RotaryConnect Backswing Training Aid

Learn how to use the RotaryConnect to assist you in building the perfect golf backswing.

  • RotaryConnect is a simple, inexpensive, effective training aid for the backswing
  • The device holds your arms at a consistent distance throughout the backswing and downswing
  • Stop thinking about keeping your arms in sync with your body
  • Learn what the correct golf swing position feels like and allow your subconscious to take over

If you're tired of struggling with your golf backswing, boy do I have a treat for you! This simple training aid will make learning the backswing dramatically simpler and faster as it provides one of the most valuable feedback mechanisms for learning the RotarySwing - instant feedback.

When you make a mistake, the RotaryConnect golf training aid lets you know by allowing your arms to fall out of the cuffs. This is the HUGE difference between this golf training aid and others such as straps or a belt wrapped around your arm. Those encourage you to push OUT on them during the golf backswing, whereas this encourages you to apply pressure to the inside. This teaches you the correct musclular activation so that when you take the training aid off, you still perform the backswing the same way.

If you take a strap or belt off, you'll likely go right back to your original swing fault because it is teaching you to push out, which is what you are already doing or you wouldn't need this training aid in the first place!

So, pickup your RotaryConnect today and get on the path to mastering your golf backswing today!

While this may look like a set of Harry Houdini handcuffs, I'm going to show you how this is going to be your absolute new best friend when it comes to working on your golf swing. This simple little device is probably one of the most profound training aids that I've ever used or found in my 20 years of playing golf. The reason is, A, it's really simple. B, it's really inexpensive. And C, it's really effective. It does so many things for your golf swing that all golfers struggle with, that it's going to make the learning process so much smoother and faster than any other way of doing it. The piece I'm going to talk about today is, going back in the back swing. How it helps with developing a proper back swing and how it keeps you from doing so many common faults that so many golfers have. I'm going to show you how this works. It's very very simple. I've got it on the narrowest setting. I'm going to keep my arms close to my body. All I do is snap it over my arms.

                Now my arms are going to be forced to work in sync with my body. I can't take my left arm and just roll it over, because it's going to ram into my body. I can't disconnect my right arm away and just take the club back this way. It's going to teach me synchronization. As I turn back, my arms and everything are moving back perfectly together. When we grab a golf club, my take away, that five minutes to the perfect take away video that everybody should be working on and mastering is so incredibly simple. I don't have to think about what my arms are doing. It's taking care of all that for me. If we look down the line, all I do take the club back, turn my body and my arms are staying perfectly in sync with my body. Now, so many golfers, when they work on the take away they do this, they roll it in, their arms are moving too much, they're pushing the left arm across. Pulling up with the right arm. This won't allow you to do that.

                Just takes away all of the mental process of having to think about everything. It gives you a feeling of what those positions should feel like. Now, this becomes especially important when we work on five minutes to the perfect back swing and we get ourselves in out position at the top. This keeps the arms from working away from each other because you'll come out of the device. Now, once we master the take away. Keeping out arms ... We've got our width here. Everything looks great. As I go to the top, now my arms can stay in sync the whole time. My arms are staying perfectly in front of my body because if I don't, if I do something wrong, it's going to fly out. My arms are going to come out. By keeping my arms gently touching, not smashing them up inside but touching the inside of the cuffs. I can get to it to myself to the perfect position at the top every time and feel whether or not my arm's drifting away, if my left arm moves away from the cuff here.

                I know that I'm getting disconnected, so I just keep my arms gently touching the inside of the cuffs the whole swing. All the way to the top of the swing and now I'm in a great back swing position. Just dramatically simplifies everything. Now on the down swing, the same thing happens. Now we've got the benefit of learning how to keep the arms together on the down swing, because so many golfers, as they come down they start doing this kind of stuff and their arms are out of sync. They can't release it correctly because they're flipping it and so their arms are changing. There are all kinds of bad faults in the downswing that people can do. This addresses them very very simply by teaching you what really, a lot of what RST is really all about. Is keeping the arms moving in the right sequence with the body. By doing this it makes them do that. Now as we come down from the top of the swing, as we come down now my arms are in sync.

