Where do I find these videos?

I have now bought this serie. Is it now my property to watch when I want "for ever" or is this something that only can be seen as long as I'm a member? Is this a a one time payment (19 dollars) or something that will reoccur each month??

Hello Asle. This is a one-time payment. You own this now. It will be under "My Purchases".

I'm been looking into these 7 laws on compression. They come in an other order than in the introduction, which I find somewhat confusing. The last one is called Axiom compression drill. Is that the same as the 7th law about club lie angle? That's the only way to get to 7. If the axiom compression drill is something else in addition, one of the laws are missing. By the way where does vertical shaft lean come in?

Hello Asle. If you to the Menu - Legacy Axiom Dashboard - Hit it Longer - 7 Lawes Of Compression you will see the whole folder in order ending with the Axiom Compression as the #8 Video. Are you referring to shaft lean at address or impact? The lean is created automatically when using the proper sequence and lead hand ahead.

I followed your advice and found it, but I still see only 6 laws. Nr 1- 8 begins with an introduction. Nr 8 is axiom. Inbetween these 1 +8 are 6 videos/laws, so one is still missing - I'm not even sure which it is - maybe what's called Vertical shaft lean - But since it is not explained I don't know how this affects compression. Isn't it a little strange that one of the laws mentioned in the introduction video with its description below didn't get its own video so the collection could be complete?

Hello Asle. I am in search of the video. You can use the Angle of Attack Video and How to Get Perfect Lean Videos as a substitute for now. The main point with vertical shaft lean is you don't need a crazy down angle of attack in the downswing. Just a few degrees with the hands ahead. It may feel like a lot but when you combine the vertical motion of the hips to help bring the hands into impact with lead arm/wrist control you will maximize the potential of proper compression/smash factor.

Hello Asle. I didn't create the series so I'm not sure if the lean is discussed/blended with one in the section. Let me see what I can find out.

One of my buddies has a theory of choosing a golf ball for us high-handicappers. He holds the ball at shoulder height and drops it on a smooth hard floor (e.g., concrete floor of the garage). The higher it bounces, the better choice it is. Anyone have an opinion about whether this has any validity?
July 22, 2020

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Charles. Sadly, there isn't any validity to this method. Letting a ball bounce from shoulder height will not be a good test/measurement to see how far it will travel from a full swing speed.

Thanks, Craig. I calculated that if dropped from 5 feet, a ball will have reached about 18 mph when it hits the floor. Even my puny swing speed is quite a lot faster than that.

Indeed. My putter stroke is about 50 mph. (I never leave it short.)

does weak or strong grip factor into compressing the ball
February 18, 2015
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hey Phil. Yes, the grip can play a factor. Grip effects the speed, face, etc.. All major factors to compression. The RST goal is to have a good balance. Slightly stronger than neutral for optimal speed with face control. Technically, a stronger grip can lead to more speed, but law of diminishing returns controlling face angle.

How do pros flex the shaft at the top of their swing and into the downswing? Watching Martin Kaymer and he gets incredible shaft flex with woods and irons
May 11, 2014

Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
That is caused by proper sequencing in the downswing. There is a lot of momentum in the club as they are shifting left and starting transition thus giving you that flexed shaft look.

I would like some advice about driver selection. I play with a titliest titanium 983K (9.5). The shaft is a prolite grafalloy. Red shaft stiff. I fight it to hit the shots I want. How do I find the right shaft for me. I went thru demo session for it. My 3 wood callaway big Bertha war bird with a rifle shaft 5.0. I hit any shot I want draw, cut, high, low. All my irons (ping green dot blades) are rifle shafts 5.0 also. All my equipment is about 15 yrs old. I feel that if I had the right driver I could be more consistant as with my 3 wood. I hit my 3 wood between 230-260. Depending on fairways.

Hey Dparsons, the best advice we can offer is to get on a launch monitor with a reputable fitter in your area and have them work with you to find the best possible setup that allows for proper ball spin, launch angle etc. based on your current swing. I also recommend to make sure you are comfortable with the current swing before going to make this investment because if you are still going through drastic changes in the swing, some of those numbers may change as your swing evolves.
