If you are reading these comments you might share my same experience. I have watched dozens of instructors on youtube for years now. I have tried every method taught on youtube of swinging the club. I have paid for multiple subscriptions services, lessons, and training aides over the years. I understood the mechanics of the golf swing but I could not translate it into realty. I was ready to quit until I stumbled on this video this afternoon. I thought "oh great another youtube golf instructor... not going to fall for this again" Chuck's story resonated with me so I decided id give it a shot. Let me tell you his few videos have saved my golf swing. The theory is aligned with the instruction and he explains it in a way that is translatable online. I know I sound like a paid affiliate 😝 Just grateful I finally found content that helped MY swing. Thank you Chuck!
I did the RSG boot camp some time ago. I have gotten my irons into a good place as far as making them go straight, but am on the struggle bus with the top end. Irons average pretty neutral or a couple of degrees in to out swing path. As soon as the woods come out, the path goes straight to steep town, like five out to in. My distances are inconsistent right now and no where near where they should be, IMO. I saw that tic tok of you banging your driver in the desert 300+. There's no reason I shouldn't be able to do the same. I know it's not a physical limitation. You have proven that for sure. Have taken lessons and beat thousands of balls on the range and in the sim during winter. Getting ready to start my third year and would like to make it from the 80's to the 70's. Actually be competitive in the senior tournaments around my home state and maybe more.
This is what we did as kids in the 70's. Unfortunately, professional instructors ruined our games. Excellent work! Just got back from the range. If you can throw a ball 50 feet, you can do this. Everyone at the range thought I was a scratch golfer. This video brought me back 40 years. I'm 69 still hit the occasional 300 yarder and now have the tools to shoot my age. I still can't get into the site for the orher 53 minutes. This stuff is worth the cost of a new driver!
I was at the range today before I watched this video. I had came to the conclusion that my best swing were from pulling the hands down with my shoulders which made me sit into the left side and the rest just happens and the ball went off a treat. Then I watch this and the key points are hands and into left side!!! Now I feel like I got it right for once and can hopefully repeat it next time. Im going to watch the free video thanks for the content
The content of this video is why I joined RST. I wanted to have a swing that was effortless, did not hurt me, powerful, and efficient. Chuck, your journey is my journey, but mine only started in 2014. I told people that if I’m suppose to hit an 8 iron 160 yards with a standard swing, then I want to do so. I should not have to come out of my shoes to do so. I feel that it is found in making the most efficient swing that I can. I’m tired of people telling me “ age is what is slowing you down.” Get out of here with that. I will checkout those 5 videos
Absolute gold here, as long as that lead side is working left it is literally impossible to release hands too early, I was hitting my 3 hybrid today with this at 140+ mph ball speed, carrying 235+… these are similar to my driver numbers holy sh-t! Thanks for this!
I’m doing my research on rst and I watched his axiom, dead drill and it sounded like the foot pressure and weight transfer creates the club movement. Then listening to this video on how Tiger and Jack and chuck mimicking Tiger was to throw the club first. So is it the leg pressure weight transfer square to square which moves the club or the throw????
Interesting, I’m single digit, getting older and your copy of tigers swing is amazing. You said you could teach this swing in an hour, I’d be willing to sign up for that! It’s a swing I think my body could do, unlike the way the modern teachers are teaching the severe squat side bend and trunk rotation. Just can’t do that !
@ ya it truly is a basic throwing pattern. Very simple and easy on the body since the speed comes from the hands. It’s just a matter of training that trail hand, which is what the program on the website is because for most people learning how to control the club face with the trail hand take some training. We start at the beginning with a putter so that you start to learn how to truly control the club face and sense it in your fingers and then work up to chip shots, pitch shots, etc.. this is the same way that Earl taught Tiger the game from the green back and I found it to be extremely helpful in truly developing a sense of club face control because the club face is king.
