The AXIOM Power Program
Before we get started, I want to ask you one very important, but one very simple question.
If you had a friend who was new to the game, or perhaps you had a friend who was struggling with a game, how would you describe the golf swing to them in one sentence?
To make it simple for them, maybe for yourself, if you had to put it into just one simple sentence, the golf swing is, what would you say?
Think about it for a moment.
It's a pretty tough question that really shouldn't be that hard to answer, and in fact, it's not, it's actually quite simple, but the problem is, pretty much nobody agrees on anything in the golf swing, period.
If you've looked online, on YouTube, or wherever else for golf information, you've seen 50,000 different ways to try and do the exact same thing.
No wonder everybody's so confused about the golf swing, and why it's so freaking frustrating for everybody.
I'm going to make it simple, incredibly simple, and you're going to feel and see real results immediately, because the golf swing is not that hard.
There's one thing that you have to understand above and all else, and that is, how do you produce speed in the golf swing?
Once you understand how to produce speed, which is what this video is all about, you're finally going to understand the big picture of the golf swing, and then you're going to be able to make huge, huge improvements in a very, very short period of time.
As I just mentioned, speed is the name of the game, And that's the one thing that nearly every golfer who ever picks up a club never realizes their true potential with.
Most of us are out there just powder puffing it around.
They never get the full experience of the golf swing, and never get the full power out of their game.
And that's exactly what we're going to change today, because without speed, you're never, ever going to play to your true potential.
Because if you're hitting a five iron into the green, and I'm hitting a wedge, simple math is going to work out in my favor, how do you get to this point where you can hit the ball as far as you know you can?
You've seen the guys on tour, you see guys my size, I'm 165 pounds, but you see me hit the ball well over 300 yards.
How do you do that?
Am I special?
Of course not.
It's that I understand how to produce speed.
And if I were to ask you that, if I were to say, okay, right now, you had to swing the golf club as fast as humanly possible, as fast as you can, without having to worry about where the ball is going just yet, how would you produce speed?
What is the most efficient way to produce speed?
That's really what you need to be asking yourself.
And that's the mental exercise I want you to go through.
Because once you understand this, once you understand where speed really comes from and how simple it really is, the light bulb is going to go off.
You're going to unleash the power that's in you right now.
You have way more potential than what you're playing to right now.
And that's what I'm going to extract from you.
I'm going to show you how simple it is to produce speed.
And you really only have to understand one basic thing.
So we all need speed.
How do we get it?
Let me ask you this.
What is the most efficient way for the human body to accelerate anything?
Whether it was a rock, this golf club, this impact bag, what would be the most efficient sequence of movement for you to do that?
Do you have an idea?
Think about it for just a moment.
The simplest way for you to accelerate something as fast as humanly possible is the basic throwing motion.
That's it.
If you had to tell your friend, what is the golf swing in a nutshell?
It is a basic sidearm throwing motion.
That's it.
That's the golf swing in a nutshell.
If you can understand the basic sidearm throw, and even if you've never thrown anything, don't worry.
I'm going to teach you exactly how to do this in an incredibly simple sequence of moves.
You're going to be able to pick up speed.
Because there's no way that we've ever figured out how to use all these bones and joints and muscles and ligaments to accelerate something faster than we can with a basic throwing motion.
That's all you need to understand.
If you're like most golfers and you've struggled to realize your true potential, you know you can hit it much farther.
Today is the breakthrough moment.
You are going to be able to feel and produce way more speed than you ever have before, and it's going to be way easier and easier on your body.
If you've swung over the top, you will never swing over the top again.
If you can't understand why you keep casting the club, you're going to understand how to produce, maintain, and release lag because that is where the majority of your speed comes from.
That's what we're going to focus on today.
You're going to produce real speed the simplest, fastest way humanly possible.
The speed is in you.
I promise.
I'm going to help you tap into it and unleash it.
But if you're frustrated with your golf swing and you know you should be playing better, but you just can't figure it out, think of it this way.
Imagine you were putting together a puzzle, but you didn't have the puzzle box.
You didn't have the picture on the cover of the puzzle.
You had no idea what it's supposed to look like when it's done.
Remember the question I asked you at the beginning of this video?
How would you describe the golf swing to somebody who's never played before?
Or most people have no idea how to describe the golf swing in a very simple way.
