the instructors on the golf channel are morons..a golfer will learn more from watching the guy in this clip, opposed to watching michael breed and the other muppets for the whole of 2012
Hi Chuck, your golf swing concept is so obvious and simple that makes me fall in love with golf again. One question, I have a too long backswing, How can I shortened my swing in order to not to lose the stability and hit the ball as you should? thanks and have a great year
@PAPITOROY Take a look at the takeaway and rotation videos on the site. You'll learn how to rotate properly and stop letting your arms dictate your backswing.
Just a quick question, when you talk about "moving the shoulder blade towards your spine" would this also apply to when you are releasing the club in the swing and turning the other way when you are finishing your swing. Obviously im talking about the other shoulder blade in this instance. I tried doing this and found that i balanced out much better after doing this and also helped my swing path after compact with the ball
Hi chuck : I learned about you 2 days ago, while looking for video tips at youtube.I was amazed about every single video clip of you,giving instructions,etc. After the 1st video clip, i added it to my favorite,then video after video i kept on adding them all..hehehe. In other words.. you are brilliant . About the golf channel video, I couldnt believe why any other instructor never show a so simple explanation of the take-away & golf swing like you do. i see why you didnt win,coz they dont get it
Thanks again Chuck ffor such a clear answer. I think I must be elevating without thinking about it. Swing going really well thanks to you. Currently playing off 7 but swing much better than that now. Will you ever be in the UK to teach? I would be interested in a few private lessons if you are. Cheers, Mark.
@FitFast8 No plans to come to the UK at the moment, but it's possible if we were able to arrange a couple clinics over there. Sam Jarman teaches RST in the UK, you should look him up. He's listed on our site as a Certified RST Instructor.
Hi Chuck-I've been studying your method-bought the RST Manual-very good. Thinking ALOT about the swing. Do you actually need to elevate the shoulders in the backswing? It feels like an unnecessary step which obviously requires the shoulders to decend in the downswing. I'm sure you know the answer-what is the reason for the elevation? I couldn't work it out and I'm hitting good shots without actively elevating. Your explanation would be much appreciated. Thanks
@FitFast8 If you don't elevate, the arms will continue to work around the body more and you'll tend to have a flatter, deeper position at the top. How much you elevate is what I consider a "variable" of RST, some will have more than others and that's perfectly fine. The reality is you probably have a little bit of elevation in your swing without having to consciously feel it. If you don't, then your hands are going to be deep behind the right shoulder at the top or you have a very short b-swing
RST is the most SOLID means to a efficient golf swing. In this video, a mere 2-inches leads to any EASY take-away, which sets up the rest of the golf swing. 'Quit searching for quick tips' and give RST a try.
i just saw the 3 finalists. i mean, come on. i like martin hall but not like he is new to the scene. he has already been on GC loads of times? i dont know the other candidates but GC really missed a opportunity to get a fresh voice out there.
still im glad that im the only one of my friends that knows about RST! not good for your wallet CQ but happy for everyone else to be listening to conventional dumbed down patter
@kevskigolf Aww man, you don't want to share with your friends!! Come on, if you share RST with everyone, there won't be 5 hour rounds of misery anymore!
Too good for the golf channel-they probably have deal with the governing bodies to not reveal the truth about the swing, so people keep coming back to their teachers. Thats my conspiracy theory! All the best.
Lol. Seriously Chuck you're onto something here-I'm a big fan of your method. Give it a few years and everyone will be teaching this way-I'm slowly converting my friends and will try to get them to sign up to the site.
A couple of questions-First, what's the best way to stop the head diving towards the ball in the takeaway? (I was thinking controlling the left knee bend &making sure the shoulder turn is rotational?) Secondly is this RST good enough for top PGA level/major wins? Thanks
@FitFast8 If your head is diving, it's a typical counter balancing response to you moving the arms deep and across the body too early and/or being too far toward the balls of the feet at address. Also happens when you don't separate the rotation of the upper and lower halves of the body.
As for winning, it could easily be argued that RST has been the winningest swing pattern in modern golf. Tiger Woods, Trevor Immelman, Rory McIllroy, Justin Rose, Sean O'Hair all have many RST swing traits.

@timpv It does happen to a degree, but you have to be careful that you don't over do it and get the torso open at impact.

More instruction like this would eliminate hours of practice trying to get the club into certain positions in the swing.I know because i',ve done it.
