As one of Craig’s students, I can attest to his helpful guidance, and rotary swing is well worth it. Been working on this stuff for a few months now, and my game has already improved to nearly breaking 80 consistently. It’s for real, just have to put the time in, which isn’t much more than 30min a day. So thankful to have found these fellas

Great video. It is a take-off on the very old book drill (holding a book between your hands) but in the Totary Swing protocol. I also find that after a good shoulder shrug a good posture hinge is critical. On the site Chuck goes through a protocol to ingrain it in your swing. It is the Namaste move. If you put your hands in front of your chest like a prayer and you round your back your elbows flair. If you do it right the elbows stay pretty tight to each other.

Such a great video! Flipped my focus and I can't wait to implement into my routine 🤙

[@dekaywill4572]

WOW! That was the first time felt that tension in my core but my arms were completely relaxed. Excellent.

[@Rotaryswing]

Wonderful!

[@WTSPC]

Great Video thanks Craig see you on your site. Paul L UK

[@tomcuddihy9633]

Hi, Craig--Your video makes perfect sense to me. The idea of stop using your arms in the backswing, also not thinking about the arms, really solidifies the concept you are presenting. Thank you.

[@Rotaryswing]

You're welcome Tom. Glad you liked the presentation.

[@totalmonkeyspeed260]

Good stuff, excellent teaching, thanks.

[@markmendelson6688]

The best backswing video I have seen…thank you..I will join when I return from my holiday

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank You Mark. Enjoy your holiday. We will be here when you return.

[@NancyReid]

This had got to be the best drill EVER! This drill has really got me on plane and I am hitting my irons in the sweet spot for the first time in years. Thank you so much!!!

[@Rotaryswing]

Ur welcome!

[@jpicc1113]

Great Job .... very clear and concise explination

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank You Joseph. Much appreciated.

[@gmbtempe]

never heard it explained like that and makes so much sense, well explained video.

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank you Greg!

[@pierrebeaud]

Very good drill Craig as always. I like that rotation feeling which drives arms and hands.

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank You Pierre!

[@rickholub2120]

Great demonstration, Craig! Now I think I finally understand how the right arm should work in the backswing.

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank You Rick. Yep. The arms are kind of boring in the backswing ;).

[@1cwspoonam1]

Excellent job Craig!

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank you kindly!

[@jamesbost4755]

Craig, Interesting. In just about every video I've seen, it showed, in the back swing, the arms were parallel much lower (about waist high instead of the chest). I can see how this could make a world of difference. Thanks

[@brianhiggins3510]

This is the one video that has finally helped me reduce the length of my backswing, which caused a ton of inconsistent shots. With a consistent and stable stopping point, I was also able to better control weight shift and rotation forward. Thanks!

[@BamaPaul]

Craig this is great need more .

[@Rotaryswing]

There’s LOTS more on the site!

[@nycabilifeisgreat9768]

Thank you! Thank you ! I’ll have 2 try this tomorrow during my round ! LOL! Thanks again!

[@Rotaryswing]

Glad you liked. Go give it a shot!

[@larryfine4498]

Seeing this video after playing a round of golf yesterday. I'll share my experience that validates this lesson. I hit a ball in to the woods just off the fairway. I had to play (what I thought was) an abbreviated swing to get out of trouble and get the ball back in play. I brought the club back, hit the ball and, to my surprise, it carried all the way to the green. I played the rest of the round with that swing. Direction was not always consistent, but I lost nothing on distance.

[@Rotaryswing]

Awesome Larry. Really is remarkable how far a ball can travel without using as much effort or size of swing.

[@BamaPaul]

Awesome 👏

[@Rotaryswing]

Much appreciated Paul!

[@3dcadconsultant]

Awesome 😎

[@Rotaryswing]

Thanks Steve.

[@JackDanielVO]

This video transformed my swing--took the advice to the range yesterday and I was flushing 8 out of 10. Amazing advice! Thank you.

[@Rotaryswing]

Fantastic. Thank You.

[@youngmb0]

Excellent, combined with your previous drill for downswing, it is an excellent combo. I'd like one that focuses just on the hand and wrist postions from just before trail pocket on downswing to through the release. Regards.

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank You Mike. Great news. Behind the scenes we are already working on a big project pertaining to the wrists/hand positions.

[@BamaPaul]

Should the upper arms stay connected to pecs pretty much ?

[@DannyPodesta]

How many reps do you recommend working this drill?

[@Rotaryswing]

All depends on your prior movement patterns. Some players may need more reps than others. Always strive for at least 100 in any training session when trying to make a big change.

[@francescopmaratta2685]

Great Vid RST Instructor Craig Morrow Here !

[@Rotaryswing]

Much thanks Frank!

[@detlefstronk8912]

Great video. But Chuck Quinton recommends in the dead drill to pull the right shoulder muscle to the spine in the backswing. You do not recommend this. Why?

[@Rotaryswing]

You are absolutely correct and this is occurring in the drill. Maintaining the trail arm straight will aid in getting the trail shoulder behind you. It's happening in the drill without you thinking about it. Just another drill to achieve the same motion you describe.

[@BonteBali]

Nope! This feel is not the same. In the real back swing the right arm started bending much earlier
