Calling it a pressure shift instead of a weight shift makes everything so much clearer now! 🤯

@Drexelius 7 месяцев назад

Best description of how pressure changes for both the irons and driver I’ve ever seen. Even most golf coaches use the term weight shift. I love the way he teaches - it’s the same way I think of the golf swing so it’s very relevant to me.

@gulfaamify 9 месяцев назад

This literally is the highest value golf channel out there by far. Recommend it 100/100.

@ChrisRyanGolf 9 месяцев назад

Thank you, means a lot 🙏🏻

@christophercraig-cy8dk 11 месяцев назад

The best explanation and illustration I have ever seen of the very subtle, yet hugely important shift of pressure (or, shift of momentum) at the transition to the downswing. Excellent video.

@ProfessorMikecarGuy Год назад

Excellent job describing pressure shift. I see so many people getting this wrong. Brilliant explanation, keep the lessons coming!

@tommyrm Год назад

Very helpful. I literally worked this out on the range last night after 20 years of golf. For so long my weight would drift backwards during the backswing but now I’m keeping my chest more over the ball with irons and making much better contact.

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Sounds ideal Tom, I’d imagine you have seen a big change in the ball striking

@dloc2907 Год назад

@davebaker7503 Год назад

Such a great video Chris. The only thing is add is where in the feet you feel the pressure. In the backswing feel the pressure in the trail heel, then when you drift right (just before the backswing ends) you should feel pressure in the left toes and then it moves to the left heel as you push with left leg. I'm a good club, club and a half longer with this. And my ball speed with driver is also up. The other day i hit a drive 30 yards longer than my average. Soon it's going to be the norm. Great stuff as always Chris. 👊

This is accurate! Alot of ppl get this wrong, you got it RIGHT! 😊( I know there's a few pros, like Henrik Stenson for ex, that shift their weight to the right, but it seems to work for them)

Yeah definitely a little more of that with driver, Rory also has a significant nearly shift

@angeloc700 Год назад

This is excellent! I hit my driver very well. Straight, long, and with a good ball flight. I cannot hit my irons at all (because I move too much). I’m going to try your pressure drill and will thank you in advance for the results.

@indawgswetrust Год назад

Hi, Chris! Intriguing video, indeed. It brings a question to mind. I fight sometimes with my swing low point getting way too far in front of the ball (I'm talking a divot 6-8 inches after impact, a very shallow, wimpy, skinny divot, with a most unsatisfying thin shot, sometimes a blade.) No doubt this springs from a desire to not hit FAT (thin to win, I guess), but these knifed shots are almost just as bad. Would this idea of "pressure shift" perhaps help keep my low point closer to the front of the ball? I still want ball-first impact, of course. And do you have specific drills that would help burn this into my muscle memory? Some way to get my lead leg pressing down rather than sliding? Thanks. Really interesting video.

@goldengate8287 Год назад

Great presentation… I just don’t understand why I could t use your slam technique for long irons????

@stevenklinkhamer9069 Год назад

@richardcorrigan2399 Год назад

@pierceellis556 5 часов назад

is there any movement what so over with Iron or do i stay 50-50 and go into backswing

@mikerichards8269 4 месяца назад

So this video has been somewhat of a break through for my swing and making consistent contact AND generating an in-out swing. However, now I am pushing every shot...plus, I find myself almost falling OVER my lead foot.. Like I'm overshifting. What would cause me to push it? Ball placement? I feel like I have to put my 7i just inside my front foot to keep it straight.

@nelsonjames1272 Год назад

Thanks. What about fairway woods, can you move or stay centred?

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Yeah can be pretty similar Nelson, a little different with driver but woods can be the same

@stefanomaniscalchi4983 Год назад

Back swing and down swing are done in a matter of seconds and for the average golfer it might be confusing in these split seconds to think too much at transferring the weight.Much better and simpler to start at address on having already the weight sixty% on the left foot , reminiscent a bit of the stack and tilt swing

@philbthck4556 Год назад

In Driverswing: Whats the percentage of pressure in the Right and left foot ? Is it on impactposition 50/50 ? And if yes how is it possible to increase the pressure on the Right foot ? Amazing content as always. Greets Form Germany

@apaulmcdonough2170 Год назад

Lift your Left Foot off the ground and then all your weight will be on the Right Foot, with no lateral motion needed. Press your Right Foot INTO the ground as you Swing back and then Press the Left Foot into the ground during your Transition Forward.

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Great question and actually will depend on the individual golfers. If you measure pressure as a percentage in can be 100% on the back leg as the golfer jumps at impact, you can sometimes see the lead foot off the ground

@FlankerJackChannel Год назад

Just played around with a good friend of mine who gave me the same advice. I literally and pushing down on my left leg during my swing and keep everything down because of it.

@MPerski Год назад

I feel PRESSURE on my left leg (at the top of my backswing) 👍🏻 … my problem is: I don’t get much more onto the left leg on the downswing, thus don’t get completely over and “post up” on my left leg. Still only about 60-70% on the left. Granted, I’m up in years and have had a left hip replacement 🤕 … so it’s probably the best I can expect 🤷🏼‍♂️

@FlankerJackChannel 3 месяца назад

This video is exactly where I'm at right now in my game. Been playing for about a year and cannot mentally comprehend some of the concepts. I don't understand shift weight at all. I end up falling backwards and hitting off my back foot and just embarrassing myself at this point. How do you people do it so easily? Please don't say practice because I'm doing that and it's not working.

@charlieroughley 3 месяца назад

Hello mate, I've had a massive penny drop moment with weight shifting recently and it's all down to one video. Type in on RU-vid "swing trigger Giles Gill Golf". Give it a watch and try the trigger that Rory does, it has given me such an increase in strike consistency and low point control. Let me know how you get on with it and if it helps!

