I have played three rounds since being introduced to AXIOM. Here are my insights. I hope they will help others incorporate AXIOM in their game as well as help RST teach it effectively...
1) I had never thought about where the pressure was on my right foot. I now recognize that in my previous swing I was putting pressure on my right foot but I would only put pressure at 2 o'clock, then 4 and straight to 11:30. When AXIOM and I are getting along the best I move my weight evenly around the clock with special emphasis on 6, 7, 8, 9 and 10 before getting off the merry-go-round at 11:30. I am reasonably aggressive in getting my right knee headed towards the target. Doing so results in me passing through squat and a clam shell positions that even Craig would be drawn to compliment.
2) My advice to anyone starting with AXIOM is to just trust the process and let your body respond. If something goes wrong it is because YOU added something. After three rounds I am convinced that if you practice the foot and knee motions and trust them very good things will happen. I have hit some great shots and have been able to get back on track immediately when I hit a bad one.
3) My recurring miss with AXIOM is a topped shot.
4) The golf swing has always been a blur to me. But for the first time I know just how I want to feel throughout the entire backswing, downswing and impact. When I feel myself being drawn back to my old motion I remind myself that the golf swing is a clockwise move and the right feel returns immediately. What a pleasure.
5) Chuck, I do not know if this will appeal to you but I think of the AXIOM process as the DARK MATTER of the golf swing. Dark matter is a term used in physics ("loosely") for something we know exists in abundance in the universe but we can not see it. It seems such an appropriate term for what you have given us.
Kindest regards and many thanks
