Learn To Compress Your Irons With These 2 Simple Drills 

You are definitely the best golf teacher online

Great point in this video. "Don't make it happen, let it happen". That explains some of those beautiful effortless golf swing we see on tour.

This is the best thing I’ve ever seen Chris, as an habitual caster of the club for 20 years, my 7i maxing out at 107 yards can’t wait to get cracking at this, didn’t know any of this by the way until I got a irange mini and filmed myself.. thanks Chris, this is gold to me..

I guy I know off +2 does this before every shot. I never understood why. He hits his irons like a tour pro and now I know why. I will try to copy this, thanks

My hanger should be here today. I appreciate you’re videos man, they’re very helpful, and not too technical like a lot of videos in which I can’t even comprehend what’s going on.

You have the most effortless looking swing. These two tips helped me make more consistent contact with my irons. Thanks

This is huge for me, in just getting back into the game after a 4-year hiatus. New clubs and don’t want to get frustrated trying to recreate the ball striking I used to have. Thanks as always, Chris!

Perfect timing for this video, exactly what I needed help with. Thanks Chris 👍

I love your videos. There is a lot to take in and I still hit a lot of bad shots, but practicing one of your tips everyday has radically improved my swing. Thanks, Chris!

Hands down the best channel for simplicity of instructions. Chris is quality at breaking things down and explaining them. Love this content

Thank you for this clip. I studied it and found the information extremely helpful for my swing.

Love this drill, exercises helped a lot

dude, feels like you were looking at my swing while making this vid. great stuff, really like what you do and how you explain stuff. getting to the origins of issues is key. well done sir!

Concise effective instruction Taking the grip pressure to the extremes to focus the correct way is awesome Thanks for this

Thx Chris. All your videos are very helpful and appreciated. I always recommend your channel to us weekend warriors. This is an area I have struggled with more than any other aspect of the swing. Was sad to see this fault on video again and again. Do you recommend that your students maybe use the trail index finger to harness and release lag through impact?

You make stuff so simple thank you

Thanks Chris great instruction

Excellent video

Thanks Cr .. good stuff as always.

Great vid

Went to the 2022 PGA here in OKlahoma and noticed the pro's finish was belt buckle to the target and right foot totally off the the ground just like your last ball you hit in your video. Love your video instructions. Thank you.

Best teacher on the web

Awesome golf swing. A thing of true beauty.

🏌🏽‍♀️Man, your on point as usual…I got a hanger a couple years ago and took it out yesterday to work on your concepts and bam, you went over at the end and confirmed what I thought I needed to feel! ⛳️

Great video Chris.

Such a great video - Your 'feeling' can sometimes betray you in golf. I feel like i'm doing it right but the inconstancy in my shots prove i'm not. stripping my swing back like this shows my hands were steering the club into casting down and opening the face. The technique of lagging the club via the movement of the body is something i'm going to practice next, and I might invest in one of those 'Hanger' things. Thanks Chris!

Awesome drills. Chris, I wonder if the grip pressure at the ball impact moment should be the same as entire swing.

Very very very very good video😍😍😍😍

Best lesson from this video that should be in all golf instruction videos; fixing only one problem will make you worse. Glad you mentioned that we need to be aware of face position as well as swing path.

Another good vid - tx CR. Lag and shaft lean are the most difficult thing for us amateurs to do on a consistent basis. i used to use a training club called the Striker - I dare say you have heard of it but I learned you can make your own by grinding the sole of an old 7 or 8 iron - it takes patience but it does the trick. I also learned the "hangar" trick with a coat hangar and was wondering if you might do (or have already done...?) a vid on homemade training aids - swing weights, impact bags and so on - ??

Hello Chris! Thanks for the video. It would really be a motivation for me if I can get some of your old/used kits. They are pretty expensive to purchase here in Nigeria. I would so much appreciate a kind gesture if it's not too much to ask.

My biggest issue is knowing the timing when to left the lag go or let the club head come around. When I golf lag I get inconsistent strikes. Any advise? Should I let lag go at last parallel or when left arm by pass left leg?

Chris, will slowing down the transition help with this problem ?