                They're in front of my chest and now most important of all, they're in front of my chest at impact. I'm at a great impact position and now I can release the golf club and my arms are still in a great position. It doesn't allow me to flip my arms over each other and try and do something crazy. It doesn't allow my arms to separate from each other. It doesn't allow me to get in all these bad positions. It puts me in the right position, working on all the things that RST is all about. Keeping your arms in front, using our body to take the club back. Moving in the right sequence on the down swing. Simple little device, works awesome for everything that your arms need to do in the back swing and the down swing. It's a no brainer. If you're working through the RST program, you're working on different videos like five minutes to the perfect take away. Five minutes to the perfect back swing, et cetera. This devices will help get you the feelings of how to do it correctly every single time, without having to have an instructor sitting there and watching you all the time. 

                Definitely pick one of these up. Start working on the drills and the drills are listed on the site for the nine to three drills, the three quarter shot drills and the full swing drills and this will dramatically simplify your thought process and turn it into subconscious where you're feeling what you're trying to do and make your golf swing, the process of learning, a lot faster.

Hi, I’m struggling with bent left arm in the backswing. Is the cause because I do not turn enough the shoulders? Would the training aid help me ? Is is also good for stop casting and improve release ? Thanks Anna
April 3, 2021
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Anna. I don't know if it would pertain exactly to your issue. You are swinging both arms too much across the chest. The lead arm is bending because of excessive trail arm flexion. Take a look at the 3 Functions of the Right Arm and Winter Golf Training Program - Backswing Video. If you keep the arms/hands more in front of the chest and don't let the trail arm bend more than 90 degrees. It will go away.

Hi Ronan - just saw your comment last night as I rewatched this video. I have tried using the tour striker ball and it works. Due to it’s smaller size you can’t put the ball as high on your arms as the rotary connect but feel it does a nice job of setting you close to where you want to be - see picture

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Andrew. I would go as close together as you can without overly squeezing the arms together for the top half. For the legs, you just need to find the happy medium to have proper stance width and feel some connection of the cuffs to provide stability.

I am also based in the UK and have done this drill with the so caled Izzo smooth swing strap . Wearing it in a simlilar position and subsittuting the the word strap for bar and I seem to get the same movement pattern . So far far so good but only 100 reps, we will see how many it takes to groove this movment so I can bring it to the golf course without having to think about it . I have to say seems a lot easier than the 5 minutes to a perfect takaway and 5 minutes to a perfect backswing drills that I was previously working on . Keep up the good work Craig.

After rotating your body while keeping the bar in front of your chest are you then lifting your arms even though your body is no longer rotating? Another way to ask this is how much is it OK to lift your arms when the body, the chest and the shoulders, stop rotating?
August 21, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello William. After the takeaway, you should still be rotating and when adding elevation the bar should only move a couple inches. The gauge is still the arms at the base of the pectorals. A good way to test would be performing the 5 Min to the Perfect Backswing Drill correctly and checking how far it moved.

Hi Craig, at around 6’28’’ Chuck says I quote: “There is a little bit of arm work to help in the downswing and the first thing you are going to key on is getting the bar touching your chest”. I am struggle to understand this, in the add the lead arm videos Chuck talks about the fact that the lead arm does not have to do anything during the downswing and it has become clear to me that I was too active with the arms during the downswing as at the end of the squat to square my left hand was already close to my right hip whereas with Chuck the hands are still about a foot behind the right hip. My question is what Chuck means by there is a little bit of help of the arms, should the bar come back on the chest as a result of gravity only or should I help a bit with the left arm to bring the bar back onto the chest? Best, Marc
May 6, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Marc. The downswing arm motion is a blend of gravity and pull. The weight shift, torso, lead lat, and gravity will assist. Chuck is referring to you can't be gumby and turn everything off. There is some pull, but not a quick yank with the arm. You have to allow it to be pulled into position. Like the Frisbee Drill.

Hi Craig, at 6'45" when the RotaryConnect bar touches the chest at the end of the downswing weight shift just before the posting, should both shoulders be on the same line. I noticed that I tended to have the right shoulder too low which is the result I think of a push with the right elbow. I am trying to decide now whether at the end of the downswing weight shift the left shoulder should be lower than the right or whether they should be pretty much on the same level. Best, Marc
May 5, 2018

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Marc. After you shift your weight before the hands enter the trail thigh the shoulders will be pretty much level.