You don't have the big picture and the big picture is what's missing.
Once you understand the big picture, what's this puzzle supposed to look like?
Rather than trying to group it together in 50,000 different pieces told 50,000 different ways from 50,000 different people, you're going to understand why you've struggled because that's an impossible way to play golf.
It's an impossible way to learn.
You need one simple movement that's easy to understand, that produces real speed, and it gives you the big picture of what it is you're actually trying to do in the golf swing.
All right, Stand up with me because I want you to feel this.
Because this is the most important thing you're ever going to learn about producing Club Head speed.
Are you ready?
Here is all you got to know.
Can you do this?
Yep, just rotate your arm like this, like a windshield wiper.
Can you do this?
That is the most important movement in the golf swing for producing speed, and it's exactly the same movement that you do when you throw something.
When you go to throw, as I'm going to teach you in just a moment, don't worry if you've never thrown, you didn't play baseball, it doesn't matter.
You're going to understand this.
All you need to be able to do is rotate your arm, what we call external rotation, just like that.
If you can do that, you can swing way faster than you are right now and hit the ball way farther than you currently are.
Remember when I said earlier the golf swing is nothing more than a basic sidearm throwing motion.
What do I mean by that?
Well, let's put it into action.
So the first step in you unleashing your power is just understanding this motion.
That's it.
It's really this simple, I promise.
Now, just take that arm down to the side.
So not up here in front of you.
This would be like a normal overhand throw.
Now think a sidearm throw.
This motion is where all the speed is going to come from.
Once you see it all together, it's going to make sense.
So if I was to throw this ball, how would I do it?
And again, thinking more of a sidearm throw, not overhand throw, not underhand throw, a sidearm throw.
As I'm doing this motion, here's what I want you to feel.
All you need to do to really feel how the entire golf swing clicks and it makes sense and you can produce real power, is take this motion, this sidearm external rotation while you're taking a step.
I know you don't take a step in the golf swing.
I'm going to put this all together in just a moment.
So be patient.
This external rotation with a step.
Now you'll notice as I'm doing this, as I'm taking this step, my arm is opening up.
I'm rotating it.
This is how you would throw.
If you were a shortstop and you picked up a ground ball, guess what you would do?
It's that motion that ties your arm to the big muscles in your core, which I'll explain more later.
But for right now, if you can feel this and you will actually feel this down here in your back, as you externally rotate this arm, it's going to connect you to your core.
So when you begin to move your body, your arm gets moved by the big muscles, by your legs, by your core, by your trunk.
So now get a feel for taking this step.
You feel this?
If you were to throw, your legs are going this way, your body's going this way, while your arm is going back.
You're starting to understand why the transition in the golf swing is so difficult if you don't understand this basic external rotation of your arm.
So now let's do this in a little bit of a sequence.
Let's dance.
Let's do a few steps.
Getting ready to throw each time.
This motion is the most powerful way for the human form to accelerate an object in the golf club.
That's exactly what we want to do with it.
We want to get that thing moving as fast as humanly possible, as efficient as humanly possible.
We don't have to put a lot of muscular effort into it.
This doesn't take a lot of effort at all, but you can feel just how powerful it is when you get your arm into this position.
You'll also note that if you're one of those golfers who tends to swing over the top, well, this motion is the exact opposite.
When you swing over the top, you're actually internally rotating.
You're getting the club to go this way instead of this way.
So grab a ball.
If you're able to do this in a place where you can actually throw balls, and if you want, you can put a ball down on the ground where a ball would be at address, and you can start to get a feel for this.
First, take your arm, take a step, and just for now, very gently, throw the ball down at the other ball on the ground.
Just get a basic feel for this arm throwing and releasing, just like that.
Now, If you're the type of golfer who's really swung over the top for a long time and have not been able to fix it, What I want you to do is try and get even a little bit more into out by shallowing this arm out even more.
And the way to feel this for everybody is to get your right arm into your right pocket and your right wrist to your right knee.
That's what I want you to feel.
So when I do this together, I take a step.
As I'm coming down, my elbow drops into my pocket, and then my hand works down to my knee.
Of course, it's not exactly in line.
It's a feeling to get you coming from the inside and maintaining lag.
This is important when we introduce the club in just a moment, that your hand works down toward your knee, and that's how you're going to throw.
