I saw this video, and then immediately went into my backyard and began crushing the ball into my golf net with an athletic swing that I have always struggled to achieve with all my other left side dominant swing techniques. Yes, I am very right handed. And my only two swing thoughts were 1) complete my backswing; and 2) swing the club down and through the ball with my RIGHT elbow. My weight transfer felt perfect, and yes, I felt the swing was more athletic, powerful and consistent because there were fewer moving parts flopping around. Thank you

[@Raysimons1967]

Hi I discovered this a few years ago when I had a left hand injury and played with just my right hand for a while with great results. It’s still part of my drill today before I hit a ball. Anyone watching this I would totally recommend doing the course as I went from a decent 12 handicap to a 3 handicap in less than a year. Brilliant video buddy 👌

[@Rotaryswing]

Thank you! I began experimenting with right hand because i injured my left pinky!

Chuck - It's pretty fascinating watching your evolution as a teacher. I attended one of your clinics in March of 2016 and I recall that during two days on the range, we weren't even allowed to put our right hand on the club! You're emphasis was all about pulling , not pushing and you had so much "science" behind your view of the golf swing and how it needed to be taught. This is a 180 degree change in nearly every regard: throw vs. pull, full speed vs. slow reps, etc. Having said that, this is what I need right now as my 63 year old body is giving up distance faster than I care to admit. Keep the new ideas coming!

[@Rotaryswing]

Both work and produce the same end result. The big difference is i have watched golfers struggle for years to train the left side and with the right i can get the same results in two days that would normally take two months for the avg golfer. Im most interested in fixing the major issues avg golfers struggle with as fast as possible and this fits that bill to a t

[@dahcargo]

I've seen literally thousands of golf videos on this very subject. What you're saying is absolutely the correct thought. For me anyway, it's the feeling of throwing a sidearm pitch as I've done for a long time. I'm 66 and I know what I'm talking about. It corresponds to the same instruction of one of the most esteemed golf instructors named Pete Cowen, even though he doesn't explain it quite like that!

[@wills2552]

Yeah Cowen talks about the right arm and turning it down, spinning it down into impact keeping shaft pressure whatever that means!

[@dahcargo]

You bet, it is like skipping a rock in a shallow pool for me. It is something that I felt when pitching in baseball, feeling of sidearm pitching. Of course in golf we're doing it slightly bent from the waist. Also letting the right shoulder feel as though it's going down past the balls position while keeping our head back at impact. I hope that makes sense. Sometimes golf instruction can get too complicated so I go with what the movement FEELS like. BTW, Danny Maude has a wonderful explanation of his instruction with Pete Cowen.@@wills2552

[@tonyloerlein2655]

I watched the video where you worked with an older golfer that you tried to & finally got across to him how the hips actually moves. Also, how relaxed the arms need to be & with the proper hip movement produces effortless power. Well I went to my golf league & was able to execute immediately. I only concentrated on the hip movement. My grip pressure has always been light. So, I didn’t do any pulling with left arm. I basically ignored using my arms. I merely tried to make what I felt was a full back swing not forced. My first attempt at a tee shot went right down 275 yards. You are correct it only felt like throwing motion. The shot pattern was a baby draw. I use to pitch as a kid and I was above average pitcher. The power & accuracy was automatically there in the golf swing with your method. I have many of the different methods from Natural Golf to Stack & Tilt. I have never worried about trying different methods & your method was automatic for me. I will be 65 in September. 😊 I look forward to signing up & learning more about your method.

[@BigAl-o7b]

This video has my brain scrambled. I throw left handed, bat left handed, shoot left handed in hockey, but I was forced to play golf right handed as a kid. This resulted in me being a lead side dominant golfer (playing frisbee), even though I throw a frisbee with my right hand (like batting left handed). This literally has me pondering between switching to golf left handed vs training my right arm to “throw” in the golf swing.

[@cameronclark1845]

Tiger woods plays shorterish clubs meaning a 37 inch 7 iron and then relevant lengths throughout his bag, and this includes his woods as well. He's 6ft1 or so, so the clubs he uses are on the shorter side for his height. What that means is he doesn't have to have a longer swing because for his body lengths, shorter the irons don't call for a longer swing, instead he swings down, compact, and harder while still having great control of the club head. The ball is more closer to him and he puts the ball more back in his stance allowing him to take his clubs and really swing down and through to compress and drive the sh*t out of the ball.

He’s 5’ 11”. Don’t believe the media/PGA profile.

[@steveberelo245]

Brother,I really like your dead drill,your simplicity of moves are really a god send for us older golfer's. I've also started adding the right hand,but the key is the slow down at the impact area,to allow the release. It was a Steve Pratt video,where he talks about the hands starting to release and going around to he corner, that's when I married your swing mechanics with the release!! It's truly a great time for all of us lifetime students of the game. I've always believed Hogan's fundamentals were the bible of the swing,but his swing is a young flexible swing,as I aged,it became harder to execute as life took me from competition. Finding your teaching was a blessing,it reinvigorated my inner student,along with Mr. Pratt,my drives are back out in the 265 area,my buddies are again hating me on two down presses😜. Thank you for your insight,keep up the good work.