Well I’m definitely looking for a simple repeating swing I can take to tournaments. Chuck talks a lot about the Ave golfer with over the top swing, my issue just opposite, 5-9 degrees in to out and having to close face to draw it and bring it back into play. Where do I start with your program?
@ the best place to start is at the beginning of the program. It’s literally step by step and each video is numbered in order to walk you through how to get the club on plane and path with a perfectly square face.
This would awesome to see with the driver. I have so much trouble transitioning from irons to driver and keeping the swing the same. Would love to hear your breakdown.
Quinton, just came back from the range after viewing this video. Wow!! The results are amazing. I touched on throwing the club after reading Fred Shoemaker’s seminal book “Extraordinary Golf” but there wasn’t enough technical info to help me. Your video is the perfect accompaniment to his thoughtful work. Quick question- do you still use the right shoulder back for the start of your backswing and do you try to keep the club head low to the ground in the first move back as well? Many thanks for changing my golf swing and my life! (Golf is life right?)😮
@@wijnandhemelaar6180 it has done two things first I hit the ball consistently very very straight and secondly, I have very effortless power as I’m using my hands to generate speed rather than the big muscles of the body. I definitely use the swing and have continued to refine it as this video is a year old and have rebuilt my teaching methodology around it because it is so much simpler to learn and easier on the body.
INCREDIBLE work Chuck! 👏The similarities are amazing. You may have to hand over Rotary Swing to Craig, and go back out on Tour. Or LIV Golf lol. Curious, how much swing speed and distance have you picked up, since making these changes? I look forward to checking out more in the 60 minutes of video you mention.
Thank you! I may have to give the champions tour a looksy, wanna loop for me?! lol. Only 2 years away! My swing speed hasn't changed much. I've been in the low 120s for a long time time now and I don't really try and swing any faster than that. I'm not trying to make it on the long drive tour! I'm really focused exclusively on repeatability and control. And that is what has changed the most. I can hit the ball with incredible precision (let me know if you need a member guest partner!) without trying. My swing is so simple now that good shots are merely a matter of getting out of my own way. I did play in my first fun event last week with this swing and won closest to the pin at 6' from 180 with an 7 iron, so that's something I guess lol. As you'll see in the comments on the 5 video series on the site, people are pretty jazzed about this!
@@Rotaryswing That's AWESOME! Very very cool. Sign me up for both. lol Happy to caddy for you (if your scores don't exceed mine from the program 😉 or you may have to caddy for me) and have you as a partner at my next Member-Guest! I very much look forward to checking out the program in the coming days. Thanks again for all you guys do for the game of golf. You're too right, it's a true instruction wilderness out there, and you guys are the shining torch, to guide people through the jungle.
In the 2000's players open their clubs much more than now, can we do this with a modern swing aswell? Or do we need to open and close the club like tiger did? the timing of that is pretty hard to get consistently i think
Chuck, I notice that both of your shoulders rotate independently from your head in the transition/downswing. I have a tendency to keep my chin almost connected to my left should in the transition. Scratch golfer, so I have a decent swing all things considered but this is a small thing I’ve had trouble getting rid of. Any advice?
If it’s just during the transition that’s a tiny amount of time so your head likely wouldn’t move too far forward but what I think you are describing is actually caused by pushing from the trail side of your body and makes them move together and mostly laterally
That's one thing about Tiger is his hands are the best in the game. That's the number one reason why he was able to hit every shot, fade, draw,low, high,stinger, was because he knew where his club face was at all times because of his hands
@@rgailun1113 i think if you go to the site and read the comments under each video you can decide for yourself rotaryswing.com/c4/112546-wide-glide-wide
"Throw the club from the top" may not be the correct way to interpret what Tiger is doing. He drops the club in but it is not hand arms and hands. All movement is lower body driven and his hands always precede the clubhead..that is body turn
Mr. Quinton, do you teach the 2006 haney fade swing? The reason I ask is that i have a torn left labrum, so swinging left and slightly open makes it easier. Swinging from a square stance is uncomfortable. Many thanks.
