Some drills I like to call 'POWER DRILLS' as they just never fail when it comes to fixing the fault, this is one of those drills. This drill has never failed to fix this common downswing fault, and this fault is probably one of the most common out there
If you struggle with the driver, to strike the irons or you tend to loose the ball to the right of the target this is the video and the drill for you.
Three easy to do drills finishing up with the 'power drill' and you will be well on your way to better golf.

I've scoured RU-vid for golf instruction. Chris Ryan is by far the best at actually giving practical use tips. His videos have helped me work out kinks in my swing a few times. Like actually helped me get rid of bad habits.

@leonardrempel7583 3 месяца назад

100% agree. Chris breaks it down so that it makes sense and easier to take to the range and course!

@Nick-05 Год назад

OTT, the stealth game killer, goes hand-in-hand with early extension to compensate. I’ve been battling this curse for years and I have to say this is the best instructional video I’ve seen.

@chrisweber4450 Год назад

Can't wait to try that last drill. Thanks so much.

@noneofmybusiness9895 Год назад

So i just went to the range, focusing on a nice, high backswing, and starting to load my front leg while dropping the club, and boom, no more swinging from the outside. I was flushing everything and it seemed like my swing was effortless, just because of that first move of dropping the club downwards, allowing more time for my legs and hips to make power. It also felt great crushing draws with the ball just inside my back heel. Unreal feels man - best range session yet kudos to you! From 🇨🇦

@JLMedialtd 2 года назад

I have just paused it at 1.00 minute. Wow that deer running across was such a great sight. Loved it. Now, back to the video.

@benwinters951 Год назад

Watched this video last night and set up the alignment stick at the range today. Huge help! It really helps you feel how the club should drop in the slot and that move leads to a better (seemingly effortless) turn. Great video Chris!

Chris. I’ve been playing golf for just over 20 years, ( started aged 50 ), always an “ over the top” swing. I’ve just taken this to the course and hit the furthest drive I’ve ever made. So many good shots in the round. Here’s hoping I can get it into my routine. Trail arm under lead arm, simple. Many thanks.

@Uncle19 3 года назад

Ive struggled over the top all my golf career and never thought that forward in stance would cause it. I purposely play it very forward to encourage the weight shift forward and higher launch. Gonna have to try this over the weekend!

@leesters82 3 года назад

This is exactly what I need Chris especially moving the ball towards your trail heel at address. My hands at the top of the backswing are going in a straight line towards the golf ball (you refer to this in another video of yours involving hitting the driver). I like how you ‘guarantee’ this will fix it but I’ll not hold you to it lol! Great content Chris 👍🏻

Good evening Chris, I’m subscribed to your channel and don’t know how I missed this video, I’ve recently changed my irons and can’t hit them 😁, upon videoing myself for some unbeknown reason I have started coming over the top, So fortunately I own the very same bag and although receiving many strange looks at the range, I have tried this sequence of drills out , for 4 consecutive visits, and as always everything you preach WORKS, Thank you so much for your excellent simplistic coaching and sharing on RU-vid All the best Darran Ball

@paulgutermann8413 3 года назад

I have struggled to correct the over the top swing for years. Some of the difficulty I had derived, I believe from my baseball swing because I am a dead pull hitter. Your videos, not just this one, have done wonders for my golf swing. I have never heard before the points you make here about the position of the ball. Early on in my golf instruction, I was told to keep the ball further forward in my stance (I think because my release was late in the swing.) More recently I have been trying to have the ball further back in my stance, but I tend to let it creep forward as I play a round. I can’t wait to do these drills to see and feel ball flight changes as I play around with ball position. Thanks again.

@ChrisRyanGolf 3 года назад

Really hope they help Paul, ball position is so important and can make a huge difference, hope that drill helps

I am doing this drill everyday. This is without a doubt, the absolute best drill. It teaches that the golf swing kind of has two parts, one the downswing to the inside, and two, the turn which squares the club. Love this!

Hi Chris, great stuff, been following this channel for a couple of years now. Can you do a video on approach shots from say 120 yards out? I have a difficult time dialing in the distance as well as getting it on line to my target. I’m a two handicap and getting better at this would save me several shots a round. Thanks!

@golfnutnz9274 3 года назад

Brilliant Chris, thank you again for sharing another awesome lesson, I’m definitely heading to the range this afternoon. To help others with the creativity for making a strike bag, I had an old kit bag and stuffed an old duvet into it... bit of a struggle and had to tie it shut, but it works a treat by hitting the bottom part, which has a tough layer.

@ChrisRyanGolf 3 года назад

Love that, bet it works great, sometimes you have to get a little creative with training aids 👍😁

@golfnutnz9274 3 года назад

Tried moving the ball around in my stance on the range and it confirmed my over the top problem; when hitting a 7i I had the ball in the back of my stance it didn’t go the same shape as yours (R to L), it went L to R, which I think emphasises my OTT problem! Yet when I put the ball forward (inside left heel as driver) it went pretty straight. I also moved my left hand around the grip a little to close the face for a stronger grip and the ball still went straight! Something has gone to pieces that needs to be back on line before a club match on Sunday 😥 so I certainly need to get busy with the bag on a regular basis.

