- Im not too sure why but i've never shared these secrets on youtube before, but I know it can help so many of you who are looking to increase your driving distance.
Ever since in started playing I always had the ability to drive the ball farther than most, and as I improved and my handicap started to drop it became almost like my 'super power'. As i leaned into this more and developed this skill I found myself being able to generate some fairly decent speeds, so I wanted to share with you the key moves that I focus on to help me do this.
The 4 key thoughts are actually quite simple, easy to focus on and non technical so no reason why you can't implement these into your game right away, they helped me consistently driver the ball over 375yds and so i know first hand that they work!
The 4 moves are in mindset, takeaway transition and impact, improve these like I did and you will see some serious gains in your driving distance.
As always i'd love to hear your thoughts so ask any questions in the comments and ill get back to you

Chris, this is one of the BEST videos you or anyone else has done. I'm sure you're aware of the intense competition for eyeballs by skilled golf instructors on CZcams. Your videos are right up there at the top to demonstrate technique for all manner of shots. But this 12 minute video covers a topic and demonstrates a progressive technique to "let it rip!" when you're teeing off on a wide open fairway. I'm quite certain many amateur golfers like me will very much appreciate what you said and demonstrated. THANKS!
Thanks so much, appreciate it đ
Great stuff! Love your new approach to lessons which are very well presented to help the common golfer understand and yet based so much on new technical findings from golf research.
I'm glad you prefaced this video with your "natural ability". Physical ability is not talked about enough. Can you imagine how hard it is for me to have tried everything 2023/24 and it all averages 180 carry?
Brilliant vid! Thank you.
Thanks Chris
Brilliant lesson as always. Iâll certainly be trying this at the range tomorrow
Thanks Steve
Awesome vid mate. I've been getting a feeling of being cramped for space with driver through the ball. I like how a power move can give me more space in the hitting zone. Can't wait to try!
Well done Chris đ đ
Thanks Roy đ
#1 on the Tube. No waffle, no spinning things out, no endless anecdotal monologues and no mixed messages. Brilliant as ever.
Thanks so much đ
I always aim to a point on the fairway that allows me to not be perfect and the ball finds the fairway. So no matter if the ball drifts left or right it doesnât matter.
Great video Chris. Thank you as I can relate 100%! At 50, even though Iâm the same height and weight and actually stronger than I was in my 20âs, everything else ages (except both of my hip sockets are both only 10 years old) and my driver distance has reduced slightly. That being said Iâm happy with 260-275 metres from the tee. I canât reach long Par5âs in two shots anymore and Iâm ok with this as my main focus has shifted to the scoring irons to help ensure just one put.
Ive always said do it your way what feels good for you will work
As a senior, beginner, high hcp player I can only be flabbergasted.đ Iâll give it a try when nobody is watching âŠđ€Ł
I was lucky enough to see Chris hitting the driver in person. That was really impressive. The sound was that (for some reason) only pros can produce. Actually, this "100% sweet spot" sound impressed me even more than distance. A different league, in short.
That was a few years ago now Andrey, great trip though
@@ChrisRyanGolf Yeah, a few.. But I still hear that sound!)). Cheers to Alistar as well!
Hi Chris,
Iâm 75 and recently started topping the ball when driving, I mean consistently topping it, destroying my game. This despite raising tee height. Iâve always hit the driver very well in the past and got to 10 handicap in my younger days. Nowhere near that nowđą
I see some Steve Furlonger influences đ„đ„đ„
Bobby Jones always said that he started the swing with his left side, donât pick the club up with your hands
Brilliant golf tuition
Thanks Richard
Chris, when do you start pushing up? Thank you
Back and up with the lead hip with a push away with the lead foot .
The full speed reads faster that trackman by couple mph on ball and clubhead speed .still good video best thing to do is get in gym and get stronger to hit it hard đȘđ»đȘđ»
Great advice. Can you apply this to iron swings and gain more distance?
For sure for longer irons but if you want precision and consistency I wouldn't recommend it for approach shots.
Hey Chris! When you say swing harder where is the club speed coming from? Is it your body rotation, hip rotation, setting of the trail arm wrist, or just old fashioned arm speed?
Personally for me itâs everything, faster backswing, faster downswing, faster hips, arms, club etc. that first point is a little more of a mindset rather than a swing change, itâs just having the intent to move faster
Agree with a lot of tips. However, and ive said this on other videos. Almost all of the longest hitters on the PGA tour have pretty slow backswings...cameron champ, jake knapp, gary woodland, luke list... incredibly slow takeaways. Sometimes this can have the effect or feeling that you have to activate the lower body to generate some speed, which in turn results in the downswing starting correctly with the body before the arms and hands.
Yeah absolutely, plenty out there who send it with slower moves away, but when it comes to maxing out speed generally faster is better, go up a level and look at the long drive competitors and there are no slow moves away to my knowledge, but always swings that buck the trend
@@ChrisRyanGolf I think it's probably better for the long drive guys, but not sure if it's the best way to attain high 170 or even 180 ball speed . Remember there are 13 other clubs to play with, no point sacrificing the whole bag and swing for 15-20 yards
Well yeah I certainly wouldnât advocate this with a wedge or short iron, or even say that you âmust do thisâ. I canât control who watches these videos, so is it wise for them to work on this or not? I donât know, I believe this to be accurate info and movements that will add speed but ultimately it comes down to the viewer to make good decisions on what is good for their game
Chris- 3&4 were good, but showing by lifting the grip, caused the club to move more, was better. As Iâve gotten a lot older than you, I started using what youâre describing. Itâs helped me with more solid contact and distance. I tend to hit a higher ball flight as well, as I tee the ball a little higher and hit more up on the driver⊠Something that may help some of the experienced golfers watching your channel, that are even beyond 70âŠ..