And when you go to throw it, and you want to add some speed to this drill, actually throw it out to, imagine there's a clock on the ground, 12 o'clock, 1 o'clock, 2 o'clock.
Throw it out to about 1 or 2 o'clock.
This will help you feel how to get your body in the right position with this sidearm throw to produce real speed, just like that.
That will accelerate the club crazy fast, as efficient as humanly possible.
And this is the motion where you're going to produce all this real speed in your swing.
All right, now let's do this motion with a golf club, and let's look at what happens when we do this.
So we're still going to take a step, and we're going to get the same feeling of our arm rotating like a windshield washer, windshield wiper on a car, as we do this motion.
Feel that.
Take a step.
Your arm is rotating.
The club is going back.
You're focusing, again, just on rotating this.
And now watch what happens as I begin to bring the club down.
As my arm gets into my pocket, my wrist gets down towards my knee, I've got all the lag in the world.
If you're the type of golfer who's been casting the club and not hitting the ball very far, this motion will help you maintain lag.
In fact, it's doing the opposite of casting the club.
All the power in the world at the point when it matters most.
So now I want you to do this and actually release the club.
And again, the more over the top you have been, the more you've struggled with the slice, the more I want you to release out towards one or two o'clock.
So from down the line, we're going to do this motion like this.
See that?
Listen to how much speed there is.
I'm barely moving.
You hear it?
You feel it?
I want you to do the same thing.
Stand up, release the club.
As you're coming down, there's a couple of checkpoints that you want to check.
One, again, when your elbow gets down to your pocket, club shaft should be down the target line, parallel to the ground, the club face toe up or slightly towed in.
If your grip is really weak, you may see the club like this.
So you have to correct your grip, get your club here.
Once we're here and we're in this position, there's so much leverage loaded up and there's so much momentum, so much inertia stored in your swing that all you've got to do is let it release.
Look at how much speed there is from such a short swing.
When you're coming face on, again, elbow to the pocket, hand down toward the knee, club shaft parallel, club face toeed up or slightly toeed in.
The more that you want to hit a draw, you'll want to get slightly toeed in at this point.
And then simply let your forearm, let the club do what it's trying to do.
You have so much pent up energy at this point in the swing.
All you got to do is get out of the way.
It's called a release for a reason.
So what you're doing is learning how to get into what we call the delivery position, where the club's ready to be released.
And that's when your job is done and the release starts to take over.
At this point, you just let your arm release.
Your elbow's going to extend.
Again, exactly like a throw.
You wouldn't throw it like this.
It doesn't make any sense.
Your arm's going to release, going to rotate over.
The club is naturally going to want to rotate over.
And once you feel this, you're starting to feel where the speed actually comes from in the swing.
Now put both hands on the club.
Now, if you're used to not understanding how to throw, how to throw that club out at the ball, how to get real speed in the swing, you've probably been using your left arm incorrectly.
And so you may find that once you put your left hand on the club to help out with the right, that you find the swing feels very different.
That's a good sign because that means you've been actually fighting against yourself in the swing.
Your left hand and your right hand haven't been working together.
The left hand's job is to control the club face.
The right hand is to produce speed.
And now you're starting to feel what the right hand should do with this basic throwing motion.
Once you put the left hand on there, what you want to feel is that it's still going to feel for now, for most, 100% right-handed until you get used to this basic throwing motion.
So put your left hand on there very loose.
And if you get lost, doesn't feel right again, just take it off, go back through your normal release drill.
But once you're comfortable, put both hands on there, Take your step and feel how much more power and control that you have when you put both hands on there.
That is where your speed's coming from.
This is going to make you feel so much more powerful, But we're not even close to being done because we haven't talked about where.
You're going to produce real power and be able to make an incredibly powerful throw.
And that's what we're going to talk about next.
Have you ever wondered how far you could hit it if you could put everything into it and you knew the ball would go straight?
You've probably tried to put everything into it before and the ball has gone off the planet, or you've completely topped it or missed it, or what have you.
What I'm going to show you next is what it will feel like to hit the ball straight with everything that you've got, every muscle in your being, everything that you want to put into it, you're going to be able to do it and still hit the ball solid and straight with this drill.
Now, first, it's going to seem counterintuitive.
It's probably the exact opposite of what you're currently doing, but that's a good thing because what you're doing right now isn't working.