It really slides around on the narrowest setting. If I make it a little wider, I can put some pressure on it with the inside part of the biceps to keep it from moving as much. This may be an incorrect way of using it. I've seen that the only size available is a medium. Any other tweaking suggestions? Thanks, Betsy

Hi, Betsy. Heard about the problem with the rotary connect. I have one already. Brilliant aid. A good resolution to the problem, is to put a layer of polystyrene or similar light weight material, bought from B&Q. Inside to take the slack up. Use glue to keep it from moving about. Hope this helps. Regards Tmc

Hello Betsy. Unfortunately, I don't believe there is another tweak. I believe there used to be a smaller one, but I think it is unavailable now.

So for a women the appliance lines above the breast and arms then are in front of breast not at the side. If that is correct this would be a big change in address and less chance of swinging to inside.
March 23, 2018
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Mary. Depending on chest size. The arms will have to sit a little higher than standard position. It would lead to a slightly more elevated position with less chance of inside.

Hi Hector, sounds like you need to make sure you are rotating your body while moving to complete the backswing. If you just flex the trail arm and don't rotate, you will feel the disconnect that you are speaking of.

July 19, 2017
64x64
Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
Hi Bradford, Yes it was an answer. The connect offers setting adjustments that will increase or decrease the width of it. It is designed this way because some people have wide or narrow frames. My answer was to adjust the setting so that the connect fits between your arms as shown in the videos without having to change your setup position. Not sure how else I could have answered it.

how do I know that I have set it up correctly. Can I make it wider and it would it hurt my swing by making it too wide. I have made it wider so I can keep it in place without making it move off my arm.
July 19, 2017
64x64
Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
Is it forcing your arms to not be in a natural position at address? It needs to be on a setting where it fits between your arms without you having to push your arms outwards or pinch them together too much.
July 19, 2017

is it suppose to feel that it is moving . I wonder if it suppose to feel firm enough not to move. I have had to move it to almost the last notch and wonder if that is too much.

Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
No, the connect should not be moving. You are supposed to have it on a setting that will fit between your arms and not move all over the place.

When I use the Rotary connect for the takeway, there is no problem, but my problem starts with the completion of the backswing, I have thoracic spondylosis and I felt I cant rotate anymore and I loose my spine tilt and I straight my right knee to try to do a pseudorotation ??? or not a true rotation. Any advice? what should I feel ... any help
June 30, 2017
64x64
Chris (Certified RST Instructor)
Hi Hector, are you due for a swing review by chance? It would be good for us to see how you are loading and rotating during the backswing so that we can see where things are at. If the right knee straightens to help facilitate more body turn, you run the risk of the hips being unstable. We can sacrifice a bit of body turn in the swing based on your condition, but we still want to make sure the legs are loading up properly.

Not necessarily with the irons being long. Drivers are sold very long off the shelves. For some it can be detrimental to the swing. Extended means keeping the arms extended away from you vs collapsing in towards your body. Watch keep the right are extended video. That'll help. Sorry for the late reply.

Hello, I just recently joined Rotary Swing and am greatly impressed and excited to work hard on my golf swing knowing I am working on the right things. With that said, before I joined I purchased the Power Package Golf training aid which is supposed to keep your arms in the right position throughout the swing. It has yet to be delivered, probably will be here tomorrow. Should I just get my money back? Or what do you know about this product? I already ordered a rotary connect by the way.
December 13, 2016

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Patrick. I apologize. I don't know much about that product. I'm sure we will know more in the future. A training aid is only as good as the person using it. Most can provide beneficial placement of the club. But, you have to stay aware and very astute of what you are trying to achieve and how you are getting there. Using a training aid is fine. However, be cautious it doesn't create the perfect position and you are knowing/training how it got there.

ok, thanks, so far watching and practicing I have gained a much better understanding. I have really been working on the torso turn so I don't use my arms to start the club in my back swing.

November 15, 2016
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Michael. The ovals are supposed to allow for a little give when getting to the wider settings because they will be used with the legs. I am not aware of any written instructions. The best size is just enough pressure to keep the device in position without locking the arms or externally rotating them out to max extent.

Hi I saw on the YouTube video of the rotary connect / that the bar should be parallel to the ground at the top of the backswing and kept straight / parallel to the ground in the downswing. If I look at Chuck though the bar is indeed parallel at the top but somehow inclined in the downswing as when his hands reach hip height his right arm is still above the left. What is correct? I have been keeping the bar of the rotary connect straight as instructed on the video but I think this is bringing my right shoulder down too much. Thanks, Marc

Hello Marc. Sounds like the club is dropping behind a little and the trail shoulder is pushing down too much. It may have a hair of incline as you are seeing for a better zeroed out path.

