Craig, you said you had been working on getting your weight to the front foot for like a year. What was your issue and how did you work on it? I have an issue pushing too hard with the right side from the top and sliding into the ball with my weight falling back. Great when the timing is on, not so much when it's off. Also, Goaty told me that part of my issue getting the sling all the way to my left shoulder might be limited thoracic mobility. Is there a way to test for that? Thanks!

Hi Craig, Can you tell us something about grip pressure left vs right hand in chipping, pitching, wedges, full swing? Does a trailside dominant player has more grip pressure in right hand vs left hand? Can you give this in percentage? In chipping you must ‘feel’ the clubhead; if you feel the clubhead with your trail (right) hand should the anchor of the swing still be the left leg? Please discuss in webinar and would you ask Chuck to make a video about this issue? Thank you.

Hi Craig Please clarify this notion of pivoting around the lead leg vs weight shift. I assume this is not the old “stack and tilt” where they promoted staying on the front side the whole time. Also, please clarify this front leg focus va being trail side dominant (assuming we still are). Thanks, Gerald

Can you please go over coiling around the trail side and spiraling around the lead side? Are they both for the sling method? Do you do both at the same time? It seems like if you lift your lead heel while spiraling around the lead hip you may lose tension/facial stretch? Thanks!

Hey Craig, can you recommend some drills to help with sequencing through the downswing. Through unlimited, you have me working on a one handed swing to making sure I get weight shift and drop my arms before rotating through, which is helping, but it's been a bit inconsistent. Anything else I can add to help with sequence consistency would be great.

Please demonstrate how the fascia stretch “release” creates the sternum drop during the downswing. I get feedback that my sternum drop is 0/100 because there is not enough stretch/lengthening of the fascial to create the sling to pull my sternum down. Also please explain how the sternum drop movement doesn’t lead to crashing the club into the ground behind the ball.

Hey Craig, in Chuck’s latest video on How to Get the Hips Deep, when he moves his pressure back to the lead side, sitting into his lead glute, do the hips square to the target line during that move and do the shoulders stay perpendicular to the target line (back to the target). Lastly, would the arms be falling during this move at speed, or waiting for the leg transition to finish. Thanks.

At what point in the swing should you engage the adductors. I can't find the video where Chuck references this. Thanks

When practicing at the range and at home, can you explain how I should be practicing the "Whip"? When practicing at home I'm looking at the swing (both FO & DTL) in monitors to make sure I doing it correctly. When at the range I would video it of course.

Hey Craig, GOATY tells me for hip depth to plant my lead foot and push the target away. I am not understanding how that works. Can you please explain and demonstrate that to me? Second question is dealing with GOATY telling me the lead hip catches in the downswing. I think you may have gone over this before but can you explain and demonstrate that as well please? Thank you!

When I "drop my arms down" at/or in the transition phase and having the grip end of the club "hitting" the trail leg as described in the video "How to Whip the Club with GOATY". When I attempt this I feel as though I am able to clear my hips easier to make room for the trail arm. Should there be any attempt to throw the club or just keep the angle created by keeping the hands quiet? I'm still working on the drill you gave me and not doing any "throwing", but it's something I'm was wondering about. I hadn't heard anything lately about "throwing the club" in this evolution of the swing.

Hi Craig A bit late but hopefully a quick question to deal with on the Webinar. Since trying to switch my arms off and work more with the body movement to drive the swing, my GOAT score has improved a bit but the contact with the ball when I play is dead. It's sometimes unplayable. I think in my old swing my arms/hands were at least delivering SOME whip. I'd never got the J-release going when it was first issued as there was all the shorter swing stuff to crack on with. But with my current issue I revisited the GOAT grip and had a go at the J-release and could feel much more club head release. I also saw in one video a mention of to pronate the lead arm as well as the trail arm to generate handspeed. So can you clarify please? I take it that it's the GOAT grip and trail arm supination always. But is it also the case that in a full swing we also need to supinate the lead arm in order to correctly execute the J-release to generate the whip?

For the live Q&A: Based on the past two videos of lead hip coil and throwing from the top, is the idea to eventually blend an active throw of the hands (not arms!) with pulling lead glute around and up? Also, when loading the lead glute and inner thigh, is it a subtle increase in load, or should I feel the majority of my weight on the lead side in the backswing and then it increases even more in transition? Thank you as always! I appreciate all you guys do for the membership.

Can you elaborate about the chest/rib cage moving underneath the lead arm during the initial takeaway.? I’ve tried to find this movement in the videos, but unable to. So, find it “Rain Man” LOL. Also, can you discuss the need or importance of the lead arm to be protracted at address and also the shoulders to be elevated without shrugging? Explain what the trail shoulder blade s doing (movement wise) during the takeaway and the the down swing.