I'm going to show you how to get every ounce of your being, Every pound of muscle you've got into the back of the ball as hard as you want on any shot and still know where that ball is going to end up, not in the trees.
You're going to want an impact bag for this.
If you don't have one, I put a link down below, But many of you already have an impact bag because this is going to give you the auditory and visual feedback that we're looking for.
To start to get a sense of where the speed's coming from and where you're going wrong with the way that you're swinging now.
So before we do the counter torque drill, that's going to be counterintuitive, I want you to just use the impact bag to work on your release drill for just a moment.
So go back to just your right hand only for right-handed golfers.
Take your step and then get into your checkpoint, your elbow.
Remember when we're getting ready to throw and you can do this with a ball.
If you want to just throw the ball down at the impact bag, again, You're trying to feel like you're directing your hand more out towards one If you're used to being very over the top, that'll help you correct that quicker, but you're trying to get your arm down low.
You'll see as I do this, when I take this step, it makes it easy for my spine to lean back, which helps me get my arm down, make room for my arm to get speed and bring the club down on plane.
So as we're doing this, I'm going to get my checkpoint again, right?
My elbows in my pocket, club face towed up or towed hand down by my, moving down towards my knee and then release.
Many of you will never, ever feel this in your golf swing the way you're swinging right now, because you're probably one of those types of golfers who tries to turn their whole body into it.
This feels powerful because you're using a lot of muscles while also putting a ton of stress on your body.
So if you've got back pain, hip pain, knee pain, the last thing you want to do is to keep rotating through the shot.
Again, think of a throw.
When you're throwing, This all stops moving, and then this external rotation releases, and that's where all the speed is in the golf swing.
It's that motion.
When we're using an impact bag, you're going to start to be able to feel this.
Take your step.
Look at how much speed there is on very little effort.
I'm barely moving at all.
All I'm doing is letting my arm be moved by my body, making sure it's open, just like the windshield wiper.
And then once it gets down into this position, it can't rotate anymore.
Remember, it's dynamically moving.
You don't just make your backswing move and externally rotate it.
Feel like a throw.
It's happening while you're making your move.
So in the real swing, when we go to make a backswing, this arm's just gradually rotating, rotating, rotating.
And then as I start down, it actually rotates more as the elbow leads the wrist and the wrist leads the club.
And by using all of our body in this basic throwing motion to bring the club down to the delivery point, all of this then is done.
It can't externally rotate anymore.
It's stuck and it's connected to our core like gears in a transmission.
This external rotation connects and you should feel this back here.
Now, the harder I move my legs and my body, the faster my arm gets moved.
And once I get here, all I have to do is let this, everything that I wound up with this motion, unwind at impact into the release.
So I'm going to go really slow.
You see my arms still rotating open as my body's beginning to move.
It helps my arm rotate even more.
The club, having the momentum, pulling it back, helps it rotate even more.
And then all I have to do once I get down to my pocket is just let it go.
Even with all the weight in this bag, I have old blankets and towels and shirts, heavy stuff in here.
And again, I'm not a big, strong guy, but I can easily move that impact bag with just my right arm.
That's what I want you to feel.
Same thing with, you put both hands on the club, take that step.
So I'm just going to go back.
I'm just gradually externally rotating, coming down, getting ready to throw.
That's where you're going to start to produce speed.
Now let's produce crazy speed.
Let's just see how much we can get out of this.
This next move is going to feel strange.
It's going to feel opposite of what you're typically doing, especially if you're the golfer that I mentioned earlier, who likes to rotate their body through.
Why is that bad?
Apart from the obvious stress you're putting on your spine, the biggest issue with this is that when you try and turn your shoulders through, how fast can the club move?
It can only move as fast as I turn.
So if I want to hit the ball farther, what do I got to do?
I got to rotate even faster, put even more stress on my hip and my back, my knee, my ankle.
And not only that, there's only so fast I can turn.
Because when my arms are stuck, I'm making this tight little arc with my hands instead of letting my arm extend out.
Width in the golf swing is free speed.
That's why your three iron that I have here is longer than your pitching wedge.
It's going to swing faster by default, just by the length of the shaft, the width of your swing arc.
The same is true here.
If you swing really narrow and bunched up like this, there's no speed in that.