BLOODY HELL!!! why'd you wait till now to tell us?!! Chris... you're the guv'nor!

@user-wp6dx5qz9e 3 месяца назад

Weight shift sounds like an old slang term used in golf this sounds much more clearer!

@mannyabad6695 10 месяцев назад

Chris, weight is mass x gravity. As you demonstrated, if your center of mass is equidistant between your feet, then each foot supports half your weight or each foot exerts a force on the ground equal to half your weight. Pressure is force over area. So if both soles of your feet are the same and in full contact with the ground, then each foot is exerting the same pressure on the ground. If you lift the heel of say your left feet, then you reduce the area of the sole and therefore your left foot is exerting more pressure on the ground than your right.

@mannyabad6695 10 месяцев назад

Just an additional comment. If you maintain a 50/50 weight distribution at the start of the backswing, your right foot supports more weight than your left foot when your left arm is parallel to the ground because your arms and the club have mass. So if you kept both soles in contact with the ground, your right foot would exert more pressure than your left. Also you need to look into the concept of “impact load.” That’s the reason you’re able to jump to the left. Impact load has no mass.

@macleryy Год назад

A silly question. At what point of the swing the weight moves forward?

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Great question, it should begin to move towards the front foot just before the club finished moving away from the target, only slightly earlier however

@davebaker7503 Год назад

As the back swing is finishing.

@dougcornell3085 Год назад

Most club makers use a robot called the iron Byron. The robot does shift its weight either. Great video

@thomaslahr9022 6 месяцев назад

Do you understand that pros have re-centered by the time they reach the top of the backswing? So for many top players there is a very subtle weight shift to the right at the start of the take away

@pete3953 Год назад

As a scientist, I struggle a little bit with your distinction between weight and pressure. Your body weight exerts pressure on the ground. Am I correct in thinking that what you are doing here is making a distinction between horizontal movement (the classic weight shift) and vertical movement where you push up from the ground in the downswing (increasing pressure) to generate more power?

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Yes that would be accurate, weight shift being the movement of the golfer laterally Vs pressure shift being how much you push into the ground 🙏🏻

@patrickdegeorge6496 Год назад

What about fairway woods?

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Very similar Patrick

@cluman1 Год назад

😮I have a better drill and it works like a charm. I practice stack and tilt with most of my weight on the lead leg. It's a great feeling. When I play, I return to the traditional pivot swing. My emphasis is weight on the lead side at address and full swing. It's very rare if I hit a fat shot. I flush my shots the majority of the time. I have a strong grip with a flat lead wrist and my focus is on straight line release. Bonus tip: practice this with the swing fast stop quickly drill. For me, the best post impact drill out there.

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Love that and something that I have definitely done with students in the past

@pjay3028 Год назад

That's very interesting. Are you saying that the pressure onto the right foot is actually simply a reaction against the momentum of the club and arms as they move into the backswing? If so it just happens naturally (Newton's laws) you don't do anything with your body to create the shift, in fact you actually use your body to resist any movement (rather than create it) and that's what generates the pressure on the right foot.

@Bill-uo6cm 2 месяца назад

Chris's videos are the best, but I think pressure and weight are the same. I can understand why believing the terms are different could help a golfer's swing, but it doesn't make it true, in my opinion.

I get blocked on the downswing and I suspect this is a HUGE part of my problem / is it a pressure shift in the way down too???

@rogerhh3753 2 месяца назад

So you want weight pressure moving to the back foot on the back swing ?

@janetboddy8183 Год назад

This is Chuck using my wife's login...I find this very confusing....I can't distinguish pressure from weight. I don't understand how you can put pressure on your lead leg without the use of your weight, and that would seem like the only way to achieve a change in pressure is by shifting weight from the trail leg to the lead leg. Coincidentally, the next of your videos that appeared was the one where you talk about what your hips should be doing (ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-zBQt9HPIZ3M.html), and in that video it appears that you are very much shifting your weight. Perhaps that was just to demonstrate the concept, but your movement there supports my thought that the only way to exert/change the pressure you are exerting is through the shifting of weight. Thanks so much for your videos!

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Hey Chuck, the demo in the video where I jump would show a lot more pressure under the trail foot but there was no visible shift laterally of my weight. Another way to visualise this would be if I were to jump straight iupwards, I can not increase my body weight but as I jump thr pressure would significantly increase under my feet. Pressure is how much you push into the ground, weight is the physical movement of your mass, definitely some overlap in the movements.

@janetboddy8183 Год назад

@mikerodrick2430 Год назад

Weight shift is a small move, not a sway, & should stay to the insides of your feet. Shifting your weight is no different than ground pressure. This is an example of why high handicappers find golf so difficult. It's taught with too much information that does nothing but give more unnecessary swing thoughts. The simpler, the better.

@ChrisRyanGolf Год назад

Shifting weight is no different to ground pressure could not be more wrong I’m afraid. I can have weight moving in one direction and the percentage of pressure moving in the complete opposite, so different.

@simonthorpe2692 Год назад

This has always felt natural, unfortunately, always thought I was doing it wrong after reading about weight shift on videos/web etc! Why has it taken so long to explain the truth? Not you obviously lol

@davebaker7503 Год назад

@@ChrisRyanGolf I think part of the issue is, some instructors, prior to 3D video and pressure plates, used to mistakenly call this a reverse pivot. It may have been as most would over rotate their hips and put all their weight/pressure on the front leg. That's not what's happening here.

@davebaker7503 Год назад

Because instructors prior to 3d video and pressure plates, were under the misguided muse that this was a reverse pivot. It's not.
