This ONE Drill Makes the Golf Swing Feel Effortless
Things we can learn from the video
Press to jump
- 2:08Ryan identifies an overly steep swing, with Tom's hands pushed forward.
- 4:50Adjusting foot flare and stance gives Tom more freedom to rotate.
- 5:58The float drill uses a hovering club and light grip to help Tom feel its weight.
- 10:10Ryan rehearses a takeaway driven by torso rotation rather than vertically lifting the arms.
- 14:43Tom practises full swings with the club travelling more freely around his body, producing cleaner contact.
Tom is trying to control his golf swing. Chris Ryan wants him to loosen his hold on it a little.
That contrast gives "This ONE Drill Makes the Golf Swing Feel Effortless" its substance. The most watched of ChrisRyanGolf's five new uploads, with roughly 10,000 views, follows a student struggling with contact and wayward ball flights. Ryan identifies an overly steep swing, then works from the ground up: adjusting Tom's stance and foot flare before asking him to hover the club and feel its weight moving behind him.
"Don't be afraid of movement, because movement needs to be there," Ryan tells him. The lesson moves beyond an instructor's demonstration into Tom's attempts to make the change, with cleaner strikes as he lets the club travel more freely around his body. One viewer singles out precisely that sequence: seeing a real student connect the feeling of the club's weight to his body movement gives them something practical to take to the range. Others discuss steep iron swings and the trail foot's movement through the finish.
The week's freshest upload, "The COMPLETE Guide To Hitting Your Driver Perfectly", is attracting the most views per day right now. Its chapter structure treats the swing like a building: setup supplies the foundations, backswing the walls and downswing the roof. Driver instruction is familiar territory here: Ryan's most watched regular video also tackles a common driver fault.
Across the channel, subscribers held steady and daily viewing is a little below its usual level. Nearby in subscriber size, Paige Spiranac is enjoying above-usual daily viewing, while GCN Racing is quieter. Ryan's week stays firmly on the practice ground, with contact, setup and freedom of movement connecting the new lessons.

What viewers say
Watching a real student get his strike back is more useful than a perfect demo. The 'feel the weight' part, then connecting it to what his body does, is a sequence I can actually take to the range.

@sheilasmith5323See it on YouTubeI'm surprised that you didn't get that trail foot moving in the follow through.