[@Rotaryswing]

Wow that was fantastic. Thank you. We are 100% in agreement with the hands. I beat that into my students head today that his hands had to slow down in order for the club to speed up and when it clicked he picked up 10 mph with way less effort. Now he’s addicted to the speed he feels!!

[@alexkalafjr.4880]

Great video. Definitely what the 2 Mikes taught. Austin & Dunaway. Someone here mentioned Steve Pratt. He was also a student of the 2 Mikes I just mentioned.

[@oceanyt8]

Sigh. I moved to wrist locking but not getting any better for additional distance. Well my both elbow was hurting now. Am gonna fall back. Thanks mate.

[@dtgpsinc.4289]

There are two basic ways to swing the golf swing. Most golfers including pga pros is Pushing with right arm straightening. Ben Hogan, Jack Nicklaus and Tiger (see 2000), right arm Pulling, as in tug of war. The sign of right arm pulling is that the right arm is bent at impact. Not even Homer Kelley (author of The Golf Machine)imagined both arms Pulling.

[@jessecooper9795]

Same release as Couples and a few other pros. Butch got him to release it like that. Tiger used to get it really shut at the bottom when he was younger

[@boyce504]

I started using this method a few months ago and immediately gained 25+ yards with a slight draw. However by the 12th hole I automatically revert back to my old swing and loss of yardage. My feeling is that I’m throwing a side arm fastball without thinking about hitting positions

[@bigvai4444]

I hear you brother, but tiger woods only had 2 nd hand knowledge. And I have first hand knowledge My swing is built and Invisioned on timing. I used the golf club as a needle and my muscles as the thread. And through my technique which is timing and through my grip i have mastered both hands 🎉❤😂. Like Sam Snead my swing/ pendulum is built within and from the ground and up. 🎉❤ Master of time and space from within. Took me 23 years to master. Secret is the feeling 🎉. Love and light ❤

[@stevenpulley7648]

Does the wrist release and ball strike come down to timing? I watched several player's swings and see that the wrists "turn over/release", like you've said. I keep thinking that the concept comes to it being a matter of "timing". After several swings (right-handed), and rolling my wrists, I've discovered that if the rotation/release of the hands/wrists is late, face open, sending the ball right or releasing wrists early, snapping it left. Just wondering! Are there videos of slow-mo swings to check it out?

[@Rotaryswing]

There are a ton on the site where i cover all these topics

[@michaelfromant3289]

Chuck you talk about your body being broken in a number of places and various restrictions. How should I cope when I have limited movement with external shoulder rotation. It makes it so difficult to get external rotation from the top of the swing rather than internal rotation. Others must suffer from this type of restriction.

[@Rotaryswing]

Yep, it's pretty common. You just have to let the elbow move away from the body a little more at the top and understand you're not going to get in the exact same positions as others on the way down. That's ok because you don't need that much external rotation. Even if you can just get to neutral that's enough

[@Slainte-Mhath]

I am not sure what you are saying re left and right hand feel, it seems we may be mixing up feel and real. Your car pulling the trailer vs pushing the trailer is also problematic because the golf swing is a multi lever system turning on an arc and the car trailer is a single lever moving in a straight line. What it is good to make us appreciate is what using a lever out of order may do. Now I am not a great golfer and have always struggled with distance, so I am not trying to tell anyone how to swing a golf club, but from a physics standpoint the multi levers have to work in a sequence to maximize speed and acceleration. I thank you Chuck for this whole discussion, because I feel that I am finally starting to see how it works and am interested in your thoughts on what I have to say.. 1st the multi lever system is made up of The Club Head, the shaft, it flexes so is the last lever in the sequence) the handle and hands together, the wrists are two levers, the lower hand being the 2nd last lever the top hand the 3rd last. If you bend your left elbow it is another lever is it 4th last in the sequence or is the right elbow (I think right elbow as if the left elbow bends it will straighten before the right elbow straightens. The 1st lever would be the shoulder/arm joints. You also have the levers made by the torso, hips and legs. No wonder we suck at swinging a golf club. So the levers must work in a sequential order and more correctly start in a sequential order as most actually work together at different speeds. Oh Hogan (Golf speak for God ) I think I will go and play tennis. The point I wish to make is that once you get the sequence out of order the club is likely to stop accelerating or worse decelerate (It is not just speed but how much the clubhead is accelerating that provides power - at any given speed the greater the acceleration the greater the compression). Both Ernie and Tiger use the left and the right in the same order. It may be that Tiger just starts the right throw earlier, as there is talk about Tiger and a bit of casting maybe he starts the left earlier too. Ernie still throws with the right otherwise he is unlikely to have much of a release, Back to the car and trailer, it still has something to represent and that is Tiger may throw the right hand, but because his hands are in front of the clubhead at impact (Just before impact for the driver) he is still not pushing the club. He gets it swinging out on the arc and the hands always lead up to at least impact depending on the club. OK please rip this apart and I know I have not covered this completely. I am always happy to learn.

