Awesome sound....how far Chuck?

Hey Chuck great swing, I am a follower of rst. I've always have a flatter club on my back swing. I was wanting to try to make it point a little more at the golf ball. I can send a video to you if that helps.

[helenathena]

nice! but higher would be better, pretty low for a 5

[remmy100]

@helenathena eh, tomatoes, tomatoes. 

[TheFlannabhra]

hey chuck,

I am an avid golfer playing on my high school team. I am having trouble compressing the ball( I normally hit it thick..) anything you'd recommend?

Thanks!!

Cameron

@TheFlannabhra Could be a million different things. Try posting your swing on our website to have someone take a look.

paul casey ? haha jk

[STIKIDU]

i'd love this video in slow motion ...

[inmhstn]

I noticed your wrist position at the top of the swing is slightly "bowed out" is that something you work on ?

[inmhstn]

@inmhstn Looks like that question has been answered

[clarkyboy63]

hi chuck, really good swing! i have recently watched some of the tips on rotary swing and have found them really useful, i am a mini tour player who is not known for ball striking, but in the last 2 months i have gained at least 30 yards on my driver, i know my swing speed last year was 105mph its gotta b 115 now surely!! i can hear the irons fizzing now! thanks for ur crystal clear excellent instruction!

[cquinton]

@clarkyboy63 Hey clarky, what tour are you playing on right now?

[ayc120]

chuck,

got ur book and finally got to launch those penetrating long irons. Thanks! But ur RSTour swing has ur left wrist cupped at the top... Is that a conscious move? Weaker grip? Also, u dont have ur right hands covering at the 9 o'clock position... Is the RST more upright?

[cquinton]

@ayc120 My wrist is flat as a pancake here, not sure what you're referring to.

[ayc120]

exactly my pt... since we dont start out with flat wrists at address, do u consciously flatten out that wrist angle at the top? Ive been playing "army golf" lately and I cant figure out why...

[cquinton]

Ahh, gotcha. Happens due to the slight hinging that happens in the right wrist as the left arm rotates inward. Did you watch the Left Arm Downswing Drill? This will help you getting control of your direction.

@cquinton

Isn't this precisely what Faldo is talking about in his book (Winning Formula) re "backsetting" the r. wrist? The idea seems almost identical to yours--a move, natural for some and not for others, in which the rotation of the club onto plane results in a setting-back of the right wrist on itself and a commensurate flattening of the left wrist. It really is telling, just how universal this is among good players--probably 95% of the best swings have at least some degree of it.

[mattyco1234]

@ayc120 the more likely cause for your army golf is that you're so focused on mechanics that you aren't able to make confident agressive swings. No matter how good you get your mechanics, you still need to make confident agressive swings to hit it pure. And trust me, that is easier said than done. Even Chuck here, with that amazing swing (might be best ive seen), if he swings tentatively he can hit a pull hook or a block. General point: it's not just mechanics.

@mattyco1234 thx dude

inmotion70, please visit the website for more detail. We have a board of biomechanists (PhD from the US Olympic committee) and Orthopedic surgeons who provide medical expertise, not just one person.

Chuck,

I'm skeptical of most golf teaching...I'm sure you understand. So I hope you don't mind a few questions..

What is your formal educational background in kinesiology?

How did you arrive at "the one and only way to rotate your body around your spine?" Was this in an ergonomics lab studying forces on the spine?

Why aren't you using your spine to create leverage?

If you are a kinesiologist, or an advocate of kinesiology, why doesn't your swing look more like Dr. Mike Austin?

[cquinton]

GolfVidJp, it's FAR from being an issue of training a muscle, it's using the right muscles in the swing. This is far too complex a topic to describe in 400 characters, but the website videos go into significant detail of the use of the right scapula and its movements to remain connected, as well as there are many posts in the forum on the topic.

[GolfVidJp]

You stay connected as well as anyone I've seen.

What part of the core do you recommend training to help in staying connected???

Thanks