But why wouldn't you want your arm to fully extend exactly how you would throw and release into the back of the bag to produce real speed?
Now, let's take it a step further.
How would we want to be able to use the ground in our legs to produce maximum power?
Have you ever seen a golfer on wet grass?
And when they come down at impact, their foot, their right foot for a right-handed golfer actually slides backwards.
That seems weird, right?
But I've been told to turn.
I'm supposed to just keep rotating through.
How would their foot move backwards?
That's so weird.
It's not.
The most powerful golfers you'll ever see will do that exact same move.
In fact, this is a natural move in lots of sports.
Take hockey, for example.
Let's take a look at this hockey player.
Watch this.
Watch as he moves in to strike the puck that his lower body, his rear leg, is actually moving in the opposite direction that his upper body is rotating in.
As you just saw in a hockey player, you can look at all sorts of sports.
Bowling is going to do the same thing.
This counter-torque move allows the trail arm to release with the greatest amount of speed.
So when you're doing this drill, and a great way to practice this at first, rather than being on grass with golf shoes, is try it at home on a wood floor or tile floor in your socks.
So it's very easy for your feet to slip back, because this will help you get the feeling of this, because it is a counter -intuitive move.
You would think that everything you would want would be moving into the direction of that bag, but that's not true.
Because then, you're basically just dragging the club through with your body rotation.
And again, the farther you want to hit it, the faster you've got to just spin your shoulders.
Instead, what I want you to feel now, And this is really important if you're one of those golfers who doesn't post up properly to impact it.
The post-up, the reason it's so important is because it causes the release of energy stored up in your arm.
When your arm is rotated back, and your wrist is cocked, and the elbow is bent, all of these are potential energy.
This is potential levers in the swing to be released.
When you post up, Those things all get snapped and released with way more speed than kind of dragging it lackadaisically through or spinning your shoulders through.
You're going to feel this for yourself.
So, what I want you to feel, we're going to go back to right hand only with the throwing motion.
And as you do this, I want you to feel the speed that comes when your foot moves backwards and your arm moves forward.
This is where you're going to produce crazy speed.
Because when your feet are stuck to the ground, instead of slipping out, but I do want them to slide at first, Then you're going to be using the ground for creating counter torque to force the club to go faster in the opposite direction.
You don't need to understand the physics of it.
You just need to feel it for yourself.
So, right hand only, and feel that, how much more the right arm snaps as you're doing that, and how your left leg, if you're a right-handed golfer, watch my left leg.
Do you see how it straightened up and became a brace?
Yes, watch from face on.
The same motion.
It would never make sense to come into impact like this.
Over my last 30 years of teaching golf, This is one of the biggest things I see in golf.
That's a huge power slot that nearly every amateur golfer on the planet struggles with.
When you're naturally releasing the club and getting this counter torque, you can see that my left leg braces up.
That's where I'm going to get crazy power, and when I put both hands on the club, now I'm going to have more control, but I'm going to be able to feel just how much power I can generate using my legs.
That's where you're going to go from hitting it 220 to 280 overnight.
You now have the feeling of the throwing motion.
You have permission to throw because you have a big picture of the swing.
It's way simpler than what you've been taught.
If you need to produce speed first.
The way that you're going to break 80, break 90, break 100, hit it 300 yards, be able to play consistent golf, is that you have to be able to swing well within yourself.
What I mean by that is, if you're swinging at your maximum effort, and like most golfers, your driver's only 92, 93, 95 miles an hour at 100% effort, you're never going to be able to have very much control because you're swinging at all you got.
Once you can, back that down to but your 80% is now at 110, 112 miles an hour, 120 miles an hour by simply understanding the basic throwing motion, then you're going to be able to swing way more under control while still swinging way, way faster.
That's what I want you to get from this.
Power is what you have to have first.
Even Nicholas used to say, if I was taking a new golfer, I want to teach them to swing as hard as they can, as fast as they can, because you can always learn to straighten it out later.
Most golfers never get there because they don't understand what it is to produce speed in the swing.
And now you do.
So now what I want to talk about is now, once you're swinging within yourself, you're producing all the speed and it is going to be addicting the first time you got to the range.
You saw some of the students who I did this with in person.
Hitting it 290 yards on their first day and then going out and hitting it 20 yards over at the green.
