Are you ready.

Chuck Quinton, RST Founder · · Norwood, MN
Are you ready?! Ok, here's the initial AXIOM video and intro as well as the new starting point for how the videos will be accessed in the link down below. The goal here is to dramatically simplify the video offering (I wanted to have just ONE video!) and only have here what is really needed - nothing more, nothing less. Of course, the other videos will still be accessible but we are still working through how to best do that. But first, I want to have a very simple, clean AXIOM video player that you can quickly and easily find exactly what you need. Any and all feedback is welcome - on both the content in the new videos as well as the layout.

Chuck, this is just amazing. I had my live lesson with Craig on Tuesday, but transmission froze several times, so I was a bit confused on the move and how it coupled with everything else. Now with this video I finally get it. Today (before watching the video) I shot a 98 and am pretty sure that next week I’ll go way lower, just practicing the Axiom in my spare time. Thank you so much for all your hard work and this wonderful present that resulted from it.

Chuck,I think these videos are great especially the intro giving the overall vision and then the second video explaining the Axiom movement. My only nitpicking item on the explanation of the movement was that it seemed like the video was getting long and you tended to go through the part of incorporating both hands fairly quickly at the end. But again that is nitpicking and the overall motion is what matters. I think for me personally I get the left vs right idea but I struggle to figure out how the merry the Axiom with either principal. But that could just be my own personal struggle on what would work best for me. I'm currently am just trying to focus on the Axiom movement and really haven't care too much yet if I like left vs right or how that may factor in. As for future videos, I think doing videos on utilizing the Axiom movement but towards specialty shots like wedge play, draw vs fade, etc. Because I think there is a contradiction of focusing solely on the clockwise movement but how would I then do any of those specialty shots. That analysis or demonstrations to show Axiom with the little nuances of those specialty shots for me would be helpful. Hope this makes sense

Hi Chuck Thank you so much for this and all that you do for us! Here is my very initial feedback. Sometimes it's that initial feedback that is most valuable and perhaps not so overanalyzed in our brains. First of all, I am a left-handed golfer but extremely right-side dominant. Based on this drill I see(now feel) that this comes with its own set of challenges. I understand that for me, I must focus counterclockwise versus clockwise. I think the pressure movement of the foot, counterclockwise is coming fast enough. I will say I am having a bit of trouble with the left arm though because of coordination with my left arm. However, I am confident with some extra practice I will train that feeling. "Getting off the merry ground" and allowing us to push with that big toe is a pretty big change as well for someone who has been concentrating on keeping my heel down so much. I have always been concerned that my hips do not open up enough and rotate fast enough and I think this is going to help me with that??? More comments later. Back to some practising and thank you again.

I think you found the "Holy Grail of Golf Swing" Chuck! And it is a beauty also. Together with Craig already told me in the lesson and the video you now have it is crystal clear for me and I can easily work with it. I hope the video's I will send diring this phase will show great results. Beside working on this by myself I also look forward very much to the moment this Axiom concept is available for all Rotary members andI can introduce this to my students. Friendly greetings, Marcel

Chuck I have practiced and played with the Axiom concept for one week. Craig demonstrated it to me last Monday. It is transformative - particularly in clearing out the thought clutter while playing. I tried left vs right on the range after play today. The Axiom foot mgr move I think lends itself more to the right arm - throw the club head at the ball move. That was how Craig taught me last Monday. To my surprise it added great speed and consistency to my strike. I really like the videos very informative - would like to see more demonstration of the linkage between left side and right side move using the axiom mgr it would help me figure out which stroke pattern serves me best. Thanks to you and Craig for all or your dedication. It is very much appreciated. Best regards Jen Jackson

Only just watched Axiom once and thought I’d put it to the test. It wasn’t what I expected but my god it makes sense. It certainly feels revolutionary, swashbuckling and powerful. Feels like providing I focus on the axiom the power comes whilst hopefully retaining all the fundamentals. I’m a left hander playing right handed. Most swings nicely brushed the mat, just some were slight air shots. Looking forward to hitting some foam balls and getting a review with Craig.

My first impression is that it was very clear and easy to understand. I’m a person that like to have some time to practice something new. But even when just starting with Axiom it immediately feels different. It feels like a magic cure for all golf problems. I’ve struggled for some time to let the trail foot roll and clear the hip better. This is my first time being able too let the trail foot roll and then come up to a follow trough. That has felt impossible up to now... To me it feels like Axiom is really a feel based dead drill. Incredible! I really want some more practice to see if I can really integrate this.

Great work Chuck. You do an excellent job taking you through the movement. Might be worth considering breaking it down into steps like you did in the DEAD Drill. Start with basic right foot movement, exiting the merry go round, adding right arm, and then adding left arm.

Hi Chuck and RST team. Very inspirational and clear instruction videos. Especially helpful for me are the emphasis on getting more depth in the trail hip by the shoulderturn and the explanation on the exit of the MRG. Personally the most important and at the same time most difficult thing to do, is to forget and let go of the stored swingfiles in my brain and start feeling the blue print movement of the golfswing: Axiom. As you can see, it's hard to turn of the brain when hitting balls. The brain pop-ups (and old habits) tend to be more persistent then. More chairdrill before hitting balls, I guess. Thank for all your effort and dedication!

Oh wow Chuck, this is sensational. I’m a low handicapper but always struggle to get any lag. I’ve been working the Dead drill and it’s helped loads but despite tonnes of practice was really fighting to get the transition & clamshell moment to work when I picked up the club, my right hip still kept firing from the top. Watching this and merely swinging my arms around in the kitchen whilst cooking dinner and I’ve finally got it - it’s that easy! Can’t wait to get the clubs out tomorrow morning and hit a few balls!
Jim G ·
The first day, I really struggled with the right foot pressure shifting from the 5 o'clock to 7 o'clock position. Now I can naturally do the clamshell drill without really thinking about it by just focusing on this subtle but key pressure shift. Since I've always lost my posture, this was a key change for me. Looks so much better. Thanks Chuck!

