Great tip Chris.👍 It looked like both balls went into the trees!😅

[@SL0409]

Only started playing golf last April (aged 41) Played once or twice a week at my local par 3 course up until October, Spent since then watching about 500 KZbin videos and practice swinging in my house Got the opportunity to play today for the 1st time in nearly 4 months Felt so confident I was going to be pinging golf balls all over the fairway and how wrong I was 😂 I was absolutely horrendous, played 18 holes and think I hit 4 decent shots the whole round (1 was 8 feet from the pin on a par 3) Pretty much everything just skulled along the grass. So annoying

[@xerxeshadrianus4901]

Hi Bro ! I ll give an advice ; lets try practice - with your irons , and 5 or 3 woods - with tennis balls , on somewhere playground ! About 2- 3 weeks time after , you defenetly hit storger , faster ... and accurate ! Just try hitting low trajectory , slight draw or straight shots ... how far just you can , first . Then the finish , try higher straight shots with backspin . When you get confidence with this practice , try real golf balls ! Dramatically fast improve ! Good luck ! 😉

[@AnttiSavolainen-c3d]

Damn! this could be good for me (senior)!

[@williamlathim4467]

At 3:19 you are past parallel on your backswing...that's supposed to be a shorter backswing?

[@djrondo1224]

Your swing looked good , almost Hogan like at the top. but not very compact in terms of 3/4 shorter more compact.

[@nigelcooke8590]

Chris for the win with Robbo running scared simple tip for maximum james’ money return 😂😂😂

[@johnryan296]

Right in the trees, just like mine😂😂, I will try this, I tend to try and kill it and duff the shot.

[@daveharrison1160]

But could it help MHD?

[@getgoodatgolf]

It’s a tip not a miracle Davo

[@adamsons2890]

That backswing was parallel to the ground.

[@getgoodatgolf]

That is the idea of the drill, this swing was actually shorter than Chris’ normal swing all part of the process 👍🏻

[@billabbott6092]

The simpler the swing the better

[@beachfraser3747]

Yopu guys are the dogs bollocks !! Better than Morecambe and Wise,lol greetings from the soft south

[@MC-nb6jx]

Errr nobody was better than Morecambe and Wise, check out the numbers for their Christmas Specials😉🤣

[@beachfraser3747]

Lol, true, i meant in the Golf World!@@MC-nb6jx

[@jamespark3399]

“Connected” is what I sim for but can’t honestly understand what part of the trail arm you’re trying to keep close to your body. I end up with my trail elbow and up stuck to my side. 🤷🏼

[@onsenguy]

Martin Hall's voice coming from this young lad.

[@watchalot919]

That isn't a short backswing, you should see mine

[@bobharnois9507]

Doug Sanders could swing in a phone booth!!

[@adamsons2890]

Not a short backswing you’re showing

[@Paul-lm5gv]

1:23 that's not really that short a backswing!

[@jakhaughton1800]

Jon Rahm

[@jayafow84]

He doesn't have a short backswing at all! Goes past parallel everytime.

[@mikewilliams1479]

So are we gonna just leave out the fact this also helps ball striking and accuracy?

[@GolfAddict]

Not as long a swing and yet both shots at the end of the video are full swings 🤷‍♂

[@jimbojohnson7360]

What course are you playing on that is open in this fucking weather...?

[@alanrhind4960]

Why don't you try having a go at the single plane swing like Moe Norman did years ago. Keep it simple.🤔🤔🤔

[@seanlaracy106]

As a fly fisherman this offends me

[@xerxeshadrianus4901]

😅😂 Hi there ! Next time , please showing swing for SHORTER GOLFERS ! 😆😅🤣.... ( i'm 5' 2" ) short but powerful !😉😅🤣 ... ☝️👍👍👍

[@sanantoniosteve]

Both drives were FULL swings. This video makes no sense.

[@getgoodatgolf]

How on earth would you know what someones full swing is? Chris's "full swing" almost takes out his left knee at the top... its all relative. sorry you couldn't make sense of it

[@davechavezjr5399]

You’re talking about a shorter backswing but you’re clearly demonstrating a full backswing! Misleading video and a waste of time!

[@golfhead2169]

I hate too see his long swing..🤔

[@windyknot2094]

Nice dissertation but YOU should view your own back swing which is ridiculously long; to the point you could see it over your left shoulder. Nice ball. poor demonstration. FYI

[@getgoodatgolf]

Good job Chris isn’t trying to play in the masters then and spends his time helping people like you for free isn’t it. FYI

[@mesillahills]

Your swing looks awfully armsy to me. You shorten up a swing by swinging with your body trunk muscles only. This is also called "the connected" swing. And there is actually an increase in power. I see more and more touring pro going to this today. Almost zero arms.

[@jimboyko2854]

No no and no .sorry but not correct at all .

[@getgoodatgolf]

Cheers Jim

[@imaxfli]

Those didn't sound like great drives. Seemed to be blocked a little right.

[@keyjam9]

Too complex.

[@getgoodatgolf]

Lol