Just for fun analysis: Seems to set up for a fade - standing up: Tigers makes a counterclockwise swing (hip rotation), the presenter seems to make a clockwise swing (hip rotates later, he is standing up; just a fraction). My guess would be that Tiger applies rather full strength in this video and the presenters has to be careful not to apply too much power. Not so? In my impression, one should be dragging the club, drawing a counterclockwise circle in the sand while doing it.
Wow! The outpouring of support has been truly amazing, thank you! This is super exciting to see all my hard work be received so well! "Chuck, you are the Beethoven of the Golf Swing explanation!

Every golf swing involves every muscle in our body. At top of BS both baby Tiger and 2000 Tiger, "fart behind the left heel"; as Jack Nicklaus and Ben Hogan did
Hi, did you know Tiger wrote a book on his swing and golf game back in 2001? Below are some excerpts of him describing the downswing. He repeatedly mentions starting from the ground up with the lower body. So while you may have found a way to create a similar sequence through your own feel, it is a big statement to say you know that Tiger is trying to throw the club from the top of the swing and use a video of him at 5 years old to prove it. He actually talks about why "throwing" from the top of the swing is a bad thing, and I'll include some quotes below on that as well. That being said, it's entirely possible your videos may still be helpful. - LOWER BODY LEADS THE WAY On the downswing, the sequence of motion is from the ground up. First you shift your weight to your left leg, then you turn your hips with all you’ve got. The shoulders come next; as you can see in the photo, my shoulders are still square to the target even though my hips are aligned well to the left. The arms and hands come last. If you’ve performed everything in order, they’ll deliver the clubhead into the ball along the correct inside path. Woods, Tiger. How I Play Golf (pp. 298-299). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition. - With the driver, I turn my shoulders as far as they’ll go. My hips turn, too, but my shoulders turn a lot farther. There should be a healthy feeling of tension and resistance down your left side at the top. From here, all I have to do is unwind my hips a bit, and my shoulders will follow, unturning with tremendous speed on the downswing. - Good golf is played from the ground up, meaning that my feet, legs and hips initiate the downswing. Woods, Tiger. How I Play Golf (p. 178). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition. - When the shaft extends beyond parallel, you tend to “throw” the club from the top with the hands, rather than letting the unturning of the shoulders transport the club into a sound position on the downswing. Woods, Tiger. How I Play Golf (p. 298). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition. - More Causes of Deep Divots There are other reasons why divots can be deep and irregular. It may be that your ball is positioned too far back in your stance, which necessitates a steep angle of approach with the clubhead. You may be throwing the clubhead at the ball with your arms and hands alone, instead of assisting with your shoulders. Woods, Tiger. How I Play Golf (p. 239). Grand Central Publishing. Kindle Edition.
Tiger said not to throw from the top. Shift and throw. Tiger is a player not a teacher and that book is good for setup and checking the backswing at the top.
@@macattack5272 every teacher would tell you not to throw the club from the top. And I'm sure Tiger could teach if he wanted lol. I will take Tiger's word over a guy trying to funnel you to buy a course on youtube.
Looks goodbut I dont agree with it being a low power swing. Tiger himself said he cant go bck to this swing as he knees are wrecked from using the ground that much in 2000s. It can be seen with how early and distinct he weightshifts. This is the swing that produced a 200y 7 iron uphil over a tree on Pebble and he murdered that golfball.