That's fun, but that's still not going to help your score.
You're going to have to recalibrate all your distances with all your clubs in your bag, but that's a good problem to have.
But I also want you to understand that this is not just about producing power.
It's about producing consistency and control as well.
First of all, your speed where you were before at 100%, now at 100 % is going to be way up here.
So you can tone it down and swing within yourself and hit the ball farther.
But this movement, this external rotation and this sidearm throw also has built-in bumpers, Safety nets that are going to help you deal with every single thing that you've ever struggled with in the golf swing.
And I want to talk about that now.
I'm going to walk you through, if you've ever swung over the top, you're flipping, you're hanging back, How this simple sequence of drills that you just learned is going to help you fix every single issue in your golf swing.
Do you know the best feeling of golf?
It's not just hitting a 330-yard drive.
It's knowing where the ball is going before you even step up to it.
Having the confidence and the comfort of knowing that the ball is going to go at your target before you ever even address the ball, that's the best feeling in golf.
And to do that, you have to have proper swing mechanics.
In order to do that, most of the time, for most golfers, it takes decades if they ever get it right at all.
I didn't want this stuff to take decades.
This stuff isn't that hard when you understand the big picture.
You can always refine it later, but the first thing you've got to have is the speed that we're talking about.
But now let's talk about all the common problems that you've probably struggled with.
Because what I've built into the mechanics of this move is that every single common swing problem that we've seen in doing over swing.
Reviews online and over in-person lessons, this movement addresses every single one.
Now let me talk about that for a moment.
Let's talk about over the top.
I believe the stats are something like 90 -something percent of all golfers swing over the top.
That's crazy, right?
Why is it that every single average golfer swings over the top and nobody that's a good ball striker struggles with that?
Why?
Well, first of all, they understand this basic throwing motion, but let's talk about how it really works.
If you're an over-the-top golfer, What you're probably doing is you take the club back inside and then you pick your arms up and then your hands go this way.
So if you can see the circle that my hands are traveling in, you can see that it's the opposite of what I just had you do.
Your arm is rotating this way instead of this way.
Watch what happens if I do just my right arm only and I'm just going to slowly rotate this out.
You can see my elbow pits not facing in.
I'm rotating it out.
My arm's rotating out.
And then as I come down, come down, this arm just stays externally rotated.
How could I ever swing over the top from here?
It's when I go this way and start to internally rotate that all of a sudden, everything that you could possibly do wrong in the golf swing starts to happen.
If you cast the club, let's take a look at that.
For those of you who really have no power in your swing, and you know, you should be hitting it farther, you know that you're losing this leverage, this lag angle on your wrist.
Guess what happens when I start internally rotating?
That club starts releasing too soon.
That's why this movement is so important.
And to correlate it to a sidearm throw, because all you have to do to maintain lag until the point, it matters, this delivery area where the club shaft is about parallel to the ground, is keep this arm open and bring your elbow to your pocket.
You can't lose lag anymore.
In fact, it's doing the opposite of what you would do when you lose lag.
When you start doing it this way, your arm starts releasing too soon.
That's why this move is kind of counterintuitive for a lot of golfers.
Because instinctively, you want to start trying to square the club as early as possible.
Because you're used to slicing it.
Well, guess what?
You start trying to do it that way, you're going to slice it even more.
The club will not release properly and it'll release too soon.
And so the club face will be coming across the ball with a glancing blow.
What you're learning is how to get your arm into this position.
This is it.
This whole movement, Everything you've been watching to get to this point, to be able to produce the crazy speed you're seeing with other golfers, is that once you're here, all of that stuff has just got to release and it's so simple to do it.
What about hitting fat shots?
A lot of golfers hit fat shots for two common reasons.
One, they hang back on their right foot and then because they hit a couple fat ones, they start moving the ball further and further and further back in their stance, which just encourages you to hang back even more.
The reality is in golf, The one thing you've probably heard me say a million times is do the exact opposite of what you think you should do, and it's probably right.
And that's true, too with fat shots.
You actually need to move the ball up in your stance to help you start moving forward, but that's hard to do.
It's hard to trust because you're out on the golf course, you hit a fat shot, you start to freak out.
You start to want moving the ball further and further back because it's embarrassing to hit a fat shot.
So the last thing you're going to do is move the ball up.
Again, counterintuitive.
