Chuck, As a left arm dominate player, is rotary or one plane as hardy describes it, a beneficial way to swing the club? I was always a closed face type player and a left arm pull dominate player with no real release of the clubhead until way past impact. I was naturally a "2 plane" type swinger and had a lot of success. I started taking instruction on getting the shaft to return on the shaft plane instead of slighly above as a 2 plane type swinger would do. I have struggled to say the least.

@golfaddictprostyle Whoa buddy! That's a lot of questions and youtube only allows 500 chars at a time! You're best off posting on our forum at rotaryswing com slash forum so I can fully answer, but let me try and answer a couple ?'s here. If you're completely left arm dominant, you'll end up with a late release as you mentioned. To make it up for it, most rotate their upper torso faster but this is hard on the body and takes more effort, you're best off learning how to release the right.

The Hardy concept of keeping the shoulder turn steep in the 1 plane type swing has me very confused. What is the truth about the shoulder turn? Should the shoulders be as steep as hardy says in the 1 plane or rotary type swing? There's something not right about the instruction out there regarding 1 plane type swings. How does the left arm work up and hinge the club correctly while maintaining the steep shoulder turn? The balance is just not there with the steep turn. I am doing something wrong.

@golfaddictprostyle There's no need to turn the shoulders that steep, simply perpendicular to your spine is what you're after. However, he advocates a super steep spine angle, so he is likely still perpendicular, just with more spinal tilt at address.

Chuck, thanks for your efforts here to make things easier. The one thing that has been my downfall over the past few years has been the hinging of the club in the rotary swing. I changed from a "2" plane type swing over to a more centered swing over the the few years and had some success early but since then have struggled with it. The main problem is the hinging and blending the shoulder glide with the hinge. I tried studying hardy and just can't get the shoulder and left arm to work correctly

@golfaddictprostyle You'll see on the website that what is likely missing is shoulder elevation after the Takeaway.

This one video single handidly changed my entire view of my golf swing . It was almost too simple to be true so in reality I did not take it to heart. I did become a member of chuck's site and learned and learned. As my body and brain started to develop the correct nerve pathways and " muscle memory," I came back to this video and realized how essential it was. This is the foundation of my swing and I thank chuck for it. I have searched far and wide for info like this but never had

Wow! At first I was like, "what is this guy talking about?" But I stood up and tried this and was amazed on how easy it was to take away. I have tried so many drills for the takeaway, its not even funny. Looking forward to more videos!

@cquinton Thank you, Chuck. I really do think you are the only one that can cure me. Honestly, I was a great player. I had natural ability and tried taking my game to the big leagues. Unfortunately, I took the wrong route and ended up being massively confused to the point where I need to start all over again. I did have a bad injury to my right leg and that was the start of my downfall in terms of time frames. If I can get my backswing corrected and style understod I know I can regain my magic