Austin believed in the throw as well but also was a big advocate of a much much bigger hip turn. I like this feel but it’s much more complex for the average golfer and even a challenge for me that I dont see the need for the added complexity. But in all fairness Im not familiar with his work beyond that
all good stuff, Id disagree w only one thing MA wanted base of spine swinging like a pendulum as to have a base on each leg to rotate shoulders/hips on plane, very natural, top of spin stationary, hips react to.. really good stuff @@Rotaryswing
yes exactly, ankles, knees, then arms turn the torso@@Rotaryswing,, interesting you said throwing shifts the weight,,,, also your drill where you let right hand let go is awesome because it allows weight of club to come up, not forced around,, again good stuff
I have to disagree that the modern goats swing is/was simple. Before his car accident, he had undergone multiple surgeries as a result of his golf swing mechanics. He is also renowned for having a relentless practice regime - Butch says that to this day it is unequaled by even the most dedicated of the current pros. I would say that his swing is actually extremely complicated which is why is it so difficult, if not impossible to replicate. In the same way that Hogans ‘secret’ is mythical, I think Tigers is too. The ‘secret’ to both is a unique talent combined with incredible hard work - not simple by any means.
I would agree that Tiger worked harder than anyone on the range but my opinion is that he primarily worked on hitting the 9 box grid with all shape types (fade, draw, hook, slice). If you watch Tiger on the range, he is always shaping the ball. He does work on mechanics sometimes but he is always shaping shots. It all starts with feel for him. Tiger can hit all the shots that why he is the best. He doesn't have training aids or even alignment sticks. He is a lot more right brain than left brain
Come on man, without actually being tiger in 2000, he has got really close to his swing positions. I'm not even a subscriber but I'm impressed with the guys swing, I'm sure you would like it too😁

It can be seen with how early and distinct he weightshifts. This is the swing that produced a 200y 7 iron uphil over a tree on Pebble and he murdered that golfball.
Mike Austin ?
Austin believed in the throw as well but also was a big advocate of a much much bigger hip turn. I like this feel but it’s much more complex for the average golfer and even a challenge for me that I dont see the need for the added complexity. But in all fairness Im not familiar with his work beyond that
all good stuff, Id disagree w only one thing MA wanted base of spine swinging like a pendulum as to have a base on each leg to rotate shoulders/hips on plane, very natural, top of spin stationary, hips react to.. really good stuff @@Rotaryswing
@@mikehuling615 ahh that makes sense. So did he want the head stationary so it would create a bit of a reverse pivot look?
yes exactly, ankles, knees, then arms turn the torso@@Rotaryswing,, interesting you said throwing shifts the weight,,,, also your drill where you let right hand let go is awesome because it allows weight of club to come up, not forced around,, again good stuff
Very similiar to Count Yogi..
I agree with early release, but you are throwing the hands, not the clubhead !
Why Does Tiger Woods Like Max Homa's CASTING of the Club???

I have to disagree that the modern goats swing is/was simple. Before his car accident, he had undergone multiple surgeries as a result of his golf swing mechanics. He is also renowned for having a relentless practice regime - Butch says that to this day it is unequaled by even the most dedicated of the current pros. I would say that his swing is actually extremely complicated which is why is it so difficult, if not impossible to replicate. In the same way that Hogans ‘secret’ is mythical, I think Tigers is too. The ‘secret’ to both is a unique talent combined with incredible hard work - not simple by any means.
I would agree that Tiger worked harder than anyone on the range but my opinion is that he primarily worked on hitting the 9 box grid with all shape types (fade, draw, hook, slice). If you watch Tiger on the range, he is always shaping the ball. He does work on mechanics sometimes but he is always shaping shots. It all starts with feel for him. Tiger can hit all the shots that why he is the best. He doesn't have training aids or even alignment sticks. He is a lot more right brain than left brain
His hips shift first, and yours don’t. You just turn around. Sorry mate, but you haven’t quite got there yet.
Yes they do, and you can tell because you can see the weight come off of his right foot during the downswing
It’s pretty close
never said it was perfect, but please show me your swing so we can compare
Come on man, without actually being tiger in 2000, he has got really close to his swing positions. I'm not even a subscriber but I'm impressed with the guys swing, I'm sure you would like it too😁
I am a subscriber, and this is the closest to the tiger that I’ve seen. If it was just a silhouette of him, you think it was tiger. FACTS 😂
I hate to break it to you dude…
Yea bro your dreaming you do not swing it like tiger UA-cam hero