But when you do that, when you do this drill, rather than talking about all the things you can do with a fat shot, when you start feeling this natural stepping motion and this throwing motion, it doesn't make sense to throw like this.
Who throws like that?
That's why I want you to do this step and post up and release because now having your normal, natural, fluid weight transfer happens automatically.
So you're not going to have any problems hitting back here and staying back on your back foot.
The more you do this drill, The easier it's going to become for you to start moving the ball further and further up in your stance.
Second reason people hit fat shots is because they cast the club.
Start trying to hit it with their arm at the wrong time.
Your job, you don't have to try and hit the ball anymore.
All you have to do is get your arm into this position.
And all the magic is going to take care of itself.
Because there's so much speed built up into the swing already and all these levers, all they want to do is release.
And once this arm can't externally rotate anymore, it then has to switch directions and that's when the release happens and it happens automatically.
You don't have to be in charge of that.
All you have to do is get into this position and then release it and let it go.
What about thin shots?
Thin shots, a lot of times can happen for the same reason from fat shots.
The golfer hangs back on their back foot, the club bottoms out back here, and then just scoops right up, hits the ball on the teeth.
Same thing.
If you're doing this natural step, this natural throwing motion, you're not going to hit it thin anymore.
What about hitting it off the toe, hitting it off the heel?
All of these things are caused by you trying to swing in a way without understanding the big picture.
You're probably trying to piece together 50,000 different things.
Instead of just having one cohesive movement, one overarching thing that you're trying to do.
One thing that you'll understand and discover through this motion is because of the natural motion of this arm, when you go to throw, it naturally throws, shallows out your swing plane.
Watch what happens.
I go to the top of my swing and I start internally rotating my arm.
What happens to the shaft?
Super steep, right?
I'm going to come over the top.
But when I externally rotate and get ready to throw a sidearm throw, again, this is the whole cohesive thing.
If you can understand a sidearm throw, you can hit the ball way farther than you are now.
Watch what happens as I do this and bring my elbow down to my pocket.
The club shaft's never going to come over the top.
All of the things that you struggled with all come down to not understanding the basic big picture.
You want to have a shallow angle of attack?
You need a shallow swing plane.
So the more that you feel that your arm comes down, watch my shoulder.
As I take this step, it naturally shallows me out.
What about your head movement in front of the ball?
Very, very common problem with golfers.
And this is all coming from trying to heave the club with your upper body.
That doesn't make sense.
The speed doesn't come from your shoulders.
It doesn't come from rotating your torso or rotating your hips as fast as you can, like you hear on TV all the time.
It's this motion.
You can't move anything else any faster.
The difficulty with golf is that people think they need crazy amounts of what they associate with power.
And what you need is speed.
The ball only weighs an ounce and a half.
It doesn't take that much effort and energy to move that ball.
What you have to understand is how to produce speed.
And most likely, most of the things that you've heard haven't helped you in that regard at all, which is why you're still swinging, you know, 80, 90 miles an hour with your driver.
You're going to instantly be able to jump up way, way faster, swing way, Way with way more speed than you ever thought possible when you just simply correlate the golf swing to a sidearm throw.
What about the left arm, Chuck?
What is this thing supposed to do?
As I talked about, this is for control.
This has helped control the club face.
It helps shape the swing.
We're not going to get into the details because what I want you to do is work with what you've got.
You don't have to make the golf swing so complicated.
You want to get better and you want to dial it in and get it perfect.
That's what rotary swing is for.
Axiom is getting you the big picture and getting big results immediately, while having a fundamental fix to all the problems in your swing.
And it's not just your swing mechanics that we're talking about.
The swing armor that Axiom is giving you also provides you mental armor, because the golf swing is not just swing mechanics.
The mental side of things is just as challenging, if not more so, than the mechanics of it.
The mechanics we've just made simple.
You can 1000 see when I do this move, look at how much 1001 lag I have.
I got lag for days, which 1002 means I have speed available to me and 1003 all I got to do is release it.
The swing 1004 mechanics are simple.
1005 The mental side, that's where the 1006 challenge is.
And right now, When you 1007 step up over a ball and there's water 1008 right and a left to right wind, and 1009 you're a right-handed golfer who slices, 1010 I bet there's a million things going 1011 through your head.
