Hi everyone, new member. I'm confused by the trail side vs lead side dominance and I find the various paths to learning quite confusing. 1. How do you figure out what you are (lead vs trail)? 2. Once you know what you are, should you only be doing those training modules? 3. Do you ever go back and train the other side or should you avoid all those videos like the plague? :) 4. I'm doing the C4 program and using the dashboard which I like but isn't that tied to lead side videos, what if I'm trail side and I'm doing the C4 program is that a problem? 5. The site needs to be more streamlined so that the path of instruction is more clear, it seems there are many paths of learning and different products which is very confusing for the first time user. I don't even know what Axiom is? Thanks Simon H

Hello Simon. The best way to figure out dominance is go hit some shots. What I mean is try some trail hand only smaller swings and same with lead arm. Players will tend to find they have more coordination and feel for power/release with one vs the other. There isn't a science to it unfortunately that can perfectly state this is your exact dominant side. Once, you decide a path I would get swing review and let your instructor know (so they can guide you through the abundance of content) as well as try to stay in that module that follows that dominant pattern. You should ignore the other side until one side is completely trained because you need a dominant controlling movement installed first. The C4 is a lead side pattern (my swing) even though I am right handed. Chuck said he is working on a restructuring of the site to help make it more streamlined because I understand why you may be confused. We apologize for the delay and here to help as much as possible in the meantime.
