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
@@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.
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.
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
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.
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
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 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...
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.
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
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!!!!👍👍!
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.
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
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
@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.
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?