[@edbutler7175]

I am confused if this is the axiom power process or the rotary swing process. Thank ypu

[@Rotaryswing]

This is an extension of the AXIOM Power Program

[@birdieman6473]

If changing to right hand dominant, would an interlocking grip be better than overlapping? I overlap, but when I've experimented with interlocking in the past, I've felt like the right hand was more connected to the club. I've stuck with overlapping because I've tried to NOT let the right hand take over being a right-handed person.

[@Rotaryswing]

I've tried both and stuck with an overlap, but TW uses interlock, I don't think it makes much difference

[@n0body550]

Its really just about feel.

[@mishihockey]

My daughter, 17 is a good player but needs more distance. Using an active right hand should one have a high finish so as not to snap it left ? She has a tendency to hook it with the driver sometimes. Thanks

Definitely not. In the video on the site i talk specifically about exactly what the follow through should look like and why rotaryswing.com/c4/112529-swing-like-the-goat

It's absolutely dumbfounding to me that so many great players actually don't know what it is they're actually doing. There IS an "underlying pattern that makes the golf swing easy to learn," but no one seems to know what is it other than me. I know that's a bold claim but I also know I'm right. It's simple physics! Primary action and secondary action is how the golf club works. Literally, everyone is under a misconception of how the golf club works. It is not a baseball bat, tennis racket or any other tool we know. Most instruction is based on false principles, beliefs and ideas and therefore makes little to no sense. I guess this is why there are so many instructional videos and books ... everyone is trying to explain what they don't truly understand. We swing right handed because we're right handed. Chuck is correct in his evaluation of the swing but wrong is his assumptions of what is actually happening. All problems golfers have come from a complete misunderstanding of how the golf club works. Everyone is trying to make the club do what they think it should do rather than learning how it actually works. Every good golf swing uses both sides of the body the same as a baseball swing. We use one side for power and the other for resistance and they are equal.

[@Rotaryswing]

Take a look at this video that disproves your theory completely kzbin.info/www/bejne/j5fZh6GNrM2EfMUsi=tH2hthaZTD3xhZPZ All major winners do the opposite of an overhand throw. They externally rotate the trail wrist setting up for something that resembles a sidearm throw or baseball swing but definitely not over hand. This is why your swing looks nothing like tour players. For sure you can hit the ball hard and produce power this way but also for sure no great ball strikers perform the swing the way you suggest. Be careful being “sure you are right”. Those types off beliefs lead to costly errors. Ive made more than my fair share. To quite Bertrand Russell “i’d never be willing to die for my beliefs. After all i might be wrong.” Love you enthusiasm but the data doesn’t lie unless @athleticmotiongolf is publishing lies from their tour data

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@Rotaryswing Thanks for the reply! I totally agree with that video. I agree the "I know I'm right" is almost crazy to say but I've been trying to prove myself wrong for years and I can't do it. Not only that but once people understand what I advocate they usually say, "Why hasn't anyone figured this out before?" The interesting thing about data is how it's interpreted. If you have a false assumption you'll interpret the data so it fits your model but that doesn't make it true. That video illustrates several things I've been advocating for years and people thought I was crazy. When people first think of "overhand" they think of their hand as the end of the lever and if that was the case you'd be right and the golf swing would be more or less sidearm, but the golf club is actually the end of the lever. The club becomes an extension of the right arm and when you look at the motion of the clubhead in relation to the shoulders, all good players, well most, strike the ball with the clubhead on or above the shoulder line. Some like Joaquín Niemann are more exaggerated and obvious than others. You simply cannot make this happen if you're trying to swing sidearm or underhanded. Finally, I'd say 99% of problems in golf stem from the false assumption that we swing the club in the direction of the desired ball flight. The golf club is a very unique tool and that's not how it works. Most everyone is trying to make it do what they think it should do and it's fighting them every step of the way. That's why golf can look effortless for someone who knows the secret and anything but effortless for someone who doesn't.

[@Rotaryswing]

@@HolyGrailOfGolf I'm a visual learner. Can you do a video showing your swing against Tiger or some other great tour player side by side comparing how what you're saying is what the GOATs do?

[@HolyGrailOfGolf]

@@Rotaryswing I've already done that many times but the simple fact is that anyone who's good at golf has learned that you don't swing in the direction of the desired ball flight. It's just that simple. As I've said many times, "You're swinging in the wrong direction." You can easily see this if you know what to look for. GOATs direct their energy toward the ground and amateurs direct their energy toward the target. One method works and one works really, really badly.