Great video Chris but if u haven't got any think for the wrist what sort I feeling could u work with

when you do that drill, if you look carefully ,you can see that the thing that powers this little swing is the movement of the weight to the right early in the little backswing and the weight back to the left provides the force to change the direction the swing toward the target. When you do it wrong. ( cast from the top) we see that the weight ( pressure) does not move toward the target on the mini downswing. The power ( force ) is coming from the legs,hips, core.

Great content as usual. Did you have the Hanger on backwards??

Great video Chris, in reference to the first drill. Are you happy in a full swing for the handle to come back before the club head in the initial takeaway? I hope that makes sense. I feel this will stop me rolling the club inside straight away too

Why is it I clear my hips and ball shoots dead left? Doin somethin wrong? Thanks Boss. JP.

What exactly is. the left wrist doing at the end of the backswing to get the hands/wrists in the proper alignment in the downswing to avoid hitting the ball way right?

does it matter how fast the backswing is? Thanks Chris!

Great drill, does the front left leg (for righties) come into play? It seems the club will just work it's way through automatically with this method.

It all starts with proper grip. The trailing hand is especially vital to get correct. One must grip the club in the 2nd pads of the trailing hand, not the first as i’ve been doing for the past 22 years and just figured out I was ruining myself all these years because if that small move but huge impact on swing quality. By using the fingers/2nd pad it allows for all the good thing to follow, lag, using the body not the arms and hands, squaring the club, creating massive power etc etc. If you fuck yourself in your grip you’ll never have a great swing period. Human nature wants to use the 1st pads against the palm of the trailing hand as it feels powerful, but it’s absolutely a swing killer. Try 2nd pads and a full bucket like I did last week finally after 22 years of questions with no answers. Hit the best shots of my life from wedge to driver, by far and it felt so easy. Try it!!!

Hmm the lose wrist and lose grip might be the difference for me I after hitting on the range my hands and wrist hurt cause I am gripping the club so hard

I've been trying to stop casting for years and can't seem to do it. I can attest your last point that doing this with an open clubface will lead to 45 degree right/shanks. It seems this also needs to be paired with getting the left hip out of the way on the downswing, no? If the hips don't clear = more shanks.

Can this be used with the driver swing?

Does anyone have a link to the swing aid? The only one I could find was £70

I always hit the stick on the backswing rather than the downswing lol.

Chris a great drill to do for not casting is taking your index finger and thumb off your grip on your trail hand and Hit some balls.It's a great drill

Is there any tips or doing anything different for a left handed golfers?

Nice one, Chris. For people who fear they might break their alignment stick, a towel might be an option.

So are you just turning the shoulders here and leaving the arms and hands impassive?

I'm guilty of this over high-stress shots, when my hands want to "steer" the shot.

Great vid Chris. A question I’ve always had in this regard is, does this give us license to ‘let go’ of the club slightly at transition to allow this to happen? I.e. keep control in the fingers but maybe allow the grip to drift away from the heel of the hand slightly. I’ve often heard it referred to as ‘ re-gripping’ and being a big no-no.

we called " Natural Force for downswing"..

Never in 50 years of playing golf have I seen anyone on the course, other than instructors, with an alignment stick or any other kind of practice gadget. We practice by playing (after watching numerous videos lol) and then hope to put that practice in to play on Saturdays. Don't get me wrong, the instruction provided here is of course faultless but can we get a drill to use without the props please? Cheers.

I wish I could just hit the ball. I dont care if it goes straight left or right. I just want to make contact Lol

Hey Chris, there are two schools of thought on ball placement. One is based on the opinions of Ben Hogan and Jack Nicklaus of always placing the ball at the inside lead heel no matter what club you use. The other is based on modern day golfers and vary based on the club. I believe both are correct myself and just wondered your thoughts on it. I see you vary yours, but wondered if you thought it really matters to you if a golfer does one or the other.

We should be able to strike it well… just not that one 🤣

I get the concept but there are a lot of variables being ignored. Spine position. Swing plane. Body tension. Etc all can ruin that "easy" swing

where can I find that RAW hat?
