Hi, I am new and have decided to begin with the dead drill as my base. I understand the 100-300 reps to start a new pattern, and 3000-5000 to overwrite old pattern. My question is about the linear progression and reps. How many reps should I do on body only takeaway / backswing before I move to transition? How many reps of combined takeaway / transition before adding post up? How many reps of all 3 (body only) before I add lead arm? How reps with lead arm before adding club? Once I progress to adding club should I also add regular reps of body only to ensure movements are grooved? I bought the extra swing reviews plus the ones I get with an annual membership. Would it be smart to use these to get my different parts of DEAD drill perfected? I feel if I nail this sequence everything else will take care of itself. Thank you!

Hello David. I think it would be wise to use the Swing Reviews to check your drilling. The typical way most do it. Full body get the movement checked. Full body-1 Arm with Club progression. Then, Full swing progression. The number of reps are kinda dependent on the player. The goal isn't 500 of each step. Some may only need 300-400 of body before adding arm. The bench mark is when you stack the next drill do the prior steps breakdown and/or do you really have to be conscious of the prior steps to still perform correctly.

Hi, I'm just getting familiarized with the RST system. So far it is very interesting content. This drill seems somewhat contradictory or in conflict with the goat code videos that espouse early release. What I am seeing here is more similar to what I've learned about holding lag. Am I misunderstanding or are there any videos that clarify this? Thanks, -Sean

Hello Sean. If you watch the most recent "Throw the Club" Video Chuck explains there are 3 different types of release patterns. This is a lead side based release pattern which is perfectly fine and the one I use. The GOAT Code follows more the throw doctrine which you can see on the left hand tabs (GOAT Code and Theory).

Hello, My swing has changed tremendously. I am hitting the eight iron for a 63 year-old man that hasn’t played golf for 18 years the distance I had 22 years ago. Tremendous instruction I feel I will be back at a four handicap in no time. My question is I still have problems spinning out my left foot. PS what is the Boot Camp? And how do I get the information for the Boot Camp?

Hello Kevin. That's awesome. Love reading the good news. Go to the menu tree at the top. Scroll to Live Golf Instruction and click Bootcamp Info. We typically hold them in the off season. Also, take a look at the Tour Pro Downswing Drill to help with the lead foot.

Dumb question of the day but I'm seriously stumped: does DEAD stand for something or is it just all-caps to emphasize the "dead" simple aspect of it? Apologies, I work in IT where acronyms are like a second language so thanks for your help!

Hello Ken. Drill to End All Drills. You are correct good sir on it being an acronym.

Hi, are the dead drill and phase 1-4 two directions to the same end? Can you do both at the same time or is one better than the other (more in depth)? I’m getting back into RSG after a long hiatus and looking for a good starting point. Thanks!

Hello Jason. DEAD has been intertwined throughout the C4 Phase 1-4. You can do both at the same time. But, those components of DEAD have bene integrated.

Hello Travis. Squat to Square isn't on the site currently. DEAD Drill 2 will be the proper substitute.