@ElTeesModellingCorner 3 года назад

Thanks for this excellent video. It's just what I need at the moment, even though I've shot 75-79 in six of the last 7 rounds I've played. When I try to hit my 5 iron, hybrid or 3 wood I feels like I'm coming over the top on almost every shot. Gonna bring these drills to the practise range tomorrow for sure...

Good interesting lesson. I like the theory and I’ll get some practice in this week. 👍. Cheers.

@wdilks 2 месяца назад

For me, I was taught years and years ago to bring the club back down the way you brought it back. Plus, if you're moving forward, looks to me like you would miss the bag completely. But hey...if this works for you, great!!! We always need help. Thanks for all you do, Chris.

@inusprinsloo1257 2 года назад

Hi, great drills! Just one concern: won't the 3rd drill make you lean back and not transfer your weight to the left? I saw some drills for helping weight transfer by moving the ball forward (towards the left), which is what you are advising against in this video. So whilst it could help curing swinging over the top, it could negatively impact on weight transfer (?)

@craigwhite8416 3 года назад

Well. Just got back from the range. I have been a chronic over the top golfer all my life. Its not perfect, but using your first drill I was amazed at the results. I'm 68 years old. My PW before travelled about 100 yds on avg. I'm now hitting it around 120 (mini draw, sometimes a big pull). Of all the lessons and videos this is the best result oriented advice yet. I don't think I'm clearing my hips well but still...progress. I'm a slow learner (really slow) but I learn. I'm hoping that the "missing this piece" video will help me with this as well. Off to the range tomorrow and will try your third drill with the ball back in my stance. Stay tuned.

@ChrisRyanGolf 3 года назад

Great to hear craig, progress is the key thing no matter the speed, as long as you can keep trending in the right direction

@alanmoore2818 Год назад

Chris, I think this drill makes complete sense. My only challenge is that I tend to come over the top early in the downswing (with a steep shaft) and then somehow correct it half way down by re-routing the club and early extending. This means that at impact - all being well - I do actually come from the inside. But it is erratic as it involves perfect timing and early extension. Do you have any drills that stop the over the top move right at the very start of the downswing?

@mntlblok 11 месяцев назад

Got here with that very issue. That the golf gods allow "some" percentage of perfect shots, it means that when you hit the really crappy one with what feels like the same swing, then the degree of anger and disappointment is greatly magnified. Those first two drills look to be both boring and potentially painful. :-) The third one, however, looks to be much more fun, and I don't see how it could be done *without* dropping the hands down more "in the back". Sick of trying to manipulate my right elbow and left wrist in an uncomfortable manner. Seems like just more of the same "sometimes the timing is right, sometimes not". That third drill with the ball back would seem to have the potential for grooving the move without having to think about it. Can see where I might just block the ball out to the right, but hitting into a net, so what? Shall give it a go and see if I can earn a cheap "feel".

@mntlblok 11 месяцев назад

Gave it a go with DTL video. Still the same ugly early extension. Maybe that's just not what this is designed to fix, as I generally manage to "come from the inside" with my manipulations, anyway. Ball placed way back in my stance didn't make my hands arrive any lower to P6. My P6 seems to "align" OK, but my hands are clearly in a higher position than what good swings show. Oh, well. Lots of shot results seem nice from that position. Shall just lower my expectations and work more on the shot game. 🙂

@gcalhoun3826 Год назад

Great series of drills to help stop my "over the top" swing flaw. I was shocked how well I hit the ball when I moved it back in my stance! My ball speed increased & carry significantly, my club path changed from outside to inside, and I hit some mini-draws & eliminated my normal slice. It is possible to transition over time to moving the ball more forward in my stance?

@alecsiegrist6277 6 месяцев назад

I know it’s been 8 months since you commented… Moving the ball forward in the stance tends to make your club path go more from out-to-in (fades and slices)

Your videos are brilliant. I am an unusual case. I am a dentist and had to give up the game in 1997 because my arms and hands and back could not take the additional stress of playing golf. I was a seven handicap at the time and it was hearbreaking but I needed to continue to make a living. Now, after close to twenty five years, I am retired and have decided to try and get my game back. It is going pretty well but I do not have the same body that I did twenty five years ago and my muscle memory was a little thin. I also had to learn to put away my MacGrgeor persimmon driver and begin learning to hit one of those frying pans on a stick. Your lessons have been enormously helpful in all regards. I was also a Dental Professor and so I know a bit about teaching things which can be very hard to learn. A great teacher makes things seem much easier than they might seem to the student. You surely do that. I send my gratitude to wherever it is you are. I am in New Hampshire! Cheers, then!