My arms don't quite fit into the rotaryconnect rings and the tool slips down to my elbows. Any suggestions on how to get them to fit? I cut some foam pipe wrap and wrapped it around the rings but other suggestions would be great.

At address, where should the "pits" or inside of my elbows be pointing? Chuck's appear to point straight out with a slight turn inward. Any help appreciated
December 13, 2015
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello James. The elbow pits need to face away from the body. You don't want to externally rotate the arms to a locked position away. But, you don't want the pits pointing directly at each other or towards the body.

Is the body/chest are rotating the whole swing in a more or less constant rate with the triangle (arms)? So dictate my body the tempo of my swing and the arms just reacting (elevation, flexion, release)? If this is the right feeling i think i´m on the right track. It´s pretty hard to learn these new movements and ingrain it, that your body knows what to do. So synchronization of the body first and then get in all the details.
December 3, 2015

Just purchased the device. How much width should I allow myself..SEEMS LIKE CHEATING if to wide. Also I am not very flexible so would you assume I might NOT be able to make full swings and just practice 3/4 swings? Also...would it be beneficial to use at home with slow practice swings as I have limited time to practice at driving/ coarse????

Hello Randal. Slow practice swings at home are always a good thing. You don't want to make the device too wide. 3/4 swings will definitely work. But, you can make a full swing with the device. Start up slowly and get comfortable with it first.

Where exactly should my hands and arms be at the top of the backswing relative to my head and torso? I heard it is shallow and close to the body, as opposed to deep and high shoulders? Any suggestion for videos?
June 26, 2015
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Loan. At the top of the backswing the hands are going to be primarily over the trail shoulder. When you add trail arm flexion it does pull the hands/arms a little across centerline. The goal would be for the arms to be inline with the base of the pectorals. All the 5 Mins to the perfect Backswing (Checkpoints and Pitfalls) talk about this in the Backswing Section.

I received the R Connect yesterday. All I have to say is that it will give you the feeling you need so when you go play it's instinctive and mechanical. I did 500 reps of takeaway and 500 backswing. Wow this simple device is amazing. I actually worked muscles that I never used while still maintaining passive arms (relaxed but controlling the club). I was a golf professional 25 years ago and I never knew the correct position of the golf club until now. Bottom line is if you don't rotate and just move your arms first you will disconnect from the devise somewhere in the backswing. Chuck mentioned the Talent Code book, I bought it and incorporate everything he is doing. There isn't any short cuts in this process, if you want to be a efficient ball striker you need to make mistakes and fix the mistakes and keep doing it until it becomes natural. So thanks a million for this mobile teacher. I know one thing my brain is complex to say the least so by doing small movements and making mistakes is bringing my mental feelings to a minimal. that's what I have been looking for in this game for years. I will be taking the RST test as well since the more I know about the golf swing the more I can fix my mistakes when they happen without going through a bunch of BS .

the video mentions getting your arms as close together as you can at address. Even without the rotary connect is this a good position to be in as long as you're in the box? Thoughout the entire swing I'm really trying to feel my arms as close together as I can while keeping them soft. It clarifies the "use the big muscles to swing" concept. That being said is my thinking mechanically flawed? Can I basically treat my arms, hands, club shaft, club head, as one soft unit swung by the body as long as I'm releasing properly?
January 18, 2015

Just got mine (perfect connextion) in the mail. It helps in all major phases. The best part is, I'll practice for 30 minutes with it on then take it off and take some swings. It's amazing what this tool helps you feel. If you have poor positions / motions you'll know it immediately as you swing. I did portions of the lose the right hand drill and left arm only drills with it on. Allowed my body to support the club while turning the right side off all the way through the swing … I hit balls this way and suffice to say I can't wait to tee it up this Saturday. I wish I could play with this thing on!