Thanks Ron glad to hear your have adapted your swing, so key to try and keep the distance for as long as possible
Great lesson. However, how do I not have any swing thoughts when working on these 4 things in an action that lasts 1 second? đ
Great question, these arenât positional thoughts but concepts. Technical swing thoughts such as club face here, shaft more vertical etc can reduce speed or make it more difficult for you to achieve max speed. Iâve tried to create this video with concepts and visuals, so yeah I guess they are swing thoughts in a way but Iâve had so many success stories using these ideas and most are able to move away faster, slam the foot and jump, but everyone is different so may not work for everyone
This basically falls into the realms of what we say down here in NZ when we want a big drive, down wind with a big open fairway, that is: âsmash the snot out of itâ! đ
đ€Łđ€Łlove that! May see if I can get that to catch on here in the U.K.
Would the feeling of the club head being stuck to the ground work for irons also? Or is this strictly a power move with driver
It would, although Iâm probably not encouraging it with irons, rather than do that Iâd look to change club, but in theory yes it will work
Iâve gotten an issue thatâs cropped up since Iâve started swinging harder and faster in that my left knee seems to point to target and be bent as I fire my hips open and move weight forward and then straightens sometime shortly after impact. I was wondering if you have a video or lesson on how to combat that.
Iâm not exactly sure I can picture that move, sort of counts like what should happen so maybe Iâll not fully understanding the move you are describing
@@ChrisRyanGolf is there a way I could send you a video? I think itâs causing me to hit real bad fat shots and hooks with everything
Would you do the same with a 3wood off the fairway?
If you were after more speed then yep absolutely
ââ@@ChrisRyanGolfI'm really interested in this series of efficient swings. Im wondering if this new info would help with better contact while improving with distance without trying to swing my hardest
funny how some launch monitors give you 40 yds roll out,the one I was driver fitted for only gives you 20yds or so.. I play in Tennessee where it rains all the time..lucky to get 10 yds roll..At 3:27 into vid you swung at 110mph and got 267yds carry..I was swinging within a mile or 2 swing speed,similar spin,smash,launch and only getting 255yds..makes no sense
That can also depend on ball, launch, spin, curve etc so those do play a part. If you are getting fitted though as long as itâs like for like it actually doesnât matter too much, they generally all should be very accurate for launch, spin etc which are the key numbers
I think guiding works against accuracy, as well as speed
Agreed, nothing good comes from trying to over control the golf club
Best video ever!!! So relevant. LOVE that demonstration on the effect of upwards movement on a pendulum. OMG đȘđĄđ€Ż. So many YT swing analysts say that what should be done, (as they draw random lines all over the screen) but never say why.... until now. You are the only one! I thank you for your upload, your time, experience and the knowledge transferred đ
Thanks so much glad it helped đ
Taller than Rory which surely adds bigger arc etc ?
Height definitely helps when it comes to distance
Basically the same lesson Bryson gave on his channel. :)
Yeah most likely, the info is getting a lot more âout thereâ now so we sort of know what the power movements are
Every time I try to really pound the ball I top the shit out of it or leave the club face just slightly open and crush it wayyyy right đ
Might be equipment
@@jacobr4558 how so ?
Overpowering the shaft can be one issue
@@benbaum8183 donât think thatâs it âŠ. I have a Ventus vele-core stiff and I donât have a swing speed enough to over power it đâŠ. I just need to practice way faster swings I guess ⊠it just goes really bad when I try đ
@@nataliedeyton6829 could be all sorts of factors! Maybe the shaft is too heavy maybe it's too light maybe the balance point is too high or too low set the balance points too low the club head will feel way too heavy and if the balance points too high the club head will feel way too whoopy. Equipment is an absolute Game Changer and doesn't get talked about enough in the right ways. For example most of the drivers today the head weights are very high yet they still sell them at a swing weight that's like D2 or D3 even though it's 45 inches long. Many Pros nowadays actually use high balanced shafts or counterbalance shafts to offset the weight of the head so the club head can feel a little bit lighter. For me personally my swing speed was literally topping out at like 97 miles an hour with the driver even though with the irons my club head and ball speed was not very far off from professionals. Literally just by changing the driver shaft the swing speed went from 97 to more around 1:08 extremely significant difference. So my point is with topping the ball it could be the length of the shaft it could be the weight of the shaft it could be where the shaft kicks it could be the balance point of the shaft there's so many factors
Being precise has never been my issue đ
đ€Łđ€Łđ€Ł
I think about dragon punching the ball like fkin Ryu in Street Fighter 2
đ€Łđ€Łlove that
200 ball speed is impressive
Not even close these days đ€Ł
375 consistently? No way. Rory, the #1 driver on tour just averaged 340 last weekend
Hey Scott, he did, super impressive! I certainly never claimed to be a better driver of the golf ball than Rory, but I did have decent speed a few years back
RORY IS THAT YOU đź?!
Just checked my bank balanceâŠ. Itâs not Rory đ€Łđ€Ł
375yds consistently? I doubt that. Didnt't see any drive in this video that came even close. Good video though.
But you also watched the start where I said that was quite a few years ago and that I was no where near that now??
Iâve really no need to lie
I didn't see Rory's body move ?
