Chris Ryan demonstrates how to recover your golf swing when you lose consistency right before a big round. He details the 9-to-3 drill, which uses four specific finish-position checkpoints—weight distribution, body rotation, arm extension, and club direction—to 'auto-correct' the impact position without complex swing thoughts.
Focus on the 'destination' of the swing (the finish) to naturally improve the impact position.
Ensure 100% of your weight is on the lead leg at the 3 o'clock finish position.
Keep your elbows close together at the finish to maintain arm extension and avoid 'chicken winging.'
The grip of the club should point back toward your body at the finish to prevent over-active wrists at impact.
Scale the drill by moving from a preset weight setup to a dynamic full-speed swing to bridge the gap to the course.