DENIS
At the top of my backswing (and looking from down the line) my rear elbow is not aligned with my rear shoulder but floating far away from my body (vide Jack Nicklaus). In this position my arms form 2 sides of an equilateral triangle. To get my rear correctly aligned with my shoulder I have to exert some pressure. What are the implications for this "flying elbow" and any suggestions as to how I train it to be in the position RTS would advocate.
August 30, 2014
64x64
Steven (Certified RST Instructor)
Denis, one of the main reasons for that Flying Right Elbow is becuase at address your right elbow pit is probably not facing directly outward. When it is rotated towards the target we start to get disconnected which then causes the flying right elbow. so make sure that your R elbow pit is facing outward at address.

I just received my Rotary Connect. I see that the adjustment slots, except for the first two, are slotted rather than holes like the first two slots. The holes do not allow rotation of the Rotary Connect; the slots do allow rotation. Which slots should I use for back swing and lower body drills. I know it has to be a function of my physical shape, but I want to get it right!
August 7, 2014
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello David. The first two slots are generally for the arms. The rest are the legs. However, I have to use the un-curved slots for my arms as well. Wide chest. It won't inhibit your progress.
August 7, 2014

Did you mean the curved slots for your arms, due to a wide chest. Another issue I have is the brackets are too wide for my arms. The Rotary Connect slips down to my fore arms. Too weak and skinny I guess.

Hello David. The two inner slots (curved) are typically for arms. But, I can't use them because of wide chest. I have to use the normal shaped holes for both arms and legs. We do have a smaller version available if you need it.

Isn't this video counter to what other lessons say? I heard that you don't move your arms at take away. The arms stay stationary and the turn of the body is what promotes the takeaway.
August 3, 2014
64x64
Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hello Dusty. The arms and hands are passive in the takeaway, but they will rotate. The majority of golfers tend to swing too much arms and hands. Rolling the forearms too early and crossing centerline. The big muscles need to be in control, but you don't want to be dead armed. Take a look at the Unleash Your Thumbnail for Power Video in the Advanced Takeaway Section. Clay will discuss why there is some rotation.

I know you need to fairly keep your distance between your arm the same from your setup. However, when at top of the swing does your right elbow need to be close to your body and pointing to the left (right handed) or is it ok for your elbows to lift a little bit to the back. I know your right lat still needs to be engaged. Yet, I don't know if it's because of my muscle but my body's naturally wanting to push my right elbow out.
July 16, 2014

Craig (Certified RST Instructor)
Hey Paul. If I'm understanding the question properly. The right elbow/arm will come away from the side as you elevate to the top. You don't want to feel the arm pinched in too close.

You can use it for the entire backswing. Check out the 5 Min to a Perfect Takeaway and 5 Min to a Perfect Backswing. In theTakeaway and Backswing Sections. Once you learn how to do the drills with your arms on the club, the connect will help you maintain the connection. Also, check out the Losing the Tush Line Video in the Downswing Advanced Section. It will help with hip spinning and glute engagement coming into impact.

I need a rotary connect! When i get to the top of my back swing i believe i get a little stuck and to much to the right side casting and having to rotate quickly. Sometimes the ball comes of well but i know its not the right sequence . My down swing does not have much lag. Hopefully i can learn to send a video in. I played like this all my life i am 63 .

Swing shirt is an option and hopefully we will have some resolve soon to this dilemma.

In the absence of a rotary connect, would a good feeling to have while swinging back and down be to try to keep your forearms as close together as possible? Or if not that exact feeling, feel as if they stay the same distance apart from setup all the way through the swing? All the while not allowing the arms and wrists to tense up? Thanks!

Patterson, the second part of your statement is spot on perfect.

Is there a way to get your opinion on the "Secret Grip" sold by Boccieri? They use a counter weight in the grip that ads weight to the shaft but moves the balance point closer to the grip end of the club. Sounds similar to the new weighed putters. I know you don't try to back products, just interested in knowing if the counterbalance can be helpful and if the added weight would be detrimental

Is the impact ball a decent replacement device to use with the rotaryconnect unavailable?

Hey guys while we wait to get a resolution to the rotary connect training aid, I would like to try and make one myself... I would assume the middle rod would be about 8/10 inches in length but i don't want to make it incorrect and promote inproper mechanics!!!! Could you please leave a comment with the exact dimensions used. Thanks guys keep up the great work!!!!!

The measurements would be different from one person to the next based on build. You will need to look at the location that Chuck uses it in the videos and have someone help you measure in that are for best fit. The connects have different settings on them to accommodate builds and place of use on body.