Oh God, don't lose 1012 another one.
Don't hit it right.
Release 1013 it as hard as you can.
Aim further left.
1014 How many balls have I lost today?
1015 Get your arms up.
Elevate.
Release.
It's 1016 crazy.
What you need to be able to play 1017 your best is a clear mind.
You need to be 1018 relaxed.
You need to be at peace on the 1019 golf course.
If you're trying to think 1020 through 50,000 different mechanical 1021 things instead of one basic big picture, 1022 that's a feel.
No, we haven't really 1023 talked about mechanics.
I gave you some 1024 checkpoints.
But the goal is for you to 1025 just feel this motion as a basic sidearm 1026 throw and let everything else ride.
1027 Because the best way that you're going to 1028 perform at your true potential is to be 1029 thinking as little as humanly possible.
1030 You can't be thinking a bunch of thoughts 1031 over the ball.
You have to have a feeling 1032 and that's what this is for.
So you're 1033 going to not just have swing armor so 1034 that you're going to stop casting the 1035 club, stop hitting it fat, stop flipping 1036 at impact.
You're going to have mental 1037 armor as well because you're going to be 1038 able to free your mind.
You're going to 1039 be able to stop thinking technical, 1040 mechanical things that will not help you 1041 play better golf, and you're going to 1042 start feeling your way through a golf 1043 swing.
You're going to start feeling how 1044 effortless and efficient this way is to 1045 swing the golf club.
And once you have 1046 that, you're well on your way to playing 1047 way better golf and breaking through 1048 scoring barriers, distance barriers, 1049 fears that you have on the golf course.
1050 You'll instantly start drawing the ball 1051 with this move if you release the club 1052 properly.
And that was another piece of 1053 swing armor I built into this when we 1054 were talking about how to release it.
And 1055 I talked about releasing a little bit 1056 more out to one or two o'clock.
If you're 1057 used to swinging over the top like this, 1058 and most golfers do this, this move is 1059 the opposite.
Now we're talking about 1060 getting shallow with this elbow, 1061 remember?
So now as I start coming down, 1062 the more that you swing from the inside, 1063 the more the club face naturally wants to 1064 rotate closed.
So what that means with 1065 axiom, let's say you don't do a perfect, 1066 perfectly okay.
You come a little bit too 1067 far from the inside because of the arc 1068 that the club is traveling on.
It's 1069 naturally going to want to rotate closed 1070 more quickly, which means you'll hit a 1071 push draw.
1072 As you learn to refine this and get the 1073 club down on plane and get, start hitting 1074 your checkpoints and the club becomes 1075 more of a square path.
The club face will 1076 inherently rotate slower.
1077 So instead of hitting a push draw that 1078 still comes back to the target and you're 1079 still in play, you hit a straight shot.
1080 So that's what's cool about this 1081 movement, especially for most golfers who 1082 sliced and struggle with this banana ball 1083 forever.
You're going to instantly be 1084 able to get rid of it.
All you have to 1085 do, get your arm down here, release the 1086 club, let your forearm rotate over, let 1087 that club do what it's telling you it 1088 wants to do, and you'll hit it farther 1089 and more accurate than you ever thought 1090 you could.
1091 Golf doesn't have to be so difficult.
You 1092 just need the big picture.
You need the 1093 puzzle box cover to know the picture of 1094 what you're trying to put together.
And 1095 Axiom makes this so simple.
It makes it 1096 so easy that you're going to make huge 1097 improvements right away.
You've seen 1098 golfers pick up 50 yards in three days.
1099 We want to hear from you.
We want to know 1100 what your experience is, what your 1101 scoring barrier that you break through, 1102 how far you hit your seven iron or your 1103 driver or your three wood, or how you got 1104 home on that par five and two.
So make 1105 sure you tag us, tag Rotary Swing or 1106 Axiom Golf, and make sure you share with 1107 us because we all want to share in your 1108 experiences.
Because if everyone starts 1109 doing this, everyone will start playing 1110 better.
Everyone will have more fun.
The 1111 pace of play will pick up.
You'll stop 1112 losing as many golf balls.
You'll be able 1113 to keep the ball in front of you.
You'll 1114 be able to make huge strides very fast.
1115 So make sure you share with us on social 1116 media because we want to hear from you.
1117 We want to hear about your success as 1118 well.