Chuck, Mike Daigle here from Cajun Country. After your lesson with me and my son, Chris on Sat., we went to range and worked on clockwise foot and arm movements. After a while, I noticed that it was too exaggerated, and so, as you mentioned in our lesson, I toned it down a bit, but kept the feel. The ball striking improved. I played the next morning and had 3 birdies, numerous pars, but again as you mentioned had a few bad swings and ended up scoring a 79. Not bad as I broke 80 for first time in a month. This works and plan on doing the clockwise swing during practice and round. Btw, I went back to your putting with left hand down after talking with you and looking at your Jack Nicklaus videos. Helped my putting greatly. You were right.

Chuck you are assume. I really feel like a golfer now and have only one great feeling of hitting the ball without any over the top, with club head speed and some compression. Unfortunately, I seem to still be late to post up with the right side swing just like the 50 years with the left side swing. Only now, my left knee lets me know all about it. Working on slow motion counter clockwise left knee move in concert with the merry go round off ramp move to get to post up without any other thoughts needed to get 100% compression. Bob

Hi Chuck I've watched all the videos a couple of times now and you explain the concepts very clearly. In the first video you clearly articulate the temporary 'band-aid' problem, where we think we've found a fix, but after a couple of weeks it evaporates. The other problem is that often when I try to fix one part of my swing another part goes wrong! Axiom is more like a bionic implant, it establishes the underlying movement, and the refining of that movement e.g. by using the DEAD drill should only deliver further improvement. In the Axiom video you mention that the club tends to pull some golfers out of position, my problem exactly. After some work I got to DD3, and got it signed off on swing review, but once I added the club, I was moving off the ball, losing the tush line etc and never managing to shallow the club. Once or twice I had the sensation of an clockwise circle at the top with my arms, and when it happened it was a solid strike, but I couldn't reproduce it, best I could do was a straight up and back down and just try to avoid going over the top. Some of that difficulty was due to a persistent flying right elbow but I found it hard to correct that with the normal rotation of the left arm, and I know I don't have good shoulder mobility. However Craig's feedback thus far with Axiom is that I should get deeper into transition, i.e. let the merry go round take the trail hip back, then through the clam-shell movement, and then exaggerate the clockwise rotation of the arms, so I am working on this and the movement feels much more natural now. I've been focusing on jumping off at 6, but others seem to suggest 7 or event 8, and Craig mentioned that I seem to jump off too early, so I will look at this. The right foot 'butterfly generates a storm' concept is dynamite and very well explained in the Axiom video. In the past I'd gleaned that in the back swing weight moves to heel so don't start with weight in the heels to start with. And in Bootcap Day 12 I remember the figure of 8 movement of weight (infinity) was mentioned briefly, but that's totally clear now. I agree with the other comment made about video maybe being a bit rushed at the end when you add the club and both hands. The Left versus Right video is an excellent explanation and the differences are a lot clearer to me now. I've focused on lead side dominant method, following RST, which seems to suit me as I can't throw very well, and there seems less to go wrong in terms of safety/injury. Finally the two tour pro videos show Axiom in action and really bring it all together. Thank you for all your hard work in putting all this together. I can see now how with Axiom at the core, then the DEAD Drill, then the other core videos, we will have a fantastic learning resource that is cohesive, compact and guarantees results!

Chuck, I like the videos and the organization. But, I’ve got a few kind of random things that span videos. First, can we get rid of the “weird” or “silly” references to Axiom. I get the self-deprecating intent but the movement is far from weird or silly. A weird or silly move would be telling us the only way to play good golf is pull a Roy McAvoy in Tin Cup and wear every contraption under the sun, put them all on at the same time, and practice, practice, practice. And doing so in an RV would be all the better for us. No, Axiom is not that. It’s not weird or silly. It’s a simple, effective, and efficient movement that can, and should, power the golf swing. Second, based on what I’m seeing in participant’s videos, as well as from my own initial videos, do we need to somehow place more emphasis on the primary move? It seems many of us took the go-ahead to move the arms clockwise and turned this secondary move into the primary move. Does it feel good? You bet! Can you play golf that way? You bet! But we miss your point and the potentially huge benefits by doing so. It feels as though you allude to this in the video but I’m not certain it can be emphasized enough. Maybe re-emphasizing the body still drives the arms despite this newfound focus on arm movement? Third, might a follow-up video be in order that addresses “these are the common faults we see” when people get going with Axiom? For example, we’ve learned many of us fail to let the trail hip get deep at 6 or move the arms but forget the turn the shoulders. Or, I hit the ball thin at first and I e seen a number of similar comments. Can we put a common reason to that and, if so, can address it? Fourth, the DEAD Drill is not dead. In fact, if I wasn’t already able to hit the DD positions but lacked the ability to do so dynamically would I have the quick results I saw? I don’t know. In this regard, might this mean Axiom can get you playing golf very quickly and in doing so you’ll hit many of the DD positions without even specifically trying to hit them. Axiom does that for you. And, the better you do Axiom the more positions you’ll hit. But, at some point you’ll really need to nail the entire DD so if you aren’t getting there through Axiom alone then you could break down your Axiom swing, ID which DD checkpoint you missed, and work to correct that to really take off with your swing? Just kind of curious about the long term interplay of Axiom and DD and I’m sure there will be many more inquiries. So, just a few thoughts but continued great stuff! Jim

Chuck: I’m a little confused by the left vs right video. Is the AXIOM method more appropriate for a right side push and the DEAD drill more useful for perfecting the left side pull? Thanks, Tom
