Your hands and arms play a crucial role in your golf swing and many of the golfers that i work with struggle due to how their arms move, especially during the downswing. What they should do however is often mis understood and the ‘correct’ move may well shock many of you.
The hands and arms have to have space arriving into impact, if you give them that space then strike, consistency and distance all become much more likely, in this video I will share with you some really simple drills that can help you improve your arm movement in your own swing.
Ive seen this drill help hundreds if not thousands of golfers so i’m confident that it can help you too
As always enjoy the video and ill love to hear from you in the comments below the video

Always love your videos man. Thanks for posting!
I love this – so so important and so neglected – by coincidence I just started to try this out but was not sure what I was doing was right – so cannot wait to try your drill out tomorrow 🙏😊🏌🏼♂️
Your a Great teacher of the game Chris,,,an old USA veteran,,,,,thanks,,, you’ve helped my game
With driver too?
Nice. WOW. Wish I knew that sooner. Thanks for that tip
Very interesting, thanks.
Love the recent videos you’ve been doing about forearm rotation. I basically tried to fight this for years until recently and struggled because of it. Swing feels much more on plane when I let them rotate more freely. Keep up the great content, thanks!
So the lead hand is moving forward towards the ball almost immediately?
Ermm ok i did shank it lol
Seems a very complicated analysis. Surely this will happen naturally during the downswing since it would be impossible to maintain the angle between arms and golf golf club at adress, when you swing it at 80mph. Your arms will automatically raise due to centrifugal force.??
I have about 15 golf teachers saved on my YouTube. Most are good and I pick up a little here and there. I found yours last Sunday. I can't get enough, obsessed with your material. I do a lot of mirror, video etc of my swing. My ball stricking in less than a week has improved! Your information for whatever reason just clicks and makes more sense of a difficult game. I've been playing since 1986, 64 now and I think I've learned more on Youtube in a year than all the other years waiting for a new lesson in golf digest or golf magazine that fit my issue. Lol I would devour books, golf my way, Greg Norman series with Butch Har
Would you not have to be careful when doing this so the club doesn’t get yanked inside when making sure hands move out?
Not convinced on this one to be fair
I understand this conceptually, but believe I have brought my hands “in” so that I prevent throwing the club over the top and casting. Would what I’m doing then be an over correction to get shallow?
Cheers big man brilliant job again 👍
You have done other videos on this. Please keep it up. Your explanation is the best I have ever seen. Most YT instructors don't even talk about this. I added about 20 yards with my hybrid practicing this move. Awesome!!
Good stuff. My arms were getting stuck being too close to my body. Thanks for discussing this topic.
From down the line, I just watched a slow motion video of Tiger Woods hitting an iron shot.
From his set up to just before contact when his golf club is parallel to the ground, his hands did in fact move quite a distance away from his body.
GREAT video, Chris!!!
Is this just for hitting down on irons mate? Or does it apply to driver swing too?
As usual pure 🔥🔥🔥
Omg! This whole time I’ve been fighting to keep my hands closer to my body, especially on the down swing! I can’t wait to try this on the range!
Does this drill goes the same with driver or no chris?
Thanks
Wow I watch a lot of instruction and this is the first time I have seen this lesson. I have always struggled to get a bow in my wrist and get compression without pulling the ball off the planet but now it is much easier. My right arm is unstuck and I now have so much room to deliver the club. I know this is going greatly improve my consistency. I just subscribed. Thanks!!!
So once you explaind this, I had an a-ha moment like a light bulb shaped like a bomb that looked like an epiphany with an eureka shaped mushroom cloud in my brain.
All of a sudden now I'm making turf contact and I don't feel like I'm having to shrug my shoulders like I was before.
Would that process work with driver ?
I had been working on this after the video you did with Tom because while I wasn't steep wit the club shaft my hand path was a bit steep and got the club a bit too far outside. This really did the trick. The one big thing is having to now adjust my release pattern or it is hosel city, but when I get the grip moving up and left in the middle of the club every time.
Nice lesson. Part of the problem in doing this full speed with amateurs is we move the hands too deep before moving handle to left thigh. What your brain thinks you are doing and what the body is doing are two different things. The only way I was able to fix this was to video tape myself until I got it right. I told my brain make the move earlier. The video showed I was doing the handle movement correctly with this thought change even though in my mind it didn't seem like it. It's all about timing.
This is exactly, 100% my failing in the swing.
Great vid. Just earned yourself a new subscriber. This is what I’ve been looking for.
Really detailed lesson and absolutely shows where and why p6 position is what it is. Fantastic , never really got that before.
Sir Nick Faldo Drill
This the same with driver?
