This 6-Second Golf Move Fixes Your Swing Sequence Instantly

Golf instructor Ashley Knoll teaches the CFCL (Chest First, Chest Last) drill designed to resolve over-the-top moves and sync downswing sequencing. By focusing on moving the chest first on the backswing and keeping it facing away from the target on the downswing, golfers create natural hip separation. The video also introduces a six-second continuous practice swing routine inspired by Tiger Woods.

• Most amateur swing sequencing issues stem from the chest and pelvis turning at the exact same time.
• CFCL stands for Chest First (initiating the backswing) and Chest Last (keeping the chest facing back during the downswing transition).
• Maintaining chest rotation away from the target on the downswing naturally allows the lower body to open first without mechanical overthinking.
• Match your trail hand placement (top, side, or bottom) using the One Simple Rule (OSR) to compliment your natural swing plane.
• Rehearse three continuous open-handed CFCL swings in a 6-second window directly before stepping up to hit your shot.
